THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES
Mr.. John c. Noe, who received the nomi-
nation for mayor, has been ten years resi-
dent Of Mankato, and as lawyer and bust
ness man has acquired a reputation that
would entitle him to the most favorable con-
sideration in connection with any office of
trust or responsibility to witch he might
aspire, or for which his friends should con-
slider him adapted.
His ten years. experience in the real estate
and loan business render him familiar with
all parts of the city, and as president of the
Mankato board of trade he has become con-
versant with all its wants. His warm per-
sonal interest in everything which concerns
the welfare and prosperity of Mankato and
the energy and zeal with which he
has taken hold of the board Of
trade are abundant guarantees
that if selected as its chief executive officer
this city would not retrograde under his ad-
ministraton. 1t will be very much to the
regret of his many Republican friends, who
yesterday rendered him place at the head of
their city ticket, to learn that he expresses an
unalterable determination not to accept the
nomination. While sincerely grateful to
them for this unsolicited mark of their con-
fidence and esteem, he finds so much of his
time taken up with his duties as president of
the Mankato board of trade and secretary of
the Mankato dairy and produce exchange
that if elected to the Office for which he has
been named it would be TOO serious tax
upon his time and would
work too great detriment to
his private business interests for him to de-
vote the necessary time to the discharge of
the requirements of that office.
The city Republican committee may per-
haps substitute some other name but as yet
the matter has not been agreed upon.
Mr.. Emil Schoyen, the Republican nominee
for city recorder is an intelligent young
Scandinavian in the employment Of
Mcconnell & Co. He has resided
at ManKaUO Tor the past Jnree years ana mas
become quite generally acquainted. As a
bookkeeper he has had a somewhat extensive
experience, both in Europe and America,
and is no doubt well fitted for the position,
the duties of which are largely clerical.
Henry Mohr, Republican candidate for city
treasurer, is an old resident of Mankato and
is well known, having been located here
since 1859. Mr.. Mohr built the North Star
pillow works on Main street. and is now inter
ested in the Mankato manufacturing COM
pany. He is gentleman of undoubted in
tegrity, and if elected would make reliable
officer. The nominees for alderman and
members of the school board are generally
known and are four of them the nominees of
both parties.
