A little rainfall almost nightly of
late. Between a Quarter and a half
inch fall last night.
This week we publish the primary
election notice issued by the county
clerk. Also in another column may
be found a synopsis of the primary
election law, which it might be well
for voters to peruse carefully, unless
they have had access to the full text
of the law.
Editor Brown has taken his son,
Arthur, in business with him as fore
man and assistant manager, and the
young man has determined to make
newspaper business his life work. If
he puts the same vim into it as his
father has he will have to go some.
We wish the new company of Brown
& Son a good quality of success.
Candidates cards are beginning to
come in slowly. Last week R. L.
Hendrickson issued his manifesto as
candidate for superintendent of the
schools, and this week Prof. H. L.
Currier, principal of the Ashton
schools, also presents his announce
ment in our columns as a candidate
for the same honors from the People’s
Independent party. Present Sdper
*intendent of schools in this county,
Prof. M. H. Mead, is also a candidate

Independent People’s party endorse
ment at the coming primary. Later.
County Clerk C. F. Beushausen will
through these columns announce his
candidacy for re-nomination to that
office, at the hands of the Populist
party, and Sheriff Williams shies his
castor into the ring for a Republican
re-nomination to that office, which
he has so faithfully filled. F. M.
Henry, who has under consideration
the idea of asking the republicans in
primary to nominate him for county
clerk, is yet undecided, but may con
clude to enter the race. Judge J. A.
Angier also this week gives authDrity
to his candidacy for County J udge 1n
a card asking a re-nomination a; the
hands of the People’s party. Present
Treasurer Hiddleson byhfscard above
asks his populist friends to give him
a second nomination for taking care
of the county’s financial portfolio.
The political pot is slowly comi;ag to
a boiling point, and from now on we
may expect accrued interest in rJiose
matters up to tha primary day. when
the matter will have simplified itself

The names of no candidate shall be

place in each 'prftcinct.
The voting at primaries shall be by
ballot, and all ballots shall be pro
vided the same as for election. There
shall be a separate ballot for each po
litical party, but there shall be no
distinctive feature to designate any
party ticket.
The names of the candidates for
each office shall be arranged upon the
ballot alphabetically according to sur
names and under headings designating
each official position.
All expenses of holding primaries
and furnishing ballots shall be paid
out of the public treasury.
The polls shall be open at 12 o'clock
noon and remain open until 9 o’clock
in the evening.
All primaries shall be presided over
by the same judges and clerks of elec
tions now provided by law, and shall
receive the same compensation as for
the November election.
The ballots cast at any primary
election shall be counted and the re
sult^ returned to the county clerk in
manner and form provided by law re
lating to general elections.
Any qualified voter desiring to vote
at any primary election shall be en
titled to participate in such primary,
but he shall not be entitled to receive
a primary ballot until he shall have
first stated to the judges of said pri
mary election what political party he
affiliates with.
If the right of any person to vote is
challenged, the judges shall require
him to answer the questions required
of a voter at a general election, and in
addition the following: What politi
cal party do you affiliate with?,, “Do
you intend to support the candidates
of such political party, or a majority
of them, at the next election? If
the challenge be not withdrawn, then
the person desiring to vote shall be re
quired to make oath covering the
above points, and' the clerk’s record
shall show that he was “sworn.”
Each parqy will be entitled to have
one challenger at each polling place.
The canvass of the votes cast shall
be made on Friday following the pri
mary, and shall be by the same officers
and in the same manner as provided
for election returns.
The person receiving the greatest
number of votes at a primary as the
candidate of a party for office, shall
be the candidate of that party for
such office, and his name as such can
didate shall be on the official ballot
at the following election.
Vacancies occurring on any party
ticket after the holding of the pri
mary shall be filled by a majority vote
of the party commitsee.
At two o’clock p. m. on the second
Saturday succeeding the primary, the
nominees of th® respective parties for
county offices in each county shall

mittee, composed of notless than one
member for each election precinct in
the county. Such committee shall
serve until their successors are chosen
in like manner.
Authority and jurisdiction are ves
ted in the county courts to hear and
determine primary election contests.
Every elector is entitled to absent
himself from any service or employ
ment for a period of two hours, and
his employer cannot make any reduc
tion in his wages on account thereof.
A new party may be formed by a
mass meeting with at least one hun
dred present.
A party must poll at least one per
cent of the total vote to be entitled
to a ticket at the primary election.
To the Tax Payers of Sherman
I wish to lay before the taxpayers
the condition of Sherman county’s
indebtedness: There are $10,000.00
worth of bonds due in 1908 and
$74,900 worth, due 1910; under the
present statute the county board can
only make a four mill levy which
will raise about $e,500 a year, and at
this rate it will take about fourteen
years to pay oil the county’s in
debtedness, besides paying interest
all those years. There is practically
only one way to pay these bonds
when due and that is by a vote of the
people authorizing the county board
to make a sufficient levy, and in
order to do that it will have to be
proposed by the county board and
voted on at the general election.
A fifteen mill leyy for throe years
will wipe out all the indebtedness
and by running the affairs of the
county in an economical way the en
tire levy need not be over twenty two
mills.
The county board meets August 6
which will possibly be the last meet
ing before the November election,
and if you want this question pro
posed by the county board make it
known to your supervisor, or get up a
petition or write this office and same
will be presented to the next board
meeting. It is either this or a re
fund, and fourteen years more of
indebtedness. Act before August
6th, 1907. Respectfully,
County
