A PARTIAL TICKET
Six Candidates Are Filed
For Office.

Star-M Mirror: The nonpartizan lea
que has filed Its ticket in Latah
county. Only six candidates have
been filed, one each for the three
commissioners positions, and one
each for the three Legislative posi-
tions to which Latah county is en-
titled. The ticket was filed by
petition, there being SIT names on
these. The law requires 300, but
nearly double that number were
secured. 1t is said that several
petitions are yet out, having failed
to reach Moscow IN time.
The candidates filed are: State
senator, Hugh R. Abel, OF Moscow;
representatives, Frank Stevens,
Moscow, and William Smith, Deary;
commissioners, First district. John
B. Katzenberger, of Cora precinct;
Second district S. M. Tideman, of
Genesee; Third district, Paul C..
Carlson OF Troy.
These are filed as independent"
Candidates and not as nonpartizan
league candidates, and will go on
the official ballot as independent"
candidates under the heading In
dependent Tick The indica-
tlons now are there will be but
three tickets on the official ballot,
the republican, democratic and in
dependent. Should any other can
didates be filed by any party organ
ization they would be placed under
the head of independent" on the
official ballot. Whether or not the
presidential tickets the Farmer
Labor, Prohibition, Liberty" and
other parties will be placed on the
official ballot will depend upon
whether or not petitions containing
5000 names for each of these, are
filed at Boise, with the secretary OF
state.
