Politics Warmnig Up and Fever Siezes a Few Candidates.

Politics are beginning to warm up and it will not be long until the candidates will begin to swarm. The announcement of the republican organization has caused some stir over the county and the'result is that the names of some good and available men for office are being, discussed. Last week friends of H. W. Marble, of Wheatfiefld, proposed bis name for commissioner from the first district. Whisperings of C. J. Hobbs, of Kersey, for county surveyor, were heard. There was talk of Charles V. May, of Carpenter township, for treasurer, and politics seemed to be a little in the atmosphere. Now Isaac W. Wells, of Barkley town sh ip, has about decided that he will announce his candidacy for the office of sheriff. He looks like the proper kind of timber, and would make a splendid race. There may be many other men Who would like to have office and there is no better time than the present to express themselves, give the voters time to look them over and make it possible to name the very best possible ticket. The start should be made by attending the precinct meetings Saturday, Feb. 7th, and selecting good hustlers for committeemen. Let every republican arrange now to attend these organization conventions.
