ABOUT COUNTY POLITICS.

ABOUT COUNTY POLIIlCS.
Democrats are embarrassed by a
wealth of candidates. Our democrat
ic friends find that they have more
timber for county officers than they
know what to do with. About the
only Office that is going a-begging is
the nomination for State Senator.
In this case Carey and Caswell are
standing like Alphonse and CASTOR
saying politely "After you, my
DEAR Both of them want the nom
ination for representative and are
willing that the other should take
the empty honor of senatorial NOM
ination. John Cook is also said to
have his eye on the nomination for
Representative although it is probable
that he will be satisfied with the
nomination for another term as sup
ervisor.
Both Mike Collins and Frank Faul
are in training to run again for the
Offices of Auditor and Clerk for which
they were defeated at the last cleo
tion. Theo. Kuhl will not be can
didate for denomination, so it is un-
derstcod, although since the recent
decision in his suit against Chamber
lam and Bell, he may ask it again to
re-coup his losses. Meehan will be
a candidate for Sheriff but Hank
Cummings is said to be camping on
his trail with good show to win.
Mr.. Cummings has compromised sew
eral times before and may be pre-
vailed upon to do so this time how
ever.
There are reports that Collins and
Faul will not have smooth sailing for
their nominations and that other can
didates are in training, on the theory
that they have had enough, were de-
feated and should give someone else
show.
Shaw Van will get the nomination
for county attorney. He has been
the most persistent candidate for this
Office of any man in the history of
Crawford county, and 1T appears that
he is to be rewarded. On account of
his hostile attitude to different demo-
cratic candidates at the polls in times
past, however, he will not get the hearty
support of all democrats. We are
informed that Mr.. H. C. Schroeder
will not be candidate for supervisor.
He has been on the hoard a long
time and is said to have concluded
that he has had enough. This will
not be bad news to republicans as
Mr.. Schroeder is regarded as the
strongest member the democrats have
ON the board. Molter, Ahart and
Cook, providing he cannot get the
Representative place on the ticket,
will all be candidates for re-nomin-
alton Hoffman is slated for another
nomination as Superintendent. This
will give places for but few new men
on the ticket and three is apt to be

goes through as now arranged. Theo
Rohwer banker of Schleswig has hi:
eye on the treasurership and will be
nominated if Kuhl is not in the race.
AS to the minor offices very little
