Political Talk Of the Street

up sufficiently that anyone has definitely
announced his candidacy for this or that
Office but rumor connects the names Of
many well-known persons with certain
Offices in way that is fast taking definite
shape. This condition applies particular
ly to Silver and obtains with more or
less force all over the county. We have
been informed, though we cannot vonch
for the truth and veracity Of the state
ment, that the folks at Wilson and Enter
prise have concluded to put complete
ticket in the field from that vicinity for
choice at the primaries. We have heard
from two other sections OF the county
with the same statement, SO that it is
apparent that there will be plenty Of
material from which to make choice at
the primaries, as there is no lack Of good
citizens who are willing to immediate
themselves at the altar Of the county's
veal providing good fat salary is at
tached 70 the immolation.
Probably the Office in which there has
been the least talk, locally, at any rate,
is that Of Commissioner. Lutte Gardner
is credited with aspirations in this direc-
tion and it is generally believed that
Chas Crete and Rube Clifford would con
sent to another term from the first and
second districts, respectively, both are
republicans and if nominated would run
on their records. For the third district
Mr.. Turner Of Bruneauis in the lime
light.
This condition does not apply to the
Office Of sheriff, however. No dearth Of
candidates here. Oscar Brunzell doesn't
want it, hut there are othersl Those
most talked Of are l. 0. Hanson and
Simon Harris, republicans, and Messrs.
Mike Rock, Kenneth Mcleod, Chas.
Rogers, Dave O'Keefe, and Elisha Lewis,
Of Silver City and T. D. Fry Of DeLamar,
the latter six being democrats. Can
didales for sheriff are numerous all over
the county, we understand, although no
other names have reached us at the
present writing.
For Probate Judge the present incum-
bent, Frank Heer, will run again on the
Democratic ticket and while Dicky will
not confirm the rumor, it is believed
that Dicky Hawes will enter the race fol
the republicans. Friends Of Charlie
Winchester have been connecting his
name with this office. too, but possibly
without serious intention. "Iudge'
would suit him alright for first name
they say.
For assessor, The Republicans will
probably renominate Bert Townsend
and Deputy Clerk Dickens has been
named on the Democratic side and also
Bass Deary Of Pleasant Valley.
The office of treasurer isliable to even
: tuate in a pretty scrap. Miss Cavaney
will probably try for the nomination
J again and Della Schuyler has been
! mentioned as has Cnas. NJ. Caldwell, all
on the democratic ticket. Mrs Wey-
mouth OF Enterprise has been mentioned
as a republican candidate and Others
around the county are willing to sacrifice
themselves. If the new amendment be-
comes law that requires the treasurer tc
collect all taxes as we'll as act as public
administrator, the work viii be pretty
r heavy for woman and may result il
the selection of a man for the place.
For School Superintendent the neces
sary qualifications reduce the number o
candidates. 1t is expected that Mrs
i Avery will run again and Prof. BradfelC
has been talked Of, both on the re
publican ticket Mrs. Shea has not in
timated her intentions, but is eligible
She would run on the Democratic ticket
z The prosecuting attorneys office il

t enter the race for State Senator on thl
Democratic ticket, there would be bu
