AFTER JOB OF
STATE TREASURER
BECAUSE OF FACT THAT OFFICE
Is OPEN ONLY TO NEW MEN,
THERE WILL BE FREE-FoR-ALL
SCRAP TO LAND THE POSI-
TON.

There are several gentlemen in the
state who seem willing to assume the
duties Of state treasurer. Gunder Olson
Is barred from being a candidate at
the coming primaries as he is now
completing the two terms allowed un-
der the constitution.
Banker Berg Of Courtenay is said to
have the backing Of Stutsman county
and a large following through the cen
trail section Of the state. He is said to
be an active candidate.
r. E. Clendening Of Wimbledon, who
sought the place four years ago., is be-
ing urged to make the race. He is also
a banker and we'll fitted for the place.
Pierce county has a candidate in
John Steen, who is at present county
treasurer. The north central section
Of the state is reported strongly sup
porting his candidacy. He has had
two terms in the Legislature and is an
original homesteader and practical
farmer.
Former State Auditor Brightbill OF
Cando, who had been frequently men
toned as a candidate for handling the
states cash, is reported to have de-
MED the possession Of any such an
ambition and to be too busy with his
private interests to accept another
state position.
The most recent announcement is by
T. H. T~haralson, who is the present
deputy state treasurer. He m from
Walsh county, the home Of the pres
ent treasurer. Prior to Olson, Walsh
county had furnished State Treasurer
Driscoll, and the people up there in
sist the two former officials have made
good to such an extent that a third
Walsh county man should be given the
position. Tharalson, aside from his
unquestioned ability for. the place, has
the advantage of being familiar with
the work as deputy. He has. a large
following among the former and pres
emit members of the national guard, as
he has been connected with the or
g~anization for many years n served
with distinction in the Philippines dur
ing the Spanish-American war
The entire list of candidates is strong
and it looks like the money will be
we'll handled no matter which Of the
candidates is the final selection. AS a
result of the constitutional vacancy
for this place there Is a larger num-
Der of men seeking it than other state
positions, as 1t will be a free-for-all
scrap with new men,.

penditure OF the advertising appro-
priatton for the coming year and this
brought out an interesting discussion
which was freely participated in.
The club recommended the expendi-
ture Of some of the money for pub

advertise the local attractions such as
the parks, the baseball games and the
state fair in order that the people Of
the state should be informed of what
