REPUBLICAN COUNTY NOMINEES
List of Good Nsmes-Evey One Competent,
Honest and Worthy.

1
pie of Iowa county as republican nom
inees for the various county offices
will all bear the closest scrutiny. OF
each 1t can be unhesitatingly said,
"he is honest, he is capable, he Is of
unblemished personal character
! Nothing further should be necessary
to assure the election of everyone of
these candidates, as they are repre-
sentatives of the political principles
with which majority of the people
are believed TO be in accord. This is
asserted on evidence seen on every
hand within the past year, and con-
fidently expected to be fully demon
strated by the ballots in November.
Because custom seems to call for it
more than because our readers need
information concerning these nomi-
nees, the following brief biographies
are prepared:
| WILLIAM A. JONES,
our next representative in the state
| assembly, is native of Wales, but
when an infant came with his par
ents to America. AS boy he assist
ed in making the farm upon which he
was reared, in the town of Miff1in,
and he knows no home outside of
Iowa county. In the country district
school he began his education, and
finished as graduate of the Platte
vile normal school. He followed ed
ucational work for time, serving as
principal of the Mineral Point high
school, and as county superintendent
for two terms. Through his whole
life he has taken keen interest in the
public schools, serving almost con-
stantly as superintendent or member
of the school board since his resi-
dence in this city. Upon the estab-
lishment of the Mineral Point Zinc
works, and his brothers David and
Thomas becoming principal owners,
Mr.. Jones became connected with
that great enterprise as manager,
superintendent, etc. So generous, so
considerate, so honorable, so affable,
has Mr.. Jones ever been in his extern
sive dealings and associations with
the people, that it is scarcely con-
ceivable that any one who has work
ed for him, or from whom he has
bought load of ore, will be found to
vote against him. Throughout the
county he is known as Will Jones,
the strongest testimony that the peo-
pie regard him as one Of them. Not
less than 500 majority is confidently
predicted for him.
JOHN HENRY CARRoW.
After carefully considering the sew
eral good men suggested for the i'm
portant Office of sheriff, the conven-
ton on third ballot chose John H.
Carrow, of the staunch republican
town of Linden, and even those who
came to support other aspirants, read
lily acknowledged that the best had
been done. Mr.. Carrow is thorough
Badger Boy, having been born in the
town of Linden, and resided there
constantly during his 38 years of life.
He acquired common school educa-
ton, and is well qualified for the Of
flee to which he is about to be elected.
Mining has been his principal voca-
ton. For two or three terms he has
served as assessor of his town, being
elected each time by Il larger major
ity, attesting his popularity. His adj
ministration of the difficult office has
been conscientious, painstaking and
highly satisfactory. While prepar
ing to explode dynamite cartridge,
in celebration of the natal day, last
4th of July, Mr.. Carrow received an
injury, which it was feared would
cost him his eyesight, but happily
one eye was saved intact, so that he
is none the worse 50 far as perform
ing the duties of sheriff is concerned
THOMAS /. WILLIAMS,
the man selected to handle the
county funds, is hustling business
man of Barneveld, in the town of Brig
ham, where most Of his life has been
spent. He is another of that sturdy
race that has contributed so much to
the glory of great Britain, and fur
nished SO many of the best American
citizens, and supplies us 50 much Of
our tin plate-the province of Wales.
Tom /. is one Of the best representa-
tives of his good class; honest, intelli-
gent, patriotic and energetic. He
served as postmaster Of his village
during Harrison's term very accept
ably. He is one of the many Welsh
men who is too good an American not
to want to see stiff import duty on
foreign tin plate, to protect the Amer
lean manufacturer of that article.
"He il all right and will get there.
CAPT. D. q. JONES.
