FALL ELECTION
But, In the county and state
fields, the quantities are large
ly unknown. And. therein lie
those imponderable actor
which make OF all elections the
most fascinating Of CANDLES for
the gentlemen who have been
bitten by the political bug.
JOHNSTON?
Prosecuting Attorney Ivan A.
Johnston, veteran Of two terms
az the county's chief law en-
fcrcsment officer, has indicated
that he will not seek . third
term. It IL generally under
stood that his chief assistant,
Wilbur F. Held. will enter the
COP lists In his stead. Just
what Johnston will do. and he is
admittedly smart, capable and
popular, IL not yet known. His
friends intimate, however. that
he may bs induced TO seek the
mantle of dignity which now
cloaks the shoulders of State
Senator Gilbert I. Isbister. John

A TOUGH SCRAP
In the race for sheriff "Big
Jake" Theut, now In his first
term, is generally considered a
certainty to seek . second term
of residence at No. ! Broadway.
Mount Clemens, Sheriff Theut, q
picturesque. and popular officer,
is considered q cinch to offer all
corners q tough, and a rough.
battle. That his predecessor,
Robert c. Havel, will take an
other crack at the Off e he held
for four years, Is expected.
Smiling Bob" made q host of
friends during his dual terms
and, it is well known, enjoyed
his public service immensely.
Another run-on between Theut
and Havel would be certain to
be feature attraction in any
mans election.
PROBABLE CANDIDATES
That incumbent office hold
ers in general will seek election
appears probable: County Clerk
Guy L. Brown (R), Treasurer
Carl B. Branderburg (D), Reg

(D), Drain Commissioner George
T. Smith (D), and q host of
others like, and will seek to re.

All in oil, from the distance
of several months ION all but
township and city elections) it
appears that 1912 may be q
humdinger in political activities.
The list of entrants Is expect

petitions draw near. There's
more money in circulation, stiff
