ATTY. BUELL. FOR CONGRESS
BRILLIANT LAWYER BROUGHT
OUT AS CANDIDATE
An ENTHUSIASTIC GATHERING
The City Hall Was Packed to the
Doors by Prominent Republic
cans For the Big Event

Last night at the city hall, the
first volley in the battle for political
freedom from the SNUG set of Dead
wood political bosses who have so
long ard so arbitrarily taken unto
themselves the political benefits that
should have been distributed justly
and equally among other counties
and cities of the Black Hills
country. Although binding biz
zard ragged at the time, the hall was
literally packed with represen tative
and enthusiastic republicans who
all realized that the new CONNER
cial and industrial, conditions that
are being brought about here would
place Pennington county IN posi-
tion to make a successful fight for
political freedom.
This meeting was called for the
purpose of selecting man to 20 be-
fore the next republican state con.
vention as candidate for Congress,
and was one of the most enthusiast
tic meetings of the kind ever held
in the county.
Mayor Emrick opened the meeting
and told Of its objects and purpose
and of its Importance for the future
of this section. The Mayors re-
marks were we'll chosen and to the
point. He said that only small
section of the west remained as yet
to be developed and an important
part OF this section is occupied by
the Black Hills country. The de-
velopment which the new roads now
building will bring about, has its
political as we'll as its commercial
and social side. The peanut poll
tical methods which have so long
been in vogue in the Black Hills
must soon be thing of the past, he
said. What we want and what we
need is a broad-minded, fair and
square man in Congress to look after
the interests of not only Penning-
ton county, but of every county in
the Black Hills, Such man, con-
tinued the mayor, was a member Of
our own community and that he was
sure that he voiced the unanimous
sentiment of the republican party in
this county when he said no better
man could be chosen for this re.
sponsible position than our fellow
townsman, Charles J. Buell..
The mayors eloquence was greet
ed with an outburst of applause
that proved that every man present
was in line for the brilliant and cap.
able gentleman men toned.
The mayor suggested that the
chairman be chosen for the meeting
and Judge S, ]. Scriber was unani-
mously named to preside. No better
choice could have been made for few
men arc so capable ard we'll versed
in parliamentary rules as the Judge.
His dignified appearance, whole
souled kindness, fairness and en-
thusiasm is an inspiration to any
meeting and in this case, it was par
ticuiarly in keeping with the spirit
of the affair. In taking the chair,
the judge payed we'll deserved tri-
butte to the ability and integrity OF
Mr.. Buell.. He also stated that
Pennington county had always been
found working enthusiastically for
the party, regardless of the fact
that her rewards had never been
CONNIE nsurate with her efforts. He
believed that the political center OF
the Black Hills should be where the
Commercial center is to be; that is,
Rapid City and, he continued, that
he was in hearty accord with those
who believed that Charles J. Buell.
was the right man to look after our
interests in congress.
James HALEY, in response to an
invitation from the chair, believed
that the time had arrived for break.
