Republican County Ticket
AGOOD ONE
A GOOD ONE
Il Brief Sketch Of each Nominee


perusal of the men nominated for the
respective offices will convince the most
fastidious that what we say is true. To
head the ticket they placed in nomina-
ton man who has been life long
republican,; a representative of the
business interests of the county; a pop
ular and we'll qualified man for the
office; a man who has the friendship
and respect of scores of laboring men
as well as the business and professional
men-that man is J. w Cameron, of Yes
per. Republicans will bear in mind that
the coming legislature Will be called upon
to elect successor to Us. Senator, John
G. Spooner, and it is essential that he
should be returned. This can only be
done by republican legislature and
4 therefore you will readily see the
necessity of republicans voting their
ticket straight. 1t is good party policy
to stay by the whole ticket when well
qualified men are nominated. The
danger of losing the legislature of course
is more of a possibility than probability,
but if it should happen to be lost let us
not permit it to be said that Wood
County's negligence or carelessness had
anything to do with bringing about the
result. 1t is also good party policy to
stand by the whole ticket. TO split is
always a source of weakness to the
ticket as a whole and the party in
general, and will not be done by con-
sistent republicans unless there be
some superlative demand for it in the
interest of honesty and good govern
ment, and there can be no such demand
for it this time. The personelle of the
ticket is good, and we believe will prove
strong at the polls.
FOR SHERIFF.
The nomination of Chas J. Eklund,
of the town of Sigel, was a good
selection as he is we'll known through
out the county. He is also a contractor
enjoys wide acquaintance. He is a
man of good judgment and positive
nature and it is universally conceded
that if elected will make an efficient
officer. He is Scandinavian and very
popular among his countrymen.
FOR TREASURER.
Mr.. August Furstenberg, German
who is conducting what is known as
Farmers Home, at Marshfield, and
highly recommended by the delegates
from that city was placed in nomination
for the office of Treasurer. He is
reported as a man thoroughly honest
and upright and respected for his integ-
rity and good character. The News in
their anual spoke of him as follows:
The pleasant landlord of the above
hotel is Badger by birth and a most
worthy representative of good citizen.
He was born in Menasha where he
lived for many years. About five years
ago he cast his lot with Marshfield in a
business way and opened up the
Farmers Home, and his success goes to
prove that he is a popular and obliging
landlord. His hotel is 40xS4 feet and
contains fourteen rooms. He also runs
a sample room in connection and deals
in the best quality of wines, liquors, etc.
Mr.. Furstenberg does large trade
among the farmers and has good stable
room for their accommodation. In
closing we must say he is one of our
most liberal minded citizens and a
genial gentleman.

P. n. Christensen was placed in
nomination for this Office and is so we'll
known to the people of Wood County
