Audubon County Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Audubon Co., Iowa) 1885-1894, 1893-10-12
THE TICKET.

The ticket nominated by the republi-
can convention last week was chosen
with full confidence in its triumphant
election at the polls and with an eye to
the fact that each nominee should be a
fit man for the office to which he as
pires. 1t was made in complete har.
mony and union of purpose and should
therefore, command not only the suff-
rage but the working support of every
republican in the county. With such
volunteer organization in behalf of the
whole ticket its success at the polls will
be assured.
MARION d. REED, the nominee for
representative, is resident of Extra,
and pastor of the Congregational
church. He is about thirty years Of
age, and having lived a number OF
years near Anita has been known to
the people of that part of the county
as boy and man. In every position in
life he has been upright and honorable
and merited the warm friendship which
attests his worth among those where
he is best known. He came to the con-
ventiOn as delegate from Extra and
was unknown to many, but his clear
cut and eloquent speech as temporary
chairman, bristling with pat points,
made him the hero of the hour, and the
Office went forth seeking the man and
wasn't satisfied until it found him.
Since that day everything has approved
the nomination. Mr.. Reed has ap-
peared before audiences at several
points to give his views on the political
situation and has been received with
enthusiasm and commended with can
dor at every point. He is especially
alive to the need of immediate opposi.
tion to influences which created and
are perpetuatiny the financial and in
dustrial depression throughout the
country and if chosen to represent
the people they may rest in the assur-
ance that his voice and vote will be
right in every particular. Mr.. Reeds
position upon the much mooted ques.
ton in Iowa has been plainly and re-
peatedly told. He is personally a pro-
hibitionist standing squarely upon
the republican state platform.
l.. ID. PHELPS, the nominee for treas
urer, has an acquaintance almost as
wide us the county, and is personally
known to the vast majority of our
readers. More than ten years ago he
came to Audubon from the green
mountains of Vermont, came here to
enter the wider field of opportunities
which the west offers to ambitious and
worthy young men. His career has
been exclusively in business lines. En-.
tering law Office he there remained
for several years and became familiar
with business forms. When the Com
mercial Bank was established he was
employed as book keeper and was later
promoted for honorable and meritOri.
Gus service to the important posi-
llOIl VI Cdollcl Will Oil 10 tiuoeo duu
responsibilities. With this institution
he remained five years, giving complete
satisfaction to both employer and pa
irons, and retired last spring for rea,
sous sufficient to those immediately in
terested, and retired with the fullest
confidence of his employer and with
only words of commentator for his
work and character, This year when
an honorable and competent man was
wanted for receiver of the Hash stock
in Extra Mr.. PHELPS was quickly rec
ognized as proper man and was so Sc
lected. 1t is indeed pleasure to us to
recommend man who has filled all
these positions requiring ability, ex
perience and integrity, for treasurer OF
the county. In every position he has
met the requirements completely
And it is q stronger recommendation
than we can write to be able to refer tc
his employers for unqualified endorse
ment. Mr.. PHELPS business record il
an open book, his life has been lived il
Audubon, and those who reflect will
| find in their own thoughts the proof o.
all we say. He is experienced, capable
and trustworthy to the fullest extern
and will make a superior county treas
urer. 1t is most important position
and the convention had this thought il
mind when it nominated one so wei
! fitted in every way.
II. n. CARPER, the nominee TO
, sheriff, is the right man for that posi-
ton. The boys take off their hats ant

he could have had the nomination, bu
declined it in the interests of harmon
I and to give all parts of the count
! equal representation, then he went in
to the field and did effective work fo
the ticket. 1t is true that his politics
record will excite every effort of tn
managers of the opposition to defea
him, but with united republican yot
he will triumph over them. The fac

q third term candidate will give strengt
to Mr.. CARPEa's candidacy. There

. term in offices of this character. MI
CARRIER has been engaged in man
positions and has proved competer
$ man at every point. AS sheriff he wi
perform the duties promptly and CO
rectly and make a good record in tha
position. Nate is all right ia ever
