seek election as county attorney. S. +.

to the clerkship of the district court,
and T. j. s;hearer will ask for a second
term as supervisor.
The democrats are making no espe-
cial effort to elect any Of their candi-
dates, as they realize that attempts this
year will prove as futile. as in the past.
| An attempt at a fight is being made up
on one office only, that of recorder. 1t
is said, ard they are claiming that, IN
the city, their candidate Will receive
more votes than Miss Evans. This
claim, in the opinion of the best posted
men, is altogether extravaganza, put III
| it were true there would still be no hope
for their candidate in the county at
large. :,
