Eighteen Republican Candidates
File Petitions for Nine
County Offices
ANDRE LAST TO ENTER RACE
Most Petitions Filed HaveDnly Small
Number of Names Over An,o'int
Demanded by Law and Canai-
dates Conceal Strength

The primary battle is on IN earnest
today as the time allowed and limited
for the filing Of petitions of candi-1
dates was up at midnight Saturday
and the decks are now Cleared Tor
action and the rival seekers for non1i-
nations are plugging for votes.
With the fling of the>1ast petitions
it is announced that there are Il ke-
publicans struggling for 9 county
offices. Assemb1ynan Walker NJ
Curtiss, Clerk of the Circuit Court
Frank Waldo and County Surveyor
Alvin Fl. Blood will be renominated
without opposition but all other Off
Gals will be forced to fight for place
on the ticket. 81
It was thought that DR.. FL. A. Robin
son would have no opposition for the
office Of coroner on the Republican
ticket but Just an hour and half be-
fore the office of the clerk closed at
midnight Saturday DR.. F. e. Andre
filed petitions as candidate for the
Republican nomination for coroner.
The petitions of Dr.. Andre were the
only surprise of the closing hours OF
the campaign. It had been rumored
several days ago that the doctor
would be a candidate for the nominal
ton but he had gone to Powers Lake
and had taken his petitions with him.
One Of his friends secured a horse
and buggy and drove all the way to
Powers Lake and back to bring IN the
petitions.
There is no opposition to any Of the
candidates for Office on the Demo
cratic, Social Democratic or Prohibi-
ton tickets. The Democrats have no
candidates for the offices Of district
attorney and surveyor and the latter
office is left vacant by the Social
Democrats. The only Prohibition
candidate seeks nomination for the
office Of member of the assembly.
The petitions of the various ottlce
seekers vary little in form and all
have between 100 and 200 names. The
candidates evidently decided to con-
cea1 what strength might be shown
by the petitions and to this end only
filed petitions with a suffi cient num-
Der of names to insure them a place
on the primary ballot. The full list
of candidates to be voted on at the
primary is as follows:
