The meeting of the executive com g mittee on Saturday fixing the assess ments and arranging the schedule for d the campign will probably bring the -t politicians out of their hiding. The n committee has arranged for a short d: campaign which will meet the appro val of the people generally. Up to this time there is only one e candidate, Hon. Godfrey Harmon, an-1 t nounced for the legislature. It is s probable that the other two members, Hon. C. T. Wyche and Hon. Arthur a Kibler, will stand for reelection but e they have not up to this time intimat 0' e'. that they would. It is whispered that former State senator, Hon. Geo. S. Mower, will enter the race for the legislature and Major Frances W. Higgins will also probably be a can didate. There may be others. It gen erally happens when the candidates are slow in announcing that at the windup there are quite a numbei. sl Judge of Probate F. M. Schumpert will be opposed by Mr. B. B. Leitzsey. n The probability is that county treas urer, Mr. Jno. L. Epps, and County Auditor Eugene S. Werts will have no opposition. Except magistrates that is about all of the offices to be filled this year. There beems to be quite a number of gentlemen in the various magister -'al districts who are willing to serve as magistrate. All indications, how ever, point to a -very quiet and unin teresting campaign. The pr- ition- of representative in the legislature is a very important one and should be filled by men of ability and experience -if possible to se'cure the service of such men.
