The most important office in tho county is that of county judge and tho per
sonality of the individual elected will largely determine whether tho county will
go forwards or jiack wards.
The coming low years should he husy ones of preparation and progress. .'Jack
son county cannot afford to sit idle. AVo must push ahead, ho ready for tho era
of development that tho I'anaina canal and the Panama exposition Avill inaugurate.
Wo can only judge tho future hy tho past. Wo must .nominate candidates
whoso past is an index to continued progress.
Hot, ween Merrick and Dunn, progressive citizens must choose the former.
Dunn's record as judge shows plainly enough Unit his' whole idea of offieioncy oon
sisis in economy in squeezing tho feathers off copper cents.
Action, not inaction, improvement, not stagnation, progress and development,
a dollar's value for every dollar spent, must ho tho order of the, day.
The f.iord holps them that help thoinselves, and Jackson county cannot holp

WASHINGTON. March 20. Com

rent for several davn thut the regime
of President Francisco I. Mudero ia
tottering. It is declared that the re
volution is almost sure of triumph in
the near future, including the taking
of Mexico City.
The rebels have already issued a
proclamation that Mudero will be
shot if captured, and it is reported
that he i preparing to flee from his
stricken country. Should the presi
dent leave the capital with his troops,
carnage, rapine and plunder, in which
the foreign residents will sustain
heavy property losses and possibly
their lives, are expected to follow.

The itate department announced
officially today that 1,000 rifles and
Mippiy revolvers, and u quantity of
ammunition wns shipped yesterday
aboard a Wunl liner going frni Wswr1
York to Vera Cmz. The munitions
are consigned to I'nited States Am.-bas-.ador
Henry L. Wilson, at Mexico
City. Wilson plans to distribute the
amis and ammunition among the
Americans in the Mexican capital, t-o
that they may proorly defend them
selves in ease of trouble.
It is reported that the action is
taken as a result of dispatches of tho
utoi-t important nature which have
been received from Ambassador Wil

to dangerously aggressive propor

lence is being prevented only by tho
prc-eiice of the government troops.
If the.-e soldiers leave wiwth Presi
