and despoil. He is likewise good
worker and faithful servant.
ROBERT JAMESON,
of Rapidan, is also the present member
of the house from this county. Made
of sturdy Scotch blood, he is as honest
as the day is long, friend and defend
er of the rights of the people, and a
true representative of the farmer who
farms" Mr.. Jameson lays no claims
to being a debater, but his friends
know him to be a worker, which counts
for more than being talker.
GILBERT GUTTERsoN
Is known to everybody in the county,
and his advent into the campaign will
be hailed with pleasure by many. Hav-
ing had good deal of legislative expe-
rience, he will carry with him, if NOM
mated and elected, an acquaintance
that will make him formidable as a
candidate for speaker in the next
house. Mr.. Gutterson needs no especial
words of introduction to the people of
Blue Earth county, as his long residence
here, coupled with his splendid record
as a legislator, are all too we'll known.
H. H. EDWARDS,
Of Judson, one of the best-known men
of Welsh extraction in the county,
served the county on the board of COM
missioners so long and so well that his
friends feel he would make an especial
ly valuable man in the legislature.
And he would. For years Mr. Ed
wards served as railway mail agent
and voluntarily resigned. He is one of
the old and reliable farmers of the
county, and an energetic, pushing gen.
tleman, who would give his undivided
time and best talents to the work in
hand if he is chosen to represent the
county in the next legislature.
A. NJ. HANNAY,
After eight or ten years of faithful serv
ice as member of the board of county
commissioners, voluntarily steps down
and out. He feels that in this capacity
he has served as long as he cares to,
and in his retirement he carries with
him the best wishes Of the people of the
county and the thanks of the tax payers
for his watchful care of their interests.
AS reward for services faithfully per
formed in this capacity, Mr.. Hannay's
friends will present him to the conven
ton as fitting candidate for legislative
honors, and that he will, if chosen,
make splendid representative, is con-
coded by all The gentleman is espe-
cially equipped to make himself felt,
and although new member, he would
at once take rank with many of the
older ones
EUGENE THOMPSON,
Of Garden City, has been in the field as
candidate for several months, and his
candidacy is pretty we'll "noised
about" Like all the other fellows
running, Gene is first class gentle
man. He has resided in Garden City
so long that the memory of man run
meth not to the contrary" and every
body is his friend who knows him.
Gene will no doubt put up strong
fight-just as strong as he can, for he is
built that way. He is an active, pro-
gressive citizen and would be hard
worker for his constituents if named to
the next house.
U. G. ARGETSINGER
Has only recently SHE'D his castor into
the political arena, but his friends
claim that he is making Roadway fast.
Mr.. A. is leading legal light of Ma
pleton, and his friends in that part of
the county are going to put up stiff
fight for him. Besides being a brainy
young man his supporters claim recog-
milton for him on the grounds of geo.
graphical location, which may cut some
figure in the result, although any of
the gentlemen mentioned for the legis
lature are large enough to cover the in.
terests of the entire county.
