WILL ATTEND NEXT
WEEKS GATHERING
of Many Candidate
Placed Before Conven-
ton for Endorsement


ton of the Taxpayers Economy
League, there is every indication
that all the voting precincts in the
county will be represented full
strength with their four delegates.
The meeting will be held in the Ma
seric Temple Friday. April %. at 7
o'clock p. m.
Up to last evening 10 precincts out
Of the total of % in the county had
already reported the list of their
delegates to H. @. ~Stenehjam, Acre-
tary of the organization. Among
these not having yet reported were
Nestby. GmertoWnv+ nnnny Wolf
Creek and McElroy but it il known
These would hold their caucuses
some day this week.
II pre-convention reports are to
be taken face value, there will be
many names placed before the CON
ventlon as candidates for the various
Offices, and when the smoke has all
cleared away and delegates have
made their final selection, the tick
ct OF the Taxpayers Economy League
should be one Of the strongest that
has ever received the endorsement
Of any PARTY in Sheridan county.
The office Of Sheriff seems to have
attracted the greatest attention. Be
SIDES Hans Madsen, the present
sheriff who is now rounding out his
second term and whose name will
undoubtedly b. ne of the first to be
placed in nomination, there are MANY
her strong c~ontenders. There Il
Weldon Richardson, a prominent pf-
cner farmer of the Antelope commu-
NIFTY who was a candidate for sher-
IT several years ago. VIM. Ragsak-
er, Of Outlook, is out for the iab al
50, as is also NeIs Markuson Of Med
lrine Lake. Doc Stevens and Cliff
ton Mckenzie have also been men
toned from the Lake. Bob Smith. a
deputy Of Sheriff Madsen, is known
TO be casting about for delegates to
support his candidacy, and Lou Helm
Ct Plentywoof has been. urged by
many Of his friends to throw his hat
into the ring.
For county commissioner, Frank
French seems to be the logical IAN
didate to succeed himself, although
ne will have strong opnos, ton from
different sectors. Homestead is
boosting the candidacy Of A. G. Oh
SON, a prominent farmer. and the
south eni delegation will come to the
convention prepared to support o.
son to the last. Miller is another
candidate from Medicine Lake, while
the Qultmeyar precinct has pledged
its support to wv. ID. Legge. Archie
Mann who lives south of Plentywood
has been talked of considerably, as
has also Christ Madsen of the Dag
mar vicinity and v. Therkildsen,
manager Of the Dagmar store.
For County Treasurer the names
OF several well qualified men have
been advanced as probable candid
ates. Edgr /. Syverud of Dagmar.
has been urged by many Of his
friends to permit his name to come
before the convention. Henry Raaen.
who was a candidate four years ago
but withdrew in favor Of Albert
HOLMAN, will probably be a candid
ate Henry Goodman, deputy treas
urer under Mr. HOLMAN the past 4
years, will be supported by several
delegations. Goodman not only has
the advantage Of four years exper-
fence. but is also a democrat, a fact
which will Undoubtedly work to his
advantage in the convention.
No opposition has yet shown
itself for Niels Madsen, our effic-
lent Clark and Recorder. who is a
candidate to succeed himself, al
though there is no assurance Of
course that someone may show in
the convention who has aspirations
fer that office.
Several delegations will come 10
the convention pledged to support
Carl Peterson for reelection to the
office Of Clerk of Court. Carl has
eight years to his credit in the
clerks office and he is recognized
even among opponents for his splen-
did efficiency while serving the
county. Opposing him will be r. G.
Fishbeck Of Plentyweed, a veteran
in Sheridan county Republican cir
cles, who has already filed for the
office.
Another office which gives prom
lse Of being closely contested is that
Of Assessor. George Bolster, one Of
the connty's pioneers, will be a AN
didate to succeed himself. He will be
opposed by A. j. HOLMAN, who has
held the office OF county treasurer
the past four years, and a Democrat.
The candidacy of Chris Christensen,
a former deputy under Bolster is al
SO being fostered by his friends in
the eastern end of the county Henry
Lipscomb of Dagmar has also been
mentioned.
Marjorie Markuson may have no
opposition as Superintendent of
Schools She has given faithful and
efficient service during her first
