A CAUCUS OF

MANY LOOKING FOR a CHANCE

If all those who attended the meet

enter the field for Office there will
'be some lively scraping before the
sixth day of August. And by the way
there are some fine looking men in
the bunch.
Sherim Garret made one of those
old-timr speeches. He cant say over
score or two of words but those
words count. At least that's what the
boys say.

didatc tor state senator was there,
but he said he was only a prospective
candidate Guy Sigler objected to re-
quirin- members to state what Off @
they wanted to run for as he said
he Was looking for an opening Th"
county iudge's office might look good
or the county attorneys office might
look De.ter to this worthy young dem
ocrat and he naturally wants to place
his money on the color that is most
likely TO win.

he rolled up his sleeves and entered

l.. c. Shelton was there too. Mr.
Shelton is the judge of the corpora
tion court and it was not generally
known that he was thinking of leav-
ing the berth he has However he
said he was like some others, looking
for an opening. But there were al
st two score of persons present
and space forbids the mention of all
OF them The meeting was held to
effect agreements whereby the candi-
dates would stay out of an active
race until the 18th of June. This
was agreed on but the agreement left
it open for the candidates TO place
their announcements before the peo-
pie when they are ready to do so.
Before the end of the week there
promises to be quite a number who
will lie openly announced for office
although the scarcity of feed stuff
thrueh the country will cause them
to refrain from an active campaign
