.H. Skewis is the Nominee 

The 4th district supervisor convention met Saturday evening in Inwood.  E.J. Skewis was
called to the chair and G.M. Anderson chosen secretary.  Motion to vote by ballot carried.
Motion to make first ballot informal carried.  Ballot resulted:  F.H. Skewis, 12; J.J.
Chraft, 8.Motion to make the informal ballot formal carried and the chairman declared F.H.
Skewis the nominee for county supervisor, adjourned. 

Mr. Skewis has lived in Richland township for a number of years, having been among the first
settlers of Lyon county.  His honesty and integrity has never been questioned.  In ability he
is well qualified to fill the office of county supervisor, and we believe he will make a good
officer.
