Notwithstanding the fact that the next cleo
ton for state and county officers does not occur
until next November there is at present much
speculation INDUCED in here in regard to cam
didates. At the last election for a member of
Congress the usual division in the ranks of the
democratic party of the county was for the
time being forgotten, but since the victory
achieved on that occasion by the republicans
of the congressional district declining to vote
in many instances. the same old feeling of dis
trust and jealousy has manifested itself. For
some years whenever the contest has been
made here between the adherents of the state
managers and those opposed to their methods
OF conducting party affairs the latter have
been successful 1t now looks as if the ques-
ton would again come to the front and have
much influence i'll the primary elections,
especially in the nominations for the legisla-
ture. There will be no election of state sena-
tor this fall. DIR. Ed. Wootton. the present in
