away, candidates for the various
lefty. county, state and national Of
ficers are springing up daily in To-
nopah. But half the number that
will eventually appear before the
people at the primaries have made
their announcements as yet and
hardly day passes that some new
prospective office holder comes into
the field with his declaration.
To date but two offices are with
out aspirants, but as the compensa-
tion is nothing, it is not to be won-
dered that there is a dearth OF seek
ers for the positions. The county
surveyor and public administrators
offices are the two in question. A.
| II. keenan, is the present admins
traitor and has made no announce
ment as TO his future in the politi-
cal world. The county surveyors
office is practically obsolete as the
compensation Is far from sufficient
to pay the expenses of being placed
on the primary ballot
Judge j. A. Sanders. the pres
ent district attorney. It is announc-
ed. will be the choice of the demo-
cratic party for reelection. He will

by II. H. Atkinson, justice of the
peace. While heretofore there have
been numerous candidates for this
office, but tie two above mentioned

Puddy Grimes, auditor and re-
eorder since the county seat was

be without opposition from the re-
publican ranks. Charles Humph-

i r. H. Dalzell. secretary Of the
Miners union, is being urged to
declare his candidacy on the repub-
lican ticket for the county treasure
