WARMING UP
Republican Committeeman and Officers
Start Campaign With Organiza-
ton Meeting Tuesday Night

The republican campaign in Hand
county was i~naugurated when State
Chairman George Wright and Vice
State Chairman, Mrs. Ruhlman, of
Huron, addressed a county organiza-
ton meeting at the court house in
Miller Tuesday evening.
About forty people were present
from different parts of the county and
much interest was shown in the COM
ing campaign:
The ticket this fall is a strong one,
headed by hcyal c. Johnson, candidate
for congress, from this district, and
Gov. McMasters, who has given the
state a real business administration.
The County Candidates
Atty. Frank r. Fisher is the repub-
lican candidate for State Senator from
the district composed of Hand and
Hyde counties. Frank is known to
practically every voter in Hand coun-
ty and needs no introduction. He has
practiced law in Miller for a number
of years and has been one of the most
progressive of our citizens. He has
filled three terms as states attorney
of the county, a credit to himself and
to the county he represented, and it is
safe to say he would, il elected to the
state senate from Hand and Hyde,
leave a record of which both he and
his constituents would be proud.
For Representative from Hand the
republicans nominated and will elect
Hon. f. A. AlteIow, of st. Lawrence
for a second term. Mr.. Altenow is a
pioneer settler of the county, and for
many years was engaged in the mer-
camille business In our neighboring
city, and has always been active in
public affairs in the county. His re-
cord in the 1921 session of the legis-
lature is clean and speaks for itself.
d.. A. Lewis, County Treasurer, was
nominated last March for a second
term. Dave has proven to be an eff
cient county official and has operated
his office with minimum of help, and
has saved considerable money for the
tax payers in clerk hire. The duties
of his Office will no doubt keep him
from making a house to house cam
paign this fall.
p. III. Walsh is the republican can
didate for county auditor and has no
opposition. Pat has conducted this
Office in excellent shape during his
first term and is deserving of his Sc
cond term.
NJ. j. Butte. the only soldier .candi-
date on the republican ticket, was
nominated for his second term for,
sheriff. Mel is a native son of Hand
County, and before taking his office
as sheriff made his home with his
parents in Hiland Twp. He is not
only entitled to a second term on ac-
count of the usual custom, but also
because of the manner in which he
has conducted the Office during the
past two years.
Sarah III. Cree, for register OF deeds,
is the candidate on the republican
ticket and has no opposition. She is
at present deputy in this office and is
we'll a~cquaintede with the duties, and
will make a splendid official.
Miss Helen Eakle, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. s.. j. Eakle of this city, is the
republican candidate for Superinten-
denet of Schools. Helen graduated
from the Miller High School, with
honors, and after teaching two years
in the country schools Of the county.
completed a normal training course at
the Northern State Noremal at Aber-
deem. She returned to Miller where
she accepted a position in the city
schools which she held for three years.
Although offered the fourth yea at
an advance in salary she declined, to
accept a position in the Aberdeen city
schools. This year she is at Aberdeen
where she has a position as teacher
in the Junior High School. Her edu-
cation in preparation for teaching and
her experience as a teacher makes
Miss Eakle one of the most qualified
candidates that the county has ever
had for Superintendent of Schools.
For States Attorney the republicans
of the county nominated Charles M.
Carroll. Charlie is known to every
voter in the county and Is well quail
fed to fill this important office. He is
a graduate of the University of Mime
