and city clerk of Dodgeville ever
since It's charter was granted. Mr..
Prideaux suffers from the effects of
an unfortunate accident which be-
fell him in the mines on Lake
Superior when he was yet but lad
of tender years and engaged in the
heavy work of the mines to support
his widowed mother, his sister, and
younger brothers. The discharge
of a premature blast carried away
his left band and a great portion of
his arm; leaving him almost in

THE Republican candidate for
county school supt. is a young man
named Thomas j. Jones, raised at
the county seat The Chronicle
refers to him as follows: "He is
an honored son of an honored
father, the late Rev. Joseph Jones,
who was for many years in his
lifetime pastor of the Baptist
church, in this city, and is young
man of exceptionally fine ability as
a teacher in the public schools. He
is a graduate of the Dodgeville
High school under the principal
ship of Prof. j. w. Livingston,
and for a long time was teacher
in the Dodgeville High school.
Since then he has graduated from
the Platteville Normal school
where a course of special instruc-
ton is given to those who expect to
| follow teaching as a profession. He
is now Principal of the Linden
High school, and no young man
ever rose more steadily and per-
manently in the estimation of tie
leading educators of the state than
has our young and talented friend
Thomas J. Jones'"
SYMPArHY.-Two years ago sym
pathy was the leverage which
boosted the present county clerk,
Henry Halverson, into office.
Again he is the Democratic
nominee. IT'S true that he is a
cripple and worthy of due CON
sideration; but Andrew T. Nc
Cutchin, of Arena, the Republican
candidate for that Office this year,
is also a young man of misfortune,
he having met with an accident
in his childhood which permanently
crippled his back and seriously
affected his constitution. His means
are meager and his physical con
dition such as to disable him from
making a thorough canvass Of the
county, and therefore it is not
! Iikalv that voters will have much
Of an opportunity to become per.
sonally acquainted with him before
election, but if morality, integrity,
competency and misfortune are
duly considered by voters in mark
ling their ballots, there will be
ample opportunity to form an ao-
ouaintance when he is serving as
county clerk.
THE Republicans have ticket
/ in the field for county officers which
they can take pride in supporting,
! for there is not man on it who is
not well qualified for the position
| for which he is named, aud com
petent to fill it with credit to him
self and for the best interests Of the
county. The ticket commends it.
self to the voters of Iowa county
in every way, and deserves and
should receive the full party vote.
/ No good Republican but can give il
a hearty and loyal support. The
entire ticket should be elected by a
large majority. The people demand
good men for the Offices to be filed
as well as party qualification, and
this they have in both respects
