|
| Below is printed in full list of candi-
| dates for county Offices to be voted for
at the approaching primary elections.
| The last day and hour for filing notice
| of candidacy expired last Saturday even
| ing at 5 O'Clock. Miss Daisy Busby sent
| Auditor Duncan telegram from Seattle
wishing to be placed on the republican
ticket for superintendent OF schools, but
the telegram was not received in CoIfax
until $40 a. m. Sunday-tOO late for
| filing. Miss Busby's home Is at Rosalia
| She is q graduate of the Washington
State College, and is highly spoken OF by
| those acquainted with her Mr. Mattoon
will probably go in with opposition.
The statement sent out that "by rea.
son of the democrats overlooking bet,
| the desire OF many people in the county
| is attained and the office of county su-
perintendent of schools is taken out of
san, like that OF superior jadge," is con-
tradcted by this statement in the same
paragraph: 81. 0. Mattoon, present
deputy superintendent, has no opposition
for the republican nomination and as no
one he's filed a preemption on the job
for the democrats, he is absolutely GER
tain of election"
The reason the democrats did not file
candidate for the office was because
they could find no one willing to be sac
riiced. Miss Josephine Hoeppner was
strongly urged to allow her name to be
used. Likewise R. E. McCann OF Tekoa,
f. W. Cobb OF Garfield and A. E. Bensel
of Palouse. The democrats are entitled
to no credit for the Office being non
partisan, ii such is the case. Below are
