Contests, With One Exception
at Least, Have Been Marked
by Good Feeling
REGISTRATION OF DEMOCRATS
Claim is Made That Many Democrats
Have Registered, and Challenging
May be Expected as a Result-Four
Offices in Which There is No oppo-
sltion-Tho Candidates.

With the republican primary less
than a week away the candidates arc
making every day count In the iina
windup OF their respective canvasscs
The campaign has been marked 70,

has so clean canvass been made
With one exception there has been bu
little attempt at mud singing" which

In the. race for the shrievalty, un-
fortunately. there has been more o;

dates against the present incumbent
who is Il candidate for denomination
as well as against his other opponent

have been clean to an extreme.

tive. A nicer or cleaner campaign ir
every way could not be imagined Than
that waged between Wallace ii. Arney
of Taylor township. and G. Franh
Stansberry, of Gilman. Whoever wins
will have the satisfaction of knowing
that he did It honestly, on his merits
alone, and without the aid of any UNI
demanded means or the casting OF
slurs against his opponent. The one
who loses will also realize that he did
nothing dishonorable. and that the
winner was the choice of the larger
number of voters.
In the canvass for the auditorshil
