WILLIAM WILLIAMSON, REPun.
LlcAN CANDIDATE.

Philip Pioneer Review:--At its pro-
posal meeting In Pierre, the repub-
lioan party nominated for congress
In this district William Williamson. OF
Oaooma. He has for several years
been the circuit Judge of the Eleventh
judicial circuit which embraces the
territory south and east of us to the
Nebraska line. He has held court q
number OF times at Kadoka and is
well known to many of the people Of
this county.
Mr. Williamson was born in Aurora
county OF Scandinavian parentags,
about forty years ago. His father
homesteaded In that county, and later
the SON homesteaded In Lyman county,
where he has since resided.
He was elected states attorney Of
Lyman county before he was grad
uated from law school, before he was
admitted to the bar, and before he
was twenty-one years Of age, SO the
story goes. We doubt it. But certain
ly young Williamson plunged into the
toll and excitement Of pioneer law
yer al soon AZ he arrived at mans
estate. and his first tasks were prose-
cutting horse and cattle thieves down
In that locality. He must have got on
pretty well with his Job, because the
people reelected him again and again
until his growing law practice would
no longer justify his holding the of
flee.
Then he was appointed circuit judgs
by the governor when the new Elev-

ensh judicial circuit was formed and
has been twice elected since By the
people. Lawyers and every body else
who knSw anything about how a cir
suit court should be operated say that
William Williamson was a real cir
cult judge. He could cut more red
tape OF the LAWYERS and override more

than they could gather togethsr In
two weeks. But he could arrive at

NO FiGuREHEAD.
Blson Courier:-Hon. William Will
iamson. of Oacoma, Judge of the Elev-
snth judicial circuit and the candidate
OF the republican party for congress
from the Third Congressional district,
was In Bison last Friday night, while
on an initial trip through the north
west counties Of the district, driving
across from here to Faith on his re-
turn home.
The Judge is experiencing that con-
dition that has been such a handicap
TO campaigning to all congressional
candidates in this district since the
settlement of the plains took place a
few years ago, namely, the hardships
and trial incident to the effort to cover
territory which is virtual empire
in itself. embracing almost one-halt
of the area OF the state OF South Da-
kota-all that portion to the west of
the Missouri river, and divided into
three distinct sections practically sep
arated from each other, the Rosebud
country, the Black Hills section, and
that included in the counties in the
northwestern portion of the state
It is the general belief OF those who
know him best that fudge Williamson
has the personal qualities which make
him as strong a candidate for the po.
sition as any who have ever been
named in the district He Is q man
of pleasing personality In the vigor OF
manhood and withai OF large expert

lead of any organized clique or fac

this district sending a free man tc

to advance and support all needed leg
islation in the interests of the common
people, and to preserve our common
liberties.

BEGIN ON NORWICH CENSUS TODAY

The eighteen 'census enumerators for the town of Norwich will start out on their work today (Friday)- Their commission allows them to do the work very much as they please so long as hours per day are concern ed, the only requirement as to time being that each shall conclude his or her work within fifteen days. There are three women enumerators in Nor wich.
 Henry Gebrath, census inspector for Norwich, is to have his office in the mayors office room at the city hall, where the enumerators will receive such instruction as they may need from time to time. The town has been divided into districts, this division having been made at Washington by the government geographers so that ii is hard to say whether the enumera tors will have districts that will com pare with each other in the number ot people to be counted.

Eighty-two of he retail stores in Norwich have signed tho agreement for the Saturday night closing hour of g o'clock which goes into effect for the first. time on Saturday of this week.
 This change of the Saturday night closing hour from 10 to g o'clock which was recommended and voted upon at a meeting of the Norwich retail mer- chants bureau on December r., will be a great benefit to the clerks and will work no hardship, it is believed, on the public which for years has been accustomed to the long Saturday evening in which to visit the stores. The proprietors have readily agreed to the change with the modern trend for shortening of working hours. 4
 The following are the stores which have signed the agreement:

PROBLEM OF DISTRIBUTING
 ABOUT 1,2O0 COO BOOKS

New York, Jan. 2,-Public librari- ans, at a three days conference be- ginning in Chicago tomorrow, will discuss among other things the prob lem of distributing approximately 100000 books, which have been re- turned from overseas and from aban doned camps and hospitals and have been sJofed here by the American Library Association since the partial closing of it's war work.
 The problem of tapping" this huge reservoir of philosophy, knowledge, romance and adventure. has been sim plified somewhat by the fact that the War and Navy Departments, in re- spence to their call, will receive about 300,000 of the volumes for use in the army and navy libraries recently taken over from the A.

It was called by the president, Chalmers Hadley, librarian of the Denver Pub lie Library. to give the librarians an opportunity to take action on the various features of a tentative peace time program adopted by the Associ- ation's executive beard.
 Recent statistics, it is said, have shown that despite the fact that there are nearly 5000 public libraries in the United States, fully 55 per cent of the population is without the benefit of library service and, in some states. the figures show, the proportion is less than five per cent The confer ence will endeavor to correct this con- diticn in a measure by proper a4sLrlp- ution of the salvaged army and navy books.
