If he is not candidate for county
clerk. Mr.. Carter, the present superin-
denomination. He has had the Office
for two terms and is willing to relin-
quish It.
Captain Clad Hamilton has been
hustling for some time at the solicita-
ton of friends for the nomination for
state senator, it being generally under
stood that Senator Belts, the present
Wearer or the toga, will not have the
nerve to ask for a denomination. w.
A S. Bird, the present representative
from the Thirty-eighth district, which
is known as the city district, is also a
candidate for the senatorial nomina-
ton. B. F. Pankey was a candidate
but has Withdrawn from the race.
M. A. Hutchinson of Menoken town
ship is a candidate for denomination
for the house of representatives from
the Thirty-seventh district, which is
known as the north one in the county.
David Page, of North Topeka, a son of
Thomas Page, the prominent miller,
has entered the lists against Mr..
Hutchinson.
For Mr.. Birds place as representa-
tive from the Thirty-eighth district,
known as the city district, Major A.
Boone has also been talked of as a
possibility.
Robert Stone will be a candidate foR
denomination for representative from
the Thirty-ninth district. which is
known as the south district. The un-
derstanding is that he, in the event of
his election, will also be a candidate
for speaker of the mouse of repre-
sentatives. There will likely be no op-
position to the denomination of Mr.
Stone. At one time Otis E. Hungate
was talked of as a possible candidate
against Mr.. Stone but Mr.. Hungate
would have nothing to do with such a
proposition.
Nominations will be in order for but
two of the county commissionerships
missioner from the north district hold
ing over. Frank W. Harrison is a can
didate for denomination for the COM
from the south district
He is now serving his second term on
the board. There are no less than seven
avowed candidates to contest with him
for the nomination. They include Jas.
c. Sinner, former city councilman from
the Fifth ward, E. NJ. Cockrell, of the
Sixth ward and a former clerk of the
district court, Frank Holford, of To-
peka township and living just south IF
the city; Peter Eberhardt of Monmouth
township; George K. Bunce of Tecum-
sch; ]. e. Maus of Auburn township,
and George Chrisman of Mission town
ship. 4
William E. Sterne will likely be a
candidate for renominat ton for the COM
from the middle, or city
district. Edwin L. O'Neil, at present |
he clerk of the court of Topeka, has
his candidacy for this nomi- |
nation. James Chappelle, proprietor of |
he Copeland hotel, is a tentative can
lidate. He will make the race in the |
went that Mr.. Sterne does not seek
denomination. Mr.. O'Neil is in the
ace whether Mr.. Sterne runs again OF |
lot. |
And last but by no means least. A. |
". Dana, judge of the district court |
will be a candidate for denomination |
o that office. No one else will think |
or minute of entering the field |
against Judge Dana. His services on /
he bench are held in the highest re-
ard by the practicing lawyers in the |
district and by the suitors who get into
curt. 1t is likely that the Democrats
will not put any candidate in the field
gainst Judge Dana and his reelection
ext fall will probably be unanimous.
