aware IOF several WcchS tAae "a OoShs
representative, R. F. Holm, would
not again be candidate, yet the
fact that he did not file for re-elec-
ton has occasioned a great deal of
surprise in the county generally.
Some two or three weeks ago Mr..
Holm announced that he would
again be a candidate and at the
proper time would file his declara-
ton, but business matters have come
up within the past two weeks which
will take all of his time for the COM
ing month and he feels that he could
not give the time for the canvass.
Tom BolIman Gets Busy.
Tom Bollman, who has always
been thought to dominate the poll
tics of the Cashmere precinct, is
again in the limelight. Judge Jas.
H. Chase made one of the first filings
announcing himself as a candidate
for the legislature. In a letter to
the public last week, Mr.. Chase with
drew his candidacy and announced
that he would be supporter OF
Thomas H. Atkinson, who filed on
Friday.
Saturday morning Auditor God
frey received the proper withdrawal
from Judge Chase, but on Saturday
evening Mr.. Bollman came down
from Cashmere and served notice
on the auditor that the withdrawal
of Judge Chase should not be con-
sidered and insisted that his name
should appear on the legal ballot.
This forenoon County Attorney
Kemp was asked to pass on the ques-
ton of the legal rights OF Judge
Chase's name to appear on the pri-
mary ballot His ruling was to the
effect that inasmuch as Judge Chase
had filed his withdrawal, in Or
der to again appear on the ballot 1t
would be necessary for him
to again file his declaration of can
didacy accompanied by the filing fee
of SO. Mr.. Bollman threatens to
take the matter into the courts and
mandamus the auditor to print
Judge Chase's name on the ballot.
Mr.. Bollman is the sole standpat-
ter of the Cashmere precinct and 1t
looks very peculiar that he should
be so much interested in the candi-
dacy of insurgent Judge Chase. His
contention is that Judge Chase was
induced to withdraw by reason of
Misrepresentation.
The committee which waited on
Judge Chase and secured his with
drawal state that nothing improper
was said nor done in order to induce
him to withdraw from the race in
favor of Mr. Atkinson, but put it up
to him plainly that it was consider
ed that Mr.. Atkinson would make
the stronger race.
Late Filings Made.
Late Saturday evening filings
were made by S. F. Gilman for treas
urer, Fred Reeves for attorney and
Edgar C. Booth for justice of the
peace of Leavenworth precinct. Geo.
P. Rice wrote to County Auditor
Godfrey declaring his candidacy for
Justice of the peace of Leavenworth
precinct but no party utilization was
given, consequently his name will
not placed on the ticket.
Ferguson Has No Opposition.
Sheriff J. E. Ferguson is one of
the most jubilant men in the county.
He has no opposition either in his
own party or in the democratic par
ty. w. S. Simmons had intended to
file Saturday morning, but his
friends induced him not to make the
race. Mr.. Ferguson feels very CRATE
full for the appreciation shown by
both his republican and democratic
frlenQS through the county.
