ELECTION JUDGES
ARE NEEDED
RECEIVE ONLY $3 A DAY IN
SOUTH DAKOTA.

Sioux Falls, Sept. 28.-The ma
chinery for the big general election
in South Dakota on November 2 al
ready is creaking and groaning, fig
uratively speaking, because not ev-
erything has risen in price or value
and because of the neglect of the
state OF South Dakota to appreciate
that even election judges may be en-
titled to more pay. In short, it will
be necessary to depend upon the pa
triotism and public spirit of the men
and women of the state to supply
sufficient judges to properly man the
booths on election day.
in Minnehaha county. Each has three
in innehaha county. Each has three
judges. The judges were recently
named by the county commissioners.
The law prescribes their pay as SO
day. 1t is the same old law and
some of them are the same old judg-
es, but change has taken place.
In the past it was customary for
waiting list to be kept with the
So0hty ouuitoi ioI dc
judges. In the good old days" SO
a day was considered right smart
remuneration for many a man and
the business of Judge at an election,
was flourishing. But today, when
the laborer in the street can make
double that amount, and when other
men make $40 day at their trade,
SO jobs have not even a "look-in'
with most men.
County Auditor Shenkle is finding
it difficult to get his list of judges
filled-or keep it filled. Already
eight of the men recently appointed
have politely declined to act. and the
auditor has been compelled to issue
an appeal to the men and women oi
the county to rally, so the voting
booths may have their proper supply
of judges on election day.
