Many Contests for Republican Nominations at the Primary on Tuesday, May 4th

The race, for nomination for county ofTices is now on in earnest with the closing of the lists last Saturday, the tinal day for candidates to file their declarations. Nearly every county office has two or more republican candidates, although there are several notable exceptions. Miss Bessie Diener county clerk, Inis no opposition for renomination, and County Surveyor Orlln B. Weaver is even more fortunately situated, as h'e has no opponent in his own party, and wilj face no opposition from the democratic party as it has failed to place a candidate in the field. Mr. Weaver, in other words, is actually sure of reelection. Walter A. Stauffer of Elkhart, candidate for coroner, is the only other republican who has no opposition, with the exception of several candidates for nomination for county councilman. / Thirty-seven republican candidates have filed for county offices, as against 21 democrats. Probably no more significant fact could be set out as describing the probabilities of the outcome of the election next November. While republicans are fighting for places on the ticket, the democrats were forced to virtually draft candidates to fill their ticket, and not until the very last day of the thirty-day period for filing had there a single democratic candidate for county office filed his declaration. The republican majority in ? the county has been growing so rapidly during the past ten years that nomination on the republican ticket is now generally regarded as the equivalent of an election. Although both of the larger cities in the county elected democratic mayors only four ago there, hasr ’fieerr ncPtenclancy toward democratic control of the county administration. Several New Candidates. Among the last-minute filings on the republican ticket -was that of Mrs. Mertie Croop, wife of County Auditor Charles A. Croop, who is seeking the nomination for the office now held by her husband. She has two opponents, County Commissioner Frank Ellis, of Elkhart, and Theodore Zettler, of Goshen. Another late candidate was Samuel T. Bash, of Elkhart, for state representative, although there is some question as to whether his declaration was filed with the secretary of state in time. A democrative candidate tor representative, George A. Shaffer, of Elkhart, is likewise doubtful if his filing reached Indianapolis in time to be accepted. The largest field is entered in the .republican race for county treasurer are four candidates for the office now held by Roy M. Stark, of Elkhart. They are Dr. Eugene Holdeman, of Elkhart, present coroner, Mrs. Elizabeth Miltenberger, who has been a deputy in the office for the last eight years, and has been in actual charge during the last two years while Mr. Stark has been incapacitated because of illness, Dean Gordon, of Goshen and Harvey S. Bechtel, a well known banker, of Wakarttsa. who filed Saturday. There are also three candidates for the nomination for county recorder. Omer V. Inebnit, deputy under County Recorder David F. Mil'er, Chester R. Leas, of Goshen, and Lawrence Ijeer of New Paris, Wilson H. Rood, of Goshen, who is seeking a third term as county assessor,, has two opponents Chas. A. Riggle of Goshen, and Isaac N. Cliarpie, of New Paris.

There are four candidates for the two places in the state assembly and Sheriff Thomas M. Long, who has served one term of two years, has an opponent in August W. Johnson, an Elkhart polieman, who filed on the last day. For county commissioner there are two candidates from the northern district for the office now held by Frank Ellis, and two from the southern district where Warren S. Cline is a candidate for re-election. There are also five candidates for the three places as county councilmen-at-large and three candidates for. the council from the , fourth district.-- Six of the present seven members of the county council are candidates for reelection, the only exception being B. C. Godfrey -of Elkhart, .whQ..is.now. a. candidate I for commissioner. Few Democratic Contests. On the democratic ticket the con tests are the exception rather than the rule. A Goshen man, M. Ivan Miller, until recently of Elkhart, is a candidate for county treasurer against El ward F. Campbell, of Elkhart, and Dr. Allen S. Hollingsworth and Dr. Herbert C. Schiosser of Elkhart, are candidates for coroner. These are the only contests for the county officers. 'Township tickets, incomplete in some cases, have* been placed in the field in every one of the sixteen townships in the county by the republicans, -and in ‘fourteen of the townships by the democrats. The democrats are coneeding township control to the republicans in Cleve land and Washington townships. In some of the townships, notably Concord and Elkhart, . there will be 'spirited“ contests for bffice7 if the

number of candidates is to be taken as evidence. A deluge of filings came Into the office of the county clerk all day Saturday and there were filings up to the last minute when the office closed. Candidates for precinct committeemen were filed by County CUa.i: man. Aide Siny-son, republican, and Clell E. Firestone, democrat, foi nearly every one of the seventy-five precincts in the county, in only a very few instances are there contests for this office; The precinct committeemen will be elected at the primary elections, and on the Saturday following the primaries the new committeemen will meet and form new county political organizations.

Millions of Dollars Lost By Investors Every Year Because of Misplaced Confidence

Parent of Languages Sanskrit Is the ancient classical tongue of the Hindus, and the oldest preserved form of Aryan, or Indo-Eu-ropean, language In existence. It ceased to be spoken about the Fourth century B. C., and Is preserved only in the Hindu sacred writings. Sanskrit Is the parent of all the modern Aryan languages of India, and the language most closely related to the original tongue of the ancient Aryans, from which have descended the Celtic, Graeco-Latin, Teutonic, Slavonic and Persian languages. Sanskrit literature, which begins with the Vedas, extends back as far as 2000 or 1500 B. C. Sanskrit Is still cultivated as a classical language by the Hindus, and memains the sacred language of the Brahmans. —Kansas City Star.
