FRANK w. MURRAY
Republican Candidate for Regis

AS the campaign approaches
its close, Frank w. Murray, re-
publican candidate for register Of
deeds, appears more and more to
be winner.
The county is to be congratn
lated on this fact. as his nomina-
tion will be equivalent to cleo
ton, and we will be assured a
county officer for the next two
years who will be capable, indus
trious and conscientious. Frank

HAL M. KNIGHT
Candidate for Coun-
ty Judge.

Hal M. Knight, republican cam
didate for county judge, is we'll
known throughout the county,
having lived here ever since
he graduated from the Minnie
sofa state university eleven years
ago, and we have yet to hear
anyone say word against him.
He is an attorney at law, hav
ing been regularly admitted to
practice in all the state courts,
and is well qualified to conduct
the office of county judge, MIR.
Knight has been actively engag-
ed in farming, having held down
and proved up on a claim in One
Road township, and is therefore
in a position to appreciate the
consideration that is due the far
meer, and what his rights are.
He has always taken an active
part i'm all matters of public in

THOMAS MANI
Republican Candidate for States
Attorney.

Thomas Mani, the young In
dian attorney of Sisseton, is
steadily gaining support in his
campaign for states attorney,
and is generally conceded to be
the leading candidate. He is
undoubtedly the best qualified
attorney in the race today, be-
ing a graduate of the Carlisle
Indian School and the Mime
sofa State University, and hav-
ing successfully practiced law in
Roberts county for the past six
years. If elected to the high of
flee to which he aspires, Mr.. Man
will conduct the same in an abb
solutely fair and impartial man
ner. The fact that he is as
sisting in the prosecution of the
Indians arrested for the murder
of Roland .Ju.dish should go far
toward disproving the state
ment being made by some of

The Standard believes that Or
vile A. johnson, of White Rock
township, is the logical candidate
for sheriff of Roberts county. He
has lived in the county for the
past fourteen years, and has
never before sought an office.
He is farmer, and is the only
farmer who is running for the
office of sheriff. He is man
of strict integrity, good judgment
and fair education, and if nomi-
mated and elected sheriff of Rob
erts county he will give the of
flee his close personal attention
and has the ability to conduct the
same in manner that will be
above criticism. Your vote will
count if you cast it for Orville
johnson for sheriff.
