that the democrats are meeting in
war councils constantly, here ano
there, making their war plans and
picking their chiefs and candi-
dates. The grapevine messages
report progress and that by Sat-
urday night, a full list of candi-
dates will have filed. Already
Judd Matkins, one of the veteran
warriors of the Democratic tribe
has filed for county commissioner
handing his fee to Niels Madsen
Tuesday afternoon. He is the Sec
ond democrat to file, John Palu-
bicki having filed for Clerk & Re-
corder last week.
The grapevine reports are to the
effect that N. ]. Nelson, merchant
of Outlook, and Gus Riba of Plen-
tywood will file for State Senator.
If Nelson throws his hat in the
ring for Senator, Gus Riba will
file for the legislature. Along with
Gus will be J. o. Johnson of Med
icine Lake, and maybe, Ray Lang,
thus making a three cornered race.
For sheriff, John ]. Courtney Of
Antelope will be, it is said, the
candidate. Courtney has a host of
friends and folks say he would be
a formidable candidate this fall.
For county treasurer, there are
two candidates mentioned - Fred
March and John Mckee. Both are
qualified for the office, whether
they will draw cuts or both run.

sor, Geo. Mccoy will probably be
the man. He is an old timer, has
a host of friends and is eminently
qualified. For county attorney.
there is no one else than J. J.
Gunther. Gunther was county at
torney once before, knows the
ropes, is one of the pioneer set
tiers of this section, has forgotten
more law than L. J. Onstad or
Grant Blackwell ever knew and is
honest, which is saying something.
VI course it is a sort of come
down to run for Judge and then go
out for county attorney, but since
Onstad has set the precedent, he
should worry. Of course Gunther
has Erickson to beat. But if he
should do that, there will be the
consolation that he has not a
whole bunch of hangers-on to put
next to the public breast in the
way of such cripples as Wagner.
or family of boys TO support at
public expense. For county cor
oner, Harry Sparkling will be the
candidate, it is said. No candidate
has been mentioned for public adj
mlnlstrator on either ticket. In
brentwood the office of Justice
Of Peace is sought after, but
whether there will be democratic
candidates is not known.
The most interest on the repub-
lean ticket revolves about the can
1ldacies for sheriff, commissioner
and attorney. The fight between
hans Madsen and Max Hueth is
low conceded to be a toss up. but !
