Friends of Sheriff +. II. Tracy and
Judge Frank J. Martin have in the last
week been circulating petitions in the
county for their reelection. Judge Mar
tin has been out of the Office for few
weeks and his friends did not want the
nomination to 90 by default of some 9th
err man, therefore the petitions have been
| taking care of his interests so that when
he returns there will be no question
: as to his candidacy. A week or more
ago Sheriff Tracy was approached upon
| the matter of reelection. He did not
commit himself at that time, but
since then has told his friends that if
| they want his reelection he will accept
the honor, and therefore has become
candidate for reelection. Petitions are
| in circulation also for denomination Of
Judge G. Fl. Dale and probably for other
county officers.
