ALBANY: - Linn "county vot

et on which to' write their cross
for:, their . favorite candidate this
year j In the . May primaries, as
terms of only three county of
fices do not expire In January!
1845. E.. G. Arnold, county judge,
elected for six years, will continue
tor hold his office until 1949; H.
A Rennihger,- senior county com
missioner, is In until 1947; and
Harlow Wienrick, district attor
ney, jwill continue to hold office
until 1 1947. All three were elected
on j the republican ticket
Herbert Shelton, who has held
the office; of sheriff since 1927,
stated Monday that he would not
be a candidate to succeed himself.
His term expires In January, 1945.
Shelton is the first of those whose
terms are expiring to make public
his Intentions, regarding his candi
dacy. He was elected on the dem
ocrat ticket . ' ': .- - ' -
:f Other officials whose terms ex
pire January 1, 1945 are R. M
Russell, county clerk; W. C Tem
pleton, i county ; assessor: - Stella

non-partisan ticket One Is that of

' So 'I far there has been " little
mention of prospective candidates
or j of incumbents coming out 'for
reelection, . but most likely when a
good ; old - soaking ' Oregon ram
comes along,' politicians will be
gin to get a thrill out of the
coming primary, and will warm
up to telling about their favorite
candidate or of the one they : are
"not going to vote for."
