SENTIMENT STRONG
FOR sANDYs

Reports coming from all parts of
the county indicate strong sentiment
in favor of the candidacy of Lew w. I.
Sandys for State Representative and
seem to indicate that he will un-
doubtedly be the Republican nominee
for that poaition.
Mr.. Sandys is admirably fitted to
represent this county in the leglsla-
ture. He has been a resident of
Hughes county for about fifteen years
and enjoys q personal acquaintance
with al.a1st every resident of the
county.
AS Clerk of Courts he has ever
proved competent, capable and
obiiging officer. He has been ad-
mitted to practice law in all the
courts of this state; is an attorney of
ability, fluent speaker and logical
thinker. His legal training together
with his familiarity with county af-
fairs will enable him to look after the
county's interests as q real repre-
sentative should.

ARMY OF 2oo,o is NAMED

A regular army of zoe, 900 meu at
peace strength, capable of expansion
to 254 900 men in time of war, was
agreed upon Friday by House and
Senate conferees on the army reor-
ganization bill, first of the big ma
tional defense measures. The report
will be submitted to both branches
of Congress for ratification this week
In the agreement on the regular
army the Senate bill system of organ
ization was retained as substitute
for the House system, which would
have recruiting a maximum army of
lao, 900 men.
The regular line of the army, the
bill now provides, can never go be-
low 100, GOO and its maximum strength
in times of peace would be 175, 900 Of
licers and men. In this calculation,
however, there are excluded 5,723
Philippine scouts, G 400 in the Quar-
termasters Corps, 7,290 in the medi-
cal department, 1887 in the Signal
Corps and $3.50 unassigned recruits, a
total of 81 $50. These added to the
regular line of 175, ,o09 men give to-
tai regular army peace strength of
206, $50 The President is authorized
to increase the regular army division
to maximum strength without con-
gressional action.

We have interviewed a large mum.
ber of voters of this county during
the last ten days, and we have tried
to get the sentiment, in a general
way, for the various candidates for
the county offices, and it seems the
voters have entered upon our towns
man, James K. Slindee, for the office
or clerk OF courts on the republican
ticket. In this selection the voters
have made no mistake and we believe
that Mr.. Slindee will give a clean
business administration.
Mr.. Slindee has q good education !;
has great deal of experience in bust
n&ss. and is an attorney licensed to
practice law in all the state and fed
eral courts of this state.
Mr.. Slindee came to the state sew
eral years ago, locating in Pierre.
lie has taken an active interest in
local politics, the up, build of our
city and in educational work.
In the final analysis of all things
the people are right, and we believe
that the voters of this county will be
given a business administration of
which they will feel proud and that
no one will regret having cast his vote
for Mr.. Sliudee fer Clerk of Courts
of Hughes county, in case of his
nomination and election.
