Who's going to run for the legislature? Is
q question that is just now on everybody's
mind. but il is not likely that the answer
TO II will come for sometime.
There are two strong factions now just
as there have been for sometime past in
county politics and both are going to con-
slider the matter well before they put out
q candidate.
The Citizens Club leaders are satisfied
that they are going to win the fight who
ever they put forward 20 make the race
for them. Several Of them have been to-
gether discussing the outlook. but Il is GER
tain that they have as yet reached no def
mite conclusion as to who viii carry the
banner for them. So far there have been
no probable candidates mentioned. except
those whose names have already appeared
in the newspapers.
The leaders Of this faction say they are
going TO put forward a good man. and
they are going in to win. They claim that
they have a majority Of the registered
votes so far as the registration has gone,
by 90 or go votes, and they say there will
be no doubt as TO the result
The anti-Citizens Club faction is also
Fn+ lee
nothing as yet with regard to its inten-
tons. It was reported that the nominal
ton had been offered to Mr.. A. A. Aveilhe
and that he had refused to accept it. Mr.
Walter c. Hartridge is talked Of as one
of the most available candidates, while IL
IS believed also that Mr.. David Wells
would make a strong race. No conclusion
has been reached, however, and probably
viii not be for several weeks, as Ii is not
expected that an election will be called
until the governor has recovered sufii-
GENTLY to resume the duties Of his Office.
1t was talked about yesterday that a
prominent politician and one of the lead
ers, was In conference night before last
with the fence people, who held meet
ing, first at Harris store, and then, it Is
stated, some of them went to the home
of the politician. This is looked upon as
rather queer, in view of the fact that the
UNDERSTANDING was lldL the iolltltdl ltdu~
ers on both sides Of the question were to
keep hands Of no matter what their in
tentions were with regard to their own
votes The two factions are not taking
sides in the fence or no fence election, but
are badly split on the question. and 1t has
been the impression for some time that the
leaders would have nothing whatever TO
say outside Of the matter OF casting their
own votes. In one instance, however, there
appears TO have been a variation from the
understanding.
The registration is still going on from
day to day at the Office of Tax Collector
J. JsMcGowan, the law requiring that the
books be kept open throughout the year.
though no voter is allowed to register
more than once during one calendar year
Those who are registering now will be al |
lowed to vote in the election for repre-
sentative whenever that election takes
place and at all other elections occurring
this year, after the election for fence or
no fence. A few are calling i'm at the |
Office from day to day, to have their names |
put on the books, but there is no particu- |
lar rush in the business just at this time. |
