NEW ULM REVIEW, "WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER Is, $3.50
County Politics.

But little more than week inter-
venes when the Republican electors of
Bro wn county will meet in this city
in delegate convention to elect 10 dele
gates to the 9th Senatorial district
convention, and also to choose their
candidates for Representative, Audi.
tor, Register of Deeds, Sheriff, County
Attorney, Judge of Probate, County
Surveyor and Coroner. The Republic
cans have clear majority in the coun-
ty, but to make victory at the polls in
November doubly sure only such men
should be placed upon the ticket as can
command the united support of the
whole party in. every section of the
county. Let this he done regardless
of all personal preferences, and victo-
ry is assured to the whole ticket.
FOR SENATOR
the Republicans of Brown county
have, to our best information, but one
candidate, Mr.. S. D. Peterson Of this
city. Mr.. Peterson is Scandinavian
and is we'll and favorably known, not
only in this but in every county in the
district, and the prospect of his nomi-
nation is very encouraging. He will
no doubt receive the united support
in the convention of the delegates
from three and probably four counties
on the first ballot, and if Brown Co.
sends strong delegation his nomina-
ton is assured. The tug of war
| FOR REPRESENTATIVES,
promise to be the most spirited contest
that will come up in the convention.
The candidates are numerous, but
! among those named Col. VIM. PfBn-
der, John G. Zieske and G. C. Brandt
will not go into petty contest for the
nomination. Their candidacy has been
preached against their circumstances
end neither of them will grieve if the
nomination goes to some other worthy
man. Party success is their first con.
sideration. If the nomination, how
ever, is to be given to man from the
| western portion of the county, as some
argue it should be, we believe that j.
c. Zieske, of Sleepy Eye, is the most
available man 80 far named. He is one
Of the Oldest residents of Sleepy Eye
and is we'll and favorably known to a
large portion of the electors of the
whole county. He is very popular at
home and his nomination is equivalent
to an election. If the people of Sleepy
Eye want the representative they
should send a delegation favorable to
Mr.. Zieske.
FOR AUDITOR
Mr.. H. 3. Constans, the fpresent in.
cumbent, seems to have it all his own
way as we have yet to hear of candi-
date that bankers to contest the nomi-
nation with him. Mr.. Constans has
made an efficient and accommodating
officer and his denomination and elec-
ton is foregone conclusion.
FOR REGISTER OF DEEDS
we have heard that Mr.. Ed. Paulson,
of Linden, and Mr.. G. Ahlness, of Lake
Hanska, propose to contest the nomi-
nation with ALT. Walton, the present
incumbent. All three are good men,
but what is said of Mr.. Constans may
also be applied to Mr.. Walton. The
Register of Deeds has a very import
ant mission to fill. He must be a good
penman, a ready draughtsman and an
accurate business man. Mr.. Walton
possesses all these qualifications, and
the affairs of his Office have been so
we'll managed during the time he has
been it's incumbent that he will no
doubt be accorded a denomination.
The other two candidates are no doubt
equally as well qualified for the place
but their candidacy at this time ap.
pears to be hopeless.
FOR SHERIFF
but two men on the Republican side of
the fence have so far been named, Mr..
p. H. Dahl and Hon. X. H. Helling,
both Of the town of Linden. Both are
SGandinavians and each possesses all
the qualifications necessary to make an
efficient sheriff. Mr.. Dahl has never
been before the voters as a candidate
for a county office and he is therefore
comparatively unknown, which Will
work to his disadvantage. Mr.. Hell
ling has served one term in the house
of representatives and one in theSenate
and he is therefore known to nearly
every voter in the county. It now
looks as if Mr.. Helling would be the
nominee although it was not until
few days ago that we were appraised of
his candidacy for the place.
FOR JUDGE OF PROBATE
no one has vet been named except John
Lird Of this city, and he is not anxious
for the place. As the Office requires
some one that knows something about
law it is hoped that Mr.. Lind may be
prevailed upon to accept the nomina.
ton. However, other good men may
come to the front between now and
convention day.
| FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY
B. F. Weber, the present incumbent,
seems to have no opposition for re-.
nomination. Mr.. Weber has perform
ed the duties of the Office in very
satisfactory manner and all are satls-
