Where the nominees for Justice OF
the Peace and Constable were not filed
with the auditor, and therefore their
names do not appear on the ballot, you
can vote for them by writing or pasting
their name and precinct together with
the name of the office, on the blank
snace at the bottom of your ticket. do
not forget to make cross after the
name.
In regard to the matter about Mr..
Nordvke holding second grade certi-
ficate we will say that two out of three

SIGN it. State Superintendent Bean
held that two members of the board

issued accordingly. These are the facts
we leave you to draw your own con-
illusions.
