It should be Il pleasure for all

i. Comstock who is seeking the
nomination for reelection rs repre-
sentative from this district. lie
has long been Unidentified with the
development and u%pbuilding Of the
state Of South Dakota. especially
in the western part.
Mr.. Comstock was born Oh Il farm
near the city of Portage, Wlscon-
sin, in the year 1861. With his
parents he moved to Iowa in 1871,
where he resided until he moved to
South Dakota in 1888, locating at
Highmore, in Hyde county. During
the years 1886 he held the respOn-
sible position of auditor OF Stanley
county and attended to duties con
nected with the office in a business
like manner. From October |, 1898
until September Is, 1904 he was
employed IN the government Indian
service. y month later he engaged
in his present occupation, the mer-
camille business. and is now oper-
ating q line of stores in the western
part of the state with headquarters
at Mobridge.
The best evidence OF his fair
dealings is the attitude of his
customers who are always ready to
accept MIR. Comstock's word rs OF
sufficient worth to bind d bargain.
His list of patrons is made up of
men who have been dealing with
him Tor many years.
In the year 1912 Mr.. Comstock
was elected as representative from
Walworth county and during the
entire session of the Legislature he
maintained u careful watch to pro-
tect the interests of his district and
the state at large.
In asking the nomination for
reelection to the position of repre-.
sentative Mr. Comstock does SO
with the firm intention Of looking
after the interests Of Walw0rth
county in the future as he has done
in the past and we feel that the
voters of the county can find nC
better man to elect as their repre-.
sentative.

legislature and his thorough knowl'
edge of the wants OF this section
