The sero hour for candidates seek-
lng places on the official ballot at
the general election in November ar
rived here Tuesday evening with eight
local residents seeking office. There
are only six offices to be filled and
one man is a candidate for two of
the municipal positions.
He la W. F. Walker, present Justice
of the peace and winner ot the nomi
nation in the primary election. Mr.
Walkre has also thrown his hat into
the mayorality race with W. P. Tyson,
present Incumbent. who seeks re-elec
tion for a full term.
Other candidates are W. C. Mc
Lagan, Fred Frese and C. E. Wheaton,
all of whom seek places on the city
council. There are two vacancies.
I. M. Peterson and Grace May both
seek election as city recorder, and
Wm. O. Hughes is a lone candidate
for city treasurer.
Short Term Vacancies
All of the vacancies are for short
term* excepting the two council poets,
which are for four year* each. The
mayorality office, about which moat
of the local political interest la ex-
pected to center, is to be filled for
a two year term. The present holder
of the office was elected to that post
from the council by action of that
body following the death last fall ot
C. O. Wilson. State law provides for
such procedure and stipulates further
that the office shall be filled by aa
elected resident at the next general
election for the balance of the un
expired portion of the term. Mayor
.Wilson had served one year and
Tyson has served one year.
McKlln Net Candidate
W. C. McLagan is the only candi
date for the city council seeking re-
election. He was elected two years
ago for a short term and has now
announced his intention of seeking
one of the four year term*. Fred
Freee and C. E. Wheaton are also
seeking a tonr year council office.
The terms of McLagan and M. J.
McKlln both expire in January. Mc
Klln. who was choeen to MU the place
on the council made vacant by the
elevation of Tyson when he became
mayor, has said that he will not he
