LECHLE|TER MAY
RUN FOR SHERIFF
PROMINENT CITIZEN OF SHO-
SHONE URGED BY FRIENDS
ALL OVER COUNTY TO ACCEPT
NOMINATION..

The Journal hears that the name
of Frank G.. Lechleiter will be Of
fered in the coming primaries as
Democratic candidate for the Of
flee of sheriff. While living away
from Lincoln county for a year or
so before his return here several
months ago, Mr.. | echleiter is
numbered among the pioneers in
this new country. AT Gooding he
had charge of large lumber bus
mess, at the same time holding the
post of head of the Cooling COLI
mercial club, to which he gave en-
ergetic and intelligent direction.
Until about year ago Mr.. Lech-
letter was in the lumber business
at Richfield. Within the bounds
of Lincoln county as trimmed up
by county division he is personally
known everywhere as a man of
character and force. He was
warmly welcomed as a permanent
resident OF ShOshOne, where he Is
engaged in the lumber business.
1t might be said by the thought
less that he is still in the lumber
business, but that word still does
not fit Lechleiter at all. On the
contrary he is up and a-coming
every minute.
1t should be said that the gen
tleman mentioned is in every way
discouraging the use of his name
in connection with any public Of
flee at this time but it will require
a flat denial from him to keep him
off the ticket at the coming pri-
maries.
