OFFICIAL PAPER OF ADAMS COUNTY. THURSDAY. DEC. 12. The southern momlters in congress **m to favor Arthur I’ue Gorman for president in I'.KM. Mntiv of them ineluding Senator Joe Bailey of Texas, have made declarations to this effect. From the Huntington Herald wo note that J. Fred France aspires to lie district democratic committeeman for the eleventh district, and we hope to see his political aspirations gratified. Jim would make a gtxxl eommiteeman and well deserves the honor. Chuk up. The ci tv of Boston has elected Patrick A. Collins, democrat, mayor of that city by over 18.0 ft) plurality. This is the largest major ity ever given any candidate in that city. Two years ago a republican was elected by over 2.tX\' majority. Thk president Tuesday announced his choice for the federal judgship in the mime of Francis E. Baker, a member of the present Indiana su prame court. The appointment is a clear cut victory for Senator Bever age, who never for a moment wavered in his support of Baker, and it also means that the present K<xvsevelt administration will not tie iself to the Fairbanks kite. It lacks much how ever, in being a satisfactory appoint ment to the Indiana g. o. p. Hex R. H. H tKTroKv of Portland, is one of the Jackson Day speakers at Indianapolis.

JUDUB LEFFLER A CANDIDATE. Rumors were currant about the city during Saturday afternoon that Joseph G. Leffler, judge of the Delaware circuit court, had decided to enter the contest for the congressional nomina ! tion in the eighth district ami that ho . would make known his decision to friends during the evening at the law office of Bell A Needham. Although no notice had Ixx'ii given many friends of Judge Leffller who had learned of the matter gathered within a short time after the supper hour. Friends of the candidate in Jay, Randolph, Wells ami Adams counties had been ' i urging him for weeks to make the race, and this, added to the pressure from Delaware county friends,caused him to finally acquiesce. but not until Saturday night’s gathering hud he made any definite statement of his in ' tentiou. News of the affair spread ' in the busy down town streets before it had Ixxhi in progress long. At least • one hundred and fifty enthusiastic republicans. friends ami admirers of the 1 judge, were soon crowded into the four rooms of the attorneys’ offices. i J udge Leffler greeted his friends as thev arrived, informing them individ ually of his purpose. Later he was i called out and a sjxxx'h demanded. His response was received with enthusiastic applause. In jxirt he said: "I am surprised and pleased to meet so many of the republicans of our countv here tonight. I desire to say that I am entering the congressional race in gvxxl faith and to win. 1 am not entering it for the purpose of defeating any one man but every man that is a candidate and to receive the nomination. 1 want to sav that I have every reason to believe that I think I know, that if the republicans of Del aware county endorse my candidacy at their primary and give me a solid delegation to the the convention, I can and 1 will lie nominated as the repub liean candidate in this district. I will lie the candidate of no faction or set of men. If nominated I will lie the candidate of theentira republican party. the party in which I believe ami to which I have always lxx»n true. If nominated 1 will earnestly en- ! deavor to harmonize all elements ami unify the party " The nux'ting then seemed to turn itself into a genuine republican love feast. Something like twenty speeches wvra made anud much enthusiam. | Fr 'f Judge Letter to 8 Muncie Star. v' .v o McKux baa some in-1 formation for every committeeman 1 and every dem.xT.it as well, the same being found on page two. it refers totbe district meeting at Bluffton, !
