That he is the strongest man that
could have been nominated by the Re
publicon party, everybody comedies,
and the Republicans in the Sth Dis
trlet will never regrert that they have
chosen him for their standard bearer.
Let Jealous work be done and his cleo
ton is beyond doubt
from the Madison Journall
Hon. Thad. G. Pound has been
nominated for Congress in the Sth
District. This means that Geo. ".
Cate Is not to be counted in again.
He will be defeated, and by strong
majority for Lieut.. Governor Pound
is strong man, and he will poll a
heavy vote. AS lumberman, and as
a Lieut.. Governor and Legislator, he
has shown marked ability and made
hosts of friends. He will make a
successful and influential member Of
Congress, because he is a good bust
ness man a convincing speaker, and
we'll versed in Wisconsin affairs.
The people of the Sth Districts are
to be congratulated on the fact that
the Republicans have cordially united
in nominating one of the ablest and
most popular men in the Northwest
for Representative.
[Erom the Dunn County News.l
The nominee is well known to the
people of Dunn county. In ability,
tact and experience in ways of legisla-
ton, Mr.. Pound stands without a ri
val in the Sth Congressional District.
and we firmly believe that he will do
more to advance he material interests
of this district-which have been neg
lected too long already-than any 9th
er available man In the district.
1t is true the delegates from this
county were not in favor of Mr..
Pounds nomination, and cast their
votes for Mr.. Stevenson but as the
result shows that he was satisfactory
to delegates representing tWo-thirds of
the distIict, the Republicans of Dunn
will yield to the wishes of the maiori-
ty, and extend to the nominee their
earnest support. That he will be
elected over Mr.. Cate by a large
majority, we have not the slightest
doubt.
From the Jenny Advocated
Gov. Pound is man of ability
gaod public speaker has had large
experience in legislative matters en-
joys very extensive acquaintance
with the people of the district and
state; is. and has long been identified
with the interests of Northern Wis
consin, and is in every way fitted to
make an efficient representative. He
wasn't our first choice, not because we
did not know what is herein stated to
be true as we'll before as after the con-
vention, but simply because we thought
another would make equally as good
representative, and make stronger
candidate. A majority of the repre-
sentatives thought differently, and we
cheerfully bow to the will Of the ma
jority. Mr.. Pound is deserving Of
the support of every Republican in
the district, and if he receives it he
will be elected.
From the Milwaukee Wisconsin,
The nomination Of Thad G. Poond
for Congress by the Republicans Of
the Eighth District is strong one in
many respects. He has been long
ideGtiied with the lumber interests of
the Chippewa Valley, and has many
friends in that region. He has served
repeatedly in the Legislature. and held
the Office Of Lieutenant Governor for
two years. being ex-oficio President of
the Senate during that time. His
legislative experience, therefore, has
been such as to fit him for an intelli-
gent discharge of the duties of Con-
gresham. He is, moreover, vigor-
GUS campaigner; and his opponent,
Judge Cate, who was re-nominated by
the Democrats, at Grand Rapids, on
the 9Th, will find him a very formid-
able competitor Although the dis
trict is close, or was at the last cleo
ton, we think that Pound will carry
it by decided majority Meverthe-
less Republicans will need to be active
and vigilant, and above all see that the
''reform" dodge, of two years ago, of
throwing out Republican votes
for alleged informality is not repeat
ed.
AS we have q Republican Senate
and will have Republican executive
it is necessary to the work of good
government that we have a Republi-
can House of Representatives. To
insure that it is of the utmost import
ance that every district possible be
gained. If the Republicans of the
Eighth District do their duty this viii
terminate the career of that small po-
tato politician George W. Cate. :.
from the Oshkosh Daily Northwestern
Among the nominations made this
week is that of Hon, Thad. G. Pound,
of Chippewa Falls, for member Of
Congress from the Eighth District.
The nomination of Mr.. Pound will be
hailed with satisfaction by his friends
who are numbered by thousands
throughout the state. He is well
