AN EXCELLENT TICKET.
The Republican County Ticket
is Good in All Re-
sp5Cts.
Able, Popular and Competent
Men for Every
Position.


Republican convention Is one that
deserves the support OF every Re-
publican voter in the county, and
invites the confidence Of all voters
who wish to see the affairs of the
county conducted in the best inter
ests OF the taxpayers. 1t ia a ticket
that will make u determined fight to
win, and when 1t does win the
officials will be equally energetic In
! giving the county the best services
possible.
James A. Nichols, the candidate
for auditor, has for many years been
a resident vi the county, aud always
worked for the success Ut the ticket.
He Is u farmer and lumberman, and
lives in Bellevue town, eust OF Royal
ton. Much OF his time Is spent In
cruising and estimating timber. He
ia a man OF education and ability,
and no better candidate could be
found in the county for the place.
For treasurer the convention
selected H. n. Harding, who has
been in business in Little Falls Tor
several years. He IL one OF the most
| pol ular men in the community, and
Is u candidate against whom not
one word can be said. The people
Of the county have no pleasahter
duty this fall than electing Mr..
Harding to the Office Of treasurer.
Sheriff Rider was renOminated hy
reclamation. and his administration
of the office entitled him to that
honor. He is conceded by all to be
| the best sheriff the county ever had,
and his election is not questioned ty
anyone. The taxpayers Of the
county appreciate his work and
record, an it will be to their par
tcular advantage to see that such
merit as Mr.. Riuer possesses does
not fail of hearty endorsement.
l.. J. Gaudet was named for regis
ter of deeds after u manly contest
with worthy competitors. He de-
serves well at the hands OF the
Republican party, and will be a loyal
worker for every candidate on the
ticket. He is thoroughly imbued
with Republicanism. and has given
and will always give other nominees
the same hearty support that will
now be extended to him.
Judge Richardson was placed on
the ticket for Judge Of probate again,
and will continue to hold the office.
"Uncle Nate" just gets votes. when
they are being cast. and men OF all
parties delight to aid him.
County Attorney Rhodes was
elected two years ago, and his ad-
ministration of the office certainly
entitled him fairly to the endorse
ment he received at the hands OF his
party. He is just as fairly entitled
to an endorsement at the polls. The
county attorney exerts a large intiu-
ence in county affairs, and the con-
duct of no other Otlicer can as greatly
affect the interests of the county. In
his many and complicated duties Mr..
Rhodes has been y staunch supporter
of the county's best interests. ut the
expense of whatever Influences or
interests stood in the way OF duty.
He has in truth served the county.
AS he honestly saw his duty in every
instance, 50 has he conducted himself.
No, officer can be placed in a more
difficult position than to stand be-
tween the personal interests OF
friends and the rights of the general
community, and whenever County
Attorney Rhodes found suchinterests
clashing, his duty us an official was
faithfully performed.
Nels Peterson was renOmlnated
for county surveyor, and the very
satisfactory manner in which he has
performed his duties will insure his
reelection. He has been tried in his
position for two years, and he Is the
right man in the right place.
DR.. Trace declined to take place
on the ticket for coroner, as the du-
ties often interfere with his PROBES
sional practice. No Republican ply
stefan cared for the position, so l.. D.
Brown, who had been DIR. Traces
deputy, was named for the place.
Attorney NJ. f. Lewis, an active
Republican worker, and a popular
member of the bar, was named Tor
court commissioner. The necessary
dignity and votes are both ut his
command.
L. w. Aver, of Belle Prairie, is the
candidate for school superintendent
Mr.. Aver has held the position he
fore, and is well qualified for thu
place. He is a resident of the coun
try districts of the county, and thu
school superintendent is OF direc'
interest to the county schools. Hi
authority is limited to them, thei
patrons and supporters should hav'
