On Tuesday. November z, It egain
becomes the duty Of the voters Of
Dickey county to select the men who
are to act as their servants in the
various county ohices during the en-
suing two years. This is a matter
of vital Importance to the tax pay
ers Of this county. and great care
should be taken in choosing the new
officials, and in fulfilling this i'm
portant duty the attention of the
voter is invited to the ticket placed
in the field by the democratic party.
The voter should thoroughly ac--
quaint himself with the qualihca-
tions and the ability OF the candi-
date to creditably hll"the position
to which he aspires, and the candi-
dates on the democratic county tick
ct recognize this right and duty on
the part of the voter and invite the
widest investigation. with confidence
in favorable verdict at the hands
of the people on November 7th.
The only legislative candidate
nominated by the democrats IL Rob-
ert F. Krause. of Kentner township.
who also has the endorsement oft he
Non-Partisan League. 1t was the
concensus of opinion among the dem
ocrats Of the county that the Nom
Partisan League should be given the
widest opportunity to carry out the
reforms advocated by that orkanisa-
tion. and when the League publicly
endorsed Wtlliam Zieman for the
state senate and Robert F. Krause
and A. s. Marshall for the house,
the democrats promptly and cheer
fully acQuiesed. and nominated Mr..
Krause on the democratic ticket and
left the two remaining places vacant
to be filled by Messrs. Zieman and
Marshall. who are republicans. 1t
Is worthy of note that the republi-
can machine in this county refused
to abide by the wishes of the Nom
Partisan organization and nominat-
ed against MIR. Krause at the pri-
mary. C. E. Knox of Oakes. who was
a reactionary member of the last
legislature from this county. and
who is particularly obnoxious to this
organization. Mr.. INrause is at pres
ent member of the board of county
commissioners. He is an extensive
farmer. thoroughly acquainted with
D. conditions n this county and state,
and will make a valuable member
of the next legislature.
For the important ONCE Of sheriff
the democrats have nominated Hen
ry A. Anderson of Guelph. Mr.. An
derson is young man. sc years OF
age. and has lived in the neighbor-
hood of Guelph and Silver Leaf foi
the past 19 years. engaged nearly all
of that time in farming. At present
he is buying grain at the Guelph
Elevator. MIR. Anderson is q wide
awake vigilant young man, possessed
of the cool judgment necessary to
fill this position successfully. He is
very popular in the locality where
he lives. and is assured of q fine vote
among his neighbors and those who
know him. and 1t is believed that az
the voters become acquainted with
him there will be a strong demand
for his election as sheriff Of Dickey
County.
&C. Misfeldt of Glendale is again
a candidate for county auditor, a
position he has filled with credit to
himself and to his constituents for
the past four years. This position
Is probably the most difficult of any
of the county Offices to fill. and the
voters should be particularly careful
In making their selection. Mr.. Mis-
feldt has been a most careful, pains
taking and obliging official, and this
fact is recognized by the people OF
Dickey County. He should be re-
tanned in the position he is now ably
filling. His reelection would be q
just reward to a hard working faith
full public servant.
The election Of county Judge is
especially important this year be-
cause of the fact that the question
of decreasing the Jurisdiction of the
county court will come before the
voters. The fact is pretty generally
recognized that increased jurisdic-
