be an unprecedented dearth of candi-
dates for office in Franklin county. G..
d. Williams seems to be the only can
ddate for county treasurer to- sue
coed Treasurer S. Fl. Mendell. AS
Auditor Luke, Sheriff Jernegan and
Recorder Lane are serving their f1rst
terms. the indications are that these
officials will be given endorsement for
second terms in their respective posi-
tons The principal interest seems to
center in the nomination for represen-
tative, as Hon. d. w. Dow announces
that he will not be a candidate for re-
election. Among those mentioned In
connection with the office so ably filled
by Mr. Dow, are T. j. B. Robinson,
Geo. r. Miner, B. III. Mallory and Will
liam Savidge.
1T is said that Franklin county may
have candidate for state senator
from the district now represented by
Senator A. H. Gale of Mason City. The
district comprises the counties Of Ger
no Gordo, Hancock and Franklin.
