THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Fall River county never held more
enthusiastic and harmonious conven-
tion than that of last Saturday, and we
doubt if ever better ticket, from
head to foot, has been placed be-
fore the people for their suffrage.
Those demopops who were gloating
over the hope that the convention
would not express itself upon the
questions at issue were set to flight,
and they now realize, if they did not
before. that they have a noble band of
patriots to battle-an invincible band.
The ticket is made up of candidates
from various parts of the county, SO
we'll distributed that every locality is
perfectly satisfied, and when the con-
vention was over there was more sat
isfaction over local republicanism than
there was when it was called to order.
j.. +. McClung, of Edgemont, an able,
honorable attorney, was chosen for
member of the legislature. He is
splendidly qualified for the honorable
position and will do the county proud
at Pierre next winter. He will be
heard from during the campaign.
A splendid selection for sheriff was
made in Nat H. Dryden. He resides
in Cheyenne river precinct; is a hard
working, enterprising, ranchman; is
alert, active and bright, and will make
a model sheriff.
John L. Burke will continue in the
Office of county treasurer. With the
magnificent record that he has made
in the collection of taxes during such
hard times, with the records in elegant
shape, making his regular reports to
the people in such concise, intelli.
gent manner, who will have the cour-
age to oppose him at the polls?
w. w. Smithson, the . Oelrichite,
has SO efficiently attended to the aud
itor's office that he has been promoted
to that of register of deeds, and being
one of the boys who wore the blue. he
is we'll worthy of this honor.
Judge Juckett will continue US judge
of probate-the position he now holds
by appointment. He is good one
an honorable one and can't be beaten.
Walter Anderson will serve right
along as states attorney, for when a
person has served the people we'll and
faithfully one term they should be re
tained, and Walter has a sure cinch on
another term.
Ed. L. Clark captured the nomina.
tion for clerk of the courts, and is
about as popular throughout the coun-
ty as one could desire. Demopops will
hesitate to accept nomination to op.
pose him.
For auditor, Will H. Stanley, city
editor of the STAR, and if he can hustle
votes as hard as he can hustle after
news and about a print shop we shall
not fear the result. If his opponent is
as hard worker and as competent.
the office of auditor is certain of hay-
ing a good man at the helm.
Mrs. WI. Thornby was named for
superintendent of schools. There is
probably no one better qualified for
the position in the Black Hills. She
is splendidly educated lady, pleasing
energetic and bright. She will do
much toward bringing the schools of
the county up to the best in the west.
Mr.. James loops, of Smithwick, will
do the assessing for the nexttwo years,
and being capable, hustling, young
man, he will do the Office proud.
Albert Utter, of Edgemont, is sur.
veyor of high qualifications, and as
county surveyor will do what is re.
quired of him correctly.
DIR. N. G. Whitfield, the veteran of
the war who is surgeon of the soldiers
home, has had several years experience
as coroner, and will be lust the man
for the place.
The justices of the peace and con-
stables also have excellent qualifica.
tions for the duties of those Offices.
The nominee for county commits.
