has been the logical candidate for the
coming campaign. For certain rea-
sons Mr.. Fales thought he would like
the Office of register-of-deeds, but he
has concluded to stick to sheriff and
has so informed his friends. Super
visor Wilder, of his town wants TO be
clerk, but there is probability of
matters being adjusted so there will
be no fight at Belding. Mr.. Fales and
Bedding have been stepping aside so
much that they don't propose TO do it
again and the republicans of the
county will have chance to show
how much they love Bedding when
the county convention iS held. Mr..
Fales was in Portland Friday assuring
his friends that he is still a candidate.
