The election of Editor Cox of Hartford City as the eleventh district member of the state committee pleases mightily his long list of personal friends in this county. Besides all this, Mr. Cox has a keen political eye and will make a valuable member of this important branch of out state organization. Hon. Stokes Jackson seems to be in the lead as the next democratic state chairman, and having been at ' the head of the organization when the democrats won their last notable victory, there is much to commend him for the place, and besides he is one of the most uncompromising democrats in the state. Hon. J. Fred France of Huntington was indorsed at their district meeting for clerk of the supreme court, , and as a matter of fact, will have , the solid backing of the eleventh dis- 1 trict in the next democratic state 1 convention. Hon. J. Fred will likely have the backing of many more districts, as he is a general favorite I. and is known all over the state.
