RHODES FOR CLERK Or COURT
Days for Dark Horses are Numbered
and New Candidates Must be Brought
to Front in Next Two Days-Old
Timers Ready to File Their Petitions.

Dark horses began to make their ap
pearance today in the race for the
nomination of candidates for county
offices, the first one being William
Kruger who took out petitions as 3
candidate for the republican nomina
ton for sheriff, Kruger was in the
race before the primary two years age
but failed to land the nomination
Since that time he has been busy get
ting ready for second attempt to land
the nomination and the office. He
gained some notoriety in his fight with
the city council license committee over
saloon on Market Square, but since
that place was closed he has been work
ing at his trade as roofer.
Kruger was given considerable sup
port in the primary of two years age
and if he secures the signatures neces,
sary to get on the ticket he will prob.
ably make a strenuous campaign foi
the nomination. Political leaders, how.
ever, do not believe that the candidacy
of Kruger will be strong enough to
cause the other republican candidates
any loss of sleep.
Carl Starr. who up to the present has
had monopoly in the race for the
republican nomination for the Office OF
the clerk of the circuit court, will not
be alone on the primary ballot as this
morning petitions were taken out fol-
the nomination of Frank E. Rhodes for
the Office. Mr.. Rhodes is a native of
the town of Somers and is widely
known throughout the county. He is
at present employed at the plant of
the Thomas B. Jeffrey Company.
While there are but three more days
In which to file petitions of the candi-
dates not a single candidate has filed a
sufficient number of petitions to get his
name on the primary ballot and it is
expected that there will be grand rush
on Friday and Saturday. The candi.
dates do not seem to be disturbed in
the least over the failure of petitions
to come in to the clerk. The democra.
tic candidates made trip through the
county on Tuesday visiting every town
and the petitions Of all of these candi-
dates were brought into the city and
are being put in shape for fling today
1t is declared that all of the candi.
dates on the democratic side of the
fence have sufficient signatures to get
their names on the primary ballot The
republican candidates have had their
petitions ready for filing for some time
with the exception of the two candi.
dates who came into the field today.
The campaign is beginning to show
signs of warming up and cards and
posters are now being put out by many
of the candidates. The real fight, how.
ever, will not start until after all of
the petitions have been fled.
