HENRY KOROEV (Dem of Mex Jones Is a candidate for renomination, and Sidener also is seeking nomination for the office on the Republican ticket. Jones addressed a communication recently to St. Louis saloon keepers in which he appealed for their votes. He is a brother-in-law. of Jeptha D.

Howe, former boss of the Republican organization and still a power in local Republican politics. The Howe influence at the Four Courts has been the subject of criticism by members of the local bar. Ous'ter suits have been filed by Howe in the name of the Circuit Attorney on behalf of public service corporations. In one of these cases Howe was paid a fee of $1000 for his services. Howe has appeared as attorney in several cases prosecuted by the Circuit Attorney's office.

Some time ago Jones asked the Bar Association to investigate his official conduct, including, particularly, all cases in which Howe was attorney, and to bring proceedings to remove him from office If facts disclosed by the investigation should warrant such action. The Bar Association declined to undertake the Investigation and Gov. Hadley refused to take official action in the matter. Jones' request followed the published criticism of his action in recommending a parole for the manager of a local theater who embezzled $22,000 and entered a plea of guilty. When the court refused to grant the parole Jones dismissed prosecution and the embezzler went free.

Howe was attorney for the theater company, but did not appear in court to represent his client. The case of John J. Healy, who, while secretary and treasurer of the St. Louis Police Relief Association, was charged with embezzlement, and who employed Jeptha D. Howe as one of his attorneys, hung fire nearly two years before Healy finally entered a plea of guilty and was sentenced to the penitentiary.

In hfc race for renomination Jones has the backing of Charles (Cap) Troll, who is interested in several lid and also the support of a number of machine politicians. Jones is 41 years old. He was enrolled as a member of the bar June 29, 1S58. Jones did not enter upon and continue without Interruption the practice of law. He became a salesman for a tobacco company.

He was so engaged, when Arthur N. Sager was elected Circuit Attorney, in 1905, to succeed Joseph W. Howe had been instrumental In having Sager nominated, and Sager agreed to make Howe's brother-in-law nn assistant at $3000 a year. An evidence of Jones' loyalty to the party machine is shown by the fact that he submitted all of his appointments to the Republican Committee for' approval. fllAKI.KS V.
