THE NOMINEES.


B. M. VanAlstein, the nominee for
county auditor, is serving his fourth
term in that position. He is a COM
petent official and devotes his entire
time to the duties of the office. He
numbers his friends by the score in
every town in the county and will be a
hard man to down. ~ s...
r. M. Nicely, the nominee for county
treasurer, is also serving his fourth
term in that capacity. He is one of
the most conscientious and painstaking
officials that Mile Laos county has
ever had. He is scrupulously honest
and is always at his desk during bust
ness hours. e,
r. r. Whitney, the nominee for
register of deeds, is a Princeton born
boy, although he has resided in Fores-
ton for ten years past. He is young
man of excellent habits and he is one
of the best penmen in the county. His
nomination was a just recognition of
the claims of the north end of the
county to representation on the ticket.
L. S. Briggs, the nominee for clerk
OF court, is serving the last year of his
first term. No one can question
his ability. Mile Laos county never
had more competent clerk of court
than L. S. Briggs.
J. L. Brady, the nominee for county
attorney, filled that office acceptably
from '82 to 'S4. He developed great
strength in the convention. Mr..
Brady is a good lawyer. He will poll a
big vote in the north end Of the county
especially. He has friends who will
work hard to elect him, and some enc
mics who will work as hard, to defeat
him.
| A. F. Howard, the nominee for sher-
if, is serving his seventh consecutive
term in that capacity. Art. Howard as
he is Familiarity called, is one of the
best vote-getters in the county and is a
hard man to beat. He has incurred
the enmity of some of the lake settlers,
but he is especially strong in Milaca,
Milo and Greenbush, and his opponent,
if he has any, will be obliged to hustle
r. w. Freer, the nominee for Judge
OF probate, held that office from SS to
80. Mr.. Freer is a plain farmer and
an ex-soldier, having served in the
gallant First Minnesota. He will be a
strong candidate at the polls on cleo
ton day. Mr. Freer is a resident of
the town of Milo. ...
Mrs. O. r. Barker, the nominee for
county superintendent of schools, is
serving her eighth term. She was the
first lady superintendent in the State.
Mrs. Barker is one of the most efficient
superintendent in Minnesota Her
heart and soul is in the work and she
takes great pride in the punctual and
thorough performance of the duties of
her Office. She has received the high
est encomiums from the State superin-
tendent and the conductors of the sew
eral institutes and training schools
held here. The action of the conven-
ton in nominating her will will be en-
Enthusiastically ratified at the polls. s.
r. F. Mcclellan is a practical sur
veyor, and thoroughly understands his
business. The convention made no
mistake in nominating him.
H. G. Head, the nominee for court
commissioner, is all right. He has
held that office for a number of years.
1t is not a lucrative office. The emolu-
ments of the Office in four years will
barely pay the $40 fee required
before his name can be placed on
the official ballot.
The probabilities are that VIM.
Bouck, the nominee for coroner, will
have little business to attend to in an
official capacity. At least we hope not.
John McCool, the nominee for county
commissioner in the First district, has
been tried and not found wanting. He
has held that Office for several years
past, and nothing can be said against
him, save that he manages to secure
more road appropriations for Green
bush than that town is entitled to, a
sin of commission that the people OF
that town will probably overlook.
E. S. Clinch, jr., as predicted by our
NIilaca correspondent several weeks
since, was the nominee for county COM
missioner in district No. 8. He is o
bright young business man, and if he is
elected he will guard the interests Of
NIilaca with Jealous care.
