While there has not been a great deal for the general pub* lie to discuss in a political way other than event* in ’Whahington, D, C. yet tilings have been happening and Some things have not happened that* aeme of the candidates wanted, The big neap of the coming primary cam­ paign came a few. week* ago when a number of candidates offered them­ selves for the various offices. The developments in the race for State Senator from this the Fifth- Sixth District are rather disconcert­ ing to the, faction supporting its nominal head, L. T. ^Marshall, for that honor. For years it has been the custom ip $he district for the counties to take turns andsit so happens that Greene county can furnish the candi? date this year, Mr. Marshall had his committee^ endorse him for the place and this whs to be taken as an indica­ tion that all otheri candidaets were .shut out. Other counties were to fall in line and give endorsements also. m . m m‘ Evidently everything was not lovely- in the Gowdy-Marshall camp.

The Dr, has nottyet made a formal announcement but bis friends indisate that such wilt be forth-com­ ing ih! a day or so. It is said that a lar&e percent of the 'central commit­ tee* will oppose Marshall in the pri­ mary. Instead of the., old faction fight In the county Marshall evidently will have his handsfull, making a cam paign in his own .county with former political associates opposing him. . ■* .7 : ■■• .' f ■ . « ■ , . . . a I f -WO read the signs o f the times correctly the Senatoral -contest will be an unusual contest. Men who wo seldom hear discuss »politics have been on an anxious Seat awaiting the pleasant news that another candidate would he entered .in this county, 'fhe balm of questionable securities has left .many sore spots and the part these holders are going to take is to he enough to cause much trouble to a candidate that a few Weeksago edit* tridered his nominations a certainty. A bit of news on state polities to filter ogt of Columbus is the prom­ ised fight between the W. C. T. XL and the Anti Saloon League over who 'Should! be nominated for governor on the Republican side. The position of the Ahti Saloon League has been kept weli: under cover until the past few days. The League had maintained a position of supposed neutrality but there is rio question now hut that a secret campaign is being carried on for James White, former head of the higua in this state. Friends of Attor­ ney-General Crat/be, have been urging hint to get in the race. Crabbe has always been strong with the League in the past. • . '* The W. C. T.

The publics continues to pay increased cost /with little or no improvement in, servicerrendered.' ; I . • . .Tfhere is no class that is suffering more from this situation than the farmer. There is no difference wheth­ er it is in state legislatures or in the Motional Congress in Washington, A tyear or so ago we sat in an. office in a neighboring city and heard an ofhand legal opinion rendered that is typical of the present time. When the attorney answered his client he made it plain that What was wanted might’ not stand a test, yet he advised his client that, he would be safe fix going, ahead. as thfc people ware so- busy attending* to prohibition* that nothing would likely be said. As long as the public Centers all thought on one thing and forgets everything else, something is taking place in the “else* quarters that no doubt is going to cost you. something .ven to the things you* catAandrwear.
