COUNTY POLITICS
Probate Judge and Prose-
cutting Attorney the only
Offices to be Contested.
Other Officers will be
Re-nominated Without
Opposition.

All the conventions will soon be over,
when the attention OF the people politi-
caly will be taken up with the various
campaigns, state and county. There
will probably be but two contests ir
the Van Buren, county primaries, for
prosecuting attorney and probate Judge.
Prosecutor Earl l.. Burhans is Just COM
pleting his second term and will not be
a candidate for denomination. The can
didates for this Office in the republican
primaries will be Attorney @. M. Van
Riper OF Hartford, deputy prosecutor,
Attorney H. II. Adams of Lawton and
Attorney Brett II. Cockett OF Decatur.
For probate Judge, Wm. Klllefer is
completing his first term and has already
announced his candidacy for re-nomina-
tion on the republican ticket. No other
public announcements have as yet been
made through the press, but 1t is gener-
ally understood that Prosecutor Earl L..
Burhans will contest with Judge 'Kille-
fer for the nomination. 1t is also ru-
mored that Attorney j j. Sturr If De.
catur will be in the race. Everyone
comedies that Judge Kilefer has made
one of the best probate judges the coun-
ty ever had His close application to
the affairs of the office, his courtesy and
ability, and every other requisite for a
competent official have combined to
make his administration of the office
satisfactory to the county. The only
reason that Judge Kilefer will not be
accorded the customary second term
without opposition is the fact that be
was elected four years ago on the Pro
gressive ticket.
The balance Of the county official ros-
ter are all completing their first terms
and will be renomiuated without opposi-
ton. Gladstone Il. Beattie has made
one OF the best sherlffs the county ever
had. The same can be said of the county
Clerk Royal f. Decker, Treasurer A. ..
Duncombe, Register of Deeds II. w.
Showerman, Draiu Commissioner Chas
Ashley, and Surveyor. w. Il. Goss. All
have been courteous and efficient Off
cials. They need havo no worry over
denomination.
Senator Burrell Tripp and Representa-
tive Lynn j. Lewis are also serving their
first terms and will have no opposition in
the primaries. Both have represented
their constituents in The state legislature
TO the satisfaction of everybody and
will be accorded the customary second
term without opposition.
