T. M. RASMUSSEN County Attorney

The subject of our sketch grew from
boyhood to manhood in this county.
Being one of a large family, and of
parentage that could not deal out Law
ishly the necessities of life, his prospect
for advancement was a hard one to
solve. Tony, as he is familiarly called
applied himself to his books between
the hours of toll, and so determined
was he to master the English language
that we used to find him long after the
many Others were in bed, delving into
the solutions. He soon commenced to
teach school and, being careful of his
earnings, was able eventually to attend
college. Here he devoted himself to
the law from which he graduated in
time and opened an Office in Extra
where he is meeting with noticeable
success in his practice. He is one of
the rare young men of the age: with
no bad habits and a happy home with
wife and child. He is fully competent
to conduct the office of County Attor-
ney and trust he may receive the sup
port enough to elect him.

GEORGE N0RTHUP- Treasurer

George Northup is younger broth
er of our popular sheriff who has
served the people for these many
years. He is one of the progressive
farmers of Melville township, has
never asked for an office and did not
expect to be a nominee. Being a
farmer he knows what is needed by
them and being endowed with a nat
ural ability, he will always be alert
for their best interests. The county
funds will be amply secure in his
hands for he knows no tricks. He
will earn as much interest with the
funds as his opponent Mr.. Northup
was raised in Audubon county, he
knows no other. He is one of you and
worthy of your support.

SAM McGAFFIN Supervisor

Everybody in Audubon county
should give Sam McGaftin a vote for
Supervisor He is well qualified for
the office, is living in district where
there is no resident Supervisor. His
district is the oldest and was the first
settled in the county and the old un-
safe bridges need constant attention
which they do not get. If you will
look at the chart on this page you
will see the economy and convenience
it would be to the county to have a
Supervisor in the south. The south
appeals to the north to vote for Mr..
McGaflin regardless Of politics.

HOW SHALL WE VOTE?
A Review of the Political Situation
in Audubon Coonty

The Journal is independent in poll
tics. Its freedom in this respect is
bought with price, since it entails a
sacrifice of several hundred dollars per
year. The price it has paid for this
freedom in the past would have pur-
chased a good old Audubon county
farm. Its views, whether right or
wrong, are honest. 1t is not the tool of
politicians.
1t holds that in the selection of town
ship and county officers, a mans poll
ties is immaterial The fact that
man belongs to certain political party
has NO BEARING WHATEVER upon his
honesty or his capability. Democrats
are as honest as republicans and vice
versa; and republicans are az capable
as democrats and vice versa. Other
things being equal, politics may be con-
sidered in local atfairs-but other
things are seldom equal.
There seems to be three things really
worthy of consideration in the choice
of local officials:
CHARACTER is perhaps first of these.
The public will not knowingly put
men in the court house who are not
TRUSTWORTHY and UPRIGHT NOR
ALLY.
| Ability likewise merits consideration.
| AS between two rival candidates, the
ADLER MAN is unmistakably to be
preferred
And the third consideration is PLACE
OF RESIDENCE. AS guiding principle
this is altogether right and just. Pub
| lie offices should be distributed equit-
ably. All parts of the county should
be represented in the court house. 1t
is unjust that any one section should
have all the public offices, and other
sections none.
| How far this last principle should be
applied in Audubon county next Tues
day is for EACH VOTER to DECIDE per
sonally. The weakness of the republi-
can county ticket appears to be in the
county seat
1t is right that Audubon should have
some of these county offices. But it i:
wroDs- that it should have so many
of them. Audubon, as a center of pop
ulation, is entitled to recognition in the
selection of county officials. But Other
parts OF the county are likewise right
fully entitled to larger recognition fol
there are many more people living out
side of Audubon than in it.
! Notwithstanding the foregoing, W.
cannot hold that Audubon is to be cen
sured for asking for all the politica
plums She has right to ask for wha
J she wants. But it is for the remainde
of the people OF the county to sa,
whether her desires shall be granted il
/, fun OR IN PART In the light of year
l gone by, AGdubou's own vote IN TIN
pending election may be foretold will
considerable precision. She has rarel,
: failed to vote solidly for her own can
didates. In the strength of union, sh
has triumphed, while other section
disunited, have been easily beaten
Therefore read the list of candidate
and select your choice
