KIMBAII. SOUTH FRIDAY,
THIS SPRINGS ELECTION

Two Tickets Up. With License or No
License to Add to the Trouble
For the first time in good many
years Kimball will hold an election
for city officials on the third Tuesday
III April. Heretofore the election has
taken place in the engine house sew
eral evenings previous to the date
fixed for the city election. In palmer
words, the annual non-partisan citi-
Zens' caucus named the ticket and
the election simply ratified it.
There are those who claim, whether
warranted or not, that the annual
aucus every year is "packcd" in the
interest Of certain men and certain in
stitutions. ASan illustration, it is
alleged that . deal is put up every
year to hold the city money and school
funds in one particular bank and the
nomination Of city treasurer and
school treasurer have been manipulate
ed to that end. 1t is claimed that
the funds Of the Kimball creamery
was thrown into this bank in the
same manner. AS near as the GRA-
PHO can get hold Of it-and putting
it from an entirely disinterested
standpoint-thc owners of the par.
ticular bank mentioned hold that they
are entitled to all they can get and
that they are going to get all they are
entitled to. Those interested in the
other bank maintain that there
should be no discrimination between
the two banks in the matter of public
funds; that both pay taxes and help
support the schools and churches and
contribute equally to all public func-
tions. The funny part of it is, that
the men who control the two banks
live in Chamberlain.
An effort was made this year to
agree upon the division Of the city
and school funds. The proposition
was turned down by the controlling
interests of the favored bank, and the
other fellows then got out separate
caucus Call while they were at it,
nominated a full ticket with the ex-
ception of justices and one member of
the school board in the econd ward,
the latter omission being made by ac-
cident. The regular caucus was held
at the engine house, and so promptly
did they get to business at the APP
pointed hour that it was all over be-
fore many got there-then they came
down and stood on the sidewalk and
peeked into the windows where the
insurgents were getting busy in va
can't store building. The regular
caucus goes under the name of "Citi-
ZenS" and the other under the name
of "Independent." Here are the tic
