c.NnInATEs FOR CONGRESS.


Mineral Point Tribune: 1t seems to
be foregone that there will be several
candidates before the neg. republican
convention for Mr.. Babcock's toga. AL
ready there are two avowed, active can
Sidates in the field, namely, State Sena-
tor g. FL. Baxter OF Grant county, and
Attorney @. J. Smith of Vernon county.
The former is known and respected as
legislator of ability, with an excellent
record. On all questions bis purpose is
to be right and to conscientiously dis
charge his duty to his constituents and
the state. The record of his votes show
this. Mr.. Smith is pleasantly remem-
bered in Iowa county for the eloquent
and strong arguments for the repubh-
can cause made by him during the cam
paign of 1896. 1t was the general opln-
ion OF those who heard him IN
Mineral Point, that his speech was second
to none delivered here in that year, and
they need no assurance that he has IN
him the stuff to make a good congress
man But "there are others" Mr. II
d. Eyane, the leading lawyer OF Sank
county, is said to have aspirations f0r
congressional honors. Not to be singu-
- rnrhlicans of Iowa county are
likely to present candidate in the per-
son of Hon. r. L Joiner, ex-state sena-
tor and county surveyor. Readers OF
the Tribune need 40 testimonials for
Mr.. joiner. They know him to be the
peer OF any named, man of education
and experience, of urquestioned integ-
rity, and a sturdiness of character to
stand for the people and with the people
under all circumstances.
