IN THE GAME AGAIN Former Congressman Cromer Wants Circuit Judgeship. HE IS A CANDIDATE Against Judge Leffler for Judge of Delaware Cir- , cuit Court. Muncie, Ind., Feb. 17—At a gathering of friends In his office in the V atet building former Congressman George W. Cromer made formal announcement of his candidacy for the republican nomination of judge of the Delaware county circuit court. Joseph G Leffler, present judge of the court, had already announced that he would again be a candidate for the position and this morning he reaffirmed this. Ihe contest then for the judgeship nomination of the republicans will be squarely between Leffler and Cromer, oldtime political rivals. It had been supposed that Mr. Cromer would be a candidate for the republican nomination of judge of the Delaware-Grant county superior court and that ( aptain Frank Ellis, or Attorney Will F. Hite would contest with Judge Leffler for the circuit court judgeship, but the former congressman recently decided, on* the advice of his friends, he says, to obtain the circuit court nomi; nation if possible. An effort was made to induce Judge Leffler to take the Eighth district congressional nomination, Cromer promising him all his support, and apparently Judge Leffler could have the nomination, but he like most other politicians, has come to the conclusion that this is not the year to beat the democratic John A. M. Adair, and so he declined to consider the matter.

Think the matter over seriously and see if you cannot figure out some way that you can secure a bunch of subscriptions that you' can turn in in behalf of your favorite.
