Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1888-11-02

j. c. Comfort, the Democratic can
didate for member Of assembly in the
western district of Iowa county, is a
man Of proyerbiaI sturdy honesty. He
has the courage Of strong convictions,
and if elected he would faithfully and
comageously represent the interests of
his district, and of the state at large.
He would not be influenced in the
least by any rings of scheming pol
iticans. AS member of the county
board of supervisors, and in other
Offices, he has had considerable ex-
perience in public affairs, and is well
qualified to fill the position for which
he is named. If the people of the
second district Of Iowa county are
alive to their best interests, they will
see to it that Mr. Comfort is chosen to
represent them in the Legislature, and
that too, by a large majority.
SHERIFF.

/ fight for election to the Office of sher-
! it,; and if indications are not very
misleading he will be elected He is
deserving, reliable and capable, and is
just the kind of a man that the people
delight to honor with their votes.
/ COUNTY CLERK.
Capt. NJ. Ryan, of Arena, the demo-
cratic candidate, would if elected
make a very efficient and capable
county clerk Democrats should give
him their hearty support at the polls
COUNTY TREASURER.
Christopher Fritsch of Cobb, the
democratic candidate for treasurer, is
one of the solid men of Iowa county.
He is Il careful, reliable man, and
popular. AS it is very poor policy to
continue treasurer in Office for more
than two terms, and rs Mr. paulson
has already had two terms, there ought
to be no doubt about the election of
Mr. Fritsch
REGISTER OF DEEDS.
W. IL. Thomas of Dodgeville, the
democratic candidate for register of
deeds, will display good running quail
tiles ON election day. or The Dem
ocrat is mistaken. He is an excellent
pcnman, and the fact that he has been
repeatedly elected clerk in the strong
republican town of Dodgeville, shows
that he is popular. He has a wide
acquaintance, and will doubtless run
ahead of his ticket

of wide experience. Although he is
not making an active canvass he has
many friends in all parts who will give
him their votes On election day

COUNTY SURVEYOR.
1t is greatly to the interests Of the
people Of the county of Iowa to have
a practical and expert county surveyor.
1t is no disparagement to the repnb-
lican candidate to say that he has not
had as much practice, nor is he as
skilltul surveyor as Thomas II. Ar
thur, the democratic candidate. An
who desire the election of the most
capable man should see that the name
of Mr.. Arthur is on their tickets.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
NJ. \. Torphy, the democratic can
didate for county superintendent of
schools will make an excellent run

4 inent degree He has been faithful

dorSement at the polls next Tuesday.
