POLITICAL GOSSIP (Continued from page 1.) to Judge Macy's position rather than i to go to congress. That narrows the situation down to Delaware and Madison counties, as Toner and his friends see it. They figure that the Cromer and anti-Cro-mer factions in Delaware have carried on their warfare with such bitterness for the last ten years that practically every Republican of Any influence has taken a position one way or the other, and that one faction would not agree to support a man who had been identified with the other side. There would be nothing left but to nominate a Madison countyman, they think. After every county has been put out of the running except Madison, it devolves on Toner and his friends to figure out away of disposing of Hendee and Vestal. It stands to reason that it wouldn't do for Madison to go to the convention with more than one candidate. Assuredly, however, neither Hendee nor Vestal will quit the race just to keep peace in the family and make Toner feel good. Their past records show them to be figflters who received their training in the knock-down-and.drag-out school of politics. Just now the Toner men are shouting from the housetops that Hendee is the very man to be United States district attorney when the present term of Joseph B. Kealing expires in a few years. There is an understanding in some quarters that Hendee has been given a promise that he is to have the place, and this gives Toner and his friends a chance to encourage him in the hope. If Hendee thinks that he can land in Kealing's shoes, he won’t care to mix up in a hot fight for a congressional nomination, but I rather he will try to get the district solid for him for the attorneyship. Albert Vestal is still very much in the notion of being a candidate for the nomination. For a while no thought that he would have only Hendee to fight for control of Madison county, but now he is beginning to see that Toner is certain to be in the mix-up, too. All three men are posing as "neutrals" in the fierce fighting that has been going on in the Eighth for so long. All three were for Horace Stilwell for the Republican nomination against Cromer last year, but they declare by all that is holy that they supported Cromer after he had de. seated Stilwell. o COURT HOUSE NEWS (Continued from page 1.) heard and title quieted in plaintiff against defendants. In the estate of George H. Hart, an inventory was filed and approved. State vs. George D. Allen, a change f rrnuo case from Jay county, was set for trial May 16.
