 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Tuesday, December 09, 2003 VOL. II Issue 12H SPECIAL ELECTION ON JUNE 1 TO FILL JANKLOW VACANCY Governor Mike Rounds as issued a writ of election to fill the seat in the House of Represenatives made vacant by the resignation of Bill Janklow last night. The special election will take place on June 1, the same day as the primary elections. The new Reresentative wil take her seat, (OOPS, I mean their seat, at least for now) on June 8 and will serve until January, when Janklows term would have ended. That is, unless the new Representative runs for and wins reelection next November. If you Readers are confused by this, all that we at the Holabird Advocate can say is "Join the crowd, Bubba! We are just as confused!". OOPS I DID IT AGAIN!!!!! by Jerry Hinkle You, the Reader may or may not think that as a Publisher, I am courageous and dynamic. However, as a fact-checker, I have much to be desired. I have discovered three separate mistakes so far today. they are as follows: 1. The worst mistake was that my mother was going in for an MRI yesterday. That is incorect. She goes in for that on Friday. Yesterday she had a bone density test. I regret the error, of course 2. The special election is obviously more than 90 days away. That is because I read the Constitution wrong. It give "the Excecutive in charge therof" (meaning the Governor of the state) 90 days to issue the writ of election (Rounds did the job in less then one day, we should be SO proud of him for that) 3. While double-checking error #2, I discovered another error. Earlier I said that Tom Daschle could be the first Senator to win 4 terms in the Senate from South Dakota. I'm Afraid Karl Mundt already did that, but Tom would be the first Democrat to do so if he is successful in winning reelection next year. As a manner of explanation, just let me say that the reference work from which I extracted that Mundt had only been elected thrice was printed in 1961, before he made the fourpeat in 1966. That is not a good excuse, but it is mine, and so is the blame for this most horrible of mistakes.
