JOHN A. LOVELY,
FOR ASSOCIATE JUSTICE SUPREME
COURT.

COURT.
Mr.. Lovely is one Of the best known
members of the legal fraternity of Min
nesota, and was given the nomination
asa candidate for associate justice of
the supreme court with great enthusi-
asm. He comes from sturdy Revolu-
tionary stock among the green hills of
Vermont, having been born at Burling-
ton Nov. Is, 1913. Like most Of our
successful and prominent Western men,
his early education was the result Of
personal sacrifices and industrious eff
forts to obtain means therefor. Mr..
Lovely came West at the age Of nine
teen years, locating at Milwaukee,
where after two years residence he was
admitted to the bar Of Wisconsin, and
later for three years practiced his pro-
fession at Watertown in that state,
thence removing to Minnesota and To-
eating at Albert Lea, where he has
since resided, during a period Of over
thirty years, except for two years when
his business required his location in st.
Paul.
Mr.. Lovely served as county attorney
for Freeborn county for several terms,
and for four years, from 1886 to 1890,
he was president of the State Bar AS
ISOLATION of this state. He is widely
known throughout the state as jurist
and eloquent advocate. He has had a
very large practice, both in the city and
county courts, as we'll as in the state
and federal supreme courts. He has
been unusually successful in cases
against corporations, and has been es-
pecially active in many suits: which
have secured for railroad employees
their rights and protection for life and
limb. There is hardly volume Of the
reports Of cases decided by the supreme
court of Minnesota for the last twenty
five years where the result Of his labors
are not to be found. Among the many
cases Of this character is one tried be-
fore a Ramsey county court and jury
where Mr.. Lovely recovered for a rail
road engineer injured in a collision, the
substantial sum Of $4,000, the largest
verdict ever recovered for. a railroad
employs in the United States.

HON. AUGUST 7. KoERNER,
CANDIDATE FOR STATE TREAS
URER.

Hon. August T. Koerner, treasurer of
Minnesota and candidate for the same
office, was born July Z, 1913, in Ger
many. When fourteen years of age he
came to the United States, residing for
a time in Missouri. In 1860 he removed
to Indiana for the purpose Of engagin g
in the milling business, but had hardly
commenced his career when the War of
the Rebellion broke out. Imbued with
that spirit that the government could
not be wrong, a spirit which brought
so many Of our German-Americans into
the Union army, Mr.. Koerner, forsak-
ing his work, enlisted in the Sixth Indi-
ana Volunteer regiment. Later he re-
enlisted in the TWenty-siXth Indiana
Volunteer regiment, serving in all for
four years and three months under the
starry flag. He participated in all in
seventeen battles, including that of
Vicksb1Wg, and at the battle Of Prairie
Grove he was wounded in the left arm
by rifle ball. -
At the close of the war Mr.. Koerner
went to Troy, ILL.,, and in 1867 located
permanently in Minnesota. having
made trip to this state two years
previously. He made his home in
Meeker county, where he took a farm.
After losing several crops he gave up
farming and engaged in clerical work.
In 1877 he was elected register of deeds
Of Meeker county, occupying the posi-
ton for three consecutive terms, being
reelected each time with increasing
majorities. In 1890 he was appointed
postmaster at Litchfeld, but resigned
eighteen months later to accept seat
in the legislature, to which he had been
elected by a large vote in one Of the
most bitter political contests of his
county.
For many years Mr.. Koerner was a
committee, and only resigned to accept
a nomination for the position of STATE
treasurer in 1894, to which he was
elected by one Of the largest votes ever
to the same place for a second term
spoke volumes for the manner in which
he had conducted his office. To say the
least, denomination for a third term
is most high tribute to the sterling
qualities Of the man thus honored. Mr..
Koerner has not disappointed the peo-
pie Of the state, and his term has been
marked by an alertness for the security
Of public funds never surpassed.
Though a number of banks suspended,
with large deposits of state money in
their possession, every dollar has been
practically recovered and the treasury
of the state has not been loser, a rec
ord Of which any man may be proud.
Mr.. Koerner will go into his third term
with his usually large vote, for the peo-
pie are not unmindful of services faith
fully performed.

HON. ALBERT BERG,
CANDIDATE FOR SECRETARY OF
STATE.

Albert Berg is another example of the
American boy, who, unaided save by
his own determination, makes his way
to the front and wins the esteem and
confidence of the people. Twice has he
been returned to the high position Of
secretary of state, and again has he
been placed in nomination for the
same office by the Republicans Of the
state. An American boy because born
on American soil, he is the son Of
sturdy Swedish parents. He is also a
native Of our own State Of Minnesota,
having been born at Centre City in Chi
sage county, June 25, 1861. His father
was Mr.. Jonas Berg, whose patriotism
was shown by his enlistment in the

An expert in official work. and possess
ing a remarkably retentive memory,

records an abstract Of nearly all the
land titles in his county. This expe-
rtence ripened him for the duties Of
secretary Of state, which he has so ably
performed.
In 1892 he was a delegate from this
state to the national Republican con-
vention, and the same year he was a
formidable candidate for the position
which came to him two years later.
The best work Of Mr.. Berg during his
present term of office was the state
census of June 1, 1895. With an ap-
preparation far too limited he Sue
ceeded in giving the state the best,
most complete and comprehensive cen
sus yet produced, and which has at
tracted favorable comment at home and
abroad MI. Berg is a member Of the
Lutheran church, belongs to the frater-
nifty of .Masons, Elks, Knights Of Py-
thias, and other societies. He is per-
sona1ly most affable gentleman, one
who delights to meet his constituents
in an open manner, and who, without
ALLOWING the duties of his office to be
neglected. has shown. bis personal
qualities by the host of friends he has
made during his residence in the capt.
tai city. AS vote winner it may be
: mentioned that in the election Of 1894
he received 4,75S more votes than Mel

defeated the mocratic-Populist fus-
ion candidate by lead of 49, 1852 votes,
and his plurality was IS, 445.
