co. ATTORNEYS SERVICE
TO PEOPLE RECOGNIZED
Roy Bliler One of States Best
Engineers; Additional Re-
turns From County a

While practically everybody inter-
ested in the county election is watch
ing the late returns from struggling
precints to ascertain the totals, very
little attention is being paid to
Graham M. Torrance, Roy Bliler and
Judge McClenahan.
The reason for this Is that neither
of the trio had any competition at
the polls and just naturally received
the united endorsement Of the voters
of Beltrami county.
Ability Recognized.
Mr.. Torrance is county attorney
and was a candidate for reelection.
No one appeared to contest the, can
didacy of Mr.. Torrance, for 1t is too
we'll known that his work in behalf
of the people in conserving their in
terests has been all to be desired,
and that offenders against the laws
and the personal rights OF :Beltrami
county have been Justly dealt with
without fear and with fairness. An
instance of this was when after he
had obtained an important "convic-
tion and the prisoner had. been SEN
fenced to the penitentiary he thanked
Mr.. Torrance for his courtesy and
fairness toward him.
Bliler Endorsed.
In Mr.. Bliler, Beltrami county has
one of the best county engineers and
surveyors in the state Of Minnesota,
and Beltrami county is most FORUM
ate in having him, for his ability Is
not only recognized in the county but
by the state department, for he is
often called in consultation on mat
ters of great Importance. And every
body knows Beltrami county needs
just such a man as Mr. Bliler to con-
serve their interests. He also was
a unanimous choice of the voters.
Everybody Satisfied.
Judge McClenahan is one of the
three judges Of the district, sitting
with Judge Stanton and Judge
Wright. Judge McClenahan was a
candidate for reelection and, like
Mr.. Torrance and Mr.. Bliler, made
absolutely no campaign and every
body expressed their satisfaction
with the judge at the polls.
The results Of the balloting were
certainly a strong endorsement Of
the efficiency of these men in their
elective positions.
