PRIMARY WEEK FROM TUESDAY

CANDIDATES FOR JUDGE AND JOINT REPRESENTATIVE MAKING' ACTIVE CANVASS. _ J(Kentland Enterprise). The primaries for the nomination of all district and county officers, and for expressing a preference on candidates for President and Governor, will be held one week from next Tuesday, May 4th. The names of all presidential candidates will - appear on the primary ballot, and it will be interesting to know how Indiana will line up. Some politicians are predicting that the man Indiana endorses will receive the nomination at the Chicago convention, and as none of the candidates can claim a very strong lead at this time, there is no doubt but that the endorsement of Indiana is coveted by all of them. In Newton county it would’ take 'a pretty wise fellow to pick the winner. , The big bulk of the vote will go to Wood, Lowden, and Harding, and some are guessing that they will be in the order named. -The governorship race looks more favorable for W. T. McCray than at any time during the campaign, and confidbnt claims are made at his headquarters tha£ he will receive a majority over his two opponents, thus removing the contest from the state convention. His home friends in Newton county ’should see that there is a full vote out on primary day. The five candidates for Judge are making an active canvass. R. R. Cummings, Newton county’s candidate, is calling on as many voters as the limited time will permit and is receiving much encouragement. He js not making a personal fight against his four opponents in Jasper county, nor questioning their qualifications, but is basing his claims on the grounds that Newton jeounty has not had the judgeship since 1890. Just how Jasper county divides her vote is problematical find will have much to do in making the selection. The candidates for Joint Representative believe the field is wide open, and are making an active canvass. Dr. R. C. McCain needs no introduction to the Republican voters of either es the three counties. He served one term in the state senate and is in every way qualified, His business training and interest in public affairs would make him a valuable member of the law making body. A. B. Tolip will attract a big following by reason of the fact that he is one bf our largest and most progressive farmers, a man of good judgment, honest to the last word, and a Royal blue Republican. Jacob D. Rich is a large land owner and is extensively 'engaged in business, all of which training would admirably fit him for the duties devolving on a legislator. Warren Sf the candidate from Benton county, is a man. of broad business training and is well spoken of at home. He was formerly county chairman of Benton county.' This comprises the Republican list' oS candidates so far as there are any . contests, and the question of selection, is now up to the voter.
