Candidates For County Offices

CANDIDATES FOR COUNTY OFFICES

THEY'RE GETTING NUMEROUS IN THE DEMOCRATIC RANKS

Fight in Democratic Convention will Probably Occur Over the Office of Sheriff

The candidates for county nominations are getting rather numerous in the democratic ranks, and some pretty good timber are out for nominations.

Of course County Clerk Blum, Register of Deeds C. R. Houston and Prosecuting Attorney John L. Duffy will be renominated by acclamation. They have made good officials and will be accorded second terms.

The fight in the democratic convention will probably be over the office of sheriff. For this office the candidates are, in alphabetical order: Alderman William Clancy of the third ward of Ann Arbor, Joseph Gauntlett, of Milan; Deputy Sheriff Orton F. Kelsey, William Lehman, of Chelsea, and Lester H. Yost, of Ypsilanti. There may be others but they have not definitely declared themselves.

Sylvan has already elected a Lehman delegation, weeks in advance of the convention. It was reported that Mr. Gauntlett had withdrawn from the race, but the York delegation to the convention yesterday vigorously denied this and Mr. Gauntlett himself told the Argus last evening that he was a candidate.

For county treasurer the only name so far heard is that of Supervisor Charles Braun, of Ann Arbor town, and his name has been favorably received.
