CANDIDATES ARE BUSY
Last Ten Days Before the Pri-
mary Finds May Petitions
in Circulation
ONLY FIGHT IS ON SHERIFF
Democrats and Republicans Both to
Have a Contest for This Office
But Other Candidates
Have Clear Sailing
(From Tuesdays Daily.l

With but ten days left in which to
! file petitions for candidates to be voted
on at the coming primary election to be
held on September LIST, the politicians
of the county are hard at work to- Sc
cure petitions for the nomination Of
| their fayorite candidates and it is
pretty certain that all Of the petitions
viii be on file with the city clerk by
the first Of next week. The primary
election promises to be an exceedingly
tame one with the exception of the con-
| test for sheriff. There does not. seem
/ to be any opposition in sight for any
other office on any Of the tickets that
will be submitted to the voters. The
Social Democratic party will be the
first to file full batch of nominations,
but there will be but one candidate
! for each Office. The Democrats are
having hard time to fill up the ticket
| for all the Offices and it is certain that
the place of County Surveyor Will be
left blank and it is possible that the
party will have no nominee for the
office of district attorney.
| The Republican party will have a
full ticket in the field. The candidates
| with the exception of the men seeking
| the nomination for sheriff will not have
to worry over the primary as there will
. be no fight made on them. It is stated
that it is possible that there will be
two candidates for the office of coroner
| IN the field, but this is very improbable.
| DR.. Frank b. Andre has taken out his
/ papers and they will be filed within
a few days. It was thought possible
that DR.. George E. Thompson might
be brought out as a Republican candi-
date, but DIR. Thompson declares that
/ he has always been Democrat and
| that he is the Democratic candidate for
the Office.
At the opening of the primary cam
paign it looked as if there would be a
great fight for the Republican nominal
ton for sheriff, but one by one the
proposed candidates have quit the field
until at the present time, but three
candidates remain. George Villnow
and Henry Timme who were regarded
as strong aspirants for the nomination
/! have announced to their friends that
| they will not take out petitions and at
/! present the three candidates are Will
J liam Gunter Of Bristol, Michael Kleist
+, OF Kenosha and Henry Biehn of Paris.
| There have been lots of suggestions for
| other candidates, but it is not expected
that any of them will materialize into
candidates coming into the field. The
candidates are all hard at work now
and all Of them have filed their petit
TONS 1t is understood that there will
| be big fight for the nomination and
| the candidates are all working in the
county. 1t is generally conceded that
the man who can get the support in the
| city will get the nomination and the
candidates are all planning to give the
last month Of the campaign to the city.
| Anderson and Schilz are making a
/ hard fight for the Democratic nomina-
ton, but it is said that Schilz will have
the support Of the party organization
and this is counted on to give him con
siderable strength. Anderson, however.
IS nothing Of a gutter and he is going
after the nomination just as if he were
assured the support of every member
Of the party.
