The total number of votes cast for
republican u. Senator in Ward coun-
ty this year was $3.50 and consider.
ing the comparatively light vote
polled, it goes to show that Ward
county is growing in population and
in political strength. There are in
the neighborhod of 10000 votes in
Ward county, considering all parties.
John H. Stenersen showed that he
hadn't forgotten any of his old politi-
cal methods, pushing his man Soren-
son to the front. Stenersen is taking
quite an active part in Ward county
politics and always makes good.
A great many pictures have been
turned to the wall' since the primar-

put a good many rusty dollars into
