Don't count out Hosea Black
well as a candidate for any of
flee.
He has thus far Deen rumored
foi candidacy in the Recorders
Court judge race, the House OF
Representatives, and the Sen

AT the moment he hasn't filed
for any of the offices but he has
come close,
Last week, Blackwell had al
most decided to enter the SEN
ate race and was on the verge of
making his announcement. But
he changed his mind
This week, he nad definitely
decided to enter The House of
Representatives race and his
announcement was ready. But
he changed his mind.
Blackwell's success in garner
ing large vote in the 1856 race
for the House OF Representa-
tivcs makes him d threat in any
race.
So. when politics are hcatcdly
discussed even at this early stage
of the game you can't forget
Hosea Blackwell. Hes still the
darkhorse of county politics and
only after ne has filed will the
candidates who won't have tc
oppose him be able 10 rest easy
The suspense created by
Blackwell's indecisipn as 70
which office he should seek is
providing politicians with that
special thrill that comes with
county politics and elections.
