HAMILTON CANDIDATES
GETTING INIT THE RACE

AURORA, Jan. 22.-(Special) -Every
county officer Of Hamilton county will
probably be a candidate for reelection
this year. From present prospects. it
looks as If each of them would have lively
competition at the primaries. Already, a
number of men have filed for sheriff and
county judge.
1t looks as though the offices of sheriff
and county Judge will be the most sought
after. County Judge Fred letters has
held the office for two terms and will
be the democratic candidate for another
term. While the election will be nom
partisan, 1t looks as If there would be
democrat and a republican nominated
at the April primary.
A. r. Brownell, former county judge,
has already filed for the place. c. A.
Coats, another former county judge. is
said to be contemplating filing for the
place. Friends of Robert Chapman,
former county commissioner. will prob
ably file his name for county judge. Lead
ers predict that letters and Chapman
will be the nominees at the April primary
and a hard fight at the polls is expected.
Sheriff John f. Powell is finishing his
second term, but he will be candidate
again. He has an opponent already in
the shape of James Howard. who has
filed for the democratic nomination.
w. d. Campbell has filed for the re-
publican nomination as sheriff
Perry Reed, prominent farmer and
Mine stock breeder near Hampton, will
ffie as candidate for state representa-
five on the republican ticket T. M.
Scott, who has represented the county
for several terms as a democratic rep
resentative may file for state senator.
His opponent will probably be Senator c.
A. Sandal of York, the present senator
Former Representative Theodore G..
Nordgren expects to be a candidate for
lieutenant governor. He has not definitely
made up his mind on the matter, but will
probably shy his hat into the ring shortly.
County Clerk June ]. Klumb is also
hesitating as whether he should be a
candidate for third term He is the
only republican among the county Of
ficers. His deputy Henry Nelson and
his former deputy Arthur Nelson will
file for the place IL he stays out.
County Attorney c. L. Whitney, County
Treasurer Frank McCarty and County
Superintendent Mary Mcconnell are just
finishing their first terms and will run
again. They will have no opposition in
their own party. ]. w. Weedin viii have
no opposition for denomination for clerk
Of the district court.
There will be no progressive ticket this
year. The fight win be a straight one
between the two old parties.
