WASHINGTON, July 1l.-There Is
a strong undereurrent OF talk among
army officials indicating that the
present activities OF General Wood
in aid OF the Harding ticket must
be handled soon by the Secretary os
War.
The idea is that while General
Wood was running for President he
was given carte blanche to do all he
could for himself. and he was not
opposed. either in point OF time away
from duty or In what he might say
for or against the administration.

would have gone back to his mill

strictly after tho convention.

Wood is to be the judge of the limi-

veloped seems to be that il General
Wood were to so back entirely to

limitations.

presence only OF her lady in waiting.
Her nephew, the Duke of Alba, at
whose residence she died. was in

in France. Spain and England. and
travelled extensively with her mother
on the European Continent. She met

IN the for county it seems reasonably

veyors by profession and training Both have had
wide experience and are well acquainted with the
ownership and value of property within the county
The party in each seems to be nsstent upon
the boys making the race, so that they have no al
tentative but to accept the brother against brother
contest. AS both are well qualified, it will be UP to
the party vote to decide the matter between them
Unless he positively refuses to run, E. Fl. Ryan,
the present competent county attorney, will without
a question of doubt be renomnated by the Republi-
cans and ]. M. Foster has cinch on the Democratic
nomination.
Miss Kate Taylor. of Parowan. has been such a
faithful and efficient county recorder during the past
two years and has given such universal satisfaction
that it would be mistake to disturb her incum-
bency. 1t is being freely talked by Republicans of
endorsing her their ticket, or nominating her if
the Democrats fail to do so.
The naming of the candidates for treasurer is us
ualy conceded to the county seat town, and we have
not heard candidates for this office discussed Bro
ther Morgan Richards, the present incumbent, is one
of the finest characters this county has ever produced
and always faithful and earnest in any positions to
which he has been elected or appointed whether civil
or ecclesiastical but there is widespread feeling
that Bro. Richards is getting little old for strenuous
public life. and he will probably entertain this view
himself. We should have young vrile and honest
person for the position.
