ance with the action of the national

held in Chicago last October resolu-
lions in advocacy of reform legislation

welt and to the two houses of congress
by Seth Low of New York, Samuel

OFFICERS Of illinois Reformatory Tes-

Pontiac, Ill.,, Jan. 29.-Members of
the board of managers of the Illinois
state reformatory in this city, at a
session here, heard stories from the
lips of officers of the institution them
selves of brutality and torture infict-
ed upon Willie Hamlin, an inmate,
whose death and the conflicting x
plantations thereof has raised a storm
of criticism. The original story that
the board convened to inquire into,
that Hamlin was beaten and kicked
into a condition that resulted in his
death. has as yet received no con

though Fastening to explain that they

him.
In 1905 the city council imam.
iously selected Mr.. Olson to take
the census enumeration ofthe city
of Fargo.
In 1906 Mr.. Olson was appoint.
ed as a clerk in the State Land De.
partment, and in the same yea1
was appointed Deputy State Exa.
miner, which office he held to the
close Of the republican admins
tration.
In September 1907 he was again
appointed clerk in the State Land
Department which position he is
holding at the present time.
There is no man better known
over the state. He came in con-
tact with a great many people
while occupied in selling and leas-
ing state and school lands. Dur
ing the time he served as Deputy
State Examiner he had been in
nearly every county in the state
examining the county records and
came in contact with all the county
officers which gave Mr.. Olson a
large acquaintance.
There is no man better qualified
for the Office of State Auditor than
Mr. Olson. Mr.. Olson has not as
yet announced himself, but should
he come out for the Office there is
no doubt but what he will receive
the largest majority Of any candi-
date mentioned for a state Office,
as the people would feel satisfied
that he would attend to the duties
of the office himself and would at
all times be found in his office at
the capital.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF MCLEAN COUNTY
AND VILLAGEOF WASHBURN
FRIDAY JANUARY 81, 1908.

State politics are beginning to
warn up. O. j. Olson of Fargo
who for seven years was county
auditor Of Cass county, and for the
last few years State Examiner, is
spoken of for State Auditor,
and as he has an extensive acquain-
lance all over the state he will I'M
doubtly make a strong showing at
the primaries if he decides to be a
candidate. Underwood Republi-
can.
The Leader most heartily en-
dorses the above article. Mr..
Olson came to the Territory of Da-
kota in 1878 and located at Fargo.
He was elected county assessor in
1884 and served. as such in11885-
'86. His work as assessor was
commented upon by the territory
officers as being the best in the
whole territory. He was appoint
ed city assessor in 1887. The first
city assessor of Fargo. Olson was
appointed as probate clerk of Cass
county in 1889, and served as such
until 1896. At that time he was
placed on the Republican ticket of
Cass county for county Auditor,
and was reelected in 1898. In
1900 he was again elected by the
largest republican majority ever
received in Cass county, having
over 1000 majority in the county.
His term ended March L, 1903.
At the April meeting of 1903 Of the
county commissioners they caused
to be spread upon the records of
the county a resolution commend
ing Mr.. Olson for his efficient
services as auditor, a certified copy
of which was ordered mailed to

The newspapers of the state
that can see no good in Senator

the decency to give him credit for
the open and vigorous warfare
which he is waging on the floor of
the senate against the ubiquitous
