publicans hold 228, the democrats
1853. the progressives H. and the So
cialists two, there being one vacancy.
that of surveyor of Franklin county,
not as yet filled.
These facts were CLEANED this week
from a roster OF the county officials
made available at the court house and
give some idea of the trend of affairs
polite at the last election.
Filling the office of county auditor
and recorder there are 16 republicans,
15 democrats, one progressive, this be-
ing r. N. Wright, OF Nez Perce coun-
ty, and one socialist, c. II. Burgher Of
Minadoka county, in the southern part
of the state. Twenty republicans and
10 democrats, with both of the other
parties eliminated. go to make up the
political complexion of the treasurer
ship offices Of the state, while the Of
fices OF sheriff are filled by ~ repub-
licans, 20 democrats, and one social
list. d. II. Gregory, also of Minadoka
county.
There are at this time 21 probate
judges elected to office on the repubdi-
can ticket, 10 democrats, and two pro-
gressives. with no socialist in this Of
flee. The progressive occupants are
Otto d. Burns OF Nez Perce county
and j. e. Bond OF Minadoka county.
The republicans almost made a clean
sweep at the late election for the Of
flee of county surveyor, placing in
office 23 OF their 80 candidates. with
the democrats winning out in the re-
naming counties, one vacancy exist
ed as noted above. For county attor-
ney the democrats elected II OF
that political faith in office, the re-
publicans being only able to claim IA,
and the progressives two, r. w.
Adair Of Bingham county and Homer
c. Mills of Minadoka county.
Twenty-three republicans fill that
many offices Of county assessor in the
state, with the remaining 10 claimed
! by eight democrats and two progress
sives, A. II. Hazen of Nez Perce and
C. o. Cornwall of Minadoka. Neither
progressive nor socialist was elected to
the office of county coroner, this being
filled in the several counties by 20 re-
publicans and 10 democrats. Twenty
three republican candidates for the
struction were victorious in the last
election, and 10 democratic seekers
for the office were elected.
OF the 80 county commissioners
throughout the state, Sc are republi-
can, 3S democratic, and five progress
sive, Nez Perce county claiming three
OF these, George S. Watson, ]. A. Fer
ris and L. J. Southwick, with the
other two elected in Minadoka and
Bingham counties.
II is interesting to note that out of
the IL progressive county candidates
elected to office, Nez Perce county
named one-hah of the number, Min
adoka four and Bingham county the
other two; and that the two socialists
elected to office both are in Minadoka
county For many of the offices In
the counties the socialists did not have
a candidate in the field, and the same
may be said of the progressives In
some instances.
