County Political Chat.
Candidates for County Offices
are Coming to the Surface.
The time for county politics, bes
coming subject is nearly at hand,
and at this time of the campaign
there is always considerable chat
flying about and some observations
have been taken. 4. :.zs.
For county auditor, E. A. Trip,
in all probabilities be candidate
and why he should not, there is no
good reason. He has proved himself
an able officer, fulfilling every 10.
quisite that pertains to all officer. An
opponent in his own party has not
yet developed, at least one that is
desirable. Among the Democratic
aspirants it will probably lie be-
tween G w. Schulz aud j. A. Ken
nedy, with the former accepting reg
lister of deeds, if he don't land the
authorship, and it is said that Carl
may be candidate for sheriff He
ought to have at least one Of them,
as we could say a good deal for Carl
if he was only Republican. F.!
Gus Lindgren will probably be a
candidate for re- nomination as long
as there is any show of getting it at
all, and he makes good officer, but
| it is said that F. D. Lindquist, Of
Dundee, has been casting loving
glances at the register of deeds office
Frank is alright and any one could
conscientiously support him. },
| For Treasurer, the old standby
John P. Peterson, says he will MOI
take another term. He has made an
efficient officer and if his name should
appear on the ticket, the other party
would let that place golblank on thei'
ticket. A candidate, S. W. Laythe
of Graham Lakes, has been put, il
the field early for this Office, and il
that is any advantage he ought t
get it, but j. H.. Denton, an ole
wheel horse of the party, has long
had had aspirations for this Office
