that he has obtained many convictions

that he has obtained many convictions
as prosecuting attorney through secur.
ing plea OF guilty from the prisoners
and has thus saved costs to the county,
while his opponents maintain that he
cannot draw up bill of information
that will stick. What the claims of
Guthrie and Nichols are it is difficult to
ascertain, unless it is that they are re-
publicans and members of the bar.
For representative Ira P. Englehart
thinks he has cnch on the nomina-
ton. He also believes he can be elected
but has some fears of being knitted by
some of his legal friends and has also
some quslms about his railroad votes
two years ago but thinks that the later
and volunteer reductions of freights and
fares have justified his course in the leg
slature. Miles Cannon has also been
mentioned for representative, but as he
now has remunerative position with
the St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Com.
pany and is also drawing salary and
fees from Uncle Sam as receiver Of the Y.
S. land Office, he probably feels that he
cannot afford to branch out any further
without endsngering some OF his sure
pulls. The nomination by the democ.
racy will evidently go to A. j. Splawn,
who will be tower OF strength to the
ticket, for no one stands higher in the
community. His reputation for integ-
rity coupled with his keen business
sense and knowledge of the conditions
and needs of this country, makes him an
especially we'll qualified candidate for
the legislature.
For sheriff there are numerous candi.
dates on each side. A. j. Shaw will
again be before the democratic conven-
ton and his past excellent record as
sheriff will be greatly in his favor. X.
A. Grant, the present city rarshal an
nounces himself candidate for the nom.
lnation, subject to the will of the fusion
forces. Among the republicans Mr..
Tucker will again be candidate and a
hot fight is expected between Tucker and
Lincoln Dlley. who is pulling every
string in his power to secure the nom-
nation. There is not much love lost be-
twixt EN- and as consequence, l..
Greenwalt of the Mckee has some hopes
of stepping in. A. S. Paul is another re-
publican aspirant and he bases his
claims on the fight he made against
gambling and the social evil, but as the
town seems to be run on wide open
scale at present, even to the working OF
the nickel-in-the-slot machines. his
claims in this direction may not have a
powerful effect on the delegates.
Treasurer Dudley would like to have
another term at handling the county
funds and if he is unable to get the nom
ination +. G. Peck, the present chief
deputy. is willing to make the race.
The leading, if not the only candidate OF
the democrats, is A. +. Larson. the en-
terprising citizen who recently con-
point with pride. Mr.. Larson would
make an efficient and safe treasurer.
f. f. Kelso is candidate for renom-
ination for the authorship and his oppo
nent will be F. G.. Hall, who preceded
Mr.. kelso as auditor The only names
being considered by the democrats for
this Office are Emory Taylor and ]. X
Coe.
For clerk George l.. Allen is again a
candidate. N. Hartung of this city and
w. IL. Brownlow of Prosser are men
toned by the democrats.
Every county officer, unless it is Com
missioner Abe Eslin. wants another
term and consequently Assessor Robert
Scott will ask for denomination in the
republican convention. ]. A. Orchard
of Zillah, is the most probable nominee
of the democrats.
For school superintendent Mr.. Plumb
cannot again be candidate as he has
already served two terms. George
STEPHENSON. q we'll known educator, is
