prevails in this day OF thoroughly

Boise City Election.

Jere w. Robinson will serve as
Mayor of Boise for the next two
years, having defeated Mayor Hodges
by vote of POPS to 1927. Robinson
is a Democrat and Hodges is a Re-
publican, but Boise is under the Black
Law and the election was entirely
non-partisan. In fact the election
shows what queer political bed-fel-
lows politics sometimes makes. There
was former Governor Haines and
Governor Alexander supporting Rob
inson, while former Governor Hawley,
State Chairman Pence. and John Nj
gent, all Democrats, lined up for
Hodges. There were no issues at
stake, and the fight was won or lost
on personal popularity, Robinson hav-
ing the advantage of wider circle of
acquaintance.
1t might be we'll to keep a political
eye on Robinson. 1t would not be
much of surprise to hear of him as
much talked of man for Governor
next year. With the party democrat
lied by internal dissentions, Jere Rob
lnson would be an easy man for the
Democrats to unite upon, as his per-
sonal characteristics are such as not
to create strong, personal antagoism
against him.

Fremont County and the G. o. P.

Fremont County and the G. o. P.
Two prominent Fremont county
politicians were in Boise during the
week. They were George Herrigfeld,
former county chairman, and Bishop
Harris, twice a representative from
old Fremont in the legislature. Her
rigfeld is a Gentle and Harris is a
NJ ormon, but both are united in de-
claring that Fremont is solidly Re-
publican for the next-campaign. The
prediction of Bishop Harris is es-
pecially significant. in view of the
fact that he was at one time the Pro-
gressive leader of that county. He
declares that the Progressives are all
back in the Republican fold-that a
Progressive party will never material
ize, and that to vote a Progressive
ticket is simply to act in the capacity
Of an assistant Democrat. Both the
Fremonters, who are extensive farm
ers in the Ashton district, expressed
the belief that dull times would con-
tinue until Republican President
succeeded Wilson. While in Boise
they conferred with the State Land
Board relative to the affairs of the
Marysville Canal.

AUTO MEN ORGANIZE

The automobile dealers and repair
men of the city have organized an as
ISOLATION to be known as the Brook
ings Automobile Trades Association.
The officers ire: A. E. Bunday, presi-
dent; c. A. Johnson, vice-president; J.
r. Fridley, secretary and treasurer.
The object of the association is to
promote the interests of the automo-
bile trade n Brookings and vicinity.
The Register believes that these trade
organizations are a splendid thing,
both for the dealer and customer, as
by a proper system of credit rating the
dealers can afford to sell goods cheaper
because of the fact that there will be
but few losses from bad accounts.
Other dealers, including the merchants,
could well follow the example of the
automobile men.

COMING

immigration Commissioner Mac
Caffree is receiving numerous inquiries
as to how soon it is safe to start emf
grant cars for this section of the north
west, many of the inquiries expressing
a desire to start at once. Any such
movements before the first of April
are being discouraged for the reason
that just at the present time most of
the northern and western part of the
state is covered with SO heavy a coat of
snow as to make travel by team prac-
tically impossible, and the emigrant
arriving with a car could not get his
stock and goods out to his location
without a long wait and additional ex-
pense. The inquiries indicate a strong
emigrant movement to the state this
spring.

LOCAL MEN PROMINENT

Prof. c. Larsen and State Dairy Elk
pert Ryger of Bookings, were given
great prominence by the Mason City,
Iowa, dailies in their write up of the
National Creamery Buttermakers'
meeting. The following appeared in
one of the Mason City papers under a
siX-inch head:
The passage of uniform laws by cen
trail west states to stop traffic in poor
cream, vas urged by Prof. C. Larsen,
of the South Dakota State College, in
an address before the National Cream
cry Buttermakers' Association here to-
day. Speaking for his own state, he
said the greatest need of the dairy in
dustry there was a better quality of
cream. The keen demand for the bet
ter grades in the larger cities of the
adjoining states compelled local cream
cries to lose business or else use lower
qualities.
Prof. Larsen declared there ought to
be a federal law %forbidding interstate
traffic cream below a certain standard.
THE consumers of dairy products
should demand, for their own protec-
ton, a rigid system of cream inspec-
ton" he said. THE manufacturers
would welcome such a system, for it is
difficult for them to cope with the pres
ent situation"
Prof. Larsen said the opportunities
for the dairy business were greater
now than ever before in the history of
the middle west. What is needed
more than anything else is more dairy
men and more cows. Greater produc-
ton will help to solve the quality ques-
ton"
Others addressing the convention to-
day were: M. P. Mortenson of Albert
Lea, Mimi, Prof. J. H. Frandsen of
Lincoln, Neb., B. D. White of Mil
waukee, Wis, Sam Shilling of Chicago,
and Prof. G. H. B~enkendorf of Madi-
son, Wis.
At the close Of Prof. c. Larsen's
speech on dairy conditions in South
Dakota this morning, State Dairy Ex-
pert Ryger of the same state, gave a
brief address. He told of the laws of
South Dakota and how they affected
the dairying industry there as well as
how they might be improved. He en-
phasized some of the features brought
out in the previous address and in
some cases explained more fully what
was the basis of difficulty in the laws
of the state.
