Mr. Sullivan Is the Republican candi.
dae in this district for the council, An
effort to obtain from him a few facts of
his life has up to the time OF going to
press proved unsuccessful. We are
obliged. therefore, to sketch him as we
have known him, or of him, since his
arrival in Plankington some five years
ago, at which place he has been engaged
in practicing law. He was elected re.
preventative from this district two years
ago, although he was defeated in both
his own county and in Brule. In Auro-
ra county he has many warm friends and
mary bitter enemies. In the legislature
he was conspicuous for helping obtain
an appropriation for a reform school at
Plankinton, assisting Mitchell to get tho
United States court and in defeating
Kimball's county seat aspirations. His
friends claim that he voted against the
repeal of the misdemeanor clause Ct the
usury law. Those opposed to him assert
that while that may be true it is also true
that he opposed every other measure for
the benefit of the farmers.
Mr.. Sullivan is a young man. probably
about 80 years of age.
j.. c. RYAN.
This clever young man who is keeping
MIR. Sullivan awake nights over in Auro-
ra county, proposes to be a member OF
the COUNCIL. Mr.. Ryan was born and
raised in Allamakee county, Iowa. He
was 33 years Of age on the 18th day of
October last. lie obtained a good edu-
cation and was for q long timc deputy
clerk OF his native county. He has
studied law more or less sincc his school
days and practiced some after locating
upon a farm near White Lake in the
spring of 81. Most of his time, however,
up to 1888 was passed as an employee of
the Mitchell Bank. In that year the
White Lake Bank was organized with
Mr.. Ryan as president. a position which
he now holds. He is one Of the regents
OF the Dakota University at Fermillion.
He is very popular at home and where
ever known, and when The ballots are
counted it will be found that he has
polled 3 big vote all ovcr the district.
We know OF no reason why he wouldn't
make q good representative-certainly he
couldn't hurt Kimball as badly as Mr..
Sullivan did, two years ago, if he should
try.
