SCISSOR, Christensen was an easy |
winner getting as many votes as
Bolster and HOLMAN combined.
There was quite a struggle in this
contest. Most folks thought that |
HOLMAN wsl not entitled to con-
sideration at all after four years
on the payroll, but many thot
Bolster had the office coming, and |
his defeat was a surprise to most |
people who thought the old man
was bound to win in three cor

as the victor, the surprise of the
primary. The other candidates
were A. C. Erickson, Paul Bah

Magnificent Triumph
The Polk, Collins, Bennett Tax
payers Economy League Outfit
however accomplished its most
magnificent triumph when it pulled
Carl and Dolly Peterson thru to a
nomination over Sen. F. G.. Fish

Senator had promised to do all of
the work in the clerk of court Of

and gnarling the fingers of Carl
and Dolly all by himself, old man
that he is, thus saving the tax
payers $3.50 a month pension
they now pay Dolly for occupying
the deputy's chair" as base for
the carrying on of gum chewing
marathon calculated to win the
world championship in the "gum
chewers endurance contest" and
$137.50 per ;. month is a lot of
money nowadays with wheat at 20
cents per pushed. The taxpayers
in this case did not seem to be
much concerned in economy as they
did in keeping Dolly on the county
udder. However, Dolly seemed to
be the exception that proved the
rule, for in each and every other
case, except where they didn't, the
taxpayers went, hell bent, for
economy a La Harry Polk, the
great Dakota economy champion.

Who Is A. J. Olson?
Who is A. j. Olson? Most PEG
pie in this county never saw o
heard of him before this summer
He used to be hardware merch
ant at Eroid before he went broke
He never was for the farmers an

selected by the gang that pickle
him if he had been. He claim
fame as a friend of John Schnitz

he moved onto a farm near Home
