plow's draft was thus shown to he very
light.
Not only are the State officials
very lazy but they are great blunderers.
County Clerk Nottorf was compelled TO
return to Auditor Prather twice the
railroad assessment of this county
before it was correct and balanced.
When 1t came back from the auditor
the second time Prather wrote boor-
ish letter, i'll spelled and miserably con.
structed dramatically, saying he

any further mistaken Ideas you may be

township, whose candidacy is an
nounced in this issue. Mr.. Little has
been resident Of Hope township for
seven years, he has done excellent
work for the party on the stump in past
