On Saturday. June 1, the Republicans
Of Shawnee county will hold their prim-
airy election for the choice of candidates
for the Republican county ticket
This primary is being held on the as
sumption that the supreme court will
hold that the biennial election law is
unconstitutional If the court so holds,
the county election will occur at the
usual time this fall. On the other hand,
If the law is sustained, the candidates
nominated at this primary will try to
have their nomination Endorsed for the
election a year hence
There is no great interest in the COM
ing primaries. The people who vote will
do so principally at the personal solicit
tatiOn of the candidates. An exception
to this, however, is the fight for the
county commissionership. For this Office
there is much real general interest.
The candidates for county commits
siOner are William Bradbury, Frank w
Harrison and O. G. Skinner.
The contest between A. 7. Lucas and
w. H. Williams for the nomination for
the Office Of sheriff is likely to be close
one. Each man has large personal
following, and each one is making a
hard fight for the control of the big
Second ward
For county clerk there will also be a
lively fight. The rival candidates are A
Newman and 0. K. Swayze. Mr. Swayze
is making his fight on the strength of
his record as deputy county clerk under
been active in Republican politics, is a
hard worker, good mixer, and I'M
doubtedly has the bestA of the situation.
There is a three cornered fight for the
Offices of county clerk and register of
deeds. w r. Weber, w. S. Eberle and
F. c. Bowen are the candidates for
county treasurer.
John Marshall, John Van Vechten and
II. ". CodingtOn are Sprinting against
each other for the JOB OF register of
deeds. John Marshall is the band leader
and probably has the best of the con-
test.
For coroner there are two candidates:
H. b. Hogeboom, the present incum-
bent, and H H. Keith.
J. r. Rogers is the only candidate for
the office of county surveyor. He ex-
presses great confidence in the pOSsibili-
ties of his nomination.
In the city the polls will be open from
IL a. n till p m. Outside of the city,
