PROBABLY lille on the republican
ticket, too, this time and fight it
out with Mikkels in the primaries
July 18th. John Palubicki, being
encouraged by the election of Al
bert HOLMAN, will file for. Clerk
q Recorder on the Democratic tic
ket. John does not see any rea-
son why he should not be elected
seeing as how Albert did, and
there is considerable logic to that.
If Albert HOLMAN could be elected
county treasurer. there are four
thousand men in the county as
qualified, who are potential can
didates. Only 1880 is not 1928.
Albert will not be reelected COu-
ty Treasurer if any one of even
ordinary ability files against him.
Albert is a sample of what can
happen in politics. Niels Madsen
is quite likely to remain in office,
unless Frank French dOubIecrOsses
him and throws in with Tony,
which might easily happen. Any
way its no skin off from us. It's
hard to ride two ponies.

The Clerk of Court is a hold
over, his term being for four
years: so Carl and Dolly are Sc
cure for two years more. when if
they are careful they should be
able to retire in cOmfOrt-it comes
pretty handy to get two or three
salaries in One family-and the
voters don't mind it. Vote FOR it
every time they get a chance.
