Next Tuesday,.

CT rank of republicans and he has the
hearty support OF hundreds OF young
men throughout the county who will
be glad to see one of their number
elevated to this important position.
Luther Plotner is entitled to be
elevated to the position of sheriff of
Dawson county from the fact thai
during the two years and a half that
he has SO a%cceptably filled the posi-
ton of deputy sheriff, has equipped
him in a thorough n to step
into his chiefs shoes. Mr.. Plotner
is an Iowa man, and was born in
Marshalltown in 1869, and came to
Dawson county in 1889. He has
served on the board of education for
four years, where he indicated good
ability. When Sheriff Cook appoint
ed Mr.. Plotner to the position OF
deputy the young man took hold OF
the work with an intuitiveness that
has made him very successful. In
that time he has had some difficult
cases to handle, and the times were
very few indeed, if ever, that he lost
out on his duty. MIR. Plotner pos
sesses conservatism as a good asset
for filling the office, and we do not
doubt but what he will even eclipse
his record as a deputy when he is
elected sheriff. Mr.. Plotner is the
possessor of a good moral character,
and has the warm friendship and
hearty support of the business inter-
ests OF the city. He will see that the
laws are enforced in a thoroughly
conscientious You will not
be doing your duty unless you vote
for Luther Plotner for sheriff.
George II. Miner is a candidate to
to succeed himself as treasurer of
Dawson county, and from the ex-
%cellent service he has given the
county in the past two years, is suf-
ficient ground for his asking to be
retained for another term. He was
born in Oswego, N. Y, in 1S47. and
came to Dawson county in 1884,
although he was long before a res
ident of the then territory. He gave
the strictest attention to the details
of his Office and he can be found there
attending to the duties with care
fullness all the time. Give your full
support to Mr.. Miner and you will
be justly rewarding a capable and
efficient official.
Henry b. Anderson is one of the
most efficient county auditors that
Dawson county has ever had, and it
would not be rejecting on any pre-
vious officer to say that he was the
best. He was born in Sweden in
1859, emigrating with his parents
to Nebraska in 1871. He was early
thrown on his own resources to gain
a livelihood and to secure his own
education, but he pulled through and
is today nj of the county's most
respected citizens. He came to this
county in 1888, and took a homestead
in Tobin township, and lived there
until the fall Of 1898, when he was
elected county auditor, serving in
that capacity until March 1, 1903.
He was retained by O. d. Stearns
as his deputy for the period of four
years. Mr.. Stearns paying Mr.. An
derson mis- salary from his own funds,
and Dawson county was not called
upon to contribute one cent in that
direction. Recognizing his fitness for
the position, Mr.. Anderson was elect
ed to tue authorship in 1906 again,
and this year the republicans made
him their candidate. There is no
more h%ardworking official in this en-
tire state than Henry Anderson, and
he thoroughly understands the intri-
cate duties of the auditors once, and
it takes a man versed in book work
to a high degree to do the work sue
cessfully and keep the records
