Candidates Scarce.

Discussing the scarcity of candidatea'
the Bluclield Telegraph has the follow
ing TO say
candidates seem to be slow IN
placing themselves in the hands OF their
friends for county and district offices.
With three members Of the legislature
to elect, q state senator. a county super
illcndcnt of schools. a congressman and
senator, with probably several district
officials, there Is no reason why the
campaign Of 192? should be tame
affair.
1t is quite probable. from local
rumor. that the Legislature may be casl-
ed upon to amend the stock law In so
Tar as il touches the running at large
Of animals in incorporated cities. And
this Is sure to be most interesting
locally Many statesman who has
weathered the political storms over the
tariff, league Of nations and other
great national and international aues-
lions. has fallen by the wayside when
he tackled the dog law. Possibly the
cow may wreck the ambitions OF other
statesmen who otherwise might save
the country But TO date there seems
to be a lethargy among possible candi-
dates. although some two or three have
declared themselves in the race for Of
