COURT HOUSE NEWS IN BRIEF

interesting Paragraphs From the Various Departments OF JASPER COUNTY CAPITOL Legal News Epitomized — Together With Other Notes Gathered by Us From the Various County Offices. Attorney W. H. Parklson of Lafayette was in Rensselaer on bus!-* ness Thursday. New suits filed: No. 9200. George H. Yerion and Almon W. Yerion, ex., vs. George H. Yerion; petition to sell real estate. The official notice of the primary election to be held May 4, together with a list of all the candidates to be voted for, appears on another page of this Issue of The Democrat The local supporters of Senator Harding of Ohio, one of the numerous Republican candidates for the nomination for president have made arrangements to have Senator Harding in Rensselaer next Thursday afternoon to apeak in the opera house. Judge Hanley is one of the principal Harding supporters here, while B. D. McColly is the Lowden local manager and L. H. Hamilton is the Wood campaign manager. —j— There are six Republican candidates for judge, it appears, but this fact was not known by the other candidates here until the certificate from the secretary of state was received by Clerk Nichols, district candidates being required to file their declaratiops at Indianapolis. The sixth candidate ie R. R. Cummings of Kentland, and he is the only Republican candidate for the nomination for judge from that county, hence his entry in the race is giving the five Republican candidates here considerable uneasiness. It was understood that Newton county Republicans would not have any candidate for judge or joint representative, centering their all on McCray for governor, but it now appears that they have candidates for both these offices, which will probably not gain many McCray votes in Jasper and Benton counties.
