With the Republican state con-
vention scheduled for Saturday,
NAV 9, and the Democratic state
for May %, John Public
is beginning to awake to the TACT
that while politics is as yet luke
warm. there remain but six short
months until the general election,
and that these months Will be
crammed with political maneuver-
ing, ballyhoo and oratory.
Since no candidate can file for
Office until July 10, many who m
tend to seek public Office this fall
are keeping in the background,
watching the political barometer
while others are allowing their
names to be mentioned as possible
candidates, and gauging their pos
sible strength before laying down
their filing fee.
AS a. general rule, it is conceded
that all incumbent officers this year
will be candidates for reelection,
while the opponents, both in their
own party and in other parties,
are still problematical. AS the stu
alton stands today, with the Dem
ocrats putting all their eggs in one
basket and betting everything they
have on Roosevelt to win a second
term in the White House, the Re
publicans are studying their pros
pective candidates before picking
their standard bearer. Landon TO-
dav is strongest, but Borah ant
!. Knox are running a close secont
: and third, with Vandenberg hold

of dark horse. And always IN the
BACKGROUND is the former president,
Herbert Hoover.
Although no announcement has
vet been made, it is taken LOT
granted that Knute Hill will seek
reelection as Congressman from
the 4th district on the Democratic
ticket. There is considerable opposl-
ton to his candidacy, and while no
opponents have yet declared them
selves in his own party, it IS prac-
tically a sure bet that there Will be
one or more before long. On the
Republican side, John Flanagan OF
Yakima, former county commits
sioner, is making a strong bid Tor
the nomination. His first opposition
came this week in an announce
ment by H. G.. West Of Walla Walla'
executive president OF the In
land Waterways association, that ne
is likewise a candidate for the Re-
publican nomination.
The state situation is considerably
befuddled, with vast number OF
probable office seekers allowing thel1
names to be whispered hese a11c
there while few have come out az
actual candidates. Governor Martl1
will undoubtedly seek reelection OF
the Democratic ticket. That he VII
be opposed for the nomination !
sure, but his opponents are ques
tionable. George Cannon, recenJl.

Wagner Hits First Home

Fence

While his mates were pounding
out fourteen hits, Fields, Toppenlsh
hurler, held the Hanford-Wh1te
Bluffs aitters in check with six scat
tered hits to win a 1875 game at
Toppenish Sunday. It was the Sec
ond league defeat for the locals,
dropping them to fifth place, ana
boosting Toppenish into a tie Tor
third place.
Fields started the first inning IN
shaly fashion, allowing two walks
and hitting one batter before hnd-
ing his control and forcing the next
two men out. With the bases loaded,
Salvini drove out a nice Texas
Lacquer, scoring three runs, ana
scored himself when Hartman poled
out a long drive. AS Toppenlsh tried
to catch Salvini at the plate, Hart
man started to third but was tagged
out, ending the rally.
Wagner started in the same 1ash-
ion on the mound for the locals,
hitting one batter and giving Two
tr~inles and a double which brought
in four runs to even the score.
Hartman relieved him, but the Top
nenish hitters continued their spree.
getting eleven more hits N tne
next seven innings.
There was no doubt that it was
an off day for the locals, whose poor
fielding contributed to Toppenlshs
hitting spree while Fields las
breaking ball kept the locals iron

drive which cleared the center tlels
