nomination for sheriff.
Some lively contests, some colorless
walkaways and some fine gum shoe

was on the Democratic candidate for
mayor. In this contest J. G. Haynes
was pitted against J. ]. Heinrich, a
prominent clothing dealer and ex-state
oil inspector under Gov. Lind.

the outcome, as his election next No

office of sheriff, in which Ed Conroy
and Mart Whitcomb sought the nom
nation. Conroy won by good ma
jority
