Larson and Ball File
for Auditor, Register
L. p. Larson Files for Re- -Elec-
tiOn as County Auditor;
Primary for Register

With just one week left for filing
for county office, candidates for most
of the offices seem most assured OF
not being required to enter prim-
ary race. The last day for filing is
Tuesday, May 27, with the primary
election date set for June 16, twenty
days later.
During the past week two aspir-
ants have signified their intentions
by filing for office. L. P. Larson, pre-
sent county auditor filed for re-elec-
ton, with VIM. Ball Of Redwood Falls
filing for Register of Deeds Tuesday.
Mr.. Larson, who has held the office
of county auditor for many years,
bases his claim for reelection on his
past record and his experience. He
is rated in the state department as
one of the most efficient county audi
tors of Minnesota. At this time there
is no indication that primary race
will be made for this office. Mr.. Lar
son is opposed by Ira Rogers Of Del
hi.
Mr.. Balls filing causes primary
fight for the office of Register OF
Deeds, E. H. Bollum having filed for
the office some time ago and A. D.
McRae, present incumbent, filing last
week. Mr.. Ball, former Morgan
banker, is well known throughout
the eastern part of the county. He
as well as Mr.. Bollum and Mr.. Nc
Rae will make a determined bid for
the office.
Elsewhere in this publication will
be found a list of the candidates for
the different offices.
