the representative of this district OF
the State ticket Racine Journal.
This part of the country is almost t.
aman in favor of Capt. Timme, because
they have known him so long and 81
favorably, and because that empty
sleeve of his has been for many years
an eloquent pleader for the gallant
GeneUG Herald.
Thus far Capt. E. G. Timme is fal
ahead of his competitors in the race
for the state secretaryship at the ensu
ing nominating convention Door Co
AdOocate.
One of the most prominent candi
dates for Secretary of State in Wiscon
sin is Capt. E. G. Timme, Of Kenosha
He is one-armed soldier, an accom-
plished gentleman, and from an exper
fence of fifteen years as County Clerk
of Kenosha County is abundantly quail
flied for the duties of the Office to which
he aspires. We ordinarily have but
little interest in Wisconsin politics, but
hope to hear of Capt. TImme's nomin
alton and election Waukegan Gazette
In last Sundays Milwaukee Tele
graph we notice a sketch of Capt. E
G. Timme, of Kenosha county, a one
armed veteran, and the man WI viii
probably succeed Hon. Hans. BtWar
ner as Secretary of State. Although
the Telegraph sketch is highly eulogis
tic, it no more than does him Justice

The Kenosha Telegraph comes out
with strong endorsements of Capt. E.
G. Timme, of that place, for Secretary
of State. Capt. Timme is a one-armed
ex-soldier and prominent German OF
Kenosha. He will make strong can
didate, if nominated, and first-class
officer, if elected.-Polk Co. Press.
The Racine Journal comes out in a
very strong fashion for Captain E. G.
Timme, of Kenosha, for Secretary OF
State. There is no doubt that Captain
Timme is one of the most deserving
men in the State, in more ways than
one. AS to his qualifications, the Jour
nal says:
Captain Timme can most worthily
| fill all the requirements. He has re.
ceived a thorough education, and is eff.
ficient, accommodating alert, and as
whole-souled, genial, gentleman as
there is in the State. A favorlte with the
German community, he possesses many
warm personal friends in all nation
alities.
The Milwaukee Sunday Telegraph
has always been warm friend Of Cap
tain Timme, and is urging his nomin-
alton by the Republican convention
with an earnestness and enthusiasm
which shows that there is still warm
attachment between the old soldiers.
1t says
Captain f. G. Timme, the we'll
known one-armed soldier of Kenosha,
is very likely to secure the nomination
for Secretary of State. 1t would be
like old times to see an empty sleeve in
that OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Gazette.
Then another farmer can be named
Capt. E. G. Timme, of Kenosha. A
man who had passed his life on a
farm till he lost his arm in the de-
fence of his country. Then he was
elected to the Office of county clerk. of
Kenosha county, a position which he
has filled very acceptably during fifteen
years. BY his preparatory work in
county affairs, he is the best qualified
untried man in the state for Secretary
of State. His nomination would GER
tainly give the farmers representa-
tive. Why not make him the farmers
candidate P WalaOorth Co. Ifldepea-
dent. 4r
The Herald in the above talks
straight from the shoulder. 1t does
justice to Mr.. Johnson and at the same
time gives the best Of reasons for pre-
ferrlng Mr.. Timme. Such words do
vastly more good than any abuse of
Mr.. Timme's opponents could probably
do. AS the matter now stands there
is but little doubt but that Mr.. Timme
will receive the nomination. Racine
