Dear Sir—I want to correct an
error in your pa|>er dated March IH, 1904,

E ditor S kntinki .:
My Dear Sir—I noticed in your
valuable pa|>er of the 1 Nth instant, a slight
but not intended error, connecting my
uame with the office of county judge, in
which it was said that I was an "aspirant”
for said office, "admitted to the liar last
year,” and propose to make a lively con­
test for the "coveted honor.” Now while
I know you would not purposely misrep­
resent me in this or any matter, I lieg to
la- permitted to correct the statements in
so far as the same is error. I have not*
la-en an aspirant for the nomination of
any office to la- voted for at the coming
election, but will say frankly that some
friends have voluntarily spoken to me
about running for County Judge. Invar­
iably I have answered that I would take-
no personal action in the mutter but
would be content and satisfied with what­

Mr. Hough has of late been studying the
political situation pretty closely and he
has arrived at the conclusion, and a cer­
tain one, that Judge Hanna will be re­
elected no matter what ticket he runs on
ami an opposing candidate, even though
he might be a young, ambitious lawyer,
would Ire so badly snowed under that he
would lie lost to political glory for a
decade to come. As Jackson county is to
have the judge and there is every certainty
that the county will also have the Demo­
cratic nominee for district attorney, Joes-
phine county feels that they should have
a share oi the honors and emoluments
pertaining to this judicial district, and to
that end Mr. Hough is being given en­
couragement to make a try for the nom­
ination for district attorney. There is a
possibility that he may have a free field,
for Mr. Newbury has stated openly of
late that he may not be a candidate, and
no other Republican has entered the race
as yet.
It is definitely settled that the Jackson
county delegation is to fie for Hermann
and it is practically settled that Hermann
is to tie re-nominated for congress, for all
the aspirants for his position except L. T.
Harris of Eugene, have decided to wait
for another two years aud give Mr. Her­
mann a chance to round out his career and
thus prevent his friends making trouble
in the party, as was the case when Gov.
Geer was turned down. These willing
waiters embrace Claude Gatch and ex

land State Normal as a possibility. Each
of these gentlemen hope to have their
forces in stronger array two years hence,
and it is likely that the next Republican
congressional convention will see lively
times. It is probable at this convention
that Mr. Hermann will be given the nom-
inatian on the second ballot.
The convention at Ashland which is to
select delegates to the congressional con­
vention at Salem and to the state conven­
tion at Portland is not likely to be the
tame affair that many suppose it will be,
for there is a slate under preparation con­
taining the n imes of Ashland, Medford,
Jacksonville, Gold Hill and Applegate
patriots who are anxious to serve their
j.arty and to make themselves solid with
the big tyees of the Republican party.
Should an accident befall this aforesaid
slate anil some ot the names of these wil­
ling workers, for partv good only, be left
off there would be lively times and dire
would be the result to the political ambi­
tion of some of Jackson county's budding
politicians. A meeting was held recently
in Medford to fix on the names that are
to be on the slate and here in Jacksonville
some hustling work is being done that
certain parties may be the delegates to
the state convention.
Notice For Primary.
Notice is hereby given that the Repub­
lican primary for Jacksonville precinct
will be held at the Town Hall at 2 p. m.
Saturday April 2. for the purpose of
j choosing eight delegates to the conven­
tion to be held in Ashland on Saturday
I April 9, said eight delegates to be appor­
tioned equally between the old and the
new precinct in Jacksonville.
