Mr.. Gordon's acquaintance over this

missionership in the Third district
promises to be one of the strong cards
in the November election.
The meeting came to an adjourn
ment after making suggested changes
and revisions on the committee, ar
ranging for an equitable apportionment
of funds to be raised for financing the
party's state campaign and other
business details. The committeeman
also gave their endorsement to the

NEW BUILDING ON FAIR GROUNDS

The officials and board of manage

association have a meeting called for
this afternoon for the purpose of ex-
amining the plans and specifications
of new cattle barn that Will be
built on the fair grounds in readiness
for the county fair to be held July

style to the group of exhibit build
ings already located on the grounds.
1t will have stalls and pens that will
allow ample space for 100 head of
stock. Heretofore cattle exhibits at
the fair have been assigned quarters
in sheltered lean-to along side the
fence of the fair grounds, east of the
horse barn. Many we'll knwon cattle

tion being now practically out of debt
Another change that the management
of the fair expects to make this year
is to have printed in the papers of
the county the premium list of the
various divisions in the Woman 8
Department. This is being done
owing to general complaint made of
the short time in which to get ex-
hibits for the fair in shape after the
premium lists have been printed.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
Make Up THEIR TICKET
Committee Meeting Held on Friday
Afternoon Launches County and
Legislative Campaign

Friday afternoon g meeting OF the
democratic county central committee
was held in the court house and
given quite representative atten-
dance Of precinct committeeman from
over the county, quite a number of
prospective candidates for office on the
legislative and county tickets of the
party adding to the number present
The meeting was called to order
with r. B. Laing of Milton. presiding
in the absence of John Mahon. chair
man of the county committee, owing
to ill health. Mr.. Laing started the
ball rolling by the announcement
that he would in nowise consider q
candidacy for sheriff. but intended to
stand for reelection as county COM
missioner of the Fourth District.
This cleared the political atmosphere
considerably and resulted in the meet
ing giving its endorsement for the
office of sheriff to Allan Mcdonald,
of Milton, whose vote in the election
of four years ago made him the
logical candidate at this time if he
wanted it,
Mr.. Mcdonald was present and
found that he had the vigorous
backing of all present and practically
assured of his nomination at the
primaries, being unopposed. The
republicans have field of five for
this office, so it will be hard to pick
a winner in the trial heat or June
29th. For county treasurer Donald
MCLAUGHLIN was given the meeting s
endorsement without opposition and
there is no chance of a double header
for this office at the democratic
primary, as will be the case on the
ticket of the republicans. The Office
of clerk of court was next given con-
sideration and it didn't seem to occur
to those attending the meeting to GO
further than name the present incum-
bent, C.. S. Robertson, as its choice
for this place on the county ticket.
Judge Dorval's name was given
deserved recognition when 1T was
mentioned for place on the ticket for
county judge and another vacancy
disposed of to the satisfaction of all
present. Two, names were presented
for consideration by the meeting when
it came to an endorsement. by the

the meeting that he would only allow
his name to be considered for that
place on the TICKET IN case that no
other candidate was available. 1t
was then that the suggestion was
made Of the possible availability of
John l.. Schwartz, who held the office
for one term and was only defeated
for reelection TWO years ago by John
McGauvran by a majority of 4 votes.
Mr.. Schwartz not being present at
the meeting it was agreed to leave
the matter as 20 which OF the two
would seek the office for Messrs
Borusky and Schwartz to settle be-
tween themselves. 1t was here that
Chairman Laing at a suggestion from
the meeting named committee COM
posed Of Robert Work, j. K. Hamil-
ton and II. E. Dorval to fill any
vacancies that might be left on the
ticket when the meeting should reach
an adjournment. The naming of can
didates for county superintendent of
schools. states attorney and county
auditor therefore will fall to the lot
of the vacancy committee, who have
two weeks in which to file petitions

come candidates for any one Of these

When it came 70 suggesting candi-
dates for the lower house on the legis-
lative ticket quite number of names
were suggested and readily accorded
the official stamp Of the meeting 8
approval, but when it came to their
individual acceptance Of a candidacy
it became apparent there would be
some more work here for the commit
tee named to fill vacancies. The
name of Gustav Brecke, of Milton,
was one that all felt sure would make
the opposition read the hand writing
on the wall, but the meeting was
compelled to accept Mr.. Brecke' g
withdrawal. Hon. E. j. Moen, who
has already been there-and the
republicans remember only too we'll
how big his majority was-was an

champion from the western part OF

fixed' as yet is quite likely to have
included in its makeup the names of
Robert Robertson of Elkwood, Elias
