Audubon county Republicans re-
nominated Nels P. Hoegh for Super
visor because he thoroughly under
stands the duties expected of him, and
has always fulfilled them. There is
no office in the gift of the people of a
county in which the farmers have a
more direct interest than that of Su.
pervisor. 1t is the Supervisor who
controls and directs in all matters re-
quiring an appropriation of the peo-
Piles money. The roads and bridges
of Audubon county would not have
been kept up to such high standard
of excellence, were it not for the fact
that Nels P. Hoegh has seen that the
money was judiciously expended.
Voters of Audubon county are anxious
to continue him in office for another
term.
