Mcdonald For The ASsembIu.

Voters should not forget that the
next legislature will elect United
States senator and that it is of the
greatest concern that a republican be
chosen. The republican nominee for
the Fist Assembly district of Grant
county is Thomas Mcdonald. Jr A
vote for him is ballot for republican
supremacy in national affairs. In
times like these when such tremendous
issues are at stake. when the welfare
anc honor of the nation yes. even its
very existence-are involved. repub-
licans cannot afford to let friendships
or other personal reasons draw them
away from allegiance to the regular
nominees for legislative offices. Mr..
Mcdonald should receive the united
support of the republicans of the First
District.

Obituary..
ALFRED BARK.

Mr.. Alfred Bark an old resident of
the town of Lancaster, died at his home
in Lancaster Wednesday evening, Oct
14th, as the result OF a fall of about
three feet from a ladder, while gather
ing apples.
Mr.. Bark was born in Worcester,
England. September %, 1928, and
came to America in the spring OF 1916.
He settled in the town of Little Grant
on a farm, and remained there until
1888, when he moved with his family
to Lancaster locating just north of the
city limits
On board the same ship that brought
Mr.. Bark to America was young lady
by the name of Addison, also seeking
home in the new world. Their ac-
quaintance and friendship ripened into
love and in 1847 they were united in
marriage. Thirteen children were
born to them, eleven Of whom are
still living. Some live IN Iowa, some
in Nebraska, some in Wisconsin. All
were present at the funeral The
children are all married but three

For Clerk of the Court.

The people eff Grant County have
always elected good and efficient men
to fill the office of Clerk of the Court.
The present incumbent, j. 9. Chur-
chill. who is the republican party's
nominee for reelection, ranks with
his predecessors in all that makes a
faithful painstaking servant of the
people. Mr. Churchill is self made
man and the republican party in hon
oring him has brought credit upon
itself by so doing.
Mr.. Churchill deserves reelection
and the voters will see that he is re-
elected with an increased majority
over two years ago.
1t is with the greatest confidence
in his ability and integrity that we
ask every republican to vote for him.
To other voters who style themselves
independent, we cheerfully recon
mend him and ask for him their votes.
TO voters in all other parties we
believe vote given j. c. Churchill
will be something you will hug your
self for for wears TO come.

4 Vote for j. b. Mauer for County
Treasurer. He is the regular nomi-
nee Of the Republican party. He is
a German, a farmer aud merchant and
very competent man to ill the office.
Many good men have filed the office
OF County Treasurer in Grant county.
but Of none can il be said that he sur
passes Mr.. Mauer in ability, honesty
or worthiness.
Mr.. Mauer is thoroughly upright
man, and to the voters Of Grant
county we can consistently say vote
for him, work for him.

For District Httorneu.

VIM. +. Howe, republican candidate
for District Attorney, was born at
Monona, Clayton county, Iowa. Jan
uary IL, 1851. In the fall of 1869 he
entered the university of Wisconsin
and graduated in the close of 1873
He studied law in the office Of Judge
Carpenter of Madison and graduated
at the Wisconsin law school in 1877.
Since which time he has been engaged
in the practice of law in this state ex-
cept about five years spent in the
west. He was a mum Der of wears one
of the well-known attorneys at La
Crosse and came to Boscobel in this
county in the spring of 1892.
He has been almost uniformly
successful as practitioner and
deservedly islands in the front
rank of the Grant County bar.
He enjoys the reputation OF being
an able, honest and Industrious law
yer. The legal affairs of the county
can be safely entrusted to his hands.
In June 1895 Mr.. Howe was mar
ried to Mary T. Carrier. the eldest
daughter Of Ex-sheritT Il. Carrier d
this county
We venture the prediction that
Mr. Howe will be elected by large
majority and male an official record
OF which the county will be proud

Horace Hymer for Sheriff.

The Republicans this year have
nomin ated man for Sheriff who can
be conscientiously supported by every
true republican. There is not the
least doubt of fhe election of Horace
Hymer as the next sheriff of Grant
County and that the people will be
served ably and well IS without ques-
ton. His course in obtaining the
nomination was honorably in very re-
spect, while the same can be said of
every candidate on the ticket. Gem
orally the fight Of opposition is
made against the head of the ticket.
If the nominees of the democratic
ticket are too good to be good republic
cans they are too good to receive good
republican votes. Republican
voters do not be led astray
by the taffy given YOU by the oppo-
neuts of the republican nominees but
vote for each and every republican to
a man.

The State Ticket.

The Republican state ticket this
year is an exceptionally good one.
Major Schoiield, the nominee for
governor. is acknowledged by every
one to be the right kind of a man for
the place. He is held in the highest
esteem by the people Of his section of
the state. His war record is of the
best.
OF the other state officers, all have
served one term and have, so conduct
ed the affairs of their respective offices
as to bring great credit to the party.
One has OILY to go to Madison and
visit the different departments to be-
come convinced that all of the offices
are conducted on sound business prin-
eiples.
Henry Casson, the nominee for see
Rotary of state we wish to especially
compliment for the excellent conduct
Of his office and we believe the same
can be said of all the other officers.

his committee room or in the depart
ments.
This enormous capacity for work,
the method with which it is carried
out and the organizing skill for which
Mr.. Babcock is also noted, led to his
selection two years ago as chairman
of the Republican Congressional Cam
paign committee. In this capacity
he did valiant service towards the ac-
complishment of the overwhelming
republican victory. His forecast of
the result was regarded as eXtrava-
giant by those who did not know the
immense labor and consequent thor
ough knowledge that enabled him to
make the prediction; but the returns
destroyed all doubts as to his perfect
understanding of the situation, and
today his prophecy of a good republic
can majority in the next Congress is
hailed by the party leaders and voters
as evidence of fact already accom-
plished.
This years finds Mr.. Babcock again
at the head of the Congressional Cam
paign committee, not only assuming
its burdens. but, in addition under
taking for the first time a large. part
OF the National committees work.
But he IS equal TO the task, and has
already practically completed it.

The voters of the Third Congress-

FOR ASSEMBLY 9ND. DIST.
HON. A. L. UT, REPUBLI GAN
NOMINEE,

Il Is with much pleasure that we
are enabled this week to present to
our readers cut OF Hon. A. l.. TIT,
together With Il brief outline of his
record
Mr.. UT was born in this county in
the town of Harrison in 1856 and has
since therein resided. He has been a
life long republican and for 10 years
has held the Office of town treasurer
TO which office he, :, has several times
been unanimously elected. He has
been an untiring worker for the best
interests of the party and has always
been prominent figure at Republic
can gatherings. He was elected to
the assembly in 1894 by the largest
majority ever given in the Second
Assembly district. He is man of
industry and sterling worth and made
an excellent record as q member OF
the last assembly; consequently he
was this year re-nominated at Potosi
on the first ballot, His re-nomina-
ton should receive the hearty en-
.dorsement of every republican in the
district
II would beawell for voters to re-
member that Mr.. UT recorded his
vote on the right side ON the treasury
eases and in all other Legislative
measurcss also that vote for re-
publican candidate for the assembly
means a vote for sound money, home
markets and national prosperity, and
for the restoration to power OF the
representatives ofhonest government.
Fhe legislature, which meets the COM
ing winter, will elect d. United States
senator to succeed w. +. Villas Meth
on republicans nor other honest mon
=ey men can afford 70 hesitate in regard
to legislative candidates ON account Of
mere local affairs. There is no local
issue which should be allowed to
modify the Importance of the national
policy. Every fair-minded voter rec
ognizes the imp ortance of electine men
who will possess influence and stand
ing at Madison and who will faithfully
represent their constituents All re-
pubicans and all other supporters of
OF good government should take no
chances, but work and vote for the
candidates Of the republican party.

well represented by the prominent

ker temporary secretary. On motion

enberger and Jos. Baker was ap-
pointed. A motion to make the tenn
porary organization permanent was
carried. On motion Dan Shea, of this
city, was unanimously nominated for
County Attorney. 1t was then moved
that E. G. Shaw, of Bluffton, be unani-
mOusly nominated for the office of
County Auditor, which motion was
carried. A motion was next made
that the convention proceed to an in
formal ballot for the nomination of a
candidate for Clerk of Courts, which
ballot resulted as follows; M. A.
Kubish, of Fort Atkinson, 644, and
Peter Goldberg, of Hesper, 434. On
motion formal ballot was taken, Nj.
A. Kubish receiving II votes and Peter
Goldberg 80. The nomination of M.
A. Kubish was made unanimous. Next

The delegations from the first and
third supervisors districts then re-
paired to different parts of the assembly
room and nominated w. w. Carter, of
Ossian, for supervisor from the 1st
district, and q. Gardner for supervisor
from the Sd district.
