for the republican nomination subject
to the March primaries. Mr.. Blakely
not only Is an efficient and accommo-
dating clerk of courts, but he is saving
the taxpayers of the county over 81, 900
a year by doing the work himself and
not employing a deputy. There have
been some rumors-politically inspired,
probably-to the effect that Mr.. Blake
ly would abandon this program after
election, but he has informed>the Press
that he is making this saving to the
taxpayers n of his campaign pledges,
and that everyone can be sure that if
he Is nominated at the March pri-
maries and elected next fall, he will
continue to save the taxpayers over
$1,000 each year by continuing to do
the work himself, instead of employing
an unnecessary deputy. After looking
over the delinquent tax list, and sizing
up Mr.. Blakely's superior qualifications
for his present job as clerk of courts,
the Press feels sure that the voters
will look well to the saving of over
$1,000 in taxes each year, and nomi-
nate and elect Mr.. Blakely for his sec
ond term.-Brookings Press.

for another term. Dawes Brisbane
was chosen to succeed himself as rail
road commissioner for the third dis.
trict. w. E. Milligan Of Aberdeen,
had a clear field for national republi.
can committeeman, and George Wright
of Huron, was elected state chairman
to succeed King Of Mitchell. In laying
the planks in the platform, the dele
gates were unanimous in asking the
party to pledge itself to economy and
efficiency. The Lyon plan for the sta
bilization of prices for farm products
as embodied in the Christopherson bill
was endorsed. A federal bonus for ex.
service men was recommended.
The attempt of the Morris group
from Sioux Falls to insert a few planks
Of their own into the platform was
turned down. This was the only in
surgent note In the convention. II
Is practically a foregone conclusion
that r. o. Richards OF Huron, will
favor the state with a minority ticket
since ne has made a definite promise
to that effect. No developments along
this line have been made public as
yet and considerable speculation is
rife az to who make up the ticket.
The democratic meeting was well
attended and a platform OF economy,
efficiency and lower taxes was adopted.
They have placed the following can
dadates In the field:
