Hichards for county judK has been brouKht before the iwople of this section of Umatilla county by republican friends of Mr. Kichards, and it is understood that an active cninpaiKH in his behalf will be made in bringing his name before tho primaries. With the understand ing that Judge Marsh will not be a candidate for e-etoction, thus far the democrats have brought forward no prospective candidate. The only oth er candidate mentioned as yet is a lawyer residing at Pilot Kock who is a republican. The eastern part of Umatilla county lias been without representation in the county court since Uockbum retired as con missioncr; and jn view of the fact that the taxable wealth of tlio county is largely centered in this section, it 'proper recognition in this respect is regarded as imiHTiitive. I'olitics should wl and dues not cut' r mater ially into the selection of candidates fur this oilier.
