ME says that IL bodies had been re-
covered from the ruins. Fears are
expressed for the safety OF hundred

For the offices of Sheriff and Auditor
For the Offices of Sheriff and Auditor
on the Republican Ticket Nom
nations May Not be
Made in Primary.

The primary campaign ends to-
night. Tomorrow the different politi-
cal parties will select whom they
shall have as their candidates for the
various Offices in township, county
and state.
The campaign in Wapello county
mas been a strenuous one, especially
among the Republicans, who have
contests for every Office on the ticket.
The Democrats are more united on
their candidates, being mostly those
who are now in power at the court
house, but nevertheless there are con-
tests for the offices of county attor-
ney, superintendent of schools and
for recorder.
Five for Sheriff.
On the Republican ticket five can
didates for sheriff ask for nominations
at the primaries tomorrow. AT least
four and maybe all of them
will be disappointed after the
returns are counted as it
Is more than likely that there
Will be no nominations unless the vot-
ers unite pretty generally on one or
two candidates, which 1t seems will
not be possible To nominate it re.
quires 35 per cent of the votes of the
party cast. In case there is no nom
nation the county convention which
is called for June q, the delegates to
which will be named at the primary
election tomorrow, will make the
nomination.
Four Want Authorship.
For the office of auditor there are
also four candidates and there may
be no nomination there either. Three
candidates are out for the offices OF
recorder and county attorney, and
while it is possible that there may
be no nomination in this instance, II
Is not probable.
Following is a complete list of the
Republican, Democratic and Socialist
candidates:
The polls are open from q. m. to

required and in all other precincts
