plications, both international and in

diplomats and members of both
Mexican factions here believe.
The United States government is
exerting every diplomatic influence
toward harmonizing discordant ele-
ments, but certain aspects are ad-
mitedly grave. Official reports re-
veal that the most threatening factor
is the aloofness of General villa
from the authority Of General Car

that General Carranza, according t.
his agents here, is declined to grant
an amnesty to political offender

candidates have cast their hats in
the ring for representatives.
James Dunford. who has been con-
sidered as a probable candidate for
auditor, has decided that he can
make more money ranching and
writing life insurance on the side,
and will not dabble in politics this
year. The contest for the nomina-
alton for this office will therefore
probably be between H. H. Broom
head, the present incumbent, Milton
Floyd and Martin Winters.
1t looks now as though there
would be a three cornered fight for
the nomination for sheriff, as John
Bateman of Bloomington, has stated
that he intends to get into the race.
The other two candidates are Chris
Olsen and Ernest Hymas.
Oscar Parker of Lanark, has de-
cided that he would like the job OF
collecting taxes for the next two
years, and will file his nomination
for treasurer. 1t is probable that
]. H. Stocker will decide to make
the race for a third term. There is
another prospective candidate fol-
this Office in the person of Chris
Tueller Of Paris.
It looks as though James Dunn
will have no opposition for the nom
ination for assessor.
In the Second district the name
of Bishop Lindsay is being mentioned
in connection with the nomination
for commissioner, and it is likely
that his nomination will be filed.

CANDIDATES ARE LINING
UP FOR COUNTY OFFICES
Democrats Have Their Slate Practically Complet
ed--Republican Candidates for Legislature
Slow in Getting in the Race.

As the time draws near for filing
nominations for county offices,
little more interest is being mani
Tested regarding probable candi-
dates, among both republicans and
democrats.
While the Examiner does not pro-
fess to be on the inside" as re-
CARDS the lineup in the democratic
camp, yet the indications are that
there will be only one nomination
filed for each of the several offices,
unless it should be for commissioner
from the Third district and possibly
sheriff.
While John Quayle will be a can
didate for denomination for COM
missioner, It is a known fact that
the democratic leaders, especially in
Montpelier, are not satisfied with
him and are looking around" for
a man to put up against him who
they think can defeat him. They
had Fred Crulkshank slated as the
man, but Fred has refused to get
into the race, and we understand
that the leaders are now figuring on
w. ]. Hunter, as the man to skin
Quayle for the nomination.
Asa Athay is slated by the leaders
as their candidate for sheriff, but it
is possible that some others with
political ambitions may butt in and
give Asa d run for the nomination.
With the exception of the two
above named offices, there will be
no contests on the democratic ticket
and unless we have gotten the
wrong dope, the nominations will be
as follows:
Senator-E. M. Pugmire.
Representatives-Ezra ]. Howell
and w. J. Crockett.
Auditor-Ernest Hoff.
Treasurer-Stanley Rich.
Assessor George Haddock.
Probate judge-E. j. Haddock

of beating John Quayle.

mended that the disbarment and
grievance committee be given power
to compel witnesses to appear to give
testimony before 1t, and also that all
necessary evidence be submitted,
He also advocated that some plan
be adopted whereby procedure in ap-
peal cases will be made more certain
and definite than at the present time.
The third recommendation was
turned down, while the first two were
passed. The last dealt with the anti
pass law. The committee suggested
that. either the common carriers be
prevented from issuing any passes, or
that the law be repealed. This was
voted down almost unanimously, how
ever. 1t was felt that the association
has no right to interfere with such
legislation.

ment Of judicial districts in this state.

many Of the judges are overworked,
while others have very little to do,

Paris. Sept. 1s.-In the battle of the
Aisne. on the result of which depends
whether the Germans shall be able
again to threaten Paris or shall be
forced from France, the allies have
lost more men during two days than
during any previous period of the
war.
Fighting continues with the utmost
violence north of the Aisne in a des-
perate effort of the allies to gain ret
ribution for the terrible losses inf1ict-
ed on their ranks by the German big
gun fire during the perilous crossing
under fire.
The allies were repulsed in a fierce
counter attack by the Germans from
g strong entrenched position on the
German right, where General Won
Kluck has received reinforcements
and has taken the offensive. The
French also have been reinforced near
Noyon. the extreme left Of the allies
line. and the Germans have been fore
ed to yield slightly at other points.
Grand Forks daily herald., 1914-09-18

General Won Kluck today was re-
ported to be withdrawing his lines
closer to those of Won Buelow, who in
turn is fast closing up the gap be-
tween him and the main German GEN.
ter.
Fail to Surround Won KIuck's Army.
This would appear to indicate the
failure of General D'Amades stroke at
the rear of the German right wing, in
which he swept sixty miles to the
northward of Paris in an attempt to
cut off the Won Kluck army from the
main German forces. The French ad-
nit their failure to isolate Won Kluck
and the rival armies are now engag-
ed in frontal attacks and counter at
tacks along the whole battle line.
The German position is officially de-
scribed to be strong on their right,
weak in the center. with their left al
most untenable.
The allies seem to realize that this
third stage Of the French campaign
Is critical. The tenacity with which
the Germans are holding their posi-
tions and the persistence with which
they return to the attack, despite their
terrific losses and the exhaustion of
their men. indicates that this is to be
a battle of determination.
The German positions along the
whole front from the Osie to the
Meuse are organized for defence and
are fortified by heavy artillery. Five
thousand. guns have been engaged in
the giant artillery duel of the past two
days.
German Artillery Fire Deadly.
The German artillery has continued
to be particularly deadly. Their bat
teries are masked in the hills, where
most of their new positions have been
taken. and the guns are being served
with the utmost precision.
1t was because of the accuracy Of
the German big gun fire that the
losses Of the French have been SO
heavy. The war Office confines itself
to the statement that the advance Of
the allies can only be slow" Several
night attacks have, occurred In which
the German sallies have been repuls-
ed The morale of the French troops
remains excellent. r@s
Realization of the critical stage the
battle had reached was forced upon
Paris today. when Minister OF War
Millerand hurried from Bordeaux. to
Paris for conference, while the war
Office up to noon gave out no infor-
nation regarding the big battle.
The military expert for Le Matin to-
day described the German position
north Of the Aisne as good. both tech
