Election Sidelights Writing an election editorial before the ballots are counted would be difficult, so we thought that today we would consider some past county elections. Adams county was organized in 1836, and the first officer appointed was Daniel McKnight, sheriff. He was defeated that August by Zaehariah Smith, who was the first elected sheriff of Adams county. We have had 36 sheriffs, including two or three Whigs, and the rest have all been Democrats, to date. Twenty-one men have served as county clerk, starting with Samuel L. Bugg, who served from 1836 until 1954, the entire time that we were organized under the old constitution. All of the county clerks, it is believed, were Democrats, although the early histories of the county do not give the politics of the candidates. In fact, just a handful of county office holders have been Republican. Os the 33 county coroners, only one, J. Jerome Yager, 1939-43, is known to be a Republican. His- brother,- by- the- way,- L. Luther Yager, is the only known Republican state representative from this area. All of the county assessors, to date, have been Democrats, since 1892; before that, the office was appointive. The office of county treasurer has been Republican more than any other county office— four times, under Waldo Neal, Norval Fuhrman, Roy L. Price, and Hugh D. Hite. Any early county treasurer, James Crabbs, was a Whig. Two county commissioners from the first district —Roland J. Miller and Dale D. Moses, were Republicans. Grant Owens, John Christener, and Stanley Arnold have been Republican commissioners from the second district. The third district has yet to elect a Republican. Vincent F. Kelley, who served as prosecutor from 1941-2, was the only Republican in that office. Virgil F. Bowers, 1947-9, and H. Clay Peterson, 1869-71, were Republican surveyors. County recorders have all been Democrats, too ; Frank Kitson was a Republican auditor, and George A. Dent, 1841-5, was a Wig. Three Republicans have served as circuit court judge — Earl Adams, C. L. Walters, and Jesse C. Sutton. All three were appointed by the governor when a Democrat died in office, and only Sutton, in 1924, was elected to a full term, after serving a couple of years on the bench. - So only handful of local county officials have ever been elected from the junior American political organization, founded in 1854, the Republican party.
