favorite for coroner as usual. He !

any ticket. He has won republican, !

tisan Lacquer and economy Lacquer. !

he should die one. He got as the |

a big majority of 1926 votes. Most
of the people vote for Martin just
for old time sake.
CHRIST CHRISTENSEN
TAKEN CARE OF
For county assessor, Christ Chris
Jensen proved an ace as q personal
vote getter. It's funny how some
people can get others to put a cross
before their names. Chris too was
an economy league fusion candidate.
He was endorsed by the outfit to
strengthen that ticket. Chris really
does not belong to any particular
group. He is just one of those,
come what will, go what may, II
main interest in life is. Chris. He
has no interest in public affairs out
side of his own personal relations to
the county pay roll. But he has a
certain genius in the mack of max

in the future than it has in the
past. Christensen polled 1913 votes
to S83 for John Lein, Communist,
and 431 for w. E. Nash libertyite,
a majority Of 499.
HAMS RASMUSSEN
DECTSrvELY DEFEATED
Two years ago when Hans Ras
muSsen was the candidate for coun-
lty surveyor on the farmer-laborite
ticket he was nosed out by Robert
wheeler. incumbent, by just a meas
Hey % votes and more than enough
farmer-laborites forgot to vote to
elect him, so everybody thought
that Hans defeat was a pure acci-
dent. However, there is no doubt
as to the intentions of the voters
this year as there was a straight
flight between Rasmussen. Commun-
list, and Wheeler, economy league
Illusion candidate. Wheeler got the
economy vote and Rasmussen plus a
hundred or more liberty votes. Most
Of the libertyites did not vote for a
candidate for this office. Wheeler
Ireceived 1887 votes to Rasmussen
1907. a majority of $50. Nearly
500 voters did not bother to vote fol-
lsurveyor at all.
In the contest for surveyor, the
voters again indicated that they
were not actually interested IL
economy except as something to
talk about. Hans Rasmussen Is
probably the most consistently
economical man who ever held tina
office in Sheridan county. He savec
