Democratic Candidates Are Not So
Many Just Now.
The time for fling certificates of
nomination on the county ballot ex-
pred at midnight on Tuesday of
last week, and at that time only six
candidates nominated by the last
Democratic county convention had
filed their certificates. As result
only six Of the opposition will be
found on. the ticket, SO far as the
county is concerned.
The first to file was Michael Moore,
Democratic candidate for sheriff.
w. S. Crooks, an independent can
didate for the same office, had his
on file in time to get OH the ticket.
The second Democratic nominee to
file was. George W. Sackreiter of
Wanda, who was nominated for reg
lister of deeds. His certificate was
filed the day before. ]. B. Robin
son, candidate for Judge of probate,
also had his certificate on file in
time to get on the ticket, while G.
A. Scott, who was nominated for
clerk of court, paid in his $40 on
the last day for the business. The
fifth man on the ticket to file was 7.
L. Gilbert, candidate for commits
sioner from the First district.
The complete ballot, which is pub
lished in supplement form in this
issue of The GAZETTE, has three
candidates for Congress, McCleary,
the Republican, Mathews, the DEM
ocrat, and Works, the Prohibition.
The name of Judge Weber appears
as the only candidate for district
judge and James A. Larson appears
a the only candidate for represen-
tative. This is where there was a
little surprise. The Democrats of
the city and number of others be-
lieved all along that Mr.. Cooper
would file his certificate. Mr..
Cooper was IN doubt, but late
Tuesday afternoon left the certifi-
cate and the price in the hands of
A. w. Bager. with instructions to
file by CERT lin hour in the night,
in case Mr.. Cooper did not counter
mand the fling. A short time be-
fore the fats. hour arrived, after Mr.,
Cooper had been chewing the propo-
sition all day, he decided not to file
and withdrew the certificate and
nomination fee, and as result Mr..
Larson will have no opposition
again this year.
|. N. Tompkins is the only candi-
date for auditor, as is also w. p.
Tenney for treasurer. Mr.. Clague
has no opposition for county attor-
ney, Mr.. Bigham none for surveyor.
DR.. Halves none for coroner, Mr..
Houghmaster none for court COM
and Mr.. Race none for
superintendent Of schools. In the
commissioner districts two out of
three of the opposing candidates
filed, John Garlic in the Third dis
trict being the one Republican who
is to be elected without opposition.
T. L. Gilbert, Democratic candidate
for co nmissioner in the First dis
trict, was the first candidate TO file
and II. F. Jackson, the Democratic
in the Fifth district, filed
his certificate on the last day.
G.. A. Scott, who filed for clerk Of
court, was in grave doubt about
filing until a day or two before the
time for closing the nominations. He
realized that Mr., Warner was one
of the strongest men on the ticket,
and his only idea in going against
him was to keep the Democratic
party represented as we'll as posi-
BILE on the ticket.
