service. Democratic aspirants are
not elbowing each other to get to
this berth. G. A, Gritton, present
coroner and public administrator,
has been switched off to try for it,
The announcement of his candidacy
appears in our advertising columns.
That he has made a creditable rec
ord in his present office, and is well
qualified for the one for which he
now aspires, the Ledger cheerfully
comedies. We can only oppose him
on party grounds.
For Assemblymsn, c. H. McKin-
ney, the popular tailor of lone, is
willing to take up the fight for the
republicans. A democratic compet-
itor has not entered for this hope
less race.
For Supervisor in Township Five
Fred B. LeMoin will make the run
again if the nomination is rendered
him. A L. Wait has also been
mentioned on the republican side.
Lawrence Burke has announced him
self for the democratic candidate.
There were other aspirants of that
persuasion, but they appeared to
have been thrust aside by the ma
chine. This has kindled not a little
hostility. If those outside the dis
trict mix up with affairs that do not
concern them, there are party men
who are inclined to let the outsiders
elect the candidate of their choice if
they can. R. NJ. Ford has SHE'D his
castor into the arena. He announces
himself as an independent candidate.
Reuben is a democrat on national
issues, but he don't propose to sub
NIT to dictation in his own bailiwick
by anybody.
But the most sought-after Office
in the whole categoy is justice of the
peace in township one. Four dem
ocratic aspirants are out in the fore
ground, namely, H. Goldner, J. L.
Sargent, ]. R. Dick, and R. W.
Ketcham. The. present incumbent,
who has filled the place for so long
that the memory of the writer rum
meth not to the initial point thereof,
is apparently, slated for back seat.
Against this formidable array James
]. Wright announces his candidacy
as a republican aspirant in this issue.
He is bright young man, we'll quail.
flied by education and sound judg-
ment. Every republican in the
township ought to vote and work
for him. The duties of the Office
will not interfere with his other
business in the least. He has room
in his present Office in the Spagnoli
building for Jus tice court. He is
just the man for the place. His
party vote will be sufficient to elect
him by a substantial majority.
For constable of township two H.
E. Kay has been mentioned, and
can no doubt get the republican
nomination if he will take it. Should
he decline, Frank Goss is willing to
make the run No democrat has
hove in sight as yet.
Coroner and Public Administrat-
or-Geo. NJ. Huberty of Jackson,
democrat, is out for this berth. DR..
Freshman, the well-known practicing
physician and surgeon of Amador
City, and W. E. Roberts of Sutter
Creek, are mentioned by republicans.
School Superintendent - George
A. Gordon, who has filled the Office
one term, is the only aspirant of the
democracy, and will likely be re-
nominated without opposition. Geo.
F. Mack, the veteran educator, and
who has had experience as the head
of the public schools of the county,
may be prevailed upon to accept the
republican nomination.
For Assessor - Jack Marchant,
present county assessor, is the only
man mentioned for this place. There
are democrats in plenty who would
like the job, but they are fearful
that they could not command the
necessary majority at the ballot-bo
against the popular and efficient
incumbent.
