ATTORNEY LARUE FIRST TO ENTER JUDICIAL RACE

Ever since Judge Hanley has announced his intention, to retire from the bench after the expiration of his present term, there has been considerable speculation in the 30th Judicial Circuit as to who would be the judicial candidates at the coming election. With the approach of the primray elections, the clouds । which obscure the judicial sky are ■ bound to clear away and permit ! the aspirants for the bench to loom ’ into full view. The first definite rift in the clouds is made by Emmet M. Laßue, whose declarations was the first to be filed in the Secretary of State’s office in the entire state. Laßue was born in Jasper county. He attended the grade and high schools of Rensselaer, and his professional training was secured at Indiana University, from which he graduated in 1912 with the degree of L. L. B. That same year "he was admitted to the bar In Monroe county and to practice in the Supreme and Federal courts, locating in Rensselaer in 1913 where he engaged in the practice of law and served ' one year as deputy prosecuting attorney. After our entry into the World War, he entered the I army as private and was later commissioned as lieutenant. Upon his return from France and discharge from the army, he resumed his practice id Rensselaer and was appointed County Attorney of JasMr. Laßue is thirty years old. His friends-and supporters are very enthusiastic about his candidacy and ‘they feel certain that if the citizens of Jasper and Newton counties give him the support which he deserves his nomination as the Republican candidate for judge of the 30th Judicial Circuit is assured.

REMINGTON LEADING IN ARMENIAN RELIEF

A report from Remington states that they have already raised the splendid sum of $682 and more coming in. If other sections of the county will do as well Jasper will make a good showing. Fifteen members of the Ladies’ Literary Club contributed $5 each at their regular meeting Friday and it is Hoped that every member who was not present will do likewise. Joseph Lehe contributed $25. Ten members of the Home Economics Club subscribed a like sum at their meeting Saturday. We are hoping thCir contribution wil also be increased by Jurther subscriptions. A list of individuals who will support a child for a year at S6O, will be given later. Contributions may be paid to Mr. Howard Mills at The Trust' & Savings Bank or to the secretary, Mrs. John I. Gwin.

Coroner Wright was called to investigate- - ~ - Mr. Stallers had resided on the fawh where his death occurred several years, living alone all of that time. > ' , , The funeral arrangements have not been made. The fire company made its fourteenth run t>f the year late Sunday afternoon, being called to the home of Firman Thompson, of N.
