Several Candidates Being Mentioned For Judgship.

Delphi Journal. As is usually the case about this time of year, the political pot begins to boil, and several are being mentioned for the nomination for judge of the Carroll-White circuit. The decision will be made at the primary next March. Judge Jas. P. Wason, who has served two terms, informs a Journal reporter that he is not a candidate at this time for the nomination. His first elfection was largely due to the fact that he ran against Judge Pahner, of Monticello, who had made a good judge but was aspiring for the third term and Judge Wason in making the second race issued a statement saying he would not .be a candidate for the third term. This has jn all probability put Judge Wason out of the running unless he = is drafted (?). The only other democrat candidates mentioned to date are John L. Hanna, of this city, and Thomas Marvin, of Monticello. In all probability there will be four republican candidates, as friends are urging L. D. Boyd and E. E. Pruitt, both of Delphi, and Ben Carr and Geo. Kassabaum, of Monticello, to enter the political arena. At any rate, the people of Carroll and White counties will not lack for material, as there seems to be plenty of good timber.
