REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.

REP UBLICAN CANDIDATES.
In little over. two weeks the
election Of state, legislative and
county officers for the coming two
years will tal;e place, and the neces-
sity of placing men Of character and
ability in the several Offices to be
filled was never more important
than it is at the present time. In
the loyal state Of South Dakota
there should be no question as to
the triumphant reelection Of Senator
Sterling and Royal G. johnson for
congress, and Governor Norbeck for
Governor. It would be black eye
to the patriotism and good judg-
ment of the state if either of these
men or the state ticket should fail
of election.
For the Legislature
Hon. C. S. Amsden was selected d
by the vote at the primary. to repre-
sent Grant county in the state SEN
ate. Mr.. Amsden has served the
people Of Grant county for several
terms in the state legislature, and
is more familiar with legislative
and state affairs than probably any
other man in the county. A man
Of integrity and good judgment
who could not be induced by any
means to place his vote where it
would not be for the welfare Of the
people Of the state. The many
wild and untried schemes that are
frequently brought before the legis
lature for enactment into law are
placed under the acid test before
they receive Mr.. Amsden's vote.
He is considered one of the able
men of the senate, and Grant county
will make mistake if we fail to
reelect him.
For representatives in the legis-
lature John r. Birch of Adams
township and julius Jorgenson of
Osceola are the republican nominees.
They are both farmers, and men of
and honesty, and will
well represent Grant county in the
lower house Of the legislature. Mr..
Birch has already represented the
county for two terms, and has had
the approval Of his constituents on
both\ occasions. His nomination
this ye7s~ was not IF his own seek. !.
ing, but was given to him without
his solicitation.
MIR. Jorgen5on the other candi-
date for representative is one of
the substantial and progressive
farmers Of the county, who COM
mands the respect and confidence Of
his neignbors and all who know
him. A man Of sound thinking aud
strict integrity We predict he will
be elected and will prove an able
and satisfactory representative Of
the people of Grant county in the
state law making body.
In two OF the county commission
er districts this year commission
ers are to be elected. In the first
district Mr.. Spencer Seldom receiv-
ed the primary nomination and is
the republican candidate. Mr..
Seldom is one of the old settlers of
the county and is thoroughly ac-
quainted with conditions in the
county and its needs. He is a man
of sound discretion and can be re-
lied upon to be fair to the county
and to all the varied interests that
come before the board for adjust
ment and determination.
In the second commissioner dis
trict the republicans have nominat-
ed Louis Johnson, one of the SUBJ
stantial citizens of Labolt for COM
Mr.. johnson is highly
esteemed in the south part of the
county. where he is recognised as a
man Of good judgment and honor.
able parts. and those who know him
best assert that he will make con-
and able member Of the
board. and will successfully look af-
ter the best interests Of the county
when elected.
w. S. Nixon, the republican can
iidate for county treasurer Is we'll
known to most Of our Grant county
people, having served the people of
the county for . number Of years
as county auditor, and his efficiency
in this important Office is an index
Of the efficient and careful manner
in which the affairs of the treasur-
er's Office will be administered. Mr.
Nixon is at present holding the Of
flee by appointment to fill the un-
expired term Of A. A. Blomquist,
who was elected two years ago.
