The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1918-04-04
FOR COUNTY OFFICES


to get their names before the voters
Each issue of the Register sees some
new one added. In the Legislative
field there are two before the people
and as they do not conflict geograph.
cally we feel that all the good things
that can be said of Nels Rishol ana
John ID. Gill can awaken little Oppose
ton. One man has had legislative ex-
perience in the state, the other is a
fully equipped business man who Is
a successful farmer. They VIII make
good, capable representatives for our
county.
For States Attorney both Carl O.
Trygstad and f.. A.. Burke are asking
your suffrage. Carl was hoTn in the
county, son Of one of the early set
tiers, a practical, office trained law
yer who has made us a good city at
torney. Mr.. Berke is a clean young
man who has n nice law practice AT
Elkton, and enjoys the confidence OF
the people there. Both are qualified
for the job.
For register of deeds. Bert Pearson
of Brookings and Alex Nyman of Vol
ga want the republican nomination
and G. W. Bahlke, the democrat en-
dorsement. Mr.. Pearson is a well
k..own farmer who has many friends
and is well qualified, and Mr.. Nyman
has the endorsement of the west side
republicans and is also well able 20
give good service. Mr.. Bohlke seems
TO have a clear field among the dem
ocrats and has good qualifications.
We do not see that the county would
be the loser if any OF them win out.
For Sheriff, John p. Nolan seems to
have a number of strong friends and
having been a successful farmer and
there being nc doubt of his nerve, he
can be expected TO have a good sup
port. John ought 10 make a good
sheriff and he may be depended upon
TO give good service. James j. Con-
nelly, the night chief OF police in this
city, is also a candidate and the Elk
ton Record. where he formerly lived.
has the following notice OF his can.
didacy: j. J. Connolly was down
from B~rookings, Friday, looking up
his sheriff prospects. James will
make a splendid sheriff and his host
of friends in this portion of the coun-
~ will take pleasure in giving him
a solid support Being an east side
young man and one wholly worthy We
find pleasure in helping him TO win in
the primaries" l. II. Billick is a sue
cessful farmer who has been living in
the city for a short time and of him
the Estelline Journal says: Il. II.
B'llick was up from ~Brookings Satur
day and the Journal office was the re-
cipient of a pleasant call. Mr.. Billick
informed us that he was a candidate
ination of sheriff. While the Journal
is not interested in politics in Brook
ings county, We are intimately &C.
quainted with Mr.. Billick as he was
a former resident of Preston town
ship, and We can endorse him to the
voters of Brookings. They cannot
elect a better man than Mr.. Billick
and he starts with the advantage Of
having his old home township of Pres
ton solid for him." AS sheriff the
county wants a mar who is vigilant
and will see that nothing but pro-
American sentiment is cultivated.
Which ever one of these men can best
do hat is the nan for the office.
Only one man SO far has said that
he wants to be clerk of courts, and
in Herman S. Johnson. We have a
careful man who has worked rs dep
uty in the ~treasurer's Office. He is
undoubtedly competent and il there is
no opposition. there seems no reason
why he should not be elected.
tut superintendent VI SSil''OiS tliC a
dies have no competition. Mrs. Mable
Knutson Trooien is a product of the
county, graduate of State college and a
teacher of experience. She holds a
life diploma, which certainly is evil
dence that she has ability. She has
q host Of friends and with these and
her qualifications win make a formid-
able campaign for the office. Opposed
to her H. q former superintendent,
Mrs. g. s. Mcknight, who as Miss
Gertrude Stedman served the county
In q way that was very acceptable to
the schools and the patrons. She has
had teaching experience and lately
has been a teacher in the school of
agriculture connected with State col
lege. Her friends r very decided in
their efforts for her and are trying to
40 IN they can to help her win out.
