LEAGUE PROPO-
SES TO MAKE THINGS HUM
FROM NOW ON

County politics began to nven uE>
considerable during the past week.
with the announcement of the NoA
Partisan ticket and these candidates.
themselves, after meetings in which,
the plans for the campaign were dis
cussed, are starting in this week to.
make things lively from now until
November 3.
Meanwhile, the Republicans have
been hanging back little, waiting tCs
see what the Non-Partisan candidates
were gong to do and trying to shape
up their own affairs a little better
1t is expected that both sides will get
into the game, however. within .nss
next few days and reports fraAA
throughout the county indicate thazk
lively fight is in prospect
The Non-Partisan Candidates.

the opening gun, and it is mighty
good reading, too. They claim Tn.
have some "crackin' good matsriaE,
to work on and inasmuch as the sam--
timent throughout the county az
least on these points is well-nigh unf-
versal, what they have to say very
likely will be quite warmly received
in addition to carrying some heak
with it. They expect to 'open up

seen.
City Politics and RepubIicans.
Meanwhile, the predicament im
which the Republicans find them
selves SO far as city politics is CON
cerned, has caused no little laughter
on the quiet. The fact Of the mat
ter is that they are afraid to put up
ticket against Mayor Mottman ana
the candidates who will run with him
on the Citizens ticket, or, to put it
another way. 1t might perhaps BE-
better to say they cannot find any one
who is not afraid to run against that
ticket. The upshot Of 1t is that Hi
ram Dohm, present assistant city
clerk, who, in fit of party fealy.
spurned an offer of nomination ON
the Citizens ticket and filed for city
clerk on the Republican ticket, stands
mighty good show Of being left to
run by himself. And Dohm doesn't
like that little bit.
He felt whole lot better about It
Thursday morning, however, when
E. E. Taylor, former councilman, fled
for mayor on the Republican ticket
and the chances are now, with the
head Of the ticket in the field, that
candidates for all the other Offices
will get into the race before it is too
late Saturday night anG Olympians
will have chance to enjoy lively
city campaign during the lulI utter
the general election in November
