Trial Balloons" Tn
 COP. Probate Race
Sweeney, Wrenn, DecicCO Making Strong Bid for
 Nomination; UpsOn May Accept Honor

Usual process of sending up the 'triai balloon" of candidacy for one position or another on the eve of an election found Republicans to- day a-dither over the vacant spot on their ticket where the judge of probate candidate will be named.
 Discounting some of these ''nal- loons,v obviously intended to create discussion tending to advance can- didacy of some "dark horse, in tho trite vernacular of politicians, the seepage would seem to leave Re- publican Town Chairman J. Warren Upson still abroad with his lantern looking for the strongest candidate.
 Upson Favored
 That he, himself, is as good e wheel-horse as any of the present einbroglio of Republican partisanry anent November, has occurred to the town chairman, his friends insist. But that he would undertake ail- other potential defeat at the polls, when his local leadership is in the ascendency in spite of some strange inanipulations of candidates quite recently. Is still c matter of inde- cision with the town chairman.
 Thus, when Republican reporters went a-wooing words of deep sig. Sificance, the town chairman evi- dently capitulated to the extent of agreement that they might let the candidates fall where they may. The more candidates, the more division of opinion; the more division of ppinion among public. the more iike- uhood that Mir Upsons pocket-dele- gates can come up with someone suited to the town chairman for the loust aga,nst the Democratic "mills". The difference between this joust and the public's conception of what 6 Republican Don Quixote might resemble, would be that the Repub- lican candidate could not, in thls instance, ride 6 donkey. This is to |say. without too far.fetched hyper- bole, that there is much less than even chance that c Republican can be elected judge of probate in c city where the Democrats are united, as they will be in the vote for judge of probate.
 Plenty Of Candidate
 So, the Republican observers, hav- ing noted Democratic State Chair man J. Francis Smiths use of Q ! plethora of candidates before the wedding starts, apparently are fol- lowing suit. Which makes for re- petition of the mixture found at the Democratic probate convention, pres- lentation of e veritable galaxy of candidates as front men" for the bowers which finally will be needed.

Guilty Plea to Larceny Charge Also Brings
 $IOO Fine

George Carter, S5, of 2l01 South Main street was sentenced to jail for six months and fined $l00 and costs by Judge Earnest c. Simpson in superior court today when he pleaded guilty to Q charge of lar- ceny.
