REASONS WHY

Ample reason can be ascribed to
the malicious and deliberate attempt
by local newspaper to discredit Still
man T.. Moore, Republican candidate
for the nomination for Clerk of the
District Court. In recent issue of
the Valley County News, appeared
deliberate Justification against him,
for the purpose of boosting the pre-
sent incumbent of that office.
1t is a we'll known fact that for
many years the present incumbent of
the Office of Clerk of the District Court
has held financial interest in that
paper and it is presumed the relation
ship still exists. To show there is
material interest and reason why
the Valley County News upholds the
present incumbent for reelection, and
attempts to force him upon the peo-
pie can readily be recognized from
the following facts:
Practically every alias summons
filed in the office of the Clerk of the
District Court requiring publication
in a newspaper in Valley County is
turned over to the Valley County
News. Even when a litigant or his
attorney expressly requests that the
summons appear in some other news
paper the request is refused and the
notice is placed in the News.
Can you wonder that that paper in
sists upon the present incumbent re-
naming in office? 1t means many
dollars yearly arbitrarily diverted in
to it's Golfers.
And is the present incumbent the
conscientious official purported? Does
he show the great interest in the tax
payers and the county funds? Ever
since he assumed the Office he has
maintained deputy in his Office at
a salary of $4,000 per month while
the Clerk himself devoted most of his
time practicing law at the Local Land
Office and devoted a big share of his
time to his Drug Store interests. He
stated that there is less work in the
office Of the Clerk of the District
Court than in any other in the court
house and yet he continues to spend
| $4,000 Of the county funds for useless
deputy hire, during the term of his
Office.
Stillman c. Moore, the Republican
candidate for nomination for Clerk
of the District Court, if nominated
and elected will give an economical
administration of the office without
squandering the county funds in use
less deputy hire. His clean record
for the past two years and half
years as Secretary of the Glasgow
Commercial Club, and his real work
for the good of the county as Secre-
tary of the Valley County Fair, dem
onstrates that he is the right kind
of 4 man for the office.

LET THE PEOPLE KNOW

PEOPLE kNOW. NO PUBIC OHlcla!
who has been honest, impartial, cf-
ficient and economical should be afraid
to have the spot light turned upon
his record by the people whose s'lp-
port he is seeking. The splendid
fignt Miss Rankin is making for that
principle is being vigorously opposed
by Judge Utter, in this district.
Much of his inefficiency is buried in
the court records and it has been diff
ficult to get at all the many mat
ters showing his lack Of fitness for
the high Office of Judge. He has
refused to explain in writing the facts
unearthed from the records.
His only answer has been made in
speeches in which he has assailed the
citizens of this district whose cases
he wants the opportunity to try, and
abusing the lawyers who are officers
of his court. Every man and woman
opposed to him is called crooked and
lawless-this by the Judge of Dis
trict Court. He openly asserts that
he intends to get even with those who
are honestly trying to let the people
know the truth about his record. He
threatens to call grand juries believ-
ing that he can suppress opposition.
He represents to the naturalized citi-
zens that he has "given" them natur-
alizaion papers and on the strength
of that misrepresentation asks their
vote. He has lost the confidence of
the people by dragging the court into
politics, making deals for support and
using the power of the court to des-
troy opposition.
AS published, his record shows by
the facts, established beyond contro-
versy, many reasons why he should
be relegated to private life where he
cannot do the public the harm which
his further continuance in office would
cause. The newspapers of the three
counties have shown:
/. That he is incompetent.
2. That he has greatly neglected
the court business.
B. That six weeks out of each year
he does absolutely nothing, though
drawing a salary of $4,000 per year
and travelling expenses.
4. That he has been campaigning
for months at the expense of the tax
payers.
S. That he has taken from their
work for jury duty more than twice
as many men as are needed, and for
the purpose of gaining votes has ex.
cused large numbers.
6. That he has tried to gain the
favor of jurors by representing that
they could not draw any money unit
they were excused and offering to loar
them money, when as a mater of law
they could have drawn a warrant fol
mileage and per diem earned
7. That he has pretended to hav,
done naturalized citizens persona
favor by giving them their final pap
ers, when as a matter of law he wa:
required upon proper proof to gran
such papers.
8. That he uselessly cost the distric
approximately thousand dollars ne,
month which the taxpayers were re
quired to pay.
.. mat ms dllatory and vacillat
ing methods have uselessly cost liti
giants in his court thousands of dol
lars.
10. That his instructions to inrors
contrary to the law, result in tn,
thwarting of justice.
II. That he has ignored the Law
in gambling cases, paroled many ba,
men after conviction, thrown Grim
snal cases out of court on mere tech
nlcalities, been biased in favor of de

coming over with Alex Skotveld

Godfrey made an unsuccessful
campaign. for clerk Of court at the
primary election, having been de-
feated by ]. Wells by a decisive
vote. Now it appears that Godfrey
is making a gum-shoe, canvass for
county auditor and his mission here
was to peddle stickers bearing his
name for that office.
The voters should bear in mind
that the regular republican nominee
for county auditor is c.. Christensen,
editor of the Sioux County Pioneer.
Mr.. Christenson's name is printed
on the ballot in the republican col
umn ard he should receive the vote
Of every loyal republican. During
the two years Mr.. Christensen has
been a resident of Sioux county he
has taken a prominent part in
every movement for the public
good, and his paper has been the
means, of giving the county much
valuable advertising and attracting
a class Of very desirable new settlers.

Senator jacobson is the republi-

the 10Th District which includes
Sioux county. He has served two
terms previously and was promin-
emily mentioned last spring for lieu
tenant governor. He carried Sioux
county at the primary election by a
big vote over his opponent, and
spent part of last week in the county
meeting the voters personally.
Senator Jacobson has made an
enviable record in the senate dur
ing the six years he has represented
his district. He has favored every
measure for bettering the conditiuns
of his farmer constituents.
Last session he secured an amend
ment to the constitution for state

carries this fall it will mean abso-
Lutte protection to every farmer in

cilWas held Wednesday

Indians from every part of the
Standing Rock reservation in North
and South Dakota congregated at
Fort Yates Wednesday for the regu-
lar semi-annual business meeting of
the Standing Rock Tribal Council.
Every district of the reservation
was represented with delegates and
considerable important business was
transacted. A meeting of the Black
Hills Council was also held at the
same time and a report of the pro-
gress made by the committees il,
charge Of the claim of the Sioux for
ceding a large area under the Black
Hills treaty Of April %, 1868, was
made.
Last February Senator johnson
Of South Dakota introduced a bill
in the Senate authorizing the Sioux
tribe of Indians to submit the claim
to the U. S. Court of Claims. This
bill was referred to the Senate Com
mittee on Indian Affairs, and on
March 9th. it was favorably re-
ported and recommended for pas
sage by the committee.
Since then nothing further has
been done in the matter, and the
Indians are anxious to have the
matter brought up and the. bill
passed during the coming short ses-
sion of Congress That the claim is
just and will be allowed If il ever
reaches the Court Of Claims is the
opinion of all who are familiar with
the treaty.

am going to write about my Grand
pa Gephard Schoeck. He was born
in Austria August 10, 1928. and died
May Is, 1908.
When he was Is years old he came
over to this country with his father.
He was on the water two months and
landed at New Orleans.
They came over expecting to find

grandpa's mother and brother, but
after they had been here about year
grandpa's father became sick and

pa go back to bring his mother over.
Grandpa had many interesting ex-
periences both in Austria and when
he was crossing the plains with an
OK team and digging gold in this
country. I will tell of one incident
that happened while he was in Ant
werp, Belgium.
One Sunday grandpa and some 9th
