Rumors Of Well Known Of
ficer Living Here Making
Race Brings Up a SINH
lar Case Where One Was
Not Permitted to Take
His Seat.

Rumors that a well known retired
army officer living here might make
the race for certain county office in
the next genera erection has drawn
attention 10 n similar case in this
state in which a retired officer was
elected tn office and denied bis seat
by the courts because Of constitutional
limitation. The federal law does not
prohibit a retired officer from holding
office, but the Texas constitution
does.
MANY friends of the officer in Ques-
ton have sought him to make the
race, hut the discovery Of the QucS-
tion of law involved backed by de-
cision in the courts apparently leaves
no loophOle through which the race
NAV be made.
Thirty or forty years ago a retired
officer was elected mayor of Austin.
His election was contested and the
courts decided against him.
The Texas constitution specifically
prohibits soldiers of the army from
voting in this state. Under the law
only qualified voters can hold Office.
Is Still Soldier.
4 retired officer or soldier - still
a soldier in the United States army
He draws pay and is subject TO be
called into active duty in case OF war.
There are some duties that he may
carry at all times. If he is a COM
missioned officer. his name appears in
the army register He may he court
martialed for certain offenses.
There is small doubt that this law
would be quickly altered were it not
for the fact that it would take a con-
siitutional amendment 10 make the
change. No one has ever been suffi-
GENTLY interested in the privileges ex-
tended TO soldiers to push the matter
in the state legislature.
Suffrage OF Army Women.
There is no law that prohibits the
wife of a soldier from voting even IN
Texas. She may become a citizen OF
this state and exercise the right OF
suffrage.
But the mere fact that her husband
has been ordered TO San Antonio does
not make her 2 resident of this state.
If she lives on the army reservation.
she is neither a citizen of San An
tonic nor of the state OF Texas.
Fort Sam Houston is not included
in any precinct in San Antonio. Nor
is it a precinct of Bexar county. Con
sequeatly. no provision is made for an
election that will permit people who
reside on the reservation TO vote in
any election.

AS County Commissioner. the mem
bers of that Board are called upon to
constantly exercise caution, Judgment
and good business discretion. That
body is the real governing body of a
county and upon their shoulders rest
its welfare, financially and morally.
After the farmers took control of
Sheridan county, which control is
rightfully theirs because they are the
mainstay of the county, they have ex-
perienced a great deal of trouble in
choosing their county commissioners.
In 1920 the farmers elected Tyler and
Ibsen, but after their nomination it
was found that the old gang did not
run anyone against them. This should
have been a forceful notice to the
farmers that those two men were
satisfactory to the bankers and their
town friends and sure enough, after
their election. they proved to be the
best friends the bankers ever had and
were at all times opposed to the in
terest of the farmers.
In 1922 the farmers nominated
Chas. Lundeen of Outlook who was
elected over Jud Matl1in, the old gang
candidate, and every CRATER in the
county fought Lundeen to the limit.
He won the office by an overwhelming
majority and it was soon discovered
that the farmers had only one mem
Der and that member was Chas Lun-
deem. Lundeen has fought valiantly
for the farmers interest, but he is
the minority and could not overrule
the decisions of the other two mem
bers.
After four years Of reckless ex-
travagence On the part of Ibsen and
Tyler, on November 4th, the farmers
have a chance to elect another mem
Der onto the board of county commits
I sioners and that man is Edw. Iverson
of Antelope.
With the election of Iverson the
farmers will have two members on
the board of commissioners and will
be in the majority That will be as
it should.
The most forceful argument the
farmers have as to why they should
elect Iverson is the fact that every
CRATER in the county is fighting him.
They are using every means at their
disposal to bring about his defeat. OPP
posed to Iverson they are setting out
Niels Christensen of Dagmar to be
the exemplar candidate for that Of
fee and they are working for him to

MRS. J.J. GLOVER and
III. D. LOUCKS WIN
FREE HOLSTEINS

The Dairy Meeting held at Plenty
wood Wednesday was a big success.
In spite of the busy time about twenty
communities in the county were re-
presented. The meeting started aboat
II o'clock. Prof. ID. E. Willard of the
Agricultural Department of the G. N.
Railway opened the meeting bv- ex-
planning the purpose of giving awav
free sires. He stated that it was
their desire to place a sire with in
drvlduals who are interested in dairy
ING and IN dairy communities.
Mr.. 1. ID. O'DOnnell, from BILLINGS.
spoke on crop rotations and diversifi-
cation. Mr.. O'Donnel through his 40
years OF experience in farming in
Montana gave some very valuable
suggestions on arranging the work on
the farm in order to secure maximum
results. He urged some livestock.
either sheep, hogs, beef or dairy cattle.
After Mr.. O'Donnel's talk lunch was
served by the Plentywood Commercial
Club. The lunch was appreciated very
much by everyone present.
Immediately following the lunch the
most exciting part of the program
took place; the drawing for the free
Holstem sire. Because of the large
number present who were interested
IN dalrying and in the Holstein breed
and because Sheridan County is one of
the leading counties in the state IN
the number of dairy COWS, it was de-
elded to give two sires to Sheridan
County instead of one as was original
~ intended. Each one present was
given a number, and in the drawing
the lucky ones were Mrs. J. J. Glover
Antelope and H. d. Loucks, Redstone
These sires are from the Carnation
Herd and Of excellent breeding. The
sire OF one received in this county was
sold for over $4,000, and the Other
one is of equal breeding.
