UNRAvELING THE MYSTERY.

Associated Press.
Chicago, May l3.-The efforts to
establish the identity of the owner Of
the suitcase which was discovered
near the house in Los Angeles where
the body of the young Chicago wom-
an was found murdered came to TO
Gus here today.
A note reading: "The finder may
have this and | am going straight to
eternity.-Thomas c. Butt" was
found with the suitcase.
Persons here bearing the same sur
name declare that the person de-
scribed as having been seen with the
suitcase resembled Thomas b. Butt,
a G. A. r. veteran, who they said,
left his ranch at Nampa, Ida, May /,
to live at the National Soldiers Home
near Los Angeles.
The daily sentinel., 1912-05-13

election is held, and this probably
will be done.
The list of gubernatorial candid
.ates TO date is almost as large as that
for congress. and probably will be
before many moons. The names of
some of the best and staunchest
democrats in the state have been
coupled with this position-men
whose democracy is above question
even from the enemy. The list as
furnished shows the following as
pirants: Senator John J. Tobin of
Montrose, Judge Samuel n. Wheeler
of Grand Junction, Senator Thomas
J. Erhart of Chafee county, Senator
w. l.. Clayborn of Weld county, SEN
ator L. A. Van Tilborg of Teller
county, Senator +. NJ Ammons of
Grand county and DR.. B. l. efferson
of Routt county. Besides these, the
name of Senator Billy Adams has
also been connected with the gu
bernatorial prospectives, but wheth-
er the Conejos senator cares to en-
ter the fight is not known.
For the other state officers there
has been few mentioned thus far.
That is, authoritatively. However, it
can be taken as practically certain
that George McLachlan. speaker of
the house of representatives. will be
candidate for state auditor, and
it is said here that he will have back
ing that is hard TO discount. Charles
II. Leckenby, one of the editors of
the Steamboat Springs Pilot, and
chief clerk in the senate of the last
general assembly, will make a fight
for the authorship nomination at
rho pnAh1a 81 l.. al
so has good following and is con-
sidered a strong candidate. There
also is a report current that State
Treasurer Road Kenehan will try for
the place.
State Auditor NJ. A. Leddy, who
possibly has more real, genuine po-
litlcal friends throughout the state
than any public official in Colorado
today, will undoubtedly be a candid
ate for state treasurer His friends
here say that Mr. Leddy can have
the place practically for the asking.
He is good sound business man
with unerring Judgment and would
make one of the best treasurer the
state has ever had.
There will be one vacancy to fill on
the state supreme court bench-that
of Judge John Campbell of Colorado
Springs, whose term will have expir-
ed. The ony aspirant thus far spo-
ken of is Judge Henry A. Hicks of
Denver. The judgeship is for 10
years.
Besides the offices already men,
toned there are many others to be
filled at the coming election.
Judges are to be elected in 3 ju-
dicial districts. and a district attor-
ney in each of these districts.
OF the thirty-five senators in the
Colorado Legislature there are is to
be elected at this fall election. There
are IL hold-overs and of this num-
Der 10 are Democrats and seven re-
publicans. OF the is senators whose
term of office has expired. IL were
democrats and six republicans. The
democrats have only to elect eight
new senators 10 control the upper
house of the coming general assem-
bly,.
The political complexion of the
house of the 18th general assembly
was 40 democrats and % republi-
cans.
