His Candidacy.

His Candidacy.
Peter Norbeck, lieutenant gov
ernOr has announced his candi- |
dacy for the Republican nomina-
tion for governor of South Dako-
ta and states his position upon
public questions as follows
To the people of South Da-
kota
After carefully considering
the matter, | have decided to an
nounce my candidacy for the
Republican nomination for gov
ernor i'm the spring primaries.
l have received many solicita-
tions to become Il candidate
they have come from all fac
tionS, and many from outside
the Republican party. This has
led me to believe that if nominate
ed and elected | might enjoy the
co-operation and good will of the
people, regardless of factions
and parties. l am hopeful that
this may be the case; and, if so
my endeavor will be to merit
this confidence.
Upon questions OF public af-
fairs the people have the right to
expect and to know how "a candi-
date stands, and. thus, feel it
is pertinent to state my position
i'm relation to the policy l shall
|pursue as such candidate.

adopted Il similar system under
which the farmers may obtain
long time loans at a low rate Oi
interest With small annual pay
ments of the principal. Some
such plan worked ont i'm a prac-
tical way will materially aid in
the upbuilding of the state s
greatest resources = our agl.i-

VI believe the state should

receive financial aid from the

ner discovered fire in the rubbing
bed room of the Belden's branch of the
Vermont Marble company, located at
Belden's, about two miles north of this
village He promptly gave the alarm
to the rest of the employees of the mill
but as they have no fire apparatus, the
property is total loss The fire
spread rapidly as it followed a greasy
line shaft and the building was quick
ly ablaze. The loss is estimated at
about $4,000 and is partly covered by
insurance. It is understood that the
company will not rebuild, but will re-
open at once a mill which they own in
Brandon and will transfer the men to
that shop. The mill had many orders
and employed about 80 men who are
out OF work for few days. The or
igin of the fire is unknown.
