There has been some talk OF
an independent candidate for
sheriff, but it seems to be re-
ceiving very little favor. The
anti-primary campaign was a
spirited one, but no questionable
methods were used, and every
nominee on the Republican ticket
is entitled to the full party vote.
No one was nominated on the
Democratic ticket, so that any
one wishing to run for county
Office will have to run as an in
dependent candidate. L. d.
Goodnough received the highest
mum Der of votes, but he did not
get the required number. The
law requires that candidates
must receive as many votes in
as many precincts as signatures
are required on Il nomination
paper. In accordance with the
vote cast at the Presidential
election 10 votes would be re-
quired in 4 precincts. Mr..
IGoodnough the candidate on the
Democratic ticket received 9
votes in three precincts.
The election of HI. o. Lien Of
Mason to the Office of County
Treasurer removes from politi-
Cal office John Froseth. present
County Treasurer who has been
resident of the court house for
nearly eighteen years. Mr..
Froseth Was slated for Deputy
had Charles Sowder been elect
ed. This was understood among
the friends Of both Mr.. Froseth
and Mr.. Sowder. During the
past eighteen years Mr.. Froseth
has held the Office of County
Clerk5 for II years, Deputy
County Treasurer 2 years, and
County Treasurer 4 years. Dur
ing that time he has seen the
county grow from few inhabit-
ants to county of nearly 20, 900.
The county Board which consist
ed of three members when he
first came into office is now COM
posed of % mem bers.
Lenroot's majority in this
county according to official
& cures is SO votes. Up to the
last week in the campaign Len
root enthusiasts in this city were
willing to stake their all on five
hundred majority for their favor
lite here in the county. The ag-
gressive work of the Jenkins
managers especially IN the lum.
boring towns was what cut down
the majority. The vote was 1895
for Lenroot to 982 for Jenkins.
About the same majority was
given Frank Hammil for Member
of Assem- bly,. The official figures
shows that Hammil received 845
and George S. Barnes 797. A
majority of 48 for Ham mil.
1t is evident that the Social
Democrats did not play in their own
ward at the recent primary. In the
Party's stronghold, Town of Bell,
onlv Social Democratic vote was
cast. 1t is further apparent that
number of converts were made in
the town of Oulu, during the past
two years. I3 votes were cast for
the straight ticket in that town. In
the General election two years ago
the state ticket of the party got 81
votes in this county. and the county
ticket 26 votes.
George. S. Barnes carried this
county by 81 majority over Frank
Hammil of Spooper. Mr.. Barnes

town, receiving "A out of possible
78 votes. Regardless of the fact
