IN the First, Third and Fifth districts
County Commissioner T. F. Norton
has announced himself as candidate
on the Republican ticket for clerk of
court. Mr.. Norton's announcements
has been expected for some time. He
was down last week and it was ex-
pected that he would file at that time
but ne had some real estate business
to look after and went home without
filing. Mr.. Norton is the second can
dldate to announce himself for clerk
OF court. But there are others. Robt.

Sheriff E. D. Claggett's voluntary
retirement from the field as candi-
date for Office will leave a vacancy
that will be difficult to fill. It is sell
dom that county secures as efficient
an officer as he has been. Clerk of

that the county can i'll afford to lose.
and general regret is felt through
out the county over his decision to
not again be a candidate for that
office.-Milaca Times.
Frank T. White has filed for county
attorney in Sherburne county and e.
l.. Ward for sheriff. The Star-News
says: ''Filings have been made by
Republicans for all the county Offices.
there being three candidates for. super
lntendent of schools, two ladies and
one gentleman. There are rumors of
other filings to be made, but indica-
lions are that the Republican primar-
les will be confined to not more than
two or three offices.''
Elk River people owe Hon. H. e.
Craig good deal for securing such a.
handsome appropriation for the
bridge at this point. So does Becker
and Baldwin for similar appropria-
tons: but communities are not ALWAYS
conscientious about paying obliga-
lions OF this sort. It is to be hoped
they will not be ungrateful in this
instance, however, for Mr.. Craig has
shown that he can ''do things'' and
should be renominated.- River

Representative Mclean of Anoka
filed last week as candidate for re-
nomination. The Republicans of this
district will be pleased to see lobe

sentatives in the new capitol. Owing

sion he was unable to be present as
much as he desired and even attended
sessions Of the house against the Or
ders OF his doctors. Mr.. Mclean has
regained his health and if nominated
and elected he will be able to attend to
his duties and keep his eye on all
things of interest to the people of his
district and the State.
