He can 60 before you again with a clear

judiciary Committee of the last legis-

dent of the city of Marshfeld, a man
of integrity and character and
thoroughly competent for the office he
seeks. He was born in st. Lawrence

Lived in the towns of Rock and Lincoln,

he moved to Marshfield where he has
resided ever since. He was town
clerk and chairmen of the town OF
| Marshfield before the city was in
| corporated. He is one of the pioneers
of that city. He was postmaster in
that city from 1877 up to Clevelands
first term, since which time he has
served as clerk and supervisor for that
city. He was elected city treasurer in
1898, and reelected in 1894. In every
office he has ever held for city or town

gardless of his politics he has always
been elected by the people and will be

NASH MITCHELL.
| Republican candidate for reelection
to the Office of Register of Deeds, is
Row i46W a resident CT Centraiia, by virtue
of his Office, but formerly resided in
Pittsville. He is jeweler by trade
Two years ago we knew but little about
| him for he was comparative stranger
in our midst. After two years service
as Register in this County we can say
for him that Wood county never had q
man in that office his superior fol-
efficiency in every particular, and few
his equal. The Democrats and Re.
publicans alike accord him the credit
of being one of the most competent
officers we ever had. What more
could be said of anyone aspiring to
office. He is not only a good officer
but good citizen, prompt and accurate
in the discharge of his duties in one OF
the most trying offices in the county.
We have no fears but what he will be
reelected.
