publish his letter along with some
others so people can enjoy them
(see this issue or the next).
State Representative
The stack of questionaires sug-
costing representatives lists Heber
C. Rich, A. T. Smith, w. c. Sollen-
berger, p. G. Johnston, w. A. Beak-
ley, E. w. Harold. Byrd Trego, Ar
thur Manwaring and Harvey Alfred.
None Of them have said they are will
ing to consider it, but the greatest
number of persons suggested P. G..
Johnston, and some of them are peo-
pie who have opposed him at other
times, He has had several terms
of service, and all seem to agree
that If he will serve, Bingham coun-
ty would do we'll to elect him.
County Commissioners
For county commissioners the fol-
lowing have been suggested: H. C.
Taylor, F. T. Halvorson, John E.
Kelley, Louis Felt, T. P. Fackrell,
Henry Berg, w. C. Thompson, Fred
Nelson, William NJ. Dye, George
Wernette, John r. Williams, M. A..
Fugate, John F. Shelley, W. H. STUFF
flebeam, c. Anderson, E. w. Harold,
R. G. Bills and James Christensen.
These are such important positions
and such thankless tasks, that no.
body seems to care to shoulder the
burden. When men file for those
positions it is likely to be in response
to requests pressed upon them by
men who are acting in the public
interest.
County Clerk and Judge
The county clerk and district
judge are elected every four years,
and this is the campaign when they
hold over.
Sheriff
Sheriff Simmons has served three
terms, and the big QUESTIONABLE in
dicates there is strong demand for
his reelection. F. E. DeKay, T. B.
DAILY, T. c. Anderson, George Ezell
and Jarvis D. Jensen have also been
suggested as desirable men for the
place. Mr.. Simmons will stand for
reelection and j. D. Jensen has de-
cided to contest it with him.
Conutv AttO,nev
The present incumbent, R. w.
Adair, declines to serve again. We
have nice letter from him that we
want to publish for you to read. The
questionaires suggest Guy Stevens,
Fred Simons, Hamilton Wright, w.
A. Beakley, A. S. Dickinson and R.
w. Adair. Mr.. Simons and Mr..
Wright have stated that they will
not run, and the others have not in
dicated to us their decision. Both
Mr.. Stevens and Mr.. Dickinson re-
ceived good many votes in the
QUESTIONABLE, theirs being the high
est after mentioning Mr.. Adair.
TOUdtc ouuSt
The QUESTIONABLE gave Judge Good
1 large vote, and he has indicated
his intention to run again, and says
lie will do his best to conduct the
office efficiently and economically
f elected. Some indicated the wish |
or change, but none others were |
suggested excepting James Duck
worth, who would not likely consid-
n it.
Assessor
E. T. Malcolm, J. A. Stewart, Law
ence Thorstenberg, Frank Farmer,
/. B. Dance, R. B. Faris, are suggest
ID, and Mr.. Stewart and Mr.. Faris
lecline the honor with thanks.
Treasurer
H. Andrew Benson, F. M. Fisher,
I. R. Davis, Willard Dance, Grace
'aulconer and Grace Stevens are
and Mr. Benson is men,
Toned oftenest. 1t is also stated
y some folks that they think Mr..
Benson has too much help in the Of
ice and that he is working for him
elf too much of the time and they
re going to have change. That,
I course, means that either some
ody is mistaken or there has to be
change to remind the incumbent
hat he is elected to work and not
cave it to deputies. This paper has
o information to offer excepting
hat the others bring to us.
School Superintendent
Grace Faulconer, Mrs. Robert
,obbins of Springfield and Mrs.
I. D. Jackson of Aberdeen are men,
