Many Candidates Looming Up For the
Various Offices and Convention
Promises to Be Exciting.
PRESENT OFFICERS ARE STRONG.
Many Republicans Favor the Reelection
of All the Present Officers at the Conn
ing General Election.

will meet three weeks from tomorrow
but the clans have already begun to
gather and the convention promises to
be most interesting and exciting one.
For time it seemed as if there would
be but few candidates for the differ
ent offices, but now it seems apparent
that candidates will be very plentiful
and every one of them will have some
support IN the convention. The pres
ent officials seem to have a strong po-
sition in the hearts of the voters and
it is probable that all of them will be
reelected. Every one has announced
to his friends that he is candidate for
reelection and their friends are doing
the work of pushing the canvass for
them.
But, outside of these candidates
others are springing up in all parts of
the county for county honors. In the
race for the nomination for sheriff
Henry Timme, chief of police, has a
long lead in all parts of the county but
there are many other candidates.
John Clausen, a former candidate from
Pleasant Prairie, is in the arena again
and James Pease, of Salem, is being
urged for the position by many of the
people in the town of Salem. Besides
these three men Robert Wilson is also
looking for some strength in the con-
vention.
Next in interest comes the race for
the nomination for register of deeds.
P. c. Torrey, the present register of
deeds, is candidate for reelection
and his opponents are Conrad Shearer
and John Mitchell, both of the town of
Somers. The two candidates from
Somefs are making a hard fight for
the Somers delegation and a lively
campaign for this nomination is prom
ised in all parts of the county.
For the Office of County Clerk two
candidates have SO far appeared
w. c. Crosby, who has served" the
county in most acceptable manner
for the last two terms, and w. C.
Dowse, of Pleasant Prairie. There is
not much of fight on this nomina-
ton, as it is conceded that Crosby will
be very strong in the city and will
have delegates from ajority Of the
county towns.
John B. Ma1oney is candidate for
reelection as Clerk of the Circuit
Court and he has practically no oppo-
sition. Not a single candidate has
announced himself as opposed to Mr..
Maloney and he will probably have a
walkaway in the convention.
In the race for District Attorney,
A. E. Buckmaster, r. v. Baker and
B. 0. Sturgis have been mentioned.
Mr.. Buckmaster has held the position
for a number of years and seems to
have given good satisfaction. There
is little reason to believe that either of
the other candidates will have strength
enough to get the nomination.
The race for County Superintendent
also has brought out two candidates.
George Taylor and F. G. Gown. The
early days of the campaign seem to
show that the nomination will go to
Superintendent Taylor. While he has
held the Office only few months, he
has made most acceptable Superin.
tendent.
DR.. F. B. Lansdowne has announced
that he is a candidate for reelection a
Coroner and no other candidate has as
yet appeared IN the field.
George Vil1now is also candidate
for reelection as Treasurer.
There is no contest for the Office Of
representative in the Assembly and
S. D. S1ade will probably receive the
unanimous vote of the convention.
