Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1922-04-06
OPEN SEASON FOR CANDIDATES
Woods Are Full of Them, and Pri-
mary Election Promises to Be In
teresting. All County officials
Are Candidates for Reelection.

The time has arrived when candi-
dates for public Office can begin the
circulation of their petitions to have
their name placed upon the primary
ballot, and many of them are proceed
ing to do that very thing. Linton
seems to have more prospective can
didates to the square inch than ever
before. Sheriff and county Judge
seem to be the most desirable.
All the present officials will be up
for reelection Those who are serv-
ing their first terms are States At
torney> Coventry, Sheriff Ed. Miller,
Register of Deeds A. H. Irvine and
Treasurer Chas. B. Carley..
The candidates for county Judge so
far mentioned are Don Tracy, the
present incumbent, who will be can
didate for third term; T. P. Lee,
who will run for Judge instead of for
reelection as county commissioner;
John O'Donald, a teacher in the north
west part of the county, whose an
nouncement appears in another COL
umn; Adam Thomas, of Linton, who is
said to be circulating petition; and
there is rumor of still another can
didate from the Westfeld neighbor-
hood.
Sheriff seems to be desirable job
also. Sheriff Miller is candidate
for second term. Joe Volk, who
was defeated by Miller two years ago,
will run again. Will Lee is also a
candidate again. Charles Brown, To-
cal cream buyer, is also candidate.
Three candidates are already in the
field for county treasurer. Treas
urer Carley will be candidate for a
second term. E.. T. Atha, treasurer
fer two terms prior to Mr.. Carley's
first term, is running. Jake Kremer,
Lintsn merchant, is also planning on
entering this race.
A. H.. Irvine is candidate for a
second term as register of deeds.
Henry Klaudt, of Linton, and w. F.
Hageman are also circulating peti-
tions. *a. .-.
Clerk of Court Wagner and Audi
tor Brant seem to be free from oppo-
sition as yet. The same applies to
H. H. Hanson. States Attorney
Coventry has as yet no announced
opposition, but it is reasonable to pre-
sumo that his opponent of last year
will take another shot at it.
Legislative candidates have not yet
shown up. Neither the leaguers nor
the Independents have their tickets
lined up. The leaguers expect to
have joint convention with Kidder
county at either Braddock or Kintyre
at some future date. The independ-
ents will probably take some action at
their convention week from Satur-
day.
Commissioner candidates are be-
ginning to show up. Ben Matthews
is circulating petition for the place
now held by Mr.. Lee. The names of
Anton Grunefelder' and w. H. john
son are also being mentioned for the
same place. In the McConville dis
trict, it is reported that Joe Glas and
Anton MAIDEN may be candidates al
though neither have definitely an
nounced themselves. McConville will
probably quit. In the Gcughnour dis
trict, Fred Schiermeister Jr.., will
probably run. Whether or not there
will be others is problematical.
Schall and DuHeaume hold over until
1924.
The above form the advance guard
Of the army Of candidates who win
take the field. There will probably
be numerous additions before the final
date for filing May 2sth-arrives
