Jury; lower taxes by abolishing Of
fices right and left; restore the pri-
many election law and stop electing
Judges according to the demands of
lawyers and politicians, to which end
the nom partisan judiciary should be
restored.
Amonson's platform gathered tre-
mendouS force behind him without the
least effort on his part. Mr.. Caster
lin has not definitely announced any
platform of principles. He is an able
lawyer and has IN campaigns past
been an effective speaker on the
stump. ) Supporters, of sAmonson are
looking around Cor running mate for
him who stands with him along the
lines he. has announced as committed
to and the two are to be supported by
their friends in the August primary
although their names do not appear, on
the democratic ballot. Their campaign
is to be waged on the cry that they
stand for progressive measures.
Thus the democrats will be called
upon to select their candidates for
senator, representative, county attor-
ney if they want one, surveyor and
coroner, while it will be up to the re-
publicans TO select a county supefin-
tendent if they desire to nominate
any one for that office. s5..,
1t Is most likely that both tickets
will be filed as to vacancies while
there are contests in a number of the
nominations, those of treasurer and
sheriff, with two republican candi-
dates for the former (Mrs. w. l..
Thompson and F. c. Miller), and with
two democrats and three republicans
running in the primaries for the lat
ter nominations. Stroud and With
ington are the democrats and Donald
Martin, Horace Pope and Ferrill Ter
ry the republicans.
The two parties filed complete NOM
| nations in the county with the eXcep-
| ton of names for senator and repre-
sentative, county attorney, coroner
and surveyor by the democrats and
school superintendent by. the republi-
cans. Here are the two tickets:
Democratic-Clerk and Recorder, +
p. Maloy; Assessor, Jesse f. Shorett
Treasurer, E. r. Gilbreath; Probate
Judge, G. w .Cronkrite; School Su-
perintendent, Isabelle Ryan; Sheriff
Fraim Wilmington and T. ]. Stroud
County Commissioners, Fred l.. Vlel
w. H. Fayle an1 j. d. Brown.
Republican-County Commissioners
G. A. Beers, C. F. Snyder and w. A
Briney; Clerk and Recorder, w. w
Simmonds; Assessor, w. c. White
Treasurer, Mrs. w. l.. Thompson ant
F. C. Miller; Probate Judge, Jame'
Melvyn; County Attorney, Francis r
| Hall, Jr.; Sheriff, Horace Pope, Don
aid Martin and Ferrill Terry. s5.s
| There may and doubtless will b,
written in at the primaries all tn,
necessary candidates to fill both tick
cts. Thus it will be necessary for tn
democrats to name by writing in botl
legislative nominees, as well as tha
of coroner and surveyor, it being thel
| intention not to name any candidate
for county attorney against Hall.
The republicans called their Gin
cinnatus from the plow last Saturda,
when at the urgent demand of the Sal
mon party leaders they induced Farm
er James Melvyn to file for the offic
of Probate Judge. Once before, to wit
in the year 1916, the same candidat
was narrowly defeated, his opponen
being E. H. Casterlin, since the
graduated and now in practice at tn
bar. Mr.. Melvyn is possessed of tn
judicial temperament and is man o
sterling character and sound judg
ment.
