March B.—The latest can didate to get into the contest for the Democratic nomination of superior court judge in the fourth judicial district is K. R. Hoyle, of Sanford, Lee county, well known attorney who has been active in politics there for a numebr of years. The fourth district is composed of Wayne, Johnston, Har nett, Lee, and Chatham counties. Re ports heard here recently from Lee county is that Hoyle has already an nounced his candidacy and is out and running. This makes four candidates for the judgeship already in the race, witn a fifth one on the verge of announ«* ing any time now. One of the others already in the race besides Hoyle is Judge D. HV Bland, (of Goldsboro, Wayne county, former judge of the Recorder's Court there and former member of the State senate from the eighth senatorial district. The Golds boro and Wayne county bar associa tions are reported to be backing Bland very strongly and it is agreed that he is going to give the field a stiff race. One of the biggest hurdles Bland is going to have to jump is that Judge Frank Daniels, the present incumbent and who has announced he will not seek re-election, lives in Goldsboro and ♦he other counties in the district feel that they should get a chance at the judgeship, since Wayne has had it for 40 years. Another candidate is Clawson L. Williams ,tlie present solicitor of the district and from Sanford, Lee county as is Hoyle. Since Williams has al ready been elected solicitor in the district and is well known in all the counties, some think he is going to be a hard man ito beat. Still another candidate is F. H.
