his popularity has extended with his

state senator by a decisive majority

have reason to congratulate himself.

dents of Fergus cOunty-men whose
every interest is right here. Mr.. Neills
record in the office is one of which
he may well feel proud. The opposi-
tion paper has been searching that
record ever since Mr.. Neill was named,
and has not been able to find one flaw
in it. Honest John Ross, of Denton,
is worthy of the earnest support of
every resident of Fergus county. He
helped to make this county, and his
highest ambition as commissioner
will be to see its best interests sub
