as county treasurer, but two have
yet entered-A. j. Frash of Malta,
and Fred Glass of the west side. Eek
HUMPHREYS now of Michigan was
down recently on a secret mission
and was in close conference with
his cousin Matson of the Herald,
and it has been surmised that since
he came within few votes of land
ing the nomination four years ago
against Carter, he might at
tempt to gather up the broken
cords, and make another wild dash.

THh P0T'S ROEING

The Teapot Dome is not the only
pot that's boiling. There are others,
and one Of them is the Republican
political pot here in Morgan county
The primary season is just opening
up, and already candidates are as
plentiful as spring poets. ID. NJ.
Abel started the gas under the pot,
when he recently announced his can
dfdacy for representative. He seem
ed to have gotten the first INSIGHT
that c. H. Fouts would not be can
didate again. Abel has waited
long time for his political feed and
has been put off from time to time,
and he now feels that something
must be coming his way. However,
hang it all, it has come to light that
there are a number of other hungry
wolves after the same morsel. one
of these is Atty Leland Dougan,
who halls from the same bailiwick
as does Abel His entry comes as
quite a surprise. Since he has fitted
himself for the law profession, hav-
ing passed the bar examination re-
Gently. some had him figured as
candidate for prosecuting attorney
or probate judge. Then there is ex-
Commissioner A. R. Davis who is
willing and anxious to wear the rep
resentatiye tam-O-shanter. But
again, there are still others. j. E.
Spence who a few months ago serv-
ed out two terms as clerk OF the
courts. has developed as keen an ap-
petite for political office as a bear
does for honey. He thinks he has
the requirement now for represen-
tative, and his wife feels the same
way about it, and there may be one
or two others. He has been groom
ing himself for the place for some
time, and the sweetest music he ever
heard was when he learned that
Fouts was to give up the place and
return to his law practice-at least
so long as Sea" Ellis Moore repre-
sents this district in Congress. And
look! here is another: Fred McIn-
turf of -Pennsville-Chester
hill. one time county commissioner,
has developed another bad attack OF
office fever, and is a full-fledged,
life sized, regular candidate and
has served notice he will stay in the
representative race to the bitter
end at least.
Talk about 'ell-upon-earth; AS
each and every one of the aforesaid
was sweetly dreaming of the stately
representative halls, pondering to
himself just what section of the law
makers hall he had best occupy,
word was bToadcasted that Earle
Eveland was about to announce his
coming out also. The aforesaid, re-
alizing Eyeland's superior qualifca-
tions, and the services he has rem
dered gratis 70 the people Of Morgan
county as a whole, their sweet slum-
bers were changed into a horrible
nightmare, with cramps, cold
sweats, etc. And take it from US,
gentlemen, if Eveland fully decides
TO enter the ropes, the rest OF you
might just as well save your pen
nies. take off your skates, and go
into cold storage.

Newton as sheriff, it is figured,
will ask for another term, and hav-
ing proven his running proclivities
many times in the face of stiff oppo-
sition, all he will have to do for the
nomination is to ask for it. There
is not another man in his party that
can down Mont for the nomination.
Stand back gentlemen.

But one candidate is announced
so far for county recorder, Mrs.
Maude Black. Her husband George
H. Black ran two years ago and was
elected prosecuting attorney on the
Democrat ticket, but died before
time for taking office. His wife has
announced her candidacy on the Re-
publican ticket for recorder. 1t is
intimated that there will probably
be no men enter this race, leaving
it for the women to fight for the
nomination among themselves as
they see fit.

While we are in no position to di-
Vulge any names, we have heard
rumblings, or it may simply have
been static, that Judge A. H. Mer-
GERS place as probate Judge is being
viewed with envy by certain of the
ever faithful who don't feel like
they could possibly wait until an
other four years roll around. How
ever, it may have been that the
Would-be candidates are considering
coming out provided the present of
fetal does not ask for a second
helping. 1t may not be generally
known, but some months ago His
Honor was as good as offered on
silver platter, a state position as
expert in the inheritance tax de-
partment. This came after he took
the civil service test governing the
same, and passed with the highest
honors, and was placed first on the
list. We understood at the time
that the reason he did not seriously
consider the appointment, which
pays handsome salary, was that
he conscientiously felt he should
not resign the position to which the
citizenry of Morgan county had
elected him.

]. @. Lyne's term as common
pleas judge is drawing toward a
close, and will have to be looked af-
ter this year also. Whether he can
slip through the primary and re-
ceive the nomination without oppo-
sition, is question being seriously
considered by those eligible for this,

From present indications it is go
ing TO sure be some campaign, and
after it is over the coroner will be
the busiest man in Morgan county.

getting into the representative race,
has alreday routed Davis, who has
switched and is now an avowed can
didate for county treasurer.

f. c. Barkhurst of course Will ask
for another two years as county sur
veyor He has had only one short
term, besides there are no other
deputies in the office sufficiently
broken in, other than the two now
in the office both of whom have al
ready had first place.

The present generation would not
office without Geo. O. McGonagle,
and he has not yet announced that
he is going to quit running. He will
be nominated and elected sure, un-
less he has opposition.

stay, although local packers took
their share of the receipts.
Large receipts have characterized
trading in sheep and lambs. Prac-
tically no changes were made dur.
ing the week. Choice lambs have
generally brought S13. A few on

til after the acts of vandalism have
been committed before notifying
authorities
Il have been informed three weeks
before the destruction OF property
at the Elks Club. one Of the con
tractors was told doors at the build
ing never would be hung" Remy
said. The contractor said nothing
at the time to the police. owners Of
the property or this office, so I am
informed. Had he done so the po-
lice would have been warned and
might have apprehended the persons
responsible for the destruction Of
property. ] also have heard that
other contractors have been threat
eneG in advance of acts Of vandalism.
but said Enthing about them at the
time.
Many organizations and irdivid.
uals already have announced their
desire TO assist in the investigation
we want them to know we appre.
ciate these offers and hope every IN.
dividuals who possess any informa-
ton. however slight Will communi-
cate with this office at once.
Further condemnation OF vandal-
ism recently committed at the new
Elks building where damage esti-
mated at $40. 900 was done. was ex-
pressed today in a telegram received
from officers Of the International
Association of Bridge. Structural
and Ornamental Iron Workers
Union. with headquarters at St.
Louis, Mo. It was signed by P. j.
Morrin. general president, and Harry
Jones. general secretary-treasurer
Action Of the international officers
Of the iron workers union follows
refusal OF John J. McNamgra, secre-
tary and business agent Of the local
iron workers union, to unite with
agents Of other building crafts in
signing a resolution condemning acts
Of violence over inter-union disputes.
Although no mention was made Of
McNamara's refusal to sign it is
likely the international officers are
familiar with the, situation since
they admit they have read the reso-
luton.
International officers said such de-
spicable acts only serve to blacken
the names Of honest labor and hon
est union men and organizations
They said they would cooperate to
the fullest extent to see that justice
Is done regardless to whom 1t may
effect
Labor unions indicated they would
swell the reward fund at their meet
ing Saturday. The Dahlstrom Metal
lie Door Company, jamestown, N. Y,
has offered 81 900 and the Brick
layers and Masons local, 800.
The Indianapolis Building Con-
tractors Association is also under
stood to have called a meeting.
