MANY HATS SHE'D INTO
THE RING THIS WEEK
Mostly Old Offenders, But One New
Name Appears in the List
of Aspirants.

ton they have all been seen there
before.
Abe X. Stoufer announces that he
is willing to take the Office of County
Clerk again if the Republicans are
willing and they will no doubt be
willing Mr.. Stoufer is an old timer
at the business and knows st by
heart He has always made good
officer, devoting his whole time to
his duties, and yet he has not re-
ceived an increase in salary as have
workers in other lines.
We are not going to waste much
space telling people about Abe X,
Stoufer. If there is anyone who
does not know him they have not
lived here long, and those who know
him know that he would be mighty
hard to beat as a County Clerk.
w. H. Feather says he is also will
ing to stay with the job of Treasurer
Feather is a good deal like Stoufer
in every respect, and the fact that he
knows the work and likes it is about
the only reason he would stay with
it. Everybody knows Feather and
knows he is competent, obliging and
Trustworthy, Two years ago no one
could be found who would oppose
him on the Democratic ticket and the
chances are that he has everyone
buffaloed again this year.
]. w. Campbell completes the Re-
publican trio for this week. "Jim"
is also fitting member of the trio.
He has held the office of Probate
Judge for several terms and numbers
his friends by the hundred. He has
married a lot of people and while
most of the knots have held he may
have few enemies among those
who think he got them into trouble.
However, these are keeping the mat
ter to themselves and Jim continues
to marry them and keep the grass
growing on the court house lawn
Jim will likely have no opposition in
his own party and the Democrats may
not find man who has nerve enough
to buck him.
But don't think that just because
the Republicans have three candi-
dates there are not others.
Eugene w. Davis is out after the
office of County Attorney on the
Democratic ticket While he has not
appeared before the public as many
times as the other gentlemen men
toned he has had his name on the
ballot before and made a good race.
The only thing that could be said
against Gene two years ago was that
he was a little young. Since that
time he is two years older and lot
wiser and will be strong contender
for the office, having no opposition
in his own party.
Davis was the only Democrat who
got away with majority in the city
two years ago, and when he becomes
as we'll known in the country as he
is here he will have lot more
friends.
Last, but not by any means least,
comes W. B. King, who seeks the Of
flee of District Clerk. King is a new
man in Seward county politics, but
lot of people are going to know
him before the campaign is over. He
was associated with Attorney G. W.
Sawyer for several years. When the
United States >entered the war Mr.
King donned the khaki and did his
part with the balance of the Seward
county boys, and when it ended he
returned to Liberal and took up his
work where he left off.
King is perfectly competent, abso-
lutely reliable and a good man for
the place. The Democrats would not
think of running anyone against him,
so he will win the nomination hands
down.
The Democrat can recommend Mr..
King as a good man for the job and
promises that if he is elected the
office will be handled in a perfectly
manner.
We will tell you more about Mr..
King as the campaign progresses and
we hope to see him make strong
race in the election this fall.
Since writing the above Miss
Thompson informs us that she has
concluded to again be candidate for
County Superintendent on the Demo
cratic ticket. Miss Thompson has abb
