POLITICIANS SEEK SIGNERS
Many Papers Are Sent Out During the
Day and Others Are Expected to be
in Circulation This Week-Powell for
Clerk of the Circuit Court.

James E. Tully, clerk of the munich
pal court broke into the political arena
this morning when he took out nomina-
tion papers for the democratic nomina-
tlon for the office of district attorney
The petitions are being circulated in
all parts of the county. Attorney Tully
is probably the strongest candidate for
the Office to be found in the ranks of
the democratic party He was gradual
ed from Marquette University two years
ago and successfully passed the Wis
consln bar examinations. He has been
clerk of the municipal court since it
was established and in this capacity
has become known to many of the peo-
pie of the city and county. It is under
stood that he will have no opposition
in his own party Alfred L Drury, the
present district attorney, has taken out
petitions as candidate for re-nomina-
ton and as yet no one has appeared to
oppose him for the nomination.
Politics and politicians are causing a
lot of excitement in the county this
week and the candidates for office are
making a hard effort to pail the atten-
ton of the farmers from the buster hay
crop and get them interested in the
coming primary There is a month yet
in which to file petitions, but the can
didates are all busy.
The democracy is showing a united
spirit in circulation of petitions, but
it is certain that there will be some hot
fights in the party. Joseph Toelle Of
New Munster, is said to be candi-
date for the Office Of member of the
assembly and petitions for his nominal
ton are ready for circulation.
John F. Langan, former proprietor of
the New Park Hotel, has formally
opened his campaign for the office of
county clerk and George E. Mahoney is
said to be planning to make try for
the office Of county treasurer this year.
Philip Hartman, Jr, who has been a
most acceptable treasurer during the
past two years, has taken out petitions
for denomination. 1t is not thought
that he will have any opposition for
the nomination and if service to the
county is taken into consideration he
will get a big majority at the election.
There is going to be a fight for the
nomination for clerk of the circuit
court on the republican ticket. Carl f.
Starr has his papers in circulation and
this morning Raymond Powell of Bris-
tol, member Of the county board of
education, announced his intention Of
entering the field for this office. Mr..
Powell will have his petitions in circula-
ton within the next few days.
It is reported that E. D. Dunning, one
of the prominent farmers of the town
of Bristol, is being groomed to make
the race for the republican nomination
for member Of the assembly and it is
possible that the republicans will have
several other candidates. However,
these men are fighting shy of making
any formal announcements until after
the present assemblyman makes some
statement of this plans. 1t is pretty GER
tain that if Assemblyman Pfennig seeks
a denomination that he will have no
opposition for the office The Office of
surveyor is not going begging this year
and already William 0 'Brien, the pres
emit surveyor, has taken out petitions
as candidate for reelection
County Clerk Jones gave out the
formal notice Of the primary election
today and it will have its first official
publication on Thursday.
