Roy Brimm is an able and conscientious man. in traffic there like his Jeep did.
We are convinced that he 'would give the position a
great deal of time and attention, above and beyond the
call of duty. We think that he has shown ability in his
handing of city affairs in his term as mayor of Brook
ings. We don’t think he will be “pushed around” in
the county court. We like his idea of setting up regular
“office hours” in Brookings, where people can be heard.
We don’t like to think of the county commiss
ioner as being only a “road builder. But if road
building is a part of the job—we think Brimm can
handle it better than most people.
We think that Brimm’s experience in handling
the Brookings government was invaluable, and would
serve him well at court. We don t for example, think
that he will sit in on a meeting without minutes being
taken, as is being done now.
Nobody has ever questioned Brimm’s honesty,
his integrity, or his willingness ‘to get something done.
Brimm has devoted a lot of time, in behalf of the people
of Brookings, and his willingness to do as much for the
people of the county is to be commended.
We can’t just dismiss Brimm’s opjxment. Boh
Ismert, either. We personnaly like Ismert, and wc have
felt all along that he is a capable man. We feel that he
has done a great deal for this end of the county, and
possibly would have been more effective if the com-1
munity had hacked him more.
However, that is the point of the whole story.
Ismert is from Pistol River. He lives there, and has his
friends there A line drawn through the county at the
north limits of Brookings would show that between
40 and 45‘percent of the inhabitants live south of tli.it
line. We have no representation, as such. \ \ e need rep
resentation—and so we need Roy Brimm.
The Hall Minnie King battle for legislature is
a horse of a slightly different hue. We have nothing
but admiration for Hall, and his willingness to do his
•job as he sees it, despite the toes he steps on. Hall has
political courage. I lall is a competant lawyer, and will
make an able legislator. Hall is intelligent, and knows
his way around in state political circles. He can get
things done.
•
Opposing him is Minnie King. About her we
know nothing. We have not yet met the woman and
are not qualified to judge. We do know Sam I lall.
Now you can have a 225-h.p. engine with Fardamatic rtrive for less than the
however, and in our opinion he would do an excellent
job at Salem, and deserves our—and your support.
