POLITICS.
The Albany correspondent of the
Telegram says:
There is the greatest interest center
ing in the county offices, all of which
a'e to be filled with the exception of
assessor, surveyor, school superintend
ent and County Judge. This leaves the
field open for caudidates who aspire to
the offices of sheriff, county clerk,
treasurer, recorder and commissioner.
So far the principal t)lk has centered
around Bert Templeton, of Brownsville,
and Grant Lindley, of Lebanon, for the
Republicans to choose for the position
of sheriff, while the Democrats have
been talking ot the present incumbent,
O. S. Smith; ex sheriff Worth Huston,
GlenJunkin and F. 0. Stellmacher.
The latter haB also been mentioned m
connection with thecandidacy forcounty
clerk. He has had much experience in
,ha fmn nfiWa named, having served
four years as chief deputy in the clerk's
office and two as chief deputy in the
.harifr'a office. He has a wide ac
quaintance throughout the county,
made possible through his years of
service in a public cabacity. For clerk,
v,. nhnina nt th Rpnnhlicans will prob-
ably be Willard L. Marks, present chief
deputy under County Clerk J. W. Mil-,
ler. He has held this office for the two
years of Mr. Miller s incumoency.
For county recorder, the present in- (
cumbent. Grant Froman, is aspiring to i
succeed himself for a third term. No
opposition has appeared from the Dem-
cra .aVlrK;t
f".! ?. oLi.n,',, nr succeedine
himself . and will probably be unopposed ,
in his party for the primary indorse-
ment. As to the position or. county
commissioner there is.no one mentioned
in either of the two parties. ,
There Beems to be no. interest in this
county at all over the legislative posi
tions to be filled this fall.

CONSIDERED
A FARCE.
The following by the Albany corre
spondent of the Daily Journal, a re
publican, is decidedly timely and the
Democrat gives it as a news item:
Tne Republican party in Linn county
is finding it difficult to adjust itself so
that it will not offend the believers in
the assembly cr those still loyal to the
direct primary law. If the state as
sembly recently held in Portland was a
good thing and of enough consequence
to warrant the selection of delegates to
represent tho Linn county Republicans
there why is it not equally a good thing
to bold a county assembly and there
make recommendations and endorse
candidates for county officers?
In fact, the heads of the 'Republican
party in this county have been much
concerned over the turn affairs have
taken and for a time were even afraid
to elect delegates to the state assem
bly. It took several meetings of the
members of the central committee be
fore this was decided on.
It is obvious to the student of local
political conditions that the electors
of Linn countv do not believe in the
assembly idea and will be inclined to
reject anv and all candidates who re
ceive such indorsement. In fact, the
grange of thii county, which is one of
tne strongest organizations in tnis sec
tion and possibly most to be reckoned
with politically, is unequivocally op
posed to the assembly idea, and its
members declare that they themselves
are able and intelligent enough to
choose candidates to fill the various
state offices without having a slate
prepared by a "bunch" of professional
politicians.
The whole thing is considered a farce
in this county and the members of the
Republican party here as a whole are
far from feeling the enthusiasm aver
the turn events have taken that the
party diet .tors would have the mass
of vott rj in the state believe. In fact,
harmony is one of the things lacking in
the Republican party of Linn county
and this will he evidenced at the polls,
at the primaries, and also at the gen
eral election
