THE CANDIDATES PICNIC.


Yesterday, but it seemed as if every
other man was democratic candidate.
and every other candidate d candidate
for supervisor.
Mr.. Criswell was present with his
copyrighted smile: Mike Collins was
there with his fierce black mustache,
and his broad expanse of waistcoat:
Sam O'Hare glided through the crowd
in his oily way and told how easily he
was going to beat O'Connor: O'Connor
was present with a full stock of assure
ance on hand, telling how he was
going to surprise O'Haie and limiting
that complete surprise for the favor
ties was on hand for this fall. r, c.
Molseed was on deck with keen eye
and three days stubble on his chin,
suggesting that he just came from the
harvest field From what could be
learned it was rather Molseed day,
and we believe that he received more
encouragement than any other candi-
date present. 1t is reported that
Union township will give him ma
jority OF its votes. if not all MIR. Mol
seed was backed by number of en-
thusiastic friends from Milford, who
went through the crowd telling of the
superiority of their candidate.
Both of the candidates for county
attorney seemed to be counting the
favor of Mike Collins. and the willy
Mike is shrewd enough to keep good
friends with both. knowing full we'll
that the authorship comes first in the
balloting. We believe that both of
the candidates for county attorney are
expecting his support. Five candidates
for supervisor weres on the field. four
of them claiming Union township and
Mr., Fienhold quietly chuckling over
their scrap and claiming Paradise as
all his own Mr.. Fienhold is the
latest candidate. He has been free
silver republican, having left his party
within the last four years. He is a
special friend of Mr.. Romans. and we
believe has been brought out with the
intention of solving the problem in
| Union township by the nomination OF
an outside man. Mr.. Fienhold is a
good, substantial farmer, one objection
to his candidacy however, Is that he
| lives but three miles from MIR. Flah-
erty. who is already member of the
| board.
Over all this aggregation of candi-
dates, County Chairman John Cook
smiled as might the chief master of
the Harem over his collection OF
| beauties. John announces that the
nominating convention has been liked
for September Sth. He said he tried
to get the hall here for the 18th. but
found it already engaged. He further
says that some of the candidates are
not pleased with the date but that he
presumes there would be kick no
matter on what day the convention was
called.
Down in Union the fight for super
visor has grown to the personal stage.
One man is accused of being the
special pet of the whiskey element:
another is accused of bding a crank
and a populist." Ia queer term of
approbrium to be used by present day
democrat.) Another's record as a
township official is being over-hauled
and ventilated. If what they say about
each other is true. none of the candi-
dates from Union township should be
nominated. We understand that Ed.
Houston of Boyer township will be a
candidate for superintendent next year
to succeed Geo. Myers, and rumor
was aiioat that w. A. Davie of Boyer
township would be candidate for
supervisor. This, however, was denied
by Mr.. Davies friends.
Summing it all up. we believe the
ticket will stand substantially as named
in the REVIEW some time ago all.
though the opposition is putting up a
stronger fight than was expected.
Mrs. DR.. McWilliams is enjoying a
