NOMINATIONS FOR

POURING IN
MANY RUSH TO FILE DURING
LAST FEW DAYS-FHW
FIGHTS DEVELOP
PETT|BONEFOR STATESENATE
August Schroeder for Representative
and Wilbur L. Campbell for
Probate Judge

With Saturday the last day for filing
of candidates for nominations for
county office at the September primary,
nominations are pouring into the office
of County Auditor Telcher, and indica-
tions are that, with one or two excep-
tons, every place ON the Democratic
and Republican tickets will be filled.
Few fights have developed, it ap-
pearing to be the disposition of both
parties to eliminate as much strife at
the primary election as possible.
One For Non-partisan League.
The so-called Non-partisan league, has
filed only one candidate in Idaho
county. He is Ben Baker, a rancher re-
siding east of Grangeville, and his
nomination was filed for the office of
state representative ON the Democratic
ticket. II is reported that Mr.. Baker is
Socialist, and again it is reported that
he is Republican. His nomination was
filed by C. S. Smith. 1t is said that a
"manager" for the Non-partisan League
was present when the nomination was
filed.
1t also is reported that the Non-parti
san league is supporting two other can
didates for legislative office. Whether
this is true, has not been definitely as
certained, but if the decision has been
made by the league to place only one
candidate for legislative office Ill the
race in rsaho county, it is taken to
indicate confession of weakness on the
part of fhe league, its managers evil
IDENTIFY feeling that for them to place
their own candidates in the field, would |
be utter folly. In Latah and Nezperce !
counties, the league has filed full legis
lative tickets. This, those in a position
90 know point out, would have been the
course they would have pursued in
Idaho county, had they felt they sould
have "put things over"
