and Henscht
S. The good citizens Of the 55th legis-
latiye district have shown their appre-
citation Of the late r. G. Dunn by dem
onstrating, in no uncertain terms,
their disapproval Of the insidious
methods Of that migrate and filthy
Emudslinger, Fay Cravens. The vote
furnishes an eptionally good test
of loyalty, and in this election Mile
Laos county citizens have shown ex-
actly where they stand on that partic-
ular issue.
Mr.. Dunn has been indorsed in full
measure by the election to the senate
Of Richard Hamerof Milaca, q pros
porous farmer, an educated man and
an. able public speaker. Although but
q few days were available for CAM
paign purposes prior to election, Mr..
Hamer's friends busted themselves
and placed Cravens in the discard he
was, fguratively speaking, cast. into
the back alley and buried beneath an
avalanche Of denunciati ton. His dirty
campaign reverted in the shape Of q
boomerang.
And, withal, Richard Hamer's
friends conducted his campaign
through the medium Of stickers. AS
all know, there is not one case IN q
thousand where stiicker candida IS
victorious. Hence this shows the con-
tempt in which Cravens was held by.
the citizens Of the county and the.
district shows how much truth
there was in his statement, so often
reiterated, that he was indoresed by
several farmers Organization Had
he been indorsed by organizations Of
real farmers such farmers as Mr..
Hamerwould he not have been elect
ed hands down Even his home VIII
lage turned him down cold by giving
Mr.. Hamer a large majority tribute,
to the worth Of the farmer candidate
and to r. G. Dunn, the man whom he.
was chosen to represent. 81
The tale is told, the migrate has
been relegated to the refuse heap, and
a representative farmer, Richard
Hamer, elected to succeed him by ma
jority Of something like 600 in the.
55th district. 5 3s
While the official count has not yet
been made, it is certain from figures
at hand that w. G. Doane has been
elected over DIN C. Myron for coun-
5ty attorney by q majority Of over
400. Mr.. Doane had no time to make
a personal campaign in consequence
of his combining duties as secretary Of
the local registration board.
Walter Peltier has been reelected
to the office Of county auditor by a
majority Of over $50, and we can say
that he is an able man for the position
IAN expert statistician and a man who
IS always on the 2JOD.
For county treasurer Otto Henschel
had no opposition. For register Of
deeds A. G. Osterberg was reelected
by substantial majority.
For sheriff Harry Shockley, the
present incumbent, defeated his OPP
ponent, Albert Kiel, BY about $50.
Judge Sanford, as Judge Of probate,
was returned to office.
Olof. Wasenius, for county superin-.
tendent Of schools, had no opposition.
John Levau was elected county COM
missioner in the second district and
John G. Axell in the fourth.
G. f. Serline Of Mora and ". S..
Enger Of Orrock were elected repre-
sentatives in the 18th legislative dis-I
trict by q safe majority and Leslie j. /
Blair defeated.
knute Nelson, as was conf Identity
expected. beat his hyphe nated-party
candidate, Calderwood, to a frazzle
his estimated ma ority being lot, 900.
IN Prince ton village he polled 24B votes
while his opponent received only AZ, q
majority Of 206. Mile Laos county
has given him ashandsome majority,
but returns from several precincts areI
not yet=in and il IS therefore impossi-
