nominated him for the place be now
holds, to state that he would not again
be candidate for county auditor. To
q number of friends and acquaintance
Mr.. Anderson stated that with the
conclusion of his present term as au-
ditor, he would retire from the politi-
cal field, and under no consideration
would he become a candidate for any
Office. The persons engaged in trying
to get him out for representative are
trying to make it appear that there is
q general demand for his candidacy
on the part of the people, and that if a
nomination is rendered to him, he will
not refuse it.
At the county convention of June
23d one or two enthusiastic Eustis men
informed Mr.. Larson, the present re-
preventative, that if he dared oppose
the motion to set aside the precedent
of naming delegates, he would be de-
feated for the nomination for repre-
sentative. A south side paper of last
week, stated after the convention that
Mr.. Larson's opposition to the prop
osition, would result in his political
death. The postofice paper of this
city has been opposed to Mr.. Larson
ever since that gentleman refused to
take hand in the postoffice fight in
this city, and support him for that
place. Mr.. Larson will probably be a
candidate for the place, just the same.
He is an outspoken Davis man, and his
record in the last legislature can be
pointed to with great deal of PRIDE
he always having been on the popu-
lar side of measure. It is under
stood that Mr.. Anderson is tied up to
Mr.. McCleary, and that be will not
favor Senator Davis in any manner.
There are likely. to be candidates
galore for the various county Offices.
The Republican convention will see
plenty of them, at least. For auditor
W. S. Mckay and G. V. Everett, both
of this city, have already announced
themselves as candidates. The former
is the present deputy county auditor,
position he has held for many years,
while Mr.. Everett is at present street
commissioner, but he was deputy
county auditor during the period that
Mr.. Mckay was postmaster. I. N.
Tompkins of Morgan is being induced
to stand as q candidate for auditor or
treasurer. On June 23d his mind was
about made up to stand for the latter
position, the machine strikers working
very hard on him to that end. II. Nj.
Ball, his Morgan manager. asked q
number of outsiders what they thought
about Mr.. Tompkins' candidacy for
that place, and he soon ascertained
that the proposition was one TO Eli in
the slate with. When Mr.. Tompkins
left here, therefore, he was undecided,
but south side paper, friendly to
him, advises his candidacy for auditor,
and it is probable that be will stand
for that place.
The contest for treasurer, at the
present time, promises to be three
cornered affair. j. r. Lankard, the
present incumbent, who has held for
four years, lis 8 candtdate for renomi.
nation. Neither faction seems to be
willing to push his candidacy, and the
probabilities are that he will have to
go it alone. Lankerd seems to lack
the magnetism necessary to draw
strikers" to him. Other candidates
for the place are David Alexander oil
Vesta and W. P. Tenney of this city
Both gentlemen are wanted by the
slate makers, If Mr.. Tompkins will
come out for the position.
John T. Hojem of Shutdown will
probably be q candidate for Sheriff
