For CIerk of Circuit Court.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The name of T. H..
Edwards OF the town of Liberty will be
presented to the Republican County
Convention for the Office of Clerk of
Circuit Court of Grant county. He
was born near Hazel Green, Wis, and
lived in that village until April last,
when he moved his family to Stiizer
He was educated al the ''old Academy
at Hazel Green, in which Judge Glen.
entson and the present editor of THE
HERALD were educated. being a class
mate of Mr.. Harper.
Mr. Edwards is man of fine schol-
arly attsinments, added TO which is a
good knowledge of law. He is a man
of strictlv good habits, and sterling
ability. He was three times elected
town clerk of the town of Hazel Green,
and served two terms as justice of the
peace in the same town; was elected for
ten successive years as president of the
village of Hazel Green, and represent
cd that village on the county board as
county supervisor for ten years. Those
who were members of the board during
that time, will remember that from the
first year of his membership, until the
last year, he was an active, leading
member; being called on 10 act as chair
man of various standing and special
committees
Mr.. Edwards. like many other men.
who are well qualified to hill almost any
office in thu gift OF the people, on ac-
count of his business duties, has not
the time to travel over the county, solic-
iting voters to support him for office.
but remains at home attending strictly
to business, trusting TO the fact that the
voters of this county are q reading.
thinking class of men. who will inform
themselves in that way as to whom they
desire TO Ill the different offices in the
county.
Il seems to my mind that the town of
Liberty (hke some other towns In the
county, has never been favored with a
place on the county ticket. Would il
net be well TO give her place now,
when she offers the name of a candid
ate so ably qualified to fill the office for
which Mr.. Edwards will be presented.
Another point to which | desire to
direct the attention of voters is this:
Would 1t not be good policy to nomi.
nate middle-aged men; men of families.
to ill the different offices. instead Of
young, single men; who are able to
work hard, and readily earn plenty OF
money IN other walks of life. II seems
to me that young men can afford to
wait until the claims of older ones have
first been considered, sll other things
being equal
In conclusion. let me say. if you want
n man to till the Office of Clerk of the
Court in an able, mastery manner,
nominate and vote for r II Edwards.
