Long Versus Wise.
Carlos Long is making headway in
his candidacy for Sheriff, although
Wise s lead is recognized as a long one
to pull down. Wise had the field so

the party to swallow him and they have
been trying to reconcile themselves to
the dose, liking neither the swallow
nor the prospect of seeing the office
fall again to the Democrats because
of the unftpess of their candidate.
Long rs advent into the field and the
last-hour consent of A. P. Taylor to
allow his name to be used in the con-
vention have been hailed with satisfac,
tion in some precincts therefore and
one club, that in the Eighth of the
Fourth, last night voted to give Long
the unit support of their twelve dele
gates.
Long is equally eligible for county
attorney or sheriff and his friends will
try to place him in one of the places
in preference to Cathcart or Wise.

Long was a st. Louis man and Lane
was a st. Louis man, and few other
of the candidates are st. Louis men.
while Wise was the only Kan out for
a county office and he was being OPP
posed. Word of this was carried to
the lane camp, and it is supposed that
this is the reason why Kuhio was cred
tied with the statement that Long had
from the running against
Wise, a report that Long promptly de-

Won Holt as Treasurer.
For the treasurership there was a
