For Judge North District.

Judge w. J. Middleton has an
nounced his candidacy for re-nomina-
ton for Judge of the North District
on the Democratic ticket.
Judge Middleton is the ideal type of
man for county judgeship and his
work on the county bench during the
past two years is an ample demon
stration of his eminent qualifications
for the office. AS a member of the
county court his judgment has been
found to be sound and conservative
at all times and his unfailing courte-
sy and spirit of fair dealing and i'm.
partially toward those who have had
direct dealings with the court has
been infallible. His two years SER
vice as a county judge has given him
familiarity with county affairs and
the needs of the county which will
make his services doubly efficient
should he again be the choice of the
taxpayers of his district.
Judge Middleton is successful
farmer and has been life long DEM
ocrat, and his announcement that he
will again be candidate for this Of:
flee will meet with the approval OF
the taxpayers of the county who
have at heart the successful. conduct
of the county's affairs.

faithful and loyal to their representa-

tenets of the party, but they refuse
to follow blindly any leader who at
tempts the role of dictator and puts
his own judgment against tile party
platform and ignores or de!ies the
wishes of his constituents. When
strong men like Grover Cleveland
could not do it, there is no use for
men like Joe Bailey and Jim Reed

the party can always be pretty &C.
curately gagged at State conven-

the success or failure could always
be judged very accurately following
the meeting Of State Convention,
when politicians mingle freely and
discussed party condition frankly.
This, the first convention held in
the State for. four years. was at the
extreme Southwest corner and meant
a long and hard journey from nearly
every section and very expensive to
the individual delegate. If any con-
siderable party apathy had existed,
the attendance would undoubtedly
have been affected. A full attend

was the largest convention measured

Democrats think for themselves,
and expect the officers they elect to
represent the will of the majority.
Republicans have always permitted
their bosses to think for them, and
what ever they do they expect the
rank and file to throw in the air their
ready caps. Of late years some Re-
publican voters have shown a dis
position in feeble way to break
away from complete boss rule, as in
dicated by the Bull Moose revolt, but
of course they had strong leader in
Mr.. Roosevelt to. guide them. It is
the intention of the bosses to have
one of their own choice for Presiden-
tial nominee this year, one fully sub
servient to their will. Neither Wood,
