To tbo Voters of Decatur County:
1 hereby announce my candidacy
for the honorable position of Judge of
the City Court, subject to the result of
the white primary.
1 make this announcement with many
misgivings as to my competency to ac
ceptably fill this important and trying
position. To properly adjudicate the
rights of the intelligent citizens of this
great and prosperous county might well
tax the brain and heart of any man. I
can only promise that if honored by
your choice I will brim: to the discharge
of my duty eyerv faculty of my being
and will fearlessly and impartially dis
charge the same, as God gives me the
wisdom to see, and the power to per
form it. 1 have no criticism to make on
either of the other gentlemen who are
candidates for this position, save to say
that if distinguished by your choice, I
shall the more highly esteem the honor
because chosen before such able compet
itors, and if beaten by either, I shall
find in such defeat no sting of disgrace,
but shall continue to practicemy profes
sion with grateful recollection of those
friends who voluntarily bestowed upon
me their confidence and support.

All the little powers engaged in

matter to tell which is the correct
view of the situation.
William Jennings Bryan has re
turned from his European tour,
and flushed with his foreign social
triumph", is now seeking fresh
worlds to conquer. His "free sil*
ver” probably had something to
do with his popularity across the
water.
Another Democratic presiden
tial possibility is looming up in the
person of Secretary Olney. John
H. Clarke of Ohio strongly urges
the nomination and s in his
opinion Mr. Olney’s nomination
would make the Democratic victo*

could be named. - v
