COUNTY POLITICS BECOME
DEFINITE
(Contiued from page one)

Hoenstine is primarily efficient and
painstaking and has given to the
office to the limit in honesty, ability
and fair treatment for the public.
C. G. Smith, assessor; George w.
Brady, sheriff; Frank German, au-
ditor and recorder; R. E. Tilden,
surveyor, will all seek reelection,
according to word that passes
around among their friends. In
the instance of Mr.. Brady, opposi-
ton in the democratic ranks has al
ready developed in the candidacy of
w. G. Quicker, who may be opposed,
according to common report, by
w. II. Springer and N. p. Moore.
Mr.. Brady has been a fearless, up
standing type of officer who has
fulfilled his oath of office in high
ly commendatory manner, with the
result that his two-year tenure of
office has served to add to the num-
Der who strove successfully for his
election in 1920.
The record of Assessor Smith is
also too well known to demand ex-
tended analysis. Eminently fair in
judicial sense and possessed of
splendid knowledge of property
values in this county, Mr.. Smith has
created assessment rolls during his
term of office that have been gen.
orally commended both at home and
in the state capital, where they must
go for the final examination and APP
proval by the state board of equal
ization. Mr.. Smith has succeeded in
cutting operating expenses of his
office to an extent that the saving
constitutes a considerable sum, and
this, with the remembrance of Mr.
Smiths action in returning to the
county treasury a large sum OF
money paid him as salary and his
subsequent action in requesting that
the salary law be changed by the
legislature, lowering his monthly
compensation, are facts that will be
remembered by taxpayers when
election day rolls around. For this
reason it is considered unlikely that
Mr.. Smith will have opposition TO,
the place.
Frank German, county recorder
sits at his desk day after day anc
performs functions that go with hi,
office. He has not definitely an
nounced as yet, although admitting
that he is very likely to do so
what is more natural" he said re
Gently when Intercepted on thu
subject, ethan that one should de
sire to continue to do the things fol
which they have long been trained.
Mr.. German is known as one O.

records are neat and up to thu
minute.
County Surveyor r. E. Tilden i

officials in building the preliminar.
plans that are expected to matur,
in a comprehensive and disable coun
ty highway system. Being familiar
with the details invoked to a create
degree than any other man it il
natural that he would seek re
election. H. H. Sheldon is men
toned in opposition to his candi
dacy.
For district attorney, L. G. Will
son, incumbent, will probably be il
the field to succeed himself. 1t il
said that he is likely to be opposed
by L. o. Hawkins of the law firm
of Warren & Hawkins. Anothel
name mentioned in connection will
the district attorneyship is that o.
7. E. Powell, who held the offic.
previously.
Of course, the passing of it'll,

be in the field for offices that will
