Politics Warming Up.

Local politics in Navajo county
are beginning to warm up, and
candidates are springing up on
every hand. AS the majorities
in the past have been with the
democrats, naturally there are
more aspirants in that party for
the several plums. The latest
candidates to file are w. A. Parr
and Chas. McCauley for state
senator for the democratic nomi-
nation, and r. &C. Cresswell and
F. T. LaPrade for county super
visor. The only republicans in
the field at this writing are
Sheriff Newman, who seeks re-
election, and Mrs. A. R. Goldman
who is seeking the nomination
for county superintendent. There
are twelve county offices to be
filled this fall, which ought to be
sufficient to give every aspirant
in the county a chance to get
into the primary game if he
thinks his country is calling him.
