| GILBERT GUTTERSEN.
Was born in WinOna county, Min
nesota, and moved to Blue Earth
county in 1878. He received his edu-
cation at the Normal school in this
city and was considered to be unusual
ly bright. He has been engaged in
farming during large part of the
subsequent time, though for a time
he taught school. He has held sever
al town offices to the satisfaction of
all. Four years ago he accepted the
position of engrossing clerk of the
lower branch of the legislature and
proved to be a capable and efficient
official. In this position he had ex-
ceptlonal opportunities to observe the
inner workings of the legislative mill
and is really better posted upon the
subject than many old members. This
will put him in a position to be of
great service to the state and county,
as some time is required to break in
new members. He is an ardent @. X.
Davis man and will do what he can
toward securing his reelection. Be
ing himself farmer he understands
their wants and will always be found
championing the cause ofagriculture.
He is one of the brightest young men
in the county and should be backed
by good majority.
JOHN LAURISCH.
One needs but to look into the open
sincere countenance of honest John
Laurisch to be convinced of his integ-
rity. When he says he will vote for
q. X. Davis for q. s. Senator it can
be set down that he will never desert
Minnesota's favorite Senator under
any circumstances. Born in Prussia,
he emigrated to America in 1854 and
located in Wisconsin, where he engag-
ed in farming. He responded to the
call of Uncle Sam for troops when the
war broke out, and enlisted in Co. E.,
3rd Wis. Inf. He served from 1861 to
1865, and was wounded at the battle
of Antietam. In 1866 he removed to
Danville, in this county, and has re-
NAMED there ever since. His neigh
bOrs have bestowed the offices of post
master, supervisor and assessor upon
him, and the latter Office he has held
eleven years. He has meyer moved
from the farm and has raised family
of ten fine children. He has always
been opposed to monOpolies and the
farmers and business men can safely
trust their interests to his care. He
believes in having better system of
roads. Mr.. Laurisch is pleasant,
Intelligent gentleman and his election
is assured.
