The Canton advocate. [volume] (Canton, D.T. [S.D.]) 1877-1897, 1884-10-02

The county will do well in selecting one of
these men. As individual candidates for
the council from Lincolnrounty they are
working for but one end, the overthrow
of the removal element, and the two can
dldates that will have to step back for
the elevation of the third, whoever he
may be, need feel no pangs of defeat, but
rather that his interest has become victor
ious and his issue the one that floats sup
rene. The representatives from the anti
Jerauld element who arc now placed for
ward for nomination are G. B. Kennedy,
T. Fl. Treat and F. r. Aikens.
G. B. Kennedy is an attorney of this
city, and was one of the very first to urge
unifcation and undivided assistance and
work in the turtherance of the South Da-
kota principle that became victorious at
the Pierre convention. A, prominent
practitioner in the courts Of Iowa and Da-
kota, he has gained wide acquaintance
that would materially assist in the compile
ton of ideas for the advancement of Lin
coin county's interests Where a man is
successful in his private business, he can
but be successful in anything undertake
en-, and glance at the amount of trans
actions and business enterprises Of the
Kennedy Bros would bring out the fact
that with G. B. Kennedy in the council
the interests of Lincoln county would be
concerned, equally at least with those of
Bismarck and North Dakota. Lincoln
county would do well to select c. B. Ken
nedy as its member Of the territorial coun-
Gil.
Frank H. Treat, who has always fought
the faction that became victorious two
years ago, looms up as a promising candl-
date for councilman, and the opposition
can say nothing against him except that
he is postmaster at Lennox. Frank would
look after the interests of Lincoln county
frst-Dakota next.
Frank R. Aikens was hard worker
and rendered valuable assistance in the
advancement of South Dakota at the last
convention. A man of acknowledged leg
al and oratorical ability, and one to be re-
lied upon, he would represent Lincoln
county in manner that would do credit
to himself and the county
G. W. Harlan is also candidate for
the council. The Captain was once
member of the territorial legislature from
Dakota, and has held several positions Of
public trust during his thirteen years res
ldence in Lincoln county
In the selection Of Il house member care
should be taken that none Of the ilk rep
us four years ago should be tol-
Grated. A man who fought Canton and
Lincoln county from the start, at Yankton,
md who by questionable methods of mis-
eading, secured veto OF all bills intro
luced and passed for Lincoln county, him
elf and followers should be relegatetl to
,erditIon.
The candidacy Of B. c. Jacobs for coun-
y treasurer assumes promising proper
ions, and it now looks like friendly field
contest between Jacobs and Dean. Mr.
)ean will have a strong following, and
whether it is Jacobs or Dean, the people
# Lincoln county may rest satisfied with
'eing well represented
Nels. jacobson seems to have the lead
or register of deeds, although Filing still
riends who would like to see him re-nom-
mated. The Scandinavian support will
e divided between jacobson and Opsal,
With the former in the lead,
There is friendly contest tor the Office
f superintendent of schools between W.
J. Benedict, J. Allibone and f. S. Beck.
Who the successful man will be, none can
ell, each having a following that would
10 any man proud
For the Office of sheriff there appears
7. NJ. North, a. p. Dixon and A. Repp
ule is the present sheriff, but when a.
,. Dixon is on the track, pas. results
would lead to the prediction that some
'ody's scalp must suffer-Dick being a
tayar from way back
