GAL.O ORE.
The SleeDy Eye DISPATCH Has Host Of
Them to Offer for County Offices.
There are Enough Of Them to Make Quite
Funeral Procession at the Con-
vention Wnd-up.
To Quite a Majority Of the New Corners
the People Will Have to Say "Nit."
The Sleepy Eye Dispatch of last week
took the trouble to trot out lot of can
didates for county offices. Here is it's
list:
First up, in this connection comes a
candidate for county auditor. At present
E.P. Bertrand holds that place and Demo-
crat though heis, E. P. Bertrand is one of
the fairest, squarest and most capable Off
GERS we have ever had. But Mr.. Bertrand
is not anxious to continue in public life
and would prefer to serve the people in
the capacity of judge of probate. For his
job we know of two or three good re-
publicans who would conduct affairs
creditably. There's Frank Buelow of
this place who made such gallant fight
two years ago but who fell short of sue
cess by less than two hundred votes; and
then there's N. Henningsou of New Ulm,
popular and we'll qualified gentleman
who would not hesitate to accept nom-
ination, II. G. Warnke of Springfield is
also mentioned for the place. Mr.. Warn
ke is first-class business man and would
be credit to the party electing him.
Each Of these gentlemen are held in high
esteem and either would make an efici-
ent officer and all are Republicans with
out qualification.
Right across the hall from the audi
tors office at the Court House is a door
bearing the legend "Register OF Deeds"
and Fred Pfaender, a Democrat, but
good fellow all the same, wcllds an off
cial pen much to the discomfort of our
party who think that a Republican
should be given the place. Will Grimes,
of Home, would fit in Pfaender's place
first rate and some of John Weddendorf's
friends think John would look well in
there too, and at present the talk we
speak of is divided between the Home
man and the New Ulm man. Should
either get the place the public would
have a good servant.
John Larson will hold on to the Clerk
of Courts office two years more, so we
pass his door. Just beyond the clerks
office we find Judge Of Probate Laudcn-
schlager, up to his eyes in work, and of
course he wants a denomination. MIR.
Laudenschlager is a good Republican
and makes good officer, but Oscar
Erickson's friends at Springfield and c.
3. Blake's friends at Sleepy Eye think
they know of at least two men who
would be just as satisfactory.
We will pass along to the County
Trcasurer's Office where Herr Burg COL
lects taxes and takes care of the coun-
tvs Cash with faithfulness and fidelity
that makes it dead easy for him to get
bondsmen wherever he wants them.
But Mr.. Burg has been there a long
while, and George Raverty, of Home,
VIM. Frank, of Cottonwood, Andrew E.
Lee, of Burnstown, and Gudman An
derson, of Linden, ,each have friends who
think about the county treasurer's office
every once in while with somebody ex-
scept Burg behind the counter.
Then there's the Sherif's comfortable
dwelling and nice job to look after.
Nels Anderson, fair, fat and forty, now
presides over the county's basti!e and
Nels is Il Republican,, but there are 9TH
eIs and some Of these others are just ach-
ing for Nels' job. John Kretsch of New
Ulm wants tc break into the iail and
Frank Greene OF Sleepy Eye walks
around easy and smiles engagingly when
the sherlff's job IS mentioned. Then
Nels wants to get back, too, SO there's
three men Of the same mind, and, should
the choice fall upon either, neither Of
them would drop dead. This county
needs a first class Superintendent of
Schools and we believe the Republican
party can select first class man for the
job. If Il. G. Hess Of Sleepy Eye or w.
r. Kunze of Prairieville viii accept a
nomination, we think they have friends
enough to elect them. Mr.. Hess is at
present superintendent Of our High
School Ia good school man and an ener-
