Lyle Thomas, state representative, publicized the fact this week that he would make his Intentions known within the next few days, a state ment taken by some as definite assurance 'that he would again be in the race. Thomas already has one' oppon ent in Mrs. Joe Rogers, Sr., all set and ready for the primaries. From the democratic side of the fence there has been whisperings but nothing concrete to work on. Among the county offices, aid there are several on the block for disposal by the voters, the situation appears to be somewhat muddled, There are indications, however, that there is likely to foe some spirited competition for the office of coun ty judge, now held by Herman Van Well. Tracy Staats, an old time demo crat is first in the field with a challenge to the Incumbent if he decides to again contest the office. Van Well has not said yes or no and is biding his time In the mat ter. Frank E. Kersey, republican candidate, is a certain starter for the county judge spot. Some - of the experts have pooh-poohed the idea but Kersey is certainly flirt ing with the prospects with the .thought of election and those who have his confidence are predicting that he is likely to file any old time. Fred Gibson, whose term, as coun ty commissioner expires this year, is non-committal. Gibson indi cates he plans to give the matter very serious consideration and will not show his hand for the time being at least.
