LOCAL CANDIDATES
However, only Few Have as Yet Threw Their
Hats Into the Ring Names Of Some Who
May Get Into the Race Later.

- ~ OeAAS' -
Spongberg, Nose Lewis and J. II.
DEMO are also mentioned.
With the democrats Mr.. Cruik-
shank would no doubt make the
effort again if he does not run for
senator; George b. Spencer and
John Miller are also spoken Of.
For sheriff on the republican
ticket there promises to be quite
crop of aspirants. Already the
friends of Chris Olsen, John Matt
son and others are busy looking
over the situation. John Jones
has many supporters also, and we
understand that a number of others
will shy their hats into the ring
soon.
For the democratic nomination
we have heard the names of Bert
Robson, William Stoddard and
IL. Ii. Dalrymple mentioned, and
we understand that Sheriff Rich has
already announced his candidacy
for reflection, 80 the fight promises
to be quite interesting in the ranks
of the unterrified for that Office.
Like the republicans there is a good
prospect that two or three more
will come out into the open during
the coming few days.
For assessor Oliver Dnnford will
probably be candidate to succeed
himself, but so far we have not
heard of any others on the republi-
can ticket. For the democrats the
Examiner learns that Amasa Rich
may get into the race for assessor,
but if there are any others we have
not heard them mentioned.
For treasurer it is probable that
]. II. Stocker, the present incum-
bent, will have no opposition from
his republican friends, and this will
probably apply to Superintendent
Hart. With the democrats no one
has said anything yet about these
offices, but it is believed that there
will be one or two who will an
nounce themselves this week.
For prosecuting attorney, Mr..
Higgins will be a candidate to sue
ceed himself, and the friends of
D. M. Austin will run him, wheth-
er Fay says so or not. Among the
democratic attorneys there are none
now who will agree to ask for the
nomination, and 1t is just possible
that the office may be left for the
republican aspirants to fight for
alone.
The offices of coroner and sur
veyor will no doubt so far as the
republicans are concerned go to the
present holders, and the democrats
will in due time select some one to
oppose these
For commissioner the republi
cans will have in the first distric
Mr.. Linford, the present occupan,
of the office, and it is said that ther'
will be at least one more who vii
make the effort at the primaries fo
the nomination. ln the secont
district Commissioner Hymas vii
run again it is said and an effort j
being made to get Arthur Bulge u
enter and also VIII Young of Par
is. In the third it is thought tina
Tom Mumford would have supper
, and also Henry Whitman, w. w
Clark, Duncan McLennan and Je
, Merrill, should any of these permi
their names to be used. None ar
candidates for the Office, but the
: have been mentioned as being goo
o material for the place.
q For the democrats, it is nc
known who can be induced to ru
from the first district, though MI
J Taylor might be coaxed into NAL
ing the race again. Ed Haddoc
|, and Bishop Findlay are also talke
= of. In the second many woul
like to see Tracy Shepherd on II
'e board and also Orson Pendry or .
It T. Peterson. Whether any of the
Ne will run remains to be seen.
= the Third district, no one has y
been much talked of, but if L
Rich, John Brennan or John Dow
ie ing could be inveigled into golI
ID before the primaries no doubt whi'
as ever one did would cop the nomin
70 tion.
Now as we said before there a
- others who will want to get in
III the limelight for Office, but tn
ed have not mentioned it either to
ay or where we could hear of the
|, desires so we must not be blam
>, lif we have overlooked anyoI
Az Any time we hear of any prosp'
er tive nominees we will certain
Ot mention the fact, whether reput
can, democrat or socialist, so do
be afraid to let your light shil
M Remember your name must be fi
ed by June soth in order to get OIL
an the primary ballot.
