Little Campaign Excitement Is
Notice able on Streets.
CONTEST FOR SHERIFF
Only One That Is Attracting
Any Attention.
Every One Admits That Vote
Will Be Small.

greatest CHORUS OF the WOIhGAS IDS Yin
pletely failed to arouse any degree OF
interest.
The whole fight is centered in the
contest for sheriff. At the last minute
J. +. White, a prominent temperance
worker announced his candidacy. He
is too late to have his name put on the
ticket and those who vote for Mr.. Whlte
will have to write his name on the pal
The friends of Sheriff Cook are con-
fdent of the result They say that
there is no doubt whatever of his re-
election and some of the most en-
thusiastic claim that he will lead the
Ex-sherir KeKpley's friends also
seem confident and Mr.. hepley says
that if he can get out the vote he Will
be elected. Both sides have been max
ing a still hunt campaign and the latest
strength of either is an unknown guam
What effect the candidacy of Mr..
White will have can only be conjectur-
ed 1t would be reasonable to suppose
that he would draw from Mr.. Cook
rather than from Mr.. Kepley but Sher1H
Cook is not receiving the cordial sup
port of the temperance element Whlch
was given him two years ago ana II IS
possible that some who would vote Tor
Mr. Kepley will now vote for Mr.
White.
Chairman CLANCY of the Republican
county central committee says ma Il
the vote will be light but he thinks
that more of the stay at homes Will
be found among the opposition than in
the Republican ranks.
Following are the tickets:
Republican: Sheriff, Porter S. Cook;
county clerk, John NJ. Wright; county
treasurer, H. NJ Philips; register of
deeds, Frank L. Stevens; surveyor, j.
p. Rogers; coroner, DR.. H. b. Hoge-
boom; commissioner, 5. H Haynes;
state senator, John T. CLANCY
Fusion: Sheriff, R. B. kepley; county
clerk, Z. D. Wilcox; county treasurer,
J. w. Hinecke; register of deeds, Guy
Kiene; surveyor, A. c Bum; coroner,
Dr. L. Ryder; commissioner, G. W.
Higginbotham; state senator, no nom
The unusual condition of having no
contest for one of the offices prevails
Chairman CLANCY, who is the candidate
for state senator, will be elected with
| out a semblance of a contest for the
opposition ticket is blank.
The fusion of forces in Shawnee cOun-
! ty is as close this year as it has ever
| been but it has been demonstrated that
! in voting for sheriff but little attention
! is paid to party lines and there will be
I some scratching for this office on both
] sides. On the other candidates the
party lines will be pretty closely OBJ
/ The polls will open at eight o'clock
( in the morning and will close at six.
/ The Republican county central COM
mittee has arranged to keep open house
! tomorrow night at the old court house.
/ A telephone, No. S09 has been put in
! and a special wire has also been run in
J
! ton will be received during the evening.
Every one will be welcomed.
