Especial to Evening Teller.)

terest is manifested in the republican
county convention this year than at !
any previous county convention of |
Idaho county. Hon. Frank r. Good |
ing has sent Il positive message that
he Will be in attendance at the conven-
ton and this will add greatly to the
attendance and to the interest In
nearly every Office there is "A contest
The republicans feel that nomination
is victory this fall and it means some
thing to them to securet he nomination
of the offices is there d chance of a
nomination being made without oppo-
sition, The republicans of the county
are not organized and under the die
tation of any man or any body of men.
Consequently it is but natural that
there should be differences Of opinion
Starting with the probate judge there
is very apt to be contest though to
what extent has not yet appeared on
the surface. Three names are mem
toned. j. f. Jaques. present chair
man of the republican central commit
J. NJ. Wolbert of Cottonwood.
For the Office Of county attorney
there are two aspirants. T. II. Bartlett
and c. T. Mcdonald. This will prob
ably be one of the most interesting
contests of the convention as both
men have good strength and both are
able attorneys. practically sure of cleo
ton if nominated.
In the sheriffs Office things are very
much of a guess. The large number
of aspirants will probably make it i'm
possible for any one to receive the
nomination on the first ballot. and the
result will largely depend upon the
combinations that can be made after
it is seen wheret he strength lays. The
principal candidates in the field are
Ned Green of Grangeville; Burleigh
Clayton of Denver; Frank Risley. of
Denver; w. G. Brown and Russell Rice.
For the nomination of assessor there
will also be scramble. l. N. Julian of
Cottonwood; John Pearson Of Hump:
r. r. Arnold of Grangeville; Floyd
Church and Arthur Sewall are all as
pirants and the condition is much as in
the sheriffis office.
Fir treasurer the prominently mem
toned candidates are Henry Telcher,
the present incumbent Of the assessors
office. and Frank Rice Of Dixie. Both
have a large circle Of friends and this
contest seems to be an interesting one
For commissioners there are a num-
! Der of excellent men in the field. From
the first district the contest will be be-
tween c. M. Butler Of Sites, George
| Sheldon of Lowe, and John oliver OF
| Harpster.
! From the second district D. L. Wylde
of Grangeville and Mort Martin Of Tolc
are both mentioned. In the third Bailey
Chamberlain is practically the only
candidate. although it is supposed thai
others will develop before the conven-
| ton is held.
| For coroner, William irwin is men.
toned and the surveyors office seem.
| to have no other candidate than E. c
Spidden.
On the state ticket the contest is 10
so pronounced although there are ;
number of aspirants for nomination a
representative. For senator Jake Eek
ert of Cottonwood seems to be fore
CINE conclusion. The representative
in the field are Robert Jones, Gu
Wright, Loyal Atkinson and H. L
Timm. c. H. Nugent and f. w. Olive
are both mentioned by their friend
although they do not announce them
selves as candidates.
The Roosevelt delegation Is comm
out to ask for Timm as representative
and will make vigorous demand.
