GOVERNOR CANDIDATE

Judge C McFadden of the ninth
judicial district court, is being urged
by his friends and the democratic
press throughout the state to become
a candidate for governor in 1918

tive of the News the sheriff simply
stated that II was in the plain line
of his duties to enforce the law, and
that he Intended to do SO to the very
letter.

ton had been started by the church

merous complaints from property
owners and residents some short dis
