owS six weeks of cold weather. The
return of the bluebird, spring and foam
on your Sauer kraut barrel, that it is
working. So likewise swarm of
hungry democratic candidates fore
shadows an election.
Although the election is nearly a
year in the shadow the candidates are
as thick as fishworms after rain.
For judge the present incumbent
would not step aside if the nomination
were to swallow him up even though
he has held it down for two terms, but
the ring has decreed otherwise They
are tired of Judge who decides the
case before the evidence is in and
then there are couple who have
sons and daughters who would like to
practice up on short hand little, at
old Marshall IS expense as well as ''son
John" to practice SO much.
Then too the actions of Elijah
Cornwall Martindale foreshadowS an
awful desire and as his partner is
county dictator Elijah c. is as hopeful
as bull frog with piece of red fan
mel dangling in front of him. Elijah
has his ear to the ground for the
strange noises his candidacy creates
but dreamy thoughts of the '.high
seat in front" make him reckless
enough that he would almost like
elijah of old" risk being caught up
little piece at any rate in a chariot
with or without fire. Any old way SO
he gets up.
The Corbin crowd is too small, and
the farmer contingent are to be con-
sidered only when it comes time to
vote and Frank Brooke for clerk will
have walkaway.
VIM. O'Keefe in his salutatary last
week made his bid for reelection by
telling the dear public that he would
not-like his predecessor-make all he
could and keep all he make, but would
work for the salary and turn into the
treasury all interest on deposits and
fees on collections, &c, &c. All of
which sounds pretty good on paper.
Although Auditor Miller declared
he would not be candidate for re-
election some friend with 'inAooence
has over persuaded him and he has
shield his castor. However Mr.. Mil
Ter will have opposition that opposes
in the gentleman from Walnut who
was promised by the men who done
the figuring that if he would permit
himself to be figured out and Mr. Har-
ley in the close contest for recorder in
other words step aside for two years,
keeping his paddle out, something
would sure drop on it then. Mr..
Singrey asks now that they keep faith
and drop him M. Miller's job. Mr..
Harley of course is safe to succeed
himself and the present sheriff thinks
himself big enough for the place tor
two years longer.
The surveyor thinks himself smart
enough for any place. 1.-THE county
board" is not figuring this year. He
is safe for two years yet, but Uncle
Fred Seider says fat men look well in
big chairs anyplace: although the pay
is only $500 per year he might as well
be sacrificed as anybody. Like Elijah
he is reckless. Mr.. Snyder from the
third district thinks he will have no
opposition as he has always been an
active, wide awke and eminently re-
liable officer. We must not forget the
county assessor but presume 1.-THE
handy man" will succeed himself.
Something in the present conditions
foreshadows some things on whinh we
will enlighten you later. In the
meantime keep following your nose
