LOCAL CANDIDATES
GROWING IN NUMBER

of Attorney Porter Plumb, of Delta,
the race.
Attorney Thomas ]. Black, of
NIontrose. is frequently mentioned as
a probable candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination for the judgeship, !
but Judge Black stated some time |
ago that he was not in the race. !
County Judge NJ. l.. Brown, of Tellu- |
ride. is said to be a receptive can
didate.
Since it has been known that
County Judge Sullivan would not ask
for reelection the local county judge
ship has given promise of proving
the center of a lively contest.
There are several local attorneys
grooming themselves for the county
iudgship. On the republican side 1t
is known that County Attorney J. f.
Halderman, Attorney F. Barnard
Welsh and Attorney l.. w. Burgess
have well-defined aspirations con-
cerning this office Attorney George
w. Bullock has many socialist breth-
rem and many friends outside of that
party who would like to see him get
into the race On the democratic
side we hear the names of Judge
Samuel y. Berry and Attorney Henry
r. Rhone frequently mentioned as
splendid county iudgeship material.
but neither of these gentlemen has
indicated desire to get into the
race.
If Charles Schrader. the present
sheriff of Mesa county, will simply
make known his willingness to ac-
cept a denomination, The Sentinel
believes that his selection as the
democratic nominee for that office
will be a certainty. Mr., Schrader has
proven one of the most popular
sheriffs any county in Colorado ever
had, and his strength is confined to
no one political party.
r. N. Bancroft, one of the best
known residents of the Pallsade
section. will probably seek the dem
ocratic nomination for county sheriff
and if Sheriff Schrader does not
seek reelection. Mr.. Bancroft will
prove an exceeding strong and an
immensely popular candidate.
William G. Struthers. former sher-
iff and pioneer citizen, is known to
be a candidate for the republican
nomination for sheriff, and his can
didacy is very popular. John II. Her
ron, well known dairyman and
ranchman. is said to be a candidate
and he has a strong backing. John
Miller. of Clifton, is in the race for
the republican nomination.
Benton Canon, present county
treasurer. win be renominated by the
democrats without any opposition. On
the republican side l.. c. Worthington
and Eugene Smith are mentioned. 1t
is known that Worthington is an ac-
tive candidate.
John T. Brown the present as
SCISSOR, will beyond doubt be renomi-
mated by the republicans. We have
not heard of any democratic candid
ates for this office up TO this time.
1t is said that S. b. Hutchinson will
1 probably make the race again as the
socialist candidate.
There is going TO be warm fight
over the county commissionerships,
| probably the warmest of the cam
paign. There certainly is a suffi-
cheney of candidates. In the Fruita,
or west end district among the prob
able candidates for the democratic
nomination are John B. Gavin, Ed
| Weckel DR.. S. p. Green, Dan w.
Lynch and Albert Bessire. the pres
ent commissioner from that district.
Ben j. Snyder, the well known rail
road man of this city. is said to be
candidate for the republican nom
| ination in this district.
| In the Plateau and east end dis
| trict william Porter and ]. p. Bald
ridge are democratic probabilities,
while Thomas ]. Dwyer. the present
commissioner, will probably be re-
nominated by the republicans.
| With Superintendent Sargent out of
&, the race for reelection, the county
| superintendency of schools will be
| II,
| Gigax. one of the best known in
| structors in the county. is an an
nounced candidate for the democrat
ic nomination. 1t is reported that
IL. B. Mcclure and Hugh Weber
will seek the republican nomination.
A. G.. Newton, present member of
| the legislature from this county, is
candidate for reelection, and will
get the republican nomination with
| out any trouble No democratic can
didates are in the field up to this
| time.
! movement is under way among
many local democrats to urge Miss
| A. Eugenia Kelly, one of the most
| popular young ladies of the city and
who was signally honored at the last
democratic state convention by being
elected as an alternate delegate to
| the great national convention, to
make the race for county clerk and
| recorder.
Miss Kelly's popularity and her
splendid qualifications as a young
business woman would make her an
ideal candidate, and If she could be
| induced 10 enter the lists she would
| make a great race.
Charles Jones, present county
| clerk, will probably be renominated
| by the republicans.
| Naturally. there is little interest in
i the races for county surveyor and
| coroner.
Probably within the next 80 DAYS
| there will be numerous other can
| didates in the field for the many
| offices. There is no danger of
