As a result the campaigning insofar as local offices is cancemed will be carried on by the Democrats, chances being good that those who are to be elected will be chosen at the July 11 primary. In only one instance is there a chance for final selection to go into ar a later election, that of the commissionership. Three candidates are in the field for the Democratic nomination for that post. Orval Peterson, incumbent, was the first to file, listing his name earlier this month. Two others, Irvin Gerber of Wellington and George Mnaousos, of Price, filing their candidacies for nomination yesterday. Mr. Gerber Is a e resident of Carbon county, has been engaged in farming for many years and been closely identified with Irrigation operations in the area.

He is president of the Greek Democratic club of Eastern Utah, having served a number of terms in that post. He is a veteran of the first World War. Two incumbents have no competition, County Attorney Ed Sheya and Commissoiner William Campbell, and appear assured of election. Mr. Campbell is a candidate for the four-yecommissioner-ship.- -One other candidate also faces no opposition, Frank Bonacci, former member of the house of representatives, who filed for the Democratic nomination for that post in the first district. Two candidates filed for the Democratic nomination for the house of representatives in the second district, Emmett Olson of Price and Jack Allen of Wellington. Mr. Olson is engaged in the mining business, has been occupied in that field of operation for a number of years, his interest being in what is known as a wagon mine.
