Three Deserving Men.

vote for the legislature. They are
menywith whom the interests Of the
people and the district will be entire
" safe, and on all questions they
will vote as the good of their con-
stituents demand. Each has served
in the position he is now a candidate
fer, and the records made are such
that the votes will not hesitate to
endorse them. - IL
Hon. VIM. E. Lee, the popular
Republican leader from Todd county,
is man of influence i'll the state
and when in the house was one of the
acknowledged leaders. At the coming
session Of the legislature he will prob
ably be elected speaker Of the house
and his position will be such as to
enable him to be of the greatest ben
eft to his people. No one in the
district doubts his election, as his po-
litical strength is not confined to his
own party. In Morrison county,
where many years of his early life
were spent, he always runs ahead of
his ticket, IT'S he does in Todd county
where he has been in business for
many years.
Judge W. A. Fleming Of Brainerd,
is a gentleman who has always
received the heartiest home endorse
ment when a candidate for any office
He is at present county attorney of
Grow Wing county and leaves that
Office only because it was the unamin-
Gus desire Of the Republicans Of his
county that he should again represent
them III the legislature, where his
services during his former tern,
were in the highest degree satisfac-
tory. He is a man of unusual
independence in thought and action,
and possesses the deserved confidence
of the community in which he lives.
His strength in the district is beyond
question, and his election is az certain
as any future political event can be.
Hon. R. G. Dunn, the popular and
energetic "Bob,' is the vote gatherer
of the ticket, as all records show. A
man whose integrity is beyond
question, whose activity for the
benefit Of his people ard locality is
incessant, he possesses the necessary
elements to make good represen
tative. When in the legislature he
was one Of the most valuable members
and was one of the most constant at
attendants. He attended strictly t,
the business in hand, and was one o
the workers of that body. AS al
indication of how he stands with the
people Of his county and district, i
is only necessary to show the election
returns. In 1888, when he was frs
a candidate for the Legislature, lie
received 5S7 votes of the 623 cast il
his county, In the district h
received 1920 votes while the othe
two candidates received Alta ant
1899 respectively. He was again
candidate in 1890, and in the distric
received 1902 votes, while the thre,
other candidates received respectively
1896, 1859 and 1887. Both times h
lead the ticket, even though he work
ed harder for his associates than h.
did for himself. His high standin!
at home gives him increased strength
in all localities, and he deserves every
vote his friends can secure for him
While we hope the entire ticket vii
be elected, it is, in our opinion, ab
solutely certain that Mr.. Dunn vii
be triumphant, and that he vii
again lead his party when the vote
are counted. He is true aud Iowa
man to his friends, and the last on
on the ticket whom any Republica
should think Of opposing. While h
will have votes to spare, any vot
taken from him and given to
Democrat or Peoples part
man will place that Democrat 0
Peoples party man jus
that much nearer defe ating the weak
est Republican, and no man Of goo,
Judgment will claim that Dunn
that man.
The three above candidates ar
known and respected throughout tn
district, and will poll NOR
