DO NOT COURT PUBLICITY
SUCCESSFUL COUNTY CANDIDATES
PEsTERED BY OFFICE
SEEKERS.
JUsTUs HOUSE IS BEsIEGED
t. n. Kane Is the Only Exception
He Stands Off Applicants With
Ease and Makes No
Promises.

Sheriff-elect Phil Justus, CONSPICUOUS
enough prior to the election Is now as
scarce as he was prominent then.
For The dozen or less jobs at his COM
mand there is an even ten applicants
| for each, and the reason of his sudden
withdrawal from public life is not with
| out good reason. Friends are circulating
! the story that Justus was abed when
! the returns came In and appeared sur
| prised and pleased when q morning pa
per and a cup of coffee Solaced and in
| formed him that he had been elected.
Mr.. Justus resides at 70 Eleventh
street and that thoroughfare has be-
| come a mecca for many since Phil was
made sheriff. Would be deputies and
| deputy sheriffs have bombarded his door
| bell at all hours, but despite this Mr..
| Justus refuses to respond.
The visitor, or better applicant, for all
callers are considered such, is received
by a servant and informed that Mr.. JUS
tus is not feeling we'll. He cannot be
seen.
Heavy hangs the head that wears a
crown and Treasurer-elect Peter Metz
| dorf is no exception to the rule
Like his other successful colleagues
he is the bone of contention that is
bothering many minds and his sudden
withdrawal from public life is also not
without good reason.
Some say he is sick and others say he
is out of the city, but there is one thing
sure he is keeping to the windward of
many office seekers and is doing the job
admirably.
The Lewiston of spoils in Mr. Metzdorf
office brought together a number of
First ward Democrats Friday evening
for the purpose of indorsing a candidate
FOR deputyship In the office, but 1t was
not productive of results.
J. 0. Cederberg had a heavy backing
but he received a setback in an objec-
ton raised by Thomas Jordan who con-
tended that there were other candidates
and that public meeting should be
called and all given a fair show Logan
Rogers is a candidate.
another applicant for deputyship
VINO has considerable backing is Fl. o.
Doolittle of the Fourth ward
Unlike the other successful candidates
Thomas r. Kane, the newlv-elac+ad
unity attorney, is not hiding himself
from public view, but on the other hand
$ around more than ever.
Tie Is not without his trouble however
from persistent officeseekers, but gener-
ally manages to handle them. All cues.
IONS as to who will be his assistants il
met with the reply:
wait until the official returns are IN
Humors Of contests by several of those
oereated in the late election are still
rife, but 1t is hardly possible that such
will take place
County Attorney Bigelow Is spoken of
IN this line, but he refuses to put him
. III on record as to what he will do.
Another candidate spoken of with a
grievence is Peter Van Hoven. Mr.. Van
HoVen has even spoken of such to
friends, but they have advised him to
remove such from his mind. In all
cases where disputes have arisen the
plurality of the successful man is In the
hundreds, and recount, it is thought
would make little change
Among candidates favorably- mentioned
Tor the vacant place in the clerk Of
courts office IS Gustave A. Knauft. Of
the First ward
Abstract Clerk John H. schulze does
not expect to make any changes in his
ONCE force He will probably retain a
Schultz, John W. Herrick and Miss Bern
stein. If Herlick should get the place IN
the sheriff's Office he is seeking. the lob
of bookkeeper,, there would be one more
Job for Schulze to assign
