FOR A ATTORNEY.

To the Citizens of Codington County:
In announcing my candidacy for a
second term as States Attorney Of
Codington County, l do so upon a
record that / feel justiies and calls
for my reelection. In administering
the criminal laws, | have sought to
have justice done, and have not at
tempted convictions regardless of the
justice of the case. The result has
been ah almost unbroken line of CON
yictions of cases tried. These coli
victions have included the rich and
poor alike, and have not excepted
any one because of personal influence
My official duties as a civil officer,
| have performed conscientiously;
and, / believe well. / would refer
any voter who is not familiar with
my handling of the civil affairs of the
county to any member of the ofisial
board of the county, or to any coun-
ty officer.
| believe that a public officer should
perform his duties without regard to
consequences to himself or to any
other person, and with the single pur-
pose of advancing the public welfare.
Therefore, in performing my duties
in accordance with the dictates of my
conscience, and without special favors
to any one, | have naturally made
many bitter enemies. who have pur-
sued and will pursue false and con
temptible methods to bring about my
defeat at the November election.
However, I rest assured that these
tactics will not be tolerated by the
representative people of Codington
county.
shall appreciate your active sup.
port.
A. ]. Hangar,
States Attorney

Australia in Metal Trade.

Melbourne, acknowledgements

was described, before the war began,
as Germany's domination" of the
worlds metal trades through Teutonic
commercial and industrial supremacy
in Australian mining regions, has, aft
er a year of systemized effort virtually
been destroyed, according to a long
statement issued by Hugh Mahon, act
ing attorney general.
Negotiations instituted by William
NJ. Hughes when attorney general and
since prosecuted by him as federal
prime minister in England, have borne
fruit in the creation Of a cooperative
organization of mining companies in
Austria to deal with the commercial
metals industry. Through this asso-
citation, according to Mr. Mahon's state
ment. this giant business is being
placed on a footing free from the pos
sibility of foreign control in the future
This organization, the Associated
Shelters Proprietary, Ltd, is probably
the largest metallurgical establishment
OF its kind in the world-a smelling
refining and realization institution fol
the treatment OF silver, lead and golC
ores and concentrates.
Mr.. Mahon's statement tells also o.
the formation of an Australian Zinc
Producers association, with which is
affiliated every important zinc produc
ing company with head offices in the
Commonwealth. Through the medium
of this association, its members have
agreed to sell all their marketable ore
for a period of 80 years
