RESTS WITH CONVENTION
OhOics Of County Candidates Left in Doubt
BY Primary Results.
STIFF FIGHT FOR TREASURER IN SIGHT
Several Also Seek sherin's Post,
while Contest ts Likely for NOmi-
nation for superintendent
of Schools.

Friends of ]. P. Greenshields, while ad-
mitting that Trey were surprised at the
remarkable strength shown by Emil Leffert
at the city primaries on Saturday night,
are not discouraged but are even sanguine
that when the convention meets on Tues
day tho nomination for county treasurer
will fall to Greenshields. On the other
hand, Emil Leffert and his supporters
were yesterday feeling even more encour-
aged than on Saturday Returns from the
country precincts, they claim. show that
Leffert developed greater strength than
they had anticipated throughout the
county and they feel confident that nothing
can now wrest the nomination from him.
Nicola township elected a delegation which
is said to be favorable to Leffert, and the
delegations from Lewis, Hazel Dell, Rock
ford and Silver Creek are also claimed for
him. Greenshields, however will have sew
eral of the country precinct delegations, as
will Consigney, making 1t a three-cornered
fight. 1t is understood none or the coun-
try delegations is instructed as to the
treasurer. There was some talk yesterday
in the city of a dark horse being sprung
at the last moment for the nomination in
the event of Greenshields being unable to
make 1t.
Tight Race for sheriff.
Next to the nomination for treasurer. in
terest is centered in that for sheriff. Ed
Slade will have the Knox township delega-
ton and Mckee the Carson delegation. but
what other strength they will develop is
problematical. Captain Cousins the pres
ent incumbent, who is seeking a renomlna-
ton for a third term, VIII undoubtedly
make a good showing in the convention,
but 1t is generally conceded the nomination
will fall to Ed Canning, who will have as
a starter. 1t is said. fully two-thirds of
the city delegates and probably more than
one of the country precincts.
With the exception of that for county
superintendent of schools, there is not
likely to be much contest for the other
nominations, although there are several
candidates for the two nominations for
members OF the Board of Supervisors.
County Superintendent McManus, who is
seeking third term, will. it is expected,
meet with considerable opposition from the
country precincts, which favor the nomina-
ton of a man from the east end. 1t is
said also that many of the country pre-
cincts are strongly opposed to the third
term proposition, and this will likely re-
suit in the nomination of Prof. Cailliet of
Macedonia.
Returns from the country precincts show
these delegates elected to the county con-
vention, of which Alderman Mcdonald of
this city will be temporary chairman:
