One Supervitor and Ohe''Fbr Throe iOut l.n Township Thus Par. justice Silas G. Cooper, of East Alton, has announced his of making t6e for the office ff justice of the pr-ace in Woodriver township which he has served most efficiently EO many years. Some time ago Justice Cooper told some of bis frk-nds that he did not he would make the race this time as he- had held the office long enough. But the people of East Alton demand thrt 1 of the township justices be man in their village as Wood river.

Bf-thalto and all the small corporations in the township have a justice and they want one, too For the accommodation of his Eas: Alton fellow citizens Mr. Cooper will run and will no doubt be ejected. HP is the second candidate out in the- township. Arthur Thomas, a young glass worker, of Upper Altop, application today for papers and he will be a for assistant supervisor. Candidates for all township officers in Woodriver have be-on pretty scarce so far but as It Is very early in the game no doubt PROMINENT DEMOCRAT VIEWS WITH ALARM unload sotnethtng thai ry thoy loaded up with, i though, that whoever stands sible for this tio thftfr owri ualiirtling Ihib'the rnrrt because 1 fiee finm cnti be Induced 'of thn hurdeh." tfl notice that a newcomer aspirant for the post office is going around getting signatures of Republicans on his petition to certuy to h's good political mora-ll-ty, and re-ii-ablllty," remarked the Prominent Democrat, who had been keeping close on the comings there will be plenty when the comes for printing the official lot.

The Sewer Question at time bal- the Insane Hospital. The question has been raised here as to what the new state hospital will do for sewerage. Woodriver will be the natural drainage for the hospital but will it be permitted by the health authorities when Upper Alton was shut out from draining directly into Woodriver. If Woodriver could be used for direct sewage by Upper Alton it would Fettle the sewer question in this part of Alton. If it can be used by the staie insane asylum it will settle all difficulties out there.

The hospital will be about as Big a thing as Upper Alton originally was and the sewer question there may be an important one. It is suggested by an Upper Alton man that the sewnr question- in Upper Alton be laid on the-table" until we see what the state Institution does. But then of course it would cause a long delay with the sewering: of thin end of the city and if wo are going to have sewers at all we want them quick. Ruth Mitchell Gets First. At the annual' public speaking con- est given last evening at college chapel by the members of the senior academy class of Shurtleff college, Hiss Ruth Mitchell was awarded first prize.

Miss Edith was given second prize by the judges. There ivas a good sized audience present to hear the excellent program which and going? of the aspirants for the post office jobV "That Detition wart shown to me for a signature and when I saw the line-up of Republicans who were trying to claim of the Pike-Lincoln coun ty candidate for the Alton post office. I naturally made a few Inquiries. I interviewed one prominent Republican who had signed up the petition and he gave as his reason that he believed it good policy for the Republicans to favor the appointment of the Pike-Lincoln county candidate, as he thought the disaffection that would result among Democrats would be worth many votes to the opposition in the future. Other Republicans had other reasons for signing and it reminds me of a case of a Democratic editor who was seeking the post office.

He was running a paper in which 70 per cent of the stock was owned and controlled by Republicans who had bought an interest In the paper to be able to control it. The editor was hard to handle. He needed handling even- twice in a while, some times manhandling, sometimes financial handling, and the hands that had to handle him began to get.sore. They wanted to transfer the responsibility to the Government, so they undertook to get him the post office. to the hadn't fteal Samuel Wade to darbllhb H.

Now that freezing and ihawing weather has set in the country roads will be very bad for travel.

Several farmers walked Into town this morning from Fosterburg and other places rather than to rldo over the rough frozen roads. They have plenty of "hard roads" just now but the hard roads are too rough. One farmer said that if the farmers generally would get out and drag jhp. roads as they thaw and rfeeze they would be kept smooth and travel would Infine over them when the ground is frozen.

Stephcnson, of Sewar-l, Tiey signed up -51 petition congressman, only they counted on the congressman having as mticu horse sense as Billy Baltz has, so they tried to show how willing they were tha the aforesaid Democratic editor should have the job. However, it was discovered that they were not so disinterested as might have appeared, had not thy fact of their financial interest in his paper come to light, and the congressman personally saw to it that the choice of the Simon pure Democrats was given the favor, and the choice of the Republican of a Democratic newspaper got a turn down. I don't believe that lie- publican indorsements will go In this case, either. Billy Baltz is -10: looking out for the of tho Republican party.

-He Intends to make an appointment that wiU highly satisfactory to most Democrats, and won't outrage 'too much the feelings of the Republican stamp buyers. "The other candidates for the post office have been laying low, and have not been bothering Billy Baltz. They haven't been hunting for signatures of Republicans on a petition to the congressman-elect to hurry up and fire a Republican postmaster whose time isn't up. They are willing that the Republican postmaster shall hold on to his job until his time is out. In fact, they aren't In any such pressing need for the job that they have to crowd the mourners too hard, and step on the heels of theypallbearers at the Republican funeral.

"Some time ago I heard it said by one candidate that Champ Clark was going to grab off that prize, and drop it in the lap of an adopted son of his who had moved to Alton, and who, with blind faith in Alton, brought hero a "big bank account" to start a Democratic newspaper. Evidently champ Clark has sent word he can't do anything outside of his district, else why this hurry to get Republicans to certify as a fact that this friend Champ Clark carried the city of Alton, the county of Mad'son, the L'L'nd congressional district and the whole state of Illinois for Woodrow Wilson.
