Shows But Little Change In Totals
Askov American's Tabulation of County Vote Last Week Almost Official.
No changes loom up in elected officials as a result of the final tabulation at the county auditor's office from that shown in the last issue of the Askov American. While the voting precinct of Belden failed to report in time for publication and while Pine City's tabulation was but partially obtained, nevertheless, the figures were close.
Two offices, which never attract filings, are county surveyor and court commissioner. D. A. Christianson of Hinckley, circulated stickers for the surveyor job and won the post over James Buckley. Walter Blanchard, court house caretaker, won the office of court commissioner.
Following are the official totals for the various candidates as voted on in the county:
