in the church Republican convention
| today. His only adversary is h, O.
Leatherwood and, as Mr.. Leatherwood

sons victory ls the answer,
The name of C. Frank Emery. pres
ent Sheriff. appears among the list of
| asplrapts for the nomination for
Sheriff at the hands of the church Re-
publican county convention today,
Emery is the Smoot candidate for the
place and, although he would be a
third-term nominee, il would not be
surprising if he. should win.
Major II, ?. Myton, whose name has
been frequently mentioned In connec-
tion with the Shrievalty nominal tion,
on the church Republican ticket, has
announced that he is not an aspirant
for the place.
Briant s. Young, that eminent young
machinist, whose principal work at

place, it is thought by his friends, has
a cinch upon a nomination for the
