etc. He CONTROLS n barge vnte among
lns personal friends md is generally con
sidcred as representing the Scan'lina-
vian element in the politics of this
county, and as that class holds the de-
Gliding vote. il gives him considerable
personal influence in such matters.
Mr.. Moore is IL very energetic man, who
employs II grcat many men, has many
personal friends and controls u number
Of votes that might otherwise bc cast for
Iyerson in that section. Had he been
regularly nominated he would stand n
good show of election, as it is his

county. The only two offices over which
there will be any real contest are the
offices Of sheriff and county auditor.

office Tor nearlya dozen years past. Al
though always nominated by the Re-
publicans, he has been lnrgcly supported
by Democratic votes, and tor his present

Whitfield ny his deputy. MIR. w. has
performed nearly all the duties of the
office during that time, lns inherited
much of Mr.. Strctch's tormer support,
anal now is regularly running for the
Office. He il Il native ot England, his
birth place being not far from London;
yet le has been resident ol this county
for over thi,teen yen:s and n0ws knost
every one here. The wrost criticism like.
ly to be male an him is his apparent
tondncss tor official position; having the
past two years held to the pgsition of
Co. Com. while accepting the place OF
deputy Sh,riff. Sill it must he said
that he has taken great pains tor r long
time past to thoroughly qualify himself

render his election unccrtnin.
Mr.. Plaskrli was born in Wayne Co,
Penn. in 1916, is now 3? years old He

IN this county uIl the time since, except
about one year. He has worked some
five years in logging Camps AVID been em
ployrd ut the Snoh0mish Exchange
Hotel about three years. He is not u
person to crowd himself ahead and per
slstcntly urge his own claims for any
place or pnsition. That lie is selected as
the Republican candidate tor this i'm
portant Office is solely because. he was
dcemcd the best fitted for the position.
, and the strongest candidate that his
party could put in the field. and not
from any self seeking OF his own. The
character us cilzrn and II man he has
carned for himself here, will canvass tor
him more perssirntIy than Any election
eering oi his own. lie Is one who has
always well performed all the duties OF
his station, whether in thu army or III
civil life, and the people will have no
cause to regret it il he is elected.
