Hon. Z. B. Scott, the Nominee for
State Senator.

The Convention called to nominate
State Senator for the 18th Senatori-
al District, very wisely put in nomina-
ton Hon. I. B. Scott. We are conf
dent that among the very many excel
lent men in the 18th district, no bet
ter man could have been nominated
than Mr.. Scott He has for four years
been in the Senate, and never yet has
he failed to meet the responsibilities OF
the position. He has shown himself
an able legislator and careful. faith
full representative The voters of the
18th District will see to it that this
energetic champion of our interests with
out regard to locality, is returned to a
position he is SO eminently qualified
to fill, position he has filled with
credit to himself and to the perfect
satisfaction of his constituents.
Mr.. Scott has been for over twenty
years closely identified with the lumber
interests Of the Wisconsin River, and
therefore knows every want of dis
tricb, such as ours, which is unmistak-
ably a lumber manufacturing district.
He will be elected by large majority.
We append few of the many IA
vorable mentions" of the press on
the nomination;
The Senatorial Convention for this
district met at Grand Rapids on Tues
day last, and on the first formal ballot
unanimously nominated Thos. B. Scott,
of Wood county. To the people of
Lincoln county it is unnecessary to say
word about Senator Scott, and were
there not others outside of this county
that may not be fully acquainted with
him we should not say word.
Thos. B. Scott has been engaged in
active business on this river for twenty
years, and during all that time no man
ever saw him deviate from honest and
straightforward dealing. His word,
wherever known, is as good as law.
Mr.. Scott has for the last four years
represented the people of his district
in the State Senate, and he has prev
ed himself to be sagacious legislator.
He enjoys the confidence of his fellow
Senators in an eminent degree, and
there is no doubt but that Mr.. Scott
will, if elected. represent the district
with credit to himself and honor to
the district and the State Linceln
Go. Advocate.
We are glad to announce that Hon.
Thomas B. Scott, of Grand Rapids.
received the Republican nomination
for State Senator, unanimously, on
Tuesday. The district comprises the
counties of Chippewa, Clark, Lincoln,
Taylor and Wood.
Mr. Scott has been a member of the
Senate during the past four years, and
has achieved the reputation of being a
safe and prudent legislator, In the
local contests which Chippewa has had
he has always stood by this county,
and CALAMITY fought for our interests.
Mr.. Scott is lumberman, leading
citizen Of Grand Rapids, and the vot-
ers of Chippewa can feel assured that
he will faithfully represent their inter-
ests in the legislature. Chippe0a

Hon 7. B. Scott, of Grand Rapids.
has been renominated for the Senate
by the Republicans of the Chippewa
District. This is compliment we'll
earned, and one voluntarily rendered
by the people Of his district. Hon.
Tom Scott is one Of the best and most
reliable men that ever went out from
any district as a legislator and that
the people in his district will ratify
this action of the convention, that
nominated him, there is not the slight
est doubt. A man of Tom Scott 5
merits, when he can be pressed into
public service, is too thoroughly ap-
preciaGed not to receive a re-endorse-
ment. We congratulate friend Scott,
and we congratulate the people of the
Grand Rapids district in their excel
lent judgment of again making Mr..
Scott their standard bearer. -Menasha
