The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1908-05-14

OF official. He has held the office two terms OF
i four years, and while he has made plenty Of mis-
takes, the Independent has always tried to over
look them, and we do not believe that we have
i ever had one word to say about them. However
at this time, we cannot endorse him for reelection
because we believe that he has held the office long
i enough Unless county oncia is particularly
adapted to his work and is running the affairs Of
! the county in better manner than any other man
who could be elected to the position. believe that
two terms is long enough. Mr.. Fabrick should step
| down and out Of his ONCE, well pleased with all
will look after the affairs in careful manner. He
/ is well educated is hard worker, and honest. He
has made splendid record as county commissioner
and at the present time holds the honored position
| as Chairman Of the board He is farmer, owning
large farm Mohal which he tills with success.
We believe that the farmers should have something
to say when it to electng county officials,
and in nominating NJ Elliott, you will be working
for a man interested in reasonable taxes, and one
who will do what he can to further their interests
of the farmers OF the Northwest.

Mayor Clark seems to be fulfilling the promise
that he made to the citizens OF Minot when he was
candidate for mayor. He has closed up the
gambling dens and they will never open again at
least they will never be run wide open. II they
ever do open they will be run behind lock and
key. He has closed up practically all OF the blind
pigs in fact if there is any beer being sold in Mnot
we do not know where it is He has stopped the
wholesaling of beer, and hereafter If you want
nice case of Lager you will have to order 1t from
East Grand Forks or Milwaukee. The frendless
women have been segregated and are under police
surveillance. They are kept off the streets for the
most part except during certain days OF the week
There has been noticeable decrease of dress
making" establishments and several rooms are
adorned with 'For Rent signs The city is being
cleaned up well. The back alleys, as well as the
streets present improved appearance MT CLARK
declares himself for municipal ownership OF the
water works system, and while ten OF the Twelve
aldermen voted to send Peter VandenOever east to
investigate private propositions we predict that mr..
Clark in all honesty to the voters who elected him
will veto any private ownership measure which the
council may introduce Sam Clark intends to make
good He realizes that there are better things in
store for him politically if he does So As Little
Mack of the Stanley Sun declares, Mayor Sam
Clark, while not turning Minot into vestibule of
heaven is giving the city of Minot such good admin
istration, that even the Optic sits up and takes
notice"
There is absolutely nothing to Gunder Reshus
candidacy for the nomination for Register OF Deeds
of Ward county and it will not really be necessary
for Mr.. Reishus to turn over MS hand TO get the
nomination by an overwhelming majority. And
why not? Mr.. Reshus is particularly capable as
Register of Deeds he's gentleman in every sense
him out for an untried Official at this tine MT.
Reishus is always found right at his post. He puts
in more hours working for the county than he would
if he were conducting business OF his own. He
rarely makes mistake and the work is done with
great dispatch. He is actually making money for
the taxpayers Last year this office turned over
to the county the nice uIIle sum VI p1,foo.1o
all OF the expenses Of the Office paid Think OF
it. Elect such men as Gunder Reishus to Office and
you will see lower taxes.
