Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1914-10-28
COUNTY, RoI1E1os.

Mr.. Leo McDermott. OF Benson, can |
didate for senator, has been making |
q quiet canvass of Kandiyohi county |
In the interest Of his candidacy He |
has pleasing personality and will no
doubt secure share Of the votes. He
comedies q majority Of the votes in this
county to Mr.. Gandrud. and the cam
patgn Is most good-natured one per.
sonally between the candidates. Mr..
McDermott has committed himself in
case Of election to support county op-
ton or any other temperance legisla-
ton that may come before the Senate,
and makes announcement Of his candi-
dacy on another page Of this paper. Mr..
McDermott's father was one Of the
early settlers Of Kandiyohi township.

Hon. Peter A. Gandrud, Kandiyohi
County's candidate for Senator. is not
taking anything for granted but has
been active in getting in touch with the
| votes Of the two counties. Out Of 4,077
| votes in the primary Mr.. Gandrud came
within 1876 of receiving as many as both
his opponents at the election. The ques-
ton where the 1908 Froshaug votes will
land, also what the 1000 voters will do
who did not vote at all at the primary
is what makes this contest interesting
Mr.. Gandrud. must land a thousand or
more than he secured in the primary,
but his opponent must secure double
that number to win. Mr. Gandrud will
certainly roll up handsome vote in
Kandiyohi County and no doubt will get
a fairly good vote in Swift county.

] Tn ho
the County Of Kandiyohi very conflict
ing reports are being made. Mr.. Frye
has the advantage Of being we'll known
all thru the county and has served but
one term. G. A. Erickson has made an
extensive canvass and claims that he
has met with much encouragement in
all parts of the county. Both candi-
dates have statements to the voters in
this issue of the Tribune.
For county auditor Samuel Nelson has
no active opposition. Mr.. Hodgson still
remains on the ballot, having received
the second highest number of votes in
the primary, but is not making any cam
paign for the election.
In the contest for county treasurer
Mr.. N. o. Nelson. the present incum-
!: bent, is quite confident from the assur.
ances Of support received from all parts
of the county, that the people will con.
, cede him another term; which, however
, he positively declares will be the last
= he will ask for. Mr.. Olson, Of Atwater
:, is putting up big campaign and tie
, friends declare that he will land the job
, very few days more will tell the re-
suit.
> The run for county attorneyship will
: be much closer contest than some PEG
:. . pie have imagined Mr.. Chas. johnson
has made an active canvass, visiting
= most of the townships Of the county
and reports having received a very cor
dial reception. There seems to be
, current feeling that Mr.. Johnson should
! be given. the encouragement that al
election to this office would give him
- a place which he is we'll qualified to fill
> On the other hand Mr.. Geo. H. bitterness
Il points to his own ten years of conscien
. tious service and again asks for an en-
. dOrsement Mr.. Bitterness was the frs
county attorney to be given more thai
four years Of consecutive service in thi
= county. He Is the fourteenth incumben
Il in the Office.
The SUPPLEMENTARY of the schools j
- another Office where long terms have no
been the rule in Kandiyohi county. MI
Freder1ckson is the tenth incumbent o
this Office since 1870. He will have ser
we'd eight years Jan. l next, whic
r length Of term has been equalled bu
once, by B. S. Covell 1S91-99. Whethe
the voters, women and men, will conced
q Mr.. Frederickson another four years re
;, mains to be seen next Tuesday. Their
q is no disposition to find fault with Fred
q erickson's administration of the Office
a but on the other hand Mr.. Arthur F
y Nelson's candidacy presents an excellen
\. opportunity to the people of the count
,. to secure the services of a good man
naturally endowed for school work, en-
Iergetic and resourceful. This talk o
his election meaning changes in schoc
; laws or increased taxes need not
taken seriously. The districts vote tn
taxes and the legislators make the laws
} 1t will be Mr.. Nelson's duty, If elected
to superintend the schools, and this h
is capable of doing in a manner tina
will bring joy and satisfaction to pu
pills, teachers, parents and districts.
