The fall campaign has already be-
come the topic of conversation among

pective places that are To De filled at
the county election next tall Some of
the present otfice-holders expect an
other term. number OF politicians
have set their caps for different places
and others are being urged by their
friends to run lor Office.
Bob Leathewood makes no secret
of his candidacy for the office of sher-
iff. and it is understood that Sheriff
Murphy will ask for another term.
1t is Inc prevailing opinion that these
two men will make the race for the
Democratic nomination for this Of
flee. On the Republican side. ex-Sher-
in Wakefield and Jack Dufton have
been mentioned as candidates. Dufton
belongs to a number of lodges, and it
is thought tnat he relies on that
strength TO pull h.m a number of
votes.
For the Office of District Attorney,
Judge Satterwhite and Judge Blenman
have been mentioned on the Demo-
cratic side as probable candidates. and
w. J. Kirkpatrick on the Republic
an side It is rumored that w. F.
Cooper will not he a candidate for
a third term as District Attorney, but
that he will Oe candidate for the
office of Probate Judge. which pays
better salary. Some OF his friends
however. are confident tnat he will
run for a third term as District Az
torney as they say that he would not
make the mistake OF running for any
other office, although il paid better
salary. as people would naturally
.nink that he had become a chronic
office-holder and il would hurt his
chances for election. Probate Judge
Purcell will no doubt be a candidate
for another term.

member OF the Boaru of Supervis-
ors, will hold over. while y. w. Ber-
nard and l.. NJ Jacobs. the Demo-

pie. Richard Brady has been men
