POINTS IN POLITICS Reports received by Mr. McCIay from all parts of the state cause him to take a particularly hopeful view of his can didacy. Mr. McCIay has carefully re trained from invading territory vhere there are favorite sons in the race for the nomination for auditor; but assur ances reach this city daily that the gen eral feeling among the republicans of the state is very friendly to Mr. McCIay. Lancaster county is modest in her de mands this year. With only one candi date for a state office, and that candi date a man of Mr. McClay's strength, there does not seem to be any reason why the nomination for auditor should not come to this county. Impartial observers notice the ac celerated movement of the Eugene Moore gubernatorial boom. Within the last few weeks Mr. Moore's candidacy has developed considerably. In the northeastern part of the state especially he is receiving warm support, and there are indications that he has some strength in nearly all sections. Mr. Moore has always been popular with the peopln. His administration of the affairs of the auditors office has been such as to in spire the confidence of the public. He is justly regarded as a competent, trust worthy man. In the office of governor he would render efficient, able service. Mr. Moore will be a decidedly formid able factor in the state convention. The election of the republican candi dates for municipal offices is pretty gen erally conceded. An effort is being made to concentrate demo-pop-prohib strength on the hybrid candidates for police judge and water commissioner, but neither Judga Waters nor Mr.Byer is believed to be in serious danger. Mr. Schwind is an excellent young man, but republicans are generally well satisfied with the administration of Waters, and they can see no good reason for not sup porting him. Mr. Waters has held the office for four years, and during all that time there has not been a single charge against him. He has never been ac cused of making improper use of bis office. He has kept his record decidedly clear. Few people appreciate the diffi culties in the way of the police judge. It is the meanest office in the city. It is surrounded by demoralizing influ ences. Judge Waters has withstood tho influences that most of his predecessors succombed to, and bis record is greatly to his credit.. His personal habits are good, and his official record will bear the closest scrutiny. C. A.
