That Its use upon the orilclal ballot would

induce them to vote for parties they did not

vacancy caused by the resign., .on of Hobert
F. Kloke of West I'olnt. Mr. Kloke was
forced to send tn his resignation on account
of his health. Andrew 11. Olcfaon of Wlsner
was named to fill the vacancy.
The nomination Is considered to be nn ex
ceptionally strong one on nceount of the
popularity of Andrew K. Oleson. who served,
as county attorney of Cuming county during I
U95 and 1SP6. defeating his opponent, P. M.
Moodlc. democratic candidate, by 413 ma- '.

Andrew It. Oleson has resided In CumlnE i
