COMMISSIONER OF SCHOOL AND
PUBLIC LANDS
+. L. Brinker

F. F. Brinker, republican candidate
for the Office of commissioner OF
school and public lands, was born or
German parentage in Minnesota, in
1866. He moved with his parents to
South Dakota in the spring OF 1881
settling on a farm in Lake county. HIS
father died in the spring of 1888, and
the support of his widowed mother
and work of the farm devolved upon
the son. Received his education at
the Madison State Normal. Continued
farming until 1904, when he was
elected county auditor, which office he
held two terms. Mr.. Brinker has al
ways been a republican, advocating
advanced principles, and possesses
peculiar qualifications for the dis
charge of the duties of this most i'm
pOrtant office.

four years as deputy auditor. In 1906
he was again elected county auditor.
and was reelected in 1908, and Is
now serving a fourth term as auditor
of Dawson county. This long pubic
service in a county where political
lines are drawn as closely as they are
in Dawson county, speaks well for
MIR. Anderson and shows how highly
those who know him best esteem him.
Politically, he has always been a re-
publican, never varying in his alieS-
lance to the true principles of the
party. AS state auditor he will close
ly sc%rutinize every account and sup
press any and all illegal claims.

The Morristown World pays this
concise tribute to Governor Robert
S. Vessey, republican nominee for re-
election: He Is the same honest.
plain, ~big-hearted man year after
year. He loves the people and their
welfare above honors or office. He
stands squarely on the Roosevelt
platform and has the unlimited con-
fidence of the mar the nation loves.
1t is indeed fortunate that the peo-
pie have such a clear headed a ut
the head Of state affairs: a man whom
all rust and whose chief aim Is the
welfare of the people. He will be re-
elected by thu biggest majority ever
given a public official IN the state,
and every candidate on the ticket with
him has the confidence of the voters,
second termers and first termers
alike"
