now well overcome, and sufficient
material of acceptable worth is
available to he voted into the
various county jobs.
The office of sheriff is sought
by Geo W. krause, who now
holds the position under appoint

OF that part of the country in

he showed himself whole man,
sternly set on doing his duty by

sheriff he is evincing a thorough
ness and zeal that speak highly
for him. He is popular with the
rank and file, though a man of
few words, and whoever should
enter candidacy for sheriff in op-
position - although that is not
likely will have an uphill road
to travel.
Walter F. Kelley, now county
auditor, is again candidate for
the same office, and if ever the

county officials, it fits in Mr..
kelley,s case. He also is the
only ca ldidate thus far for that

of continuing SO. 1t is generally
admitted that he is the official
successor to himself, a well con-

plainly for him.
