auditor were:
Sheriff-Democrats, Anton Miesen
and John III. Wilson; Republicans, P.
c. Justus, M. N. .Goss, David w. Gray,
Charles ReichoW, Max Rachelman and
]. Strane.
The filings for sheriff Indicate that
Anton Miesen has a clear field for the
Democratic nomina ton, and that as a
result he will likely be the next ssher-
iff of the county. J. III. Wilson has
some friends, but persons who take an
interest In politics do not believe. that
he stands but a minor chance of nom
ination. On the Republican side the
race is to all appearances between
Justus. Goss and Gray, with the
chances largely in favor of JuStuS, If
the judgment of the men who put their
money on the outcome of sucEse con-
tests is to be relied upon.

aroused considerable interest in polit-
zeal circles. Mr.. Peterson has taken
an active interest in several past cam
paigns, and at the spring election
made the first and principal speech at
the big Democratic rally opening the
campaign. His address set firm the is
sues of the campaign and brought Mr..
Peterson before the public in a most
favorable light. He was induced to
enter the race for the position of au-
ditor because of his known eofnpe-
5tenee5 this having been displayed in his
present position as deputy county as

Gratis, George L. Bum and Thomas D.
O,Brien; Republicans. Charles Butts,
Waiter L. Chaplin, Oscar HafIam, F.
M. Catlin and James E. Markham.
Although the Democrats will not find
1t necessary to drag their candidates
through severe preliminary campaign
to secure the nominations, the fact
that there are four Republican Acandi-
dates for the two positions make 1t
evident that there will be a strong
contest and that much bad feeling will
be left after the selections have been
made. Even the best Judges amongst
the Republicans do not assume to pre-
dict the outcome as between the five
candidates.
