REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET.

mex " bLlOAN W ~ 41ShE1s
At the head of our editorial column
to-day will be found the ticket nom
mated by the Republican party OF
Pierce county, in delegate convention
assembled at Ellsworth, on Monday
last.
The nomination of n. P. Haugen for
Member of Assembly was not only a
just and proper recognition of that in
fluential Norwegian element which sc
largely prevails in this county. but one
in all respects eminently fit to be made.
Mr.. Haugen is self-made man and an
unflinching Republican of strict integ.
rity; he is graduate of the Ann Ar
Dor mich. Law School, and since 1874
has acceptably filled the position OF
Circuit Court photographic reporter
for the Eighth Judicial Circuit and
since the election of Judge Barron in
1915 has also reported for the Eleventh
Circuit; he is not the candidate of any
senatorial, railroad or other clique or
ring, but is the straight Republican
nominee, and in legislative councils at
Madison next winter will reflect credit
upon the constituency which selects
him as its representative.
A. I. Carroll, the nominee for Sher-
if, has been for years highly respect
ed citizen of Prescott where he at one
time carried on an extensive business
in the line of blacksmithing. He is
well and favorably known in the west
ern portion of the county, and during
the past four years has gradually eX-
tended his acquaintance into other
towns through his agency for the sale
of agricultural implements. He is at
present Deputy Sheriff and we'll quail
flied to fill the position to which his
friends and Republicans generally pro-
pose to promote him.
For County Clerk the convention Sc
lected John Burnett, of Clifton.
Though Mr.. Burnett is but little known
except in Clifton and adjoining towns
all who enjoy the pleasure of his ac-
uuaintance know him as q gentleman
of sterling integrity, correct habits
and as being one of the solid men OF
the county. He has more than once
been assured of the confidence of the
people among whom he resides, having
repeatedly been chosen to fill some OF
the more important town offices in
Clifton and we can cheerfully bear
testimony of his superior worth as a
man and of his qualifications for the
position of County Clerk.
F. B. White, the nominee for Treas
urer, is gentleman we'll known
throughout the southern and eastern
portions of the county, and although
we have not the pleasure of his per
sonal acquaintance. the cordial support
which he received from those sections
where he is known, is satib factory ev
idence that the nomination was wise
one to make. Having received a lib
eral education and for several years
past been employed in the mercantile
establishment of Messrs. Merrill 4
White at Maiden Rock, we have NJ
hesitancy in saying that he is a mar
well qualified to fill the Office for which
| he is nominated.
Knox w. Lewis, of Hartland, the
nominee for the Office of Register o.
| Deeds, is a gentleman we'll and popu
larly known throughout the southern
| portion of the county as a straightfor
ward, capable man. He has served il
the capacity of town clerk in the tow
| in which he resides. and made faith
| full and efficient officer. Since change
in the Registers Office has been de
cided upon we know of no one NOR
deserving the suffrage of the people
| for this position than Mr.. Lewis.
For Clerk of the Circuit Court TIN
nomination of Jens Jensen, of Gilman
was deserved and appropriate and vii
have a tendency to strengthen tn
| whole ticket in that portion of tn
| county. Mr.. Jensen is youngman o
| merit, who has already filled differen
town offices with credit to himself, ant
also acted as deputy sheriff by appoint
ment of the present incumbent of tina
| office. The nomination was unsough
ON his part and no one was more SUI
prised than he when the result wa
declared. Having always been
staunch Republican from principl
and not for personal gain he well de
serves the recognition of his party.
For District Attorney, f. l.. ellison
for the past four years an incumben
of this Office, was renominated. Thi
is well. Mr.. ellison is a good lawye
and has proven the most popular Dis
trict Attorney that Pierce County ha
ever had, and as his competitor bot
two and four ago.was one of tn
best Attorneys the county 1t is SAT
to say that he II ''get away wit

The Germ ationality was yer
properly rec 'zed by the conventlo
in the rev alton of j. j. Schultz
ess for Surveyor. Mr.. Schulthes
has held this position during the pas
two terms, and having thoroughly fl
ted himself for the duties of surve.

Enoch Quimby was selected for Co
