VETERANS MAY BE CANDIDATES Expected That Some Will be Out for Office at May Primaries A number of ex-service men of Linn county are rumored to be casting eyes at the numerous offices to be fill ed here at the coming elections. As practically all the county position have to be filled and as there are three or four hundred veteran here accord ing to the roll of The American Leg ion there is hardljj any doubt but that some of the ex-soldiers will oat ud a contest at the polls in May. The virtual landslides that have. greeted ex -service men in various parts of the country who put their names before the oublic aa asnlranta to public office have not passed un noticed in Albany. Recent return of a soldier candidate for Mayor in Seat tle by an overwhelming majority against an alleged radical contender has caused a great, deal of comment among the political tent inhabited by war veteran. None of the ex-service men her have openly declared themselves aa candidates for office here but it ia ex pected that the break will come short ly as the time for the primaries draw nearer. There arc no veteran of the world war holding public position In Linn county.
