Three-Cornered Battle for Nomination to Three Offices; Candidates in Last Flurry Kossuth county voters will have a chance, next Monday, June 3, to select their favorite party nominees to be pitted against each other in the general election, next fall. Although war news monopolized a great deal of conversational time, general interest in politics was pick' ing up this week, and candidates were swinging into the last lap of a campaign that for the number of entries has exceeded anything hare- tofore witnessed in the county.

This is chiefly due to the fact that the democratic primary has developed in some cases into a three- cornered struggle, while the republicans also are saving several contests for office. The republican contests are not unusual, but the democratic ones are. Democratic Since '32 Since 1932 the voters of Kossuth have favored the democratic party, rolling up sizeable majorities for the candidates on that ticket in both national and state elections. And the vote on county office has followed the same trend. However, this year, contrary to preceding years, every democratic nomination being sought by two or more candidates, with the exception of coroner, supervisor and auditor.

A real fight for the nomination is being made, not only by incumbents, but those seeking to replace them on ticket. The county treasurer race finds two candidates seeking to replace the incumbent on the democratic ticket. M. J. Duffy, treasurer for the past eight years, has opponents in Charles Ost- winkle, who has been delinquent tax collector for several years operating from the treasurer's office, and in Mrs.

Lyle Pugh, Kossuth young lady, who has had several years of experience in the state comptroller's office. On the republican side of the picture, Fred S. Geigel of Irvington and Carl Pearson are competing. Geigel is a prominent Kossuth farmer and made a.strong run for supervisor a while back, and Pearson was formerly a deputy in the treasurer's office. Three-Way Fight Mrs, E.

In the race for sheriff are Art J. Cogley, present deputy sheriff, and Carl Dahlhauser, former sheriff, both democrats. The republican race is three-cornered between A. J. Berens of Bancroft, Alfred Schultz of Algona and Walt Steward of Burt.

Berens farms near Bancroft and his family have been county residents for 60 years. Schultz is an employee of the high way department and Steward is the Burt marshal. Cogley and Dahlhauser are waging strong campaigns. The former has been deputy sheriff for the past four years and formerly lived at Bancroft, but is now located in Algona. Dahlhauser, since serving four years as sheriff, has been running a pool hall in Algona.

The Recorder's Battle For recorder, J. J. Dooley, incumbent, and Mrs. Clara Walker of Algona, are in a two-way contest. Dooley is serving his eighth year as recorder.

Mrs. Walker is a daughter of Nicholas Reding of St. Joe, and has been employed in Alguna. The race is expected to be close. Carlyle Becker is without opposition as the republican nomineo.

State representative and county auditor candidates have no party opposition. Phil Kohlhaas and Theodore Hutchison will carry the democratic and republican banners for representative in the fall, and E. S. Kinsey and E. C.

Hovsy will do likewise for the auditor's position. But the county attorney's position is a different picture. Here the democrats have a three-cornei 1 fight, while two younger republicans a.re also seeking their party nomination. L. A.

Winkel, present county torney, is competing with Alan Brunson, young Algona attorney, and M. McMahon, ex-county attorney, for democratic nomination. Robt. Harrington and H. B.

White are republican candidates for nomination. W. E. McDonald and Dr. R.
