Jurist.

CHARLESTON, March 2.-Judge
Ira E. Robinson is the only Repub-
lican candidate for governor who
would be sure to carry Nicholas coun-
ty in the general election, according
to j. j. Dotson, Of Redwood, editor
of the Nicholas Republican, who Is a
visitor in Charleston.
1.-THE Judge will poll seyenty-fve
per cent of the vote Of the county In
the primary, and IL nominated
which 1t seems certain he will be
will receive substantial majority at
the hands of the voters next fall. He
has many admirers and warm sup
porters among the Democrats Of our
district and will draw large vote
from them in the general election.
The Democratic politicians realize
that and consequently are doing every
thing in their power to thwart his
nomination. They are. in common
with their henchmen and the Demo-
cratic newspapers in other parts Of
the state, moving heaven and earth
to boost General Lilly's campaign.
They believe they have nothing to
fear from the general but know they
have nothing TO hope for II the Judge
secures the nomination.
"As far as I personally am con-
cerned, my sole interest In the race
Is the welfare OF the party. That is
why i am supporting Robinson. With

GERMAN FORCES BARRED
BY HEAVY ARTILLERY

LONDON, March Am Amster-
dam despatch says that Fort Vaux,
five miles to the northeast of Verdun,
has been destroyed by heavy mortars,
according to unconllrmed German re-
ports but that the Germans cannot
approach the fort as the French have
brought heavy artillery to bear on
the approaches. 1t Is added that a
German battery has been destroyed
by French shells, and that the Ger
mans have concentrated 10000 men
near Buzy. who are to resume the
offensive with re-enforcements from
the Argonne. Buzzy is about sixteen
miles to the east OF Verdun.

WILLIAM NUSBAUM
APPLIES FOR PARDON

ernor Hatfield to pursue the course
they may elect.
AT the time of Nusbaum's convic-
tion on the charge Of violating the
law requiring the labelling of all In
toxicating liquors brought into the
state, in excess Of one-half OF one
gallon, steps were taken to appeal
the case to the supreme court, q
dozen grounds for error being al-
legged. The time in which the appeal
may be taken has not expired, and in
case a pardon Is refused. 1t is proba-
BILE that the case will go on to the
higher court.
In case Governor Hatfield should
see Itit to grant the pardon asked for.
further legal proceedings would not
be necessary. and while the end at
tanned would probably not be as sat
isfactory to the defendant as a rever-
sal Of the lower court, 1t would be q
much shorter cut and far less exren-
siye.
The trial of the case here aroused
considerable interest on account OF
the prominence OF the defendant. and
other circumstances, and the effort to
secure a pardon will be watched with
considerable interest.

PARIS, March 2.-The press and
public Of France are mystifed at the
continued pause in the German attack
around Verdun. Caution born OF ex-
perience leads generally to the rejec-
ton of the view that the Germans have
given up all hope Of trying to capture
the Lorraine fortress. 1t is thought
more likely they are merely resting
before starting afresh with greater
energy.
1t is believed in many quarters that
the attack on Verdun was only pre-
liminary to operations on much
larger scale for the purpose of trying
10 crush the French once and for all.
However, that may be, 1t Is affirmed.
that General Iotfre is fully prepared
for all eventuaIlties. So far only the
local French reserves have been called
upon at Verdun. the great general re-
serve forces remaining intact for use
in repe1ling uver-heavy onslaughts or
carrying out great counter attack
when the opportune moment comes.
The question is raised as to whether
the next German attack will again be
at Verdun or along the front from the
Somme to the Aisne, as 1t is known
that the Germans have been making
preparations along the latter line. the
southern limit of which is many miles
nearer to Paris than is verdun. These
preparations, however. are not so
elaborate as those which had been
made for Verdun.
On the other hand il the Germans
continue their assaults against Verdun
from the plain of the Woevre there
infantry will have to attack unsupport-
ed by the heaviest German guns. it is
agreed. as the water-soaked clay soil
of the Lorraine plain makes the trans
port OF such guns almost impossible.
The plain Is only crossed by four mill
tary roads and troops and light artll-
lery would be obliged to deploy in the
open under fire from the French posi-
tions on the heights of the Meuse.
Two valleys lead to Verdun from
the plain. Both are blocked by Forts
Des Tayennes and Rozelller. and
everywhere else the infantry would
face thickly wooded heights with a
straight drop OF $50 feet. The Ger
mans would have here. however, all
the resources of Metz within easy
reach.

him at the head OF the ticket we will
have nothing to fear from any
source. The Democrats, nor any
body else could produce a man who
could as much as make thIngt inter-
estlng for him. But with LILLY at
the helm we might have trouble. His
criticism Of the late Republican leg
islature and his hostility to the pres
ent Republican administration has
made him many enemies within the
party and placed him in an embar-
rassing-not to say untenable posi-
t4on before the people.
Political discretion and common
sense suggest Robinson as the only
logical choice of the Republican
party"

the state wide primary, to be held In
Indiana March q. Is going To be an
expensive proposition both TO tax
payers and candidates for Office Is the
opinion Of political leaders OF all par
ties. There is much speculation as
to what II will cost the state and
these estimates vary, but no estimate
has been lower than an average OF
sb. .0O0 a county. The lowest estimate
therefore. is $3.50, 900 for the nine
ty-two counties of the state. Some
politicians think the cost will run To
100000.
Marion county. in which Indianapo-
lis As situated, has already appfo-
priated $4,000 to pay the expenses
of the primary. Some county nitlciala
say this will not be enough. Some of
the smaller counties may not have to
spend, 1t Is estimated more than
$4,000. But the larger counties like
Lake. Vigo, ST. Joseph, Allen and
yanderburg. and perhaps few 9th
ers will, Il Is believed, have to pay
out $4,000 or more. Until all the
printing bills are in, however. IL Will
not be possible to ascertain the cost
of the primary with any certain de-
gree OF accuracy.
That the primary Is hitting the
candidates hard, there Is no question.
