POLITICAL POT POURRI.
= q + = = = + T. = . . =

The coming campaign in Douglas
county promises to be one of I'M
usual interest In years past, before
the division of the county, the repub-
licans have had little difficulty in
carrying the election in a general
way Since the division, however,
the republican majority has been cut
off, leaving Grant county strongly
republican and Douglas county close
ly divided.
The principal leader politically for
years has been A. L. Rogers, and
while Douglas county may be close
ly divided it is freely predicted that
he will continue to exert strong in
fluence in things political. A clash
is on right now between Rogers and
the residents of the north end of the
county. This is over the question
of the sale of the University lands
Rogers, who is member of the
board of regents of the University,
has advocated that these lands should
not be sold for less than $40 per
acre. There are in the north part
of the county $4,000 acres of these
lands and the residents there want
this land sold at low figure in Or
der that it may be developed. Whe-
Their this difference of opinion will
have an effect upon the political sit
uation the coming summer. it is now
too early to say.
Douglas Has 1900 Votes.
Douglas county has 1900 votes as
compared with 1000 in Grant county.
In the county there is large indie
pendent vote. AS a result it is prob
able that the county official lineup
will be pretty we'll speckled after
election.
Legislative Ticket.
John w. Hanna, who was elected
by the republicans in the special
election for the legislature, is said
to be considering the matter of be-
ing a candidate for the office of pros
ecuting attorney. Sam B Hill, dem
ocrat, on the other hand, who has
served for two terms as prosecuting
attorney, is said to be likely can
didate for the legislature.
J. D. Logan, who is finishing his
second term as sheriff of the county
may be candidate for the legisla-
ture on the republican side.
E. J. OLeary, of Wilson Creek, Is
completing his second term as coun-
ty clerk, and will lay aside public
