With only IS days yet remaining g in which candidates may qualify under the democratic primary plan for the November election follow . ing the primary of August s, politics in Jefferson county, so far only milkwarm, is expected to reach q higher temperature before the final days Of qualifying April l.
 Politics over the entire state at this stage of developments has never taken on such a disinterested aspect before, old line politicians say. the races centering with regard to inter- est more in county than in state races
 Perhaps one of the reasons for this state of affairs is the theory ad- vanced that with the first state wide woman vote, much will depend on county politics as far as the mascu- line strength is concerned, that is working on the theory thatfhe male head of the household more interested in the race for his friend az sheriff judge, or other county unit offices will bring his support to these incum bents while the women generally. il is contended will throw her support in the state race. Politicians have high regard for this theory as much as they are prone to doubt the prac- tical side of it.

 The woman's vote, long considered an unknown factor and gaining in. terest almost daily, is looked on with decided favor and not single can didate already in the field has voiced challenge of their support.
 Meanwhile interest insofar as quail fications for office matter, has wanec considerably Just what moves will be made within the next few days is problematical, although it is con ceded that if Jefferson is to hold its own as far as interest in past polti- cal battles is concerned. the number of candidates will double.
 The race for probate judge ana sheriff will probably be the hottest that has eben waged in several cleo tions. John c. Arnold, member of the legislature from Jefferson county yesterday qualified with the state executive committee in opposition to Probate Judge J. P. Stiles. Doubt prevails in many quarters of the ability of the new aspirant to defeat the incumbent but friends of the legislator view with degree of sats- faction the proba hility of ". ].
