Republican caucuses were held Satur-
day in North Yarmouth, Harrison
windham, Standish.and Baldwin. Great
interest was manifested In these caucuses
but it is impossible to tell 10 whom the
delegates are pledged or whom they will
support In most instances. In many
cases both cadidates for county attorney
claim the same list Of delegates and
are prepared to prove their contentious
by witnesses and letters, IL would be
unwise to attempt to predict just how
all of the delegates chosen up TO this
time will vote on the county attorney
contest. So far 30 out OF the l61 dele
gates have been chosen, the following
towns having held their caucuses:
Brunswick, Falmouth, Freeport, Gorham,
Scarboro, South Portland, westbrook,
Yarmouth, North Yarmouth, Baldwin,
Windham Harrison and Standlsh.
Bridgton with six delegates, Cape Eliza
beth with two delegates, Casco with two
delegates, Cumberland with three dele
gates, New Gloucester with three, Port
land with "a, Powna1 with two, Sebago
with two, Otisfleld with three, are yet
TO be heard from.
Portland holds her caucuses on Tues
day and with her large number OF dele
gates will weld great influences In the
county convention. 1t Is claimed by
the friends of both candidates for county
attorney that Portland is going their
way, but until the votes are counted 1t
is impossible to tell just what way
Portland will go. The fight Will be q
warm one in every ward In Portland as
the candidates feel that with the Port.
land delegation at their back they will
a - .-tx. Etsrhf W. N
delegates remain to be chosen of which
number "a are in the city OF Portland.
Two other fights enter into this coun-
ty convention. They are the nomina-
tion of candidate for senator in this
district for which there are three candi-
dates and the nomination for county COM
missioner in which there are great
many more candidates. 1t Is not antici-
patel that there will bs much of a con-
test over the denomination Of Mr.. Des-
peaux for sheriff.
