CANDIDATES
MUST FILE SOON
Nearly All of Present County Officers
Will be Candidates for Nominal
ton on Republican Ticket
OFFICE SEEKERS WILL BE MANY
Warm Campaign Promised Before the
September Primaries

During the past few weeks a
number of office seekers in Bonner
county have announced that they
would be candidates for nomina
ton upon the various party tickets
at the primaries which will be held
September 1st. The new primary
law makes it obligatory upon can
didates to file their nominations
with the county clerk not later than
80 days before the primary election
and consequently many candidates
are preparing for the primary cam
paign now.
The first to file his nomination
papers in this county was Capt.
M. c. Markham, of Laclede, Ida
no. Mr.. Markham is a candidate
for nomination upon the republi
can ticket for sheriff.
Sheriff Remer, of Boomers Fer
ry, will also be a candidate for
nomination on the republican tick
ct for sheriff having made public
his announcement this week.
Allen P. Asher, of Standpoint,
who will be candidate on the re-
publican ticket for nomination as
county prosecuting attorney, was
among the first to announce his
candidacy. The present county
prosecuting attorney, w. J. Cos
tello, will also be candidate for
nomination on the republican tick
ct and c.. A. Buhrow of this city,
will probably come out for nomina-
ton for this Office on the progress
sive ticket.
Throughout his term as county
clerk and recorder, Rob't S. Nc
Crea has made an enviable record
for himself and no more popular or
efficient county officer has ever
served in Bonner county. Mr..
McCrea will be candidate for re-
election and it is generally con.
ceded that he will have no opposi.
ton in his own party and that the
opposition from opposing parties
will cut but little figure.
Probate Judge Woods, County
Superintendent of Schools Ramsey
County Surveyor Chaffins, County
Treasurer Andrew Christensen and
Coroner Knapp are all expected to
be candidates on the republican
ticket for reelection and so far no
opposing candidates have an
nounced themselves.
The Herald cannot vouch for the
veracity of the rumor which
reached here this week to the effect
, that Assessor VonCanon would not
be candidate for reelection. II
Mr.. VonCanon does not file his
nomination the Office may go beg.
ging for awhile.
1t is understood that the mem.
bers of the present board of county
commissioners will be candidate:
for reelection also. The present
t board has, no doubt, done as much
, if not more work of a permanent
character and of lasting benefit Il
all parts of the county than ha'
any other board since Bonner coun
| ty was created. The present coun
= ty commissioners have been vilell
: abused and misrepresented, repeat
