Il viii be : matter Of interest to the
voters Of this county, and the legisla-
tive district to which it belongs, to
know more fully the personal and pro-
tessional career Of Judge Geo. w. will
son, tho candidate from this county on
tho Republican Legislative ticket. The
following are the leading facts OF his
puolic life.
Geo. W. Wilson was born in Adams
County. Ohio. Oct, q d lisa. his par.
ents both being natives of Ohio, and
farmers by occupation. The youne
mans work until early manhood was
that Of farmer. There Is no part of
the farmers business in which he has
not been practically trained. and no

,.sxperimentally. The nineteen years
10 spent on the homo farm. will assure
zsvery hard working farmer that he is
In. full sympathy with the class to-
which his parents belonged, and In
d which he vas 90 long himself q worker.
Improving his time in the winter
seasons, when farm work was not so
urgent, he qualified himself to teach
school, aud enter upon the study Of
law.
In 1865. while pursuing his legal
studies, he engaged in mercantile bu-
siness in Hamersville. Ohio. In. 1870
he was admitted to the bar at George
town, Ohio, and then sold out his store
and then removed to Olathe, Kansas.
Here be opened n law Office and also

ness, of which his brother had the i'm.
mediate oversight. In 1881 lie sold
out his interest to his brother and gave
his. whole attention to the law. His
practice WAS \ profitable one and bis
residence in Ol*the agreeable, but the
health of his wife rendering change
OF climate advisable, lie came to Min
nesotx in 1880, being resident of
WOrthington from that time unit
now.
Mr.. Wilson has never .olam cred for
Cflice, yet he bssbeen honored at vari-
ous times with responsible trusts,
When in business in Hamersville,
Ohio; lie was postmaster of that town.
In Olathe, for three terms he was Mu-
nicipal Judge of that city. In 1880 he
was elected county attorney of Mobiles
county. and held the office two terms.
Ofhis legal practice aud professional
standing untl:t ftfcie"cy. In this part Of
Minnesota, there is but one opinion.
among friends or foes. His extensive
Office practice: and frequent appearance
in the courts, assert 10th his ability
and success. There not many: cases
Of i'm m2'rtance, civil or criminal. in this
and most of the sdjoiuing counties, in
which he is not engaged On one side or
the other. His professional career has
boon and is successful one, one which
man Of Inferior ability and acquire
ments could not attain.
This is the public record of the can~
didate Mobiles county presents for leg
islAtive hOnors. Who Can he, Judging
from his antecedents, better prepared
to d. justice to q constituency like
this? Bred Il farmer. he knows what
the farming interest needs by way of
legal help and prot ection. AS busi-
ness man hs understands what the bu-
siness community needs At the hands
Of our law makers. As an accurate
lawyer he will know how to put his
propositions into proper shape, and he
ing an able parliamentxrian, and a for
cible dsbater, he can 80 present the
measures he viii have charge of as to
secnEo for them fair consideration OH
their merits.
A district with such man among
ito representatives must have a weight
OF influence that is very desirable. We
disparsge no other candidate who ap-
pears ~ . competitor, but in Judge
Wilson We have man in sll respects
qualified to represent his county and
district with honor to him, and to the
sxtisfaction of bis constituency.
