the entire number. with the excep-
ton OF one or two already filed. will
be presented to the county clerk IN a

AT least two county offices are
claimed for Democratic nominees in
the general election, according to the
forecast made by local leaders of that
party. They claim there will be no
difhculty of re-electing w. E. Atchf.
son, county attorney. and that they
stand an excellent chance Of defeat,
ing the Republican nominee for reg
lister of deeds. Considerable hone in
Democratic breasts has been inspired
ny the appearance of a Progressive
ticket in this county. With Demo-
cratic successes in the state, it ia he
neveo that the Democrats in Shawnee
county have a better chance than ever
