Arnold G. Scherr, the present State
auditor is a candidate for reelection,
md that he viii be renominated there
is not the slightest question. He has al.
ready secured the delegations from all
the counties which have held nominat-
ing conventions and primary elections.
In fact, no one knows any one else in
that connection except Mr.. Scherr and
.shs mention of his name lends enthus.
iasm to Republican eonventioG these
days.
The kindly feeling all over the State
for Mr.. seherr is partially due TO his
magnetic personality. He is whole
soSied gentleman andleverybody's friend.
But the real basis Of his popularity is
the efficiency OF BIZ work in the auditors

an excellent auditor and his political
opponents dare not deny It. To the con-
trary he has their commendation in that
respect. onc of the features Of his adj
