boom days and made barrel of mon
ety. From the Ninth ward John He'd
man comes as suppliant. The Third
ward presents the name of E.@nG.
Krahmer, and Henry Weber is the
last man on the Republican list. Au
when he was custodian of the city and
county building, is the only Democratic
candidate.
The Republicansfwill likely name D.
M Sullivan for auditor while the DEM
ocrats may rely upona Thomas Martin
to help pull their ticket through. Capt.
M. j. O'Connor. who has been mem
toned for the place, 1T is understood,
has warned his friends that he doesn't
want their votes. ''Johnny" Mccarthy,
son of the one-time Sixth ward boss,

toned class. Martin has the assur-
ance of support from the Sixth, Eighth
and Ninth wards to start with.
For treasurer, the Republicans will
honor F. E. Edmund with a renomina-
ton, While the Democrats are hesitat-
ing between John Wagner and John
erode. Wagner says he is not can
didate. so erode may get the nomina-
ton without an effort.
For county attorney there are three
candidates that will go before the
Democratic convention, unless Stan
Donnelly's friends can persuade John
E. Hearn and d. f. PEBBLES to pull
out Of the race. Donnelly has the sup
port of the O'Brien faction In county
politics, and that faction is pretty gem
orally recognized as the big end of the
game this fall. Donnelly is brother
in-law Of his sponsors, and he will get
the Endorsement of the Popultsts as
well. All of which looks good for Mr..
Donnelly. The Republicans have more
candidates than they know what to do
with. There is considerable feeling
among some of the candidates that
they are being pushed out OF the race
by the machine, which is also running
the judiciary campaign. J. w. Pinch
is willing to accept the nomination,
provided he is turned down for the
bench, and is regarded as machine
man. But his popularity is on the
wane with the powers, who have
sprung J. E. Markham's name as
feeler. S. A. Anderson, who has been
active on the stump during the cam
paign, is also a candidate, but no one
seems to be certain where he will get
enough delegates. S. C. Crosby, whose
hopes ran high few weeks ago, is not
so certain that he is in the running just
at present. Edwin S. Thompson. who
is what might be called the lawyers
candidate, having been urged to pre-
sent his claims by many attorneys,
has strong following and his active
canvass in the past two weeks is MAX
ing his chances very favorable.
For judge of probate Gerhard Will
rich, the present incumbent can have
a denomination if he wants it. The
Populists and Democrats are favora-
bly, impressed with the claims of Frank
Robert, who is the strongest man men
toned on that side Of the house, al
though r. c. Hines is willing to make
the race against the Republican nomi-
nee.
OF the many names mentioned for
coroner there's only one that can be
conjured with. The Republicans have
timber in DIR. Henry Hahn, DR.. Coon,
DR.. Nelson and DR.. Bole, but the Dem
ocrats will be asked to renominate
Coroner Whitcomb, and there's little
doubt they will do SO. If nominated,
DR.. Whitcomb will, be elected, If any
man on his ticket is successful. Cor
oner Whitcomb has had the Office two
terms, but at that he has not been in
Office nearly SO long as was his prede
cessor. But his popularity and strength

that survived the political cyclone, and
his vote led that of his popular com
panion, County Attorney Butler. DR..
Whitcomb's name will be a stiffener

have said something about demanding
the office, but 1t is notslikely they will
be greedy if Whitcomb's name is sug-
gested to them by the Democrats.
