REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET
Is Strong One and Should Be Elected
Without q Break.

Without Break.
The Republican county ticket is
one of the strongest that the party
has ever presented to the voters of
Blue Earth county for their suffrages
The affairs of the county have been
well managed in every particular IN
der Republican rule. which is one OF
the best reasons why the representa-
tives of the party should be continued
in power another term.
1t is moreover the only complete
county ticket that has been nominal
ed in the county this fall, and was
put forth by regularly called con-
vention, in a deliberaJive manner
without any political cbicanery. Jug
glery or jobbery. Each candidate
was nominated for the position
be stands. because of his fitness to
honestly and faithfully discharge the
duties of that office. The desire of the
Republican convention was to present
TO the people Of Blue Earth county a
list of official nominations that would
meet with the endorsement of ma
jority of the tax payers of the county
men who will look carefully after
their interests in the management of
the county busine ss, and it is con-
fidentIy believed it has succeeded in
this most admirably.
First upon the list comes Paul A.
Gunders for county auditor. He has
faithfully performed the duties Ct
that office for nearly four years past,
has instituted many reforms in the
office beneficial to the taxpayer, and
has been instrumental in, placing
much property Of corporations upon
the assessment rolls. His continu-
ance means faithful conduct of the
office in behalf of the taxpayer for
the next two years. Be sure and
place an X opposite his name on the
official ballot.
j. A. Ewing, has made most faith
full and efficient county treasurer, has
looked carefully after all the details
OF his office. and deserves the endorse
ment of the taxpayers of the county
for second term. Remember and
give him your vote on Tuesday next.
There has been no more capable Of
fetal in the register Of deeds office
than Ben Bangerter. He is always
most courteous and accommodating
to all, has kept all records Of his office
in most business-like shape. Place
an X after his name on the official
ballot.
For clerk of the court, Stephen
Thorne has no opposition, but that is
no reason why you should neglect to
endorse most excellent official. See
that your ballot is marked for him.
For sheriff, the Republican nomi-
nee is Fred Gerlich, Of MCPHERSON
township. Mr.. Gerlich is tirst-class
business man, fully capable of dis |
charging the many duties OF this i'm
portant office in a most satisfactory
manner. He has made a splendid
can Hass, and should be elected by a
good majority. Do not fail to vote
for Fred Gerlich.
VIM. f. Hughes, candidate for pro-
bate judge is. a good lawyer and his
extensive practice before that court
has made him perfectly familiar with
all the details of the Office. AS pro-
bate Judge he will discharge all the
important trusts that will be imposed
upon him in a most conscientious
manner, and the interests OF all con-
cerned will be most carefully guarded
Cast your vote for VIM. f. Hughes
for probate judge.
The office of county attorney has
never been more carefully nor ably
administered than it has by Thos.
Hughes. There have been no heavy
bills OF costs saddled upon the tax /
payers for ill-advised litigation.
Every case has been most carefully
inquired into and not prosecuted I'M
less good reasons were presented that
could be sustained in court. Such
conscientious duty should be reward
ed by an endorsement at the polls in
the shape OF second term.
