-s Politics.
Nearly all the caucuses have been
held, and delegates to the various
county conventions elected. Last
Saturday the Republicans of Worth
ington township met at the village
hall and elected Fred Cone and Geo.
w. Gale and W. E. Stoutemyer, dele
gates. In the evening the End ward
elected Geo. w. Wilson, Azom For
hes, j. A. Town, j. J. Bingham, G.
H. Babcock, Gust Swanberg, E. X.
Smith. The first ward elected G. H,
Sibley, A. L. johnson, J. P. Peterson,
Ray Humiston, DR.. Curran, E. 9.
Pannell, G. L. Peterson, L. L. Nc
Cartney. There seemed to be little
or no strife over the selection of dele
gates, and but very few voters were
in attendance. There will be some
votes for Mr.. Denton and some for
Mr.. Peterson, the two rival candida
ties for treasurer.

For the office of treasurer the Dem
ocrats will undoubtedly endorse the
present incumbent. Mr.. Golf, who is
sure to be nominated by the peoples
party who will hold their convention
at Rushmore, Sept. 18th. Mr.. Golf
has made a good officer and is enti-
tied to denomination and endorsement
by the Populists and Democrats.
The Republican who takes the field
against him must realize that he will
have to work, and not rest upon his
oars on the fact that this is ''good
Republican year," and that he can
win in walk. There is nothing in
politics $50 uncertain as sure thing"
The fact that Mr.. Golf has held the
Office but one term is also in his ia
vor. The man who succeeds in get
ting the Republican nomination next.
Monday should realize that his work
has "just commenced"

For Auditor on the Republican
ticket we have heard but one name
mentioned, and that is Mr.. Moberly.
It seems to be settled fact that he
is to make the race against Mr.. Kend-
len. Mr.. Moberly has large per-
sonal acquaintance all over the coun-
ty, and is considered the strongest
that can be nominated. Mr.. Kendlen
will probably receive the Populist
nomination and Democratic endorse
ment-the signs of the times seem to
point in that direction. Mr.. Kendlen
has held the Office three terms and
has proven most capable officer.

i Candidates for register of deeds
seem to be more plenty than for any,
other Office. On the Republican side
are W. E. Stoutemyer, Geo. Eyland,
VIM. Wigham, Abe johnson, with a
few other townships to hear from.
The Democratic candidate will be Mr..
Kennedy, and the Populists will un-
doubtedly honor Guy Fellows with
nomination. Mr.. Fellows is promi-
nent farmer and would no doubt han
die the affairs of the Office satisfac-
torily if he could get votes enough to
give him his credentials.

For sheriff there are candidates ga
lore-and more too. Mr.. Thorn, Matt
Bryan, David Anderson, Rem Mozart
ney, on the Republican side, Ed.
Ryan. J. G. Murphy, and that old
wheel horse, Gilbert Anderson, con-
testants for the Democratic nomina-
ton. To one who is not invited to
participate in the secret work OF
Democrats, it looks as though MIR.
Anderson would easily walk off with
the Democratic nomination. He is
undoubtedly the strongest man the
Democrats can put up.

He sits upon corpse gracefully, and
as this is his first year, (filling an I'M
expired term) he is entitled to en-
dorsement from all parties. He's all
right; and as he sees that his sub
jects all get decent burial there is
no "kick coming from that direction.
