LOCAL POLITICAL COMMENT.

Ihe punching process is in embryo
just now, and matters political will
shape themselves in very short time.
Legislative matters are quiet at pres
ent, and Emmett Mark and Mayor
Wilkes OF Milaca hold the boards in
Mile Laos county. If there are other
candidates they are not in the open
yet.
1t is generally conceded that L. S.
Libby will be candidate to succeed
himself as county commissioner,
though he is not going to pay a
premium for the privilege of sitting
about the table and drawing mighty
short mileage.
Now that the bars are down pros
pective candidates are daily contem-
plating getting into the game. Many
60 to the gate and take look into
the political grazing ground, and
stand and do little thinking. That's
what some are doing now.
Since William Sanford has fled for
clerk OF court the ambitious ones in
cllned that way have hesitated a little
about fling. There are several who
would like the Office that Clerk of
Court Briggs has held sixteen wears.
but they would like to know how GER
tain candidates "cast up" and just
now politics is undergoing the ad-
Justlng and sitting process. The indi-
cations are that there will be a three
cornered fight for clerk of court.
Geo. Mcclure was down from Milaca
last Saturday looking over the court
house with a view of butting in.
He has his eye on the register of
deeds Office, and here is the political
hub about which all local politics is
at present revolving. The present
incumbent, E. NJ. Chapman, has prac-
tically decided to stay in the game.
and it is a pretty sure thing that
Charles Burnhelm of Book will file for
the same Office: It is doubtful if Geo.
Mcclure files for register of deeds if
Mr.. Burnhelm does, though this is all
predetermined. Mr.. Mcclure NAV de-
eide to make the race for clerk of
court, and if he does there may be
others. It's toss-up proposition at
present.
