Annual Town Election
Next Tuesday

efcnt the approach Of this time
is from the olden days Of yore
AS the day of reckoning drew
nearer in years past the smoke o1
battle arose and ascended into the
clouds above us and the rumblings
and roar Of the tattlc could bc
heard for miles and miles around
Eut the old story is not to bt
repeated this year. But one ticket
has been filed and will appear up
on the ballot for the approaching
election. For some time past ev
cry possible effort has been mad
to pass by the election withou
an election fight and the hare
feelings and disagreeable circum
stances attendant thereto, ant
the night before the closing
the filings a committee Of te
met and framed harmony ticke
and the petition was circulate'
and literally signed, and quiet
ness and peace reigns within ou
little city.
The ticket as filed and to b
submitted to the voters next Tu
e3day is composed Of Otto c. Sha
on as Trustee from the first ware
Frank j. Simek as Trustee fron
the second ward, and c. A. Cra>
en- as Trustee from the third war
w. d. Gilchrist for clerk. M. +
Easthouse for treasurer, S. |
Hurley for assessor and s. Well
man and G.. w. Hutton for Justic
es of Peace.
Of the men on the ticket it
hardly necessary for the Press t.
say anything as they are 50 we.
known to our readers. OF tn
Trustees Mr.. Simck is at prescn
a member Of the Board, (and tn
other two members of the pres
ent beard refusing to bc cand
dates for re.election) and durin!
the past year has doubtless gain
cd a knowledge Of town affair
that will stand him in good stea
in the coming year ard make hin
a more valuable member Of til
Board this year. Eoth Mr.. Share
and Mr.. Craven have in years pas
been mcmbers of the Beard an
their experiaHcc in the past vii
stand them in good stead for tn
coming yeas work. Both are COZ
sarvative and successful bushes
men, and with Mr. Simek will civ
their close attention 10 the aii
airs of the town in tic same mar
ner as they have to their ndivic
ual business affairs.
For town clerk w. d. Gilchris
is serving his first term, and h
made good official, ard his c.
pericncc his year will enable hin
to take eyen better care of th
duties of The office the comm.
year. M. Fasthcusc for Trcas
urer is amply capable OF the dutie
Of the office, and we arc sure tha
he will lie credit to the town
enc Of our officials. For 2sscssC
ard excellent choice has lee
made as the years served by Nh
Hurley IS our County Commits
i0ncr has made him we'll acquair
led with the different phases
Tie difficult task Of making tn
asses ssmcnt. He is in every wa,
qualified, with q good judemen
IS to the valuation Of propcrt.
and will turn in an excellent asse
ssment. For Justices of the
Peace We ag in hayc S. Wcllman
who for many years has accept
ably filed this office and it woult
not seem like home without Judge
Wellman officiating in our courts
Mr.. Hutton has been Justice ir
Kadoka township for many terms
and has always given satisfaction
to all appearing in his court.
Taken altogether the ticket i:
certainly a representative one OF
the town and it would indeed be
difficult to find the exact spo.
where another man would hav'
Ieen better. The Press understa
nds that the watchword and effor-
is of the incoming Board of Trust
ees will be economy and on earn
est ndeavor to reduce expenal-
turesNo the minimum, and in this
they should receive the hearty
support of everyone in the town
not only now, prior to the election
but also throughout the entire
year that they viii serve.
Another proposition that will be
submitted to the electors next
Tuesday is the proposition of levy
ing band tax for the support OF
the Kadoka band during the com
ing year. The boys have beer
working hard during the past wiz
ter and are now in shape to appear
