LET'S START THE FIRE "
IF POLITICAL POT is
EVER TO GET BOILING
CONTINUED from Page One)

q few others to sort o. make pace, so
to speak. On Monday he showed the
list to several. It includes himself, of
course, and Tom Ricllel as candidate
in district No. 2 to succeed Bob Tay-
I ior Mrs. Anna Carron is listed for
/ the treasurership and Mrs. Mamie T.
Griffin to be recorder Joe's ability
to pick good, strong capable candi-
dates must be taken for granted from
now on. 1t is not known whether any
of Joe's candidates have consented to
1 become such on their own hook.
Mrs. Ana Frohmiller will not be a
4 candidate for the treasurership, the
statutes of limitations barring her.
4 Her many friends are now urging
her to try for the recordership, be-
I lieving the efficient record she has
1 made as treasurer would guarantee
/ her an easy victory, but so far she
/ absolutely refuses to consider any Of
1 flee.
| Howard Marine is decided against
offering for reelection as recorder.
But that may be changed as the poll
tical pot really gets to boiling, things
get contagious and his friends get
more insistent in their arguments.
County Assessor Billy Beeson it is
4 believed will ask for reelection and
while he may have opposition his
record will make whoever trys against
him extend himself to the limit.
Sheriff John Parsons will be a can
didate again. John won by so wide
margin before that he feels he
wouldn't be doing hardly the fair
thing by his friends if he laid down
with one term.
County Attorney Frank Harrison
who knows? 1t is to be doubted If
Frank himself has made up his mind.
His private practice has grown so and
makes so much demand on his time
and strength that it may decide him
against asking any further political
prefermant; though if he does decide
against running again it will be over
/ the protests of great many, both
democrats and republicans. 1t isn't
at all unlikely that E. r. Byers Of
Williams viii ask for the republican
nomination. Ed was the republican
candidate last time, but then it was
more in the nature of declaration
] that he really would ask election in
! real earnest this fall. So, unless he
/ has changed his mind, that is just
what he will do.
! Mrs. Charlotte S. Acker will ask
reelection as county superintendent OF
schools. Her admirable record justi-
/ fies her and her friends will not be
content unless she does. For this Of
/ flee, also, there very likely will be
republican candidate. Mrs. Myrtle
Miller of Williams, who, though late
in the field, developed a great deal OF
strength at the polls, likely will go
before the veters again this fall,
though The Sun has had no informa-
ton, even indirect, that she will.
Walter Runke, state senator, will
be a candidate for reelection, and he's
definitely entitled to on his record.
1t is understood that I. H. Cureton
Of Williams will be a candidate fol-
Representative on the republican
ticket. He represented Coconino in
the house several years ago and his
many friends are naming him for the
place.
Rumor hath it that Wm. NJ Rudd
has many friends urging him to make
the race for the office of sheriff on
the republican ticket. Billy made
good while a deputy on the job under
Sheriff Campbell and is popular with
the populace. 1T is possible that
Frank Patton will again dump his hat
in the ring for sheriff alsof he has
come close to the nomination twice.
s. o. Thompson is mentioned but no
one knows whether he feels like TAX
ing another shot at it or not. He was
splendid officer while deputy. Jack
Kester is another mighty good bet as
a candidate on the republican ticket
for sheriff. He is a pioneer rancher,
straight shooter as we'll as square
shooter and would make a cracking
good county official.
Frank Harrison is being "nomin-
ated" by his friends for the superior
judgeship, but he won't make any re-
marks about it. Judge F. w. Per-
ESins may be persuaded to make the
race for the iudgeship; he held it sue.
cessfuIiy for a number of years.
Lewis Benedict is being exposed for
the office Of county treasurer on the
republican ticket. "Ben" has all the
necessary ability, the confidence Of
the people and a large gathering OF
friends who would like to see him step
in and look the game over.
In district one, Bert Cameron is
spoken of as candidate and will be
urged to run, with J. G. Brown and
]. w. Etter possible candidates, for
district two.
1t is reported that Representative
Harry Embach will not run for the
lower house on the democratic ticket
again this year; but he may change
his mind about it later. This year Co
conino county will have two members
of the lower house on account of the
increased vote last election. 1t is
suggested that Judge Perkins may be
induced to fill the place on the re-
publican ticket for the house from the
east end of the county with Tom Cure
ton as his running mate.
This makes fairly good working
list for this early in the season but
we expect there will be many more
show up as the primary election time /
