Resignations and changes of residence required the electorate to choose a surveyor and three commissioners in addition to the county attorney in 1906. Wra, Morrow, fusion, was ■chosen attorney; Clarence Scriven, republican, was elected surveyor; and the commissioners were: A. H. Fuller and W. M. Barbour, republicans ; and Frank Beers, a democrat.

In November, 1907, election, Agnes Lackey, democrat ; and F. D. Wolt, republican, had no

opposition for re-election to the offices of superintendent and coroner respectively. The democrats elected H. T. Johnson, commissioner, and otherwise the county ticket was republican. DeLaMatter, Scriven, and Westervelt were re-elected judge, surveyor, and sheriff, respectively; and M. H. McHenry was chosen clerk; Geo. Sampson, treasurer; W. H. White county assessor.

In 1908, W. H. Barbour was chosen without opposition for re-election for commissioner; and Wm. Morrow re-elected attorney. The new location for a bridge between Scottsbluff and Gering was the paramount issue and it carried 669 to 317 -- the necessary two-thirds vote.

The 1909 election resulted in re-choosing the entire county ticket except sheriff and commissioner. Billy Hunt was chosen for the former place and R. S. Baker for the latter. Both were republican candidates.

The election of 1910 resulted in re-election of H. T. Johnson for commissioner; and R. W. Hobart was chosen county attorney without opposition.

DeLeMatter and Wolt were the only officers re-elected in 1910. A. B. McCoskey was chosen by all parties for surveyor ; and M. H. McHenry without opposition for the new office of clerk of the district court. The republican candidates that were successful were: J. H. Ferguson, clerk ; Fred L. Burns, treasurer; H. J. Mumma, superintendent; and Chas. R. Raymond, commissioner. The democrats elected Fred O. Aaron for sheriff.
