Voters of Aberdeen: At the solici-

become a candidate for. the nomina-
tion for mayor of Aberdeen at the lem

held to nominate candidates for our
city offices to be voted for at the com

time have ever consented to become
a candidate for any office at the hands
of the voters of this city or county, in
my nearly twenty-one years residence
in this city. If nominated and elected
my platform will be the enforcement
OF law in this city and the advance
ment of the business interests of the
city, principle for which / have al
ways contended and advocated in ali
of my long residence in Aberdeen.
There is blot on the fair name of our
city. Word has gone out that the
law breaking element rules our city
elections and thereby the city govern
ment. Now this stain should be wip-
ed off. AS Rev Mr.. Montgomery said
in his pulpit on Sunday, the 9Th OF

state of defiance Of law to exist

Gay Morning.
The Heayiest Loss by Fire in
City's History.


At about three o'clock Wednesday
morning, the big transfer house of
John Macarthur & Son on the Milwau-
kee track in the eastern part of the
city was discovered to be on fire. The
building with it's entire contents, a
very large quantity of machinery and
repairs. was soon consumed. The
property loss was the greatest ever
suffered from fire in the history of the
city. BY far the heaviest looser was
the Acme Harvester Company. The
johnson Harvester Company also lost
heavily. Both John Macarthur & Son
and G. a. fsaAa7ttthuT & Co., lost large
amount of property not fully covered
by insurance.
The fire was unquestionably of in
cendiary origin as it Ia certain several
other recent frss IN the city were.

no material advancement for nearly .
score of years.
There must exist cause for this
and it must be unsurmountabIe OF
those same shrewd boomers would have
overcome it and made a prosperous
commercial city Of Pierre. which thing
they. have sssnally failed to do. It
still remains one hundred and twenty
niles west Of any main thoroughfare
and every citizen in the state, in or
der to reach the present capital, must
travel over this distance and pay trin-
ute to Huron and the G.. 6 N. w. r. r.,
I W W,sGlioss ne lives on the line between
Huron and Pierre. Although he may
live in the Black Hills he must travel
the line from Huron to Pierre.
Has Mitchell any advantages over
Pierre? To this question, we must
answer in the affirmative for the fol-
| lowing reasons: First, 1t is much
easier Of access, being located on two
main thoroughfares, one running east
and west, one running north and south
| And the Omaha running east direct to
st. Paul and Minneapolis and connect
/ ing with the Omaha main line running
/ | direct to Chicago, enabling the people
to reach It from all parts of the state,
from all directions and In passing to
and from our commercial markets.
Mitchell can be Ts:;..esh eshed without incon-
! venience because 1t is on main line
in the center Of population and busi-
mess. Second. Mitchell is one of the
substantial tiourishing cities OF the
state. Its educational advantages are
unsurpassed by any city in the state.

i 1t was the first coming together of the

only proposition coming up which
caused a division was the attempt to

the unit rule. For the motion to do
this, offered by j. F. Kelly, F. c. Rob

the delegates present be empowered
to cast the full vote of the delegation,

The convention was called to order
by the county chairman, Wood Har-

style, concluding by calling for nomi-
nations for temporary chairman. Chas.
N. Harris placed Fred B. Smith Of
Hecla in nomination and, no other
candidates being proposed, he was
elected by acclamation. Of course
Fred can make speech when occa-

that twenty years ago he was one of
