Candidates for Auditor.
D. n Gellatly is the republican
candidate while Homer H. Grant is
the candidate on the democratic
ticket for county auditor. Both are
young men and both have had ex-
perience in the auditors office. Mr..

Candidates for County Treasurer.
1t is generally conceded that the
closest race on the county ticket will
be between S. F. Gilman, the repub-
lican candidate, and c. a. Battles,
the democratic candidate and pres
ent incumbent of the treaSurer's Of
fee Mr.. Gilman has been a resident
of the city for the past six years, and

his interests there, Mr.. Gilman has
devoted his time to investments and
the care of his orchard tract near

man, good accountant, and is making
a campaign on the promise to run the

have a hard man to beat in G. A.
Battles, who has made an enviable
record in the conduct Of the Office.
He has handled vast sums of money
and in the four counties in central
Washington, the records given out by
the state bureau of accountancy
place the cost of collections of coun-
ty taxes at less rate for each 500
collected here than in any other
county in the district.

Commissioner for First District.

ty. will have a progressive board of
county commissioners, board
pledged to road building. Both E.
M. Gillette, of Malaga, the republi-
can candidate, and o. B. Fuller, of
Wenatchee, democratic candidate,
are making their campaigns on the

commissioner T. w. Cowan, the
