The decision to enter the contest came after a large numby of Jackson t, ' K- the Armory brought out a number of avowed and potential candidates wlio were smiling at and shaking hands with those present. Among those present were Attorney A. C. Hough of Orants Pass, who seeks the circuit Judgeship; Victor Bursell, aspirant fo: the state senatorship; William (Far mer B1U Carl of the Applegate. who entertains a desire to go to Salem, and several others who were feeling the public pulse. Earl B. Day. county citizens, irrespective of party affiliations, had urged htm to enter the race. Judge Day assumed the office last August, by appointment of the gov ernor, following the conviction of E H. Fehl of vote stealing, and has since filled the position with dignity and conaervatlveness. His first move was to inject business methods into han dling of county affairs and put a firm foot down upon the constant squab bling that marked the Fehl regime. He restored harmony. Introduced ef ficiency In the handling of relief ap plications, and halted political ax grinding in the courthouse. He re ceived the whole-hearted, support of j Commissioners Billings and Nealon on the restoration of order and introduc tion of sound methods. The result of his efforts shows In the reduced expenditures. Owing to the pressure of county business. Judge Day will make no extended active campaign.

The latest is wimam hoi man of Eagle Point, a member of the "Rogue River Cowboys," whose voice has been wafted over the southern Oregon air many times in the plain tlve ditties of the plains.

Olmscheld have filed to date, Bell under the Democratic banner. Commissioner R. E. Nealon said yesterday he "would make up his mind within the week" as to whnt course he would pursue. Friends of Nealon say he has aspirations to o to the legislature, but Is urged by Grangers and others to run for the com m lsslo ne rsh i p . Nealon was ap -pointed to the office December 31, '1933. when the late John Barneburg resigned. His first months in office were stormy.
