r. j. Andrews naturally feels a
little sore over his defeat for county
treasurer and more particularly at
not receiving only 8 votes in Kimball.
We can assure him, however that
he will relinquish his Office next Jan
uary with tie good will of nine tenths
of the tax payers of the county. We
have yet to hear any mar in Kimball
or elswhere say one word but In his
favor. We do not believe there was
another man in the county besides
Major jenkins that could have defeat
ed him. Andrews and jenkins were
both deserving men, but the former
had had the office two years and the
latter had not. That's all there was
Of it. Therein was the issue and
therein lies the secret of Andrews de-
feat.
Well, now, if there is one faithful
worker in the democratic ranks in our
county, that man is Bob Somers. Bob
is a host and no mistake. A democrat
from principle, whether before or af-
ter the convention, he stands by the
organization and fights for success be-
cause he believes that he is allied to
the party of the people. We know
that this sterling yonng democrat has
worked just as hard for the election
of II ticket as though he had re-
ceived the nomination for sheriff
And whatever of success has attended
lis in this our first pitched battle with
the G. o. p. be it much IT little, Bob is
entitled to a large amount credit, and
he should never be forgotten by the
old liners, even though he should
live to be as old as Methueselah.-
Chamberlain Democrat.
We heartily endorse every word
of the above. From the time that
Bob jumped to his feet in the county
convention and moved that Ryan's
nomination for sheriff be made unan-
imous he has worked INCREASINGLY for
the success of the Democratic tick
