SHERIFF BOOINE DECIDES
NOT TO BE CANDIDATE
Definitely Announces Deeision;
Joe Frum and E. M. Kendall
May Be Candidates
Sheriff I). H. Bodine this morning
announced that ,he would not be a
candidate for reelection in the com
ing primaries which w:ll he held next
June. Mr. Bodine would make no
comments as to why he will not run
again, but stated that he has other
phin in view which will prevent him
from making the race again.
Mr. Bodine is serving his third term
as sheriff of the county and has giv
en good satisfaction as a peace
officer and has filled the office of
tax collector with efficiency.
Mr. Bodine comes from a pioneer
Linn county family, wa born not far
from Albany and is well known in all
;arts of the county. His decision not
to be a candidate again will be re
ceived with regret by many of his
friend' who have urged him to make
the campaign.
With Mr. Bodine out of the race
the question as to who will succeed
.him arises. So far there are but two
prospects in view. One is C. M.
Kendall, who waui defeated n t'
maries last year and who served as
a deputy under Sheriff Bodine at one
time.
The other i Joseph R. Frum. of
Lebanon, the present well known dep
uty in the office. Mr. Frum has re
ceived many encouraging assurance
from a large number of republican
leaders, but has not yet definitely
decided to enter. ,It is genrally un
derstood, however, that he will be an
active candidate.
Tt is not known who will be the
nominee on the Democratic ticket,
no or having come forward up to
the present.
Del Smith has, iaowever. been men
tioned as a possible candidate.
