WITH PRIMARY ELECTION TINE ALMOST
HERE LOCAL POLITICS STAYS DROWSY

With the primary nominating con-
vention now but slightly over three
months distant some stir is becoming
noticeable in local political circles
though the pot is far from the boil
ing stage. In fact there is apparently
little interest being taken either by
candidates or BY voters, though more
or less private discussion is under
way.
A report Is current that small re-
publican caucus was held here re-
Gently and that as result of the
same County Commissioner Cockburn,
who desired to retire from office. has
date to succeed himself Mr.. Cock
burn himself was in attendance at this
gathering and is said to have express
ed desire to step out but was i'm
plored not to do so.
One of the known facts in connec-
ton with county politics is that Coun-
ty Judge Maloney will not seek re-
election to his present office. He was
inclined against running four years
ago and was induced to enter the
race with difficulty. He now de-
clares that he has done enough and
expressed his intention OF retiring
completely from official life.
Who will run fUr the judgeship
seems TO be matter wholly in the
air at present There is report To
the effect the same forces that asked
Mr.. Cockburn to seek reelection as
commissioner also decided to urge
County Clerk Sailing to run for the
judgeship this spring. Mr.. Sailing,
however, says no such request has
come to him and he Is ignorant OF
any such move. He has not yet de-
cided whether to run for reelection
as clerk. In the event he seeks re-
election 1t Is probable Mr., Sailing viii

of the present school supervisors. who
is grooming himself for the repubii-
can nomination for clerk. Mr.. Yea
ger lives at Hermiston
Among those who are at times men
toned in connection with the county
judges are w. w. Harrah and
Douglas Belts, the former a democrat
and the latter republican of indie
pendent leanings Mr.. Harrah is a
prominent Wild Horse farmer and is
now living here He is considered
very capable and in the event OF his
candidacy would have considerab ble
backing from farmers and other
sources. Mr.. Belts was formerly in
the sheep business and is now located
here. Like Mr.. Harrah he is also a
man of business ability and personal
popularity.
For the commissionership 1t is pos
sble that l.. Hodgins of the Milton
country may become the democratic
nominee against Mr.. Cockburn. The
term of Commissioner Waterman does
not expire for two years.
Other county officials to be chosen
are a sheriff. recorder and treasurer,
the school superintendent and assess
or both being holdovers. 1t is con-
sidered probable that Sheriff Taylor,
Treasurer Bradley and Recorder Bur-
roughs will all seek reelection.
In the legislative field a report has
been current that Senator p. y. Bur-

has made this purpose known TO
friends but has made no public state
