The Fight for Democratic Leader
ship in Mayoralty Race.
JULIUS j. HEINRICH PULLS OUT.
Forces-PhiIlips Regarded
as Out.

Recent events make it reasonably GER
tain that James Gray and James G.
Haynes are to have clear field in the
race for the democratic nomination for
mayor this year. julius j. Heinrich, for
mer register of deeds and later John
Lind's oil inspector, talked of as candi-
date for some weeks, on Saturday formal
ly renowned ambitions in that direction.
It Is said that Mr. Heinrich would have
insisted upon remaining a candidate If he
could have been assured that he would be
p1tted against Gray alone. But with the
certainty that Mr.. Haynes would be a
candidate, it seemed to him and many Of
his friends that he could serve both him
self and his party better by remaining
out. Both Haynes and Heinrich would
naturally draw their strength from
the ant1-Gray element. With both in the
race this vote would be divided and Gray s
chances materially increased.
1t is understood that Heinrich's friends
Will generally rally to the support of
Haynes.
Mr.. Haynes has not yet announced his
candidacy. but his friends insist that he
VII! do so at the proper time.
Ihere Is an ultra conservative element
that has hopes of getting the consent
or George Partridge to allow the use of
MS name in this connection. But 1t is
taken for granted that Mr. Partridge will
give positive refusal.
Alonzo Phillips is generally regarded as
out OF the running by reason of recent
revelations regarding the methods in the

DREGER IS CHOSEN
The County Commissioners Waste
No Time Over the Matter.
THE COMBINE" STANDS PAT
Three Votes for Mr.. Dreger ON the
First Ballot--Two ''Scat-
tering."

J. w. Dreger was formally elected to
succeed Sheriff Phil Megaarden by the
board of county commissioners yes
| terday. He received the votes Of the three
combine" members. E. r. Comst ock and
A. w. HARDWOOD received one vote each.
Commissioner, Barney, 1t is supposed
stood for Mr.. Comstock and Commissioner
Ryberg for Mr.. Harwood. 1t is understood
that they could easily have agreed upon
a man II agreement would have awaited
anything.
The proceedings were brief and to the
point. The board came to order few
minutes after 10. County Auditor Scott,
| as secretary, read the governors order
removing Sheriff Megaarden and his no
ttce for the county commissioners to elect
a successor. Chairman Sweet blandly
called for nominations. Commissioner
Smith rose ponderously and nominated ].
w. Dreger, "a representative of the Ger
man element Of the city" The ballot was
taken and the board adjourned until 2
O'Clock to give MI. Dreger chance to
qualify. His bond was placed at 1000.
There We're twenty-five or thirty pres
ent during the proceedings, mostly per-
sonal friends Of Mr.. Dreger or those in
terested in the makeup of the list of
deputies.
New Regime Begins Promptly.
The new sheriff took possession at ga
this afternoon. At 2 o'clock he took the
oath OF Office before the county commits
sioners and filed his bond The new list
OF deputies was then announced and they,
in turn. were sworn in. Mr.. Dreger, with
the others at his heels, then took his way
to the sheriff's office on the floor below.
Coroniff Williams was waiting for him.
The two repaired to the sheriffs private
| office, where Coroniff Williams turned
over possession of the Office to his success
sor.
AS the new force came in the old moved
out. The new list Of deputies is as fol-
lows: Chief deputy, Arthur L. Jones;
deputies, A. w. Woodcock, John Wall,
George 10th; court room deputies,
Charles Budd. John Brown, Chesley Ham
ilton, Nels Clausen, John Allison; jailor,
j. H. Alexander; assistant, Joseph Quinn;
Waterman, Patrick Fox; cook, IT, O.
Campbell; matron, Mrs WOODBURY.; book
keeper, Mrs. Addie l.. Townsend.
The only new deputies are Jones.
BroWn, Quinn, Fox and Campbell. The
others were retained from the old force.
1t is understood that the new sheriff had
practically nothing to do with the selec-
ton OF the deputy list, the privilege of
naming the force being turned over to

CENSURE EXPECTED
For Pension Commissioner Evans in
Pension Committees Report.
JUDGE TORRANCE WON'T SPEAK
Says He Can Say Nothing in Advance
of the Reports Pre-
~HentatiOn. =

y Judge Ell Torrance, commander-in- chief
OF the G. A. R., declines to discuss the
reports persistently telegraphed from the
east that the pension committee of which
he Is ex-oficiO chairman, Will strongly
censure Pension Commissioner Evans in
It's forthcoming report, even to the length
OF demanding the removal of that official.
II cannot speak of that matter" said
Judge Torrance. every day or two I am
asked to deny or affirm something, and I
cant be kept in hot water all the time.
The committees report will be presented
m due time to President Roosevelt, but
l must decline to discuss any phase Of It, -
While Judge Torrance was reluctant to
make even an allusion, to the pension
committees report, it. is believed in in
ner G. A. r. circles that it will be ad-
verse to the pension commissioner. M
Many veterans declare that Commits
sioner Evans is conscientious, we'll
meaning man, but that the element Of
sentiment which should exist toward the
fast diminishing ranks of the Grand Army
Of the Republic, has no place in his heart.
They say he is mathematical, just, per-
haps, but unsympathetic, and disposed to
reject rather than accept in Weighing
doubtful balances.
A well-known Grand Army man said to-
day that Commissioner Evans had never
been able to reach the summit Of patriotic
thought which animated Benjamin Harrf-
son when he said: When you consider
the old soldiers, take your place on Look
out mountain, and see 10000 of them lying
dead and wounded on the battlefield. Do
not use apothecary's scales in weighing
their affairs" This sentiment of a late
president, himself a soldier, is not held
by H. Clay Evans, according to his critics.
The pension committee is composed Of
seven members. John G. Black of Chi
cago, former commissioner, who is a
member of the committee, was not pres
ent at the last meeting, and 1T may yet
be an open question as to what the com
lnittee will recommend
