ABOUT SlN lHOuSdllQ QOlldTS, ana the
people Of the county had right to
say what should be done with these
profits, whether they should get them
or not. Some people said the tax
feature OF the Brice Bill was punish
m@nt on counties voting out the dis
penSary Where was the punish
ment: One-half mill tax is to be
used and expended under and by di-
rection OF the governor. and If it was
not all used iOr the purpose OF cn1"rc-
ing the law in such counties, the bal
ance was returned 10 that county and
there used for ordinary county pur-
poses. Should any county object to
paving for the enforcement OF the
law within it's own borders? Should
Newberry's school fund be applied
for the enforcement of the dlspensary
laws in Charleston and Columbia? The
dispensary law was not enforced pos
sibly as it should be in all particulars.
but even with its imperfections it was
the best solution OF the whiskey ques-
ton yet devised.
Mr.. Dominick discussed education
at some length, and then touched on
good roads, He opposed taxation o.
bonding for good roads in the presen>
condition OF the county. The county
was now about $4,000 in debt. 1t
had been mentioned that there was
half mill more levy this year thar
last year for county purposes, and it
was held this was mistake. This ad-
ditional half mill levy ought to hell
the county some. 1t had been said
that the county always disposed of
it got in some way. He saw no rea-
son TO discuss a matter of this kline
The various reports submitted to Il
people showed what had been done
with the county's money and spol
for themselves But taxes were GER
tainly high enough now. and while he
favored good roads, he didn't believe
the people at the present time could
bear the burden OF taxation for the
purpose OF building them.
AS to the labor contract law. he
favored going a little further than
the last Legislature had gone. and the
indexing OF all contracts in the clerk.
office By this means a farmer could
go to the clerks office and look into
the matter OF labor contracts in the
same manner as he looks into mort
agages. and the people would be pro-
tected. What they needed was pro.
lection along this line.
The speaker was opposed 70 com
pulsory education. He believed il;
education and lamer:ed the fact that
there were twenty thousand more
negroes than white children enrolled
in the public schools OF the state lass
year. The white children OF the state
ought to be educated but it was with
the parents to see to it that they took
advantage OF all the opportunities O!
tered to secure an education.

only contempt for those who deliberate

COUNTY TREASURER.
Ed. n. Davis was nominated for coun'
ty treasurer. His nomination came as q
surprise to himself and the people ofthe
county generally. Mr.. Davis is at the
present time our efficient and fearless
county assessor, and was candidate foi
that position, to which he would have
been nominated with whoop. The
minds OF republicans had generally SET.
tied upon n. b. Streeter as the nominee
for county treasurer, but just before the
convention Mr.. Streeter announced that
he would not accept the nomination, be.
ing prevented by the pressure of his
private business. Mr.. Davis thorough
work as assessor Immediately recon-.
mended him for the place and at the
earnest solicitation of republicans he
consented to accept the nomination.
Mr.. Davis was born in the harbor oil
Portland, Maine. He was educated in
the public schools of Portland, and took
special commercial course in Toronto
Canada. He came TO South Dakota in
1869, locating in Yankton county. In
1873 ne came to the Black Hills. He
has served thirteen years as county as
sessor, four years in Meade county, four
years in Stanley county, four years in
this county, and one year as deputy In
Lawrence county. He engaged in farm.
ing and stockraising in the Black Hillt
in 1882, and has been and now is so en-.
gagged, although for the last seven years
he has given some attention to prospect.
ing and mining. He now owns and oc.
cupies a farm two and one-half miles
from Custer City.
As assessor Mr.. Davis made an enyi.
able record 1t is true that certain in.
dividuals are dissatisfied with him, but
that is because as assessor he has com.
PEELED the listing of property that here
tofore had escaped assessment. Under
Mr. Davis the assessment of the county
has been increased over forty per cent
This is not due to the increased amount
of property in the county, but due to
Mr.. Davis vigilance as assessor. His
books are models of neatness and accur.
acy, and we may expect the same dill.
gence and thoroughness when he as
sumes the duties of treasurer. He will
make vigorous tax collector. IT is ab.
solutely necessary that taxes be collect
ed. The enemies that Mr.. Davis has
are those that are opposed to the thor
ough and fearless manner in which he
has done his duty The people of the
county "love him for the enemies he
has made" There is no discount on Ed
Dayis. He knows neither friend nor
enemy in the discharge of his oaicial
duty All will be treated with equal
courtesy, but none will receive special
fayors.

COUNTY AUDITOR.

The nominee for auditor is the present
incumbent Of that Office, William A.
Nevin Mr.. Nevin needs no words TO
acquaint the people with him or with
his efficiency as county auditor. Mr..
Nevin ranks with the best auditors this
county has ever had. He is always
obliging and courteous to everyone that
has business in the office, and it matters
not how much business is pressing for
attention, when a caller desires to do
business in the auditors Office, every
thing else is dropped by Mr.. Nevin and
his time and ability are exclusively at
the service of the caller. Democrats and
republicans alike are friends of Billy"
Nevin, as shown by the fact that no
democratic nomination was made for
auditor.

COUNTY SHERIFF.

For county sheriff Chas. Ennis was
nominated. Mr. Ennis was born in
Marquette county, state of Wisconsin, in
1862 In 1879 he first came to South Da-
kota, and has been in the Hills ever since
first coming to the state, except couple
of years in which he was in Wyoming.
From the time he first struck the state
until in 1890, he was employed in that
exclusive occupation of 'cowpuuching. +"
In 1890 he embarked in farming and
s:ockraising in Custer county and has
been SO employed ever since. He now
lives on a farm near Bakerville. Mr..
Ennis has served the county as deputy
sheriff for four years, and served our
Uncle Samuel as Forest Ranger for four
years. AS deputy sheriff he was vigi-
liant peace officer, attentive to business
and insistent that the law be respected
and obeyed. He is quiet and unas-
suming man but possesses that steady
determination that will make him good

REGISTER OF DEEDS

For register of deeds the republicans
have nominated Henry E. Way, who
to his friends and acquaintances is known
as Harry Way. Mr.. Way was born and
educated in London, England. In Janu-
airy, 1885, he anchored in Custer county
and engaged in farming and stockrais-
ing, which he followed until 1898. Since
then he has been engaged in mining and
assaying, and the treating of ores. For
two years he was employed as travelling
salesman for Scott & Bovine, manufac-
turing druggists of New York City. In
1908, be engaged with the Horseshoe
Mining company in the cyanide plant Of
that company. In August, last year, he
met with an accident that has totally
incapaciated him from physical labor
since. While so employed he suffered a
fall of about thirty feet, which injured
his spine, and produced for time total
paralysis ofthe lower limbs Gradually
he has been regaining the use of his
legs, until now he can get about with
the assistance OF a couple Of canes. His
physical disability will in no way dis
qualify him for the performance of the
duties of the Office to which he has been
nominated. Mr. Way is good penman
and is systematic and methodical and
will make an efficient officer.

THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.

We are giving this week brief refer
ence TO the republican county ticket as
nominated at the recent convention.
For the most part it is unnecessary to
Introduce any Of the nominees to the
public. They are well known, either
from having before served as county of.
ficers or from long residence in the
county. The CHRoN1cLE can truthfuly
say that it has no apologies to offer, or
defenses to make of single man on the
roster. The ticket is exceptionally
strong and clean, and this remark we
eau make with the same degree of sim
cerity of the legislative ticket. No one
need look to the democratic list to find
better man nominated than will be
found on the republican ticket. He is
not there. There is no real reason for a
republican scratching his ticket this
year, and the CHRONICLE does not believe
that republicans will do it. The utmost
harmony and good feeling prevails
among republicans which is good
omen of republican victory. We have
no bricks to throw at the gentlemen on
the democratic ticket. They are gentle
men, but not every gentlemen can have
an Office. The Offices are too scarce. If
republicanism means anything it means
in part, that competent and honest re-
publicans are entitled to the support of
republicans. We claim that this county
s republican county. This claim is
regarded suspiciously when it is seen
that more than half of the offices of this
county are filled by democrats. 1t is up
to republicans to decide whether or not
that condition is to continue after the
first of next January.
