Democratic Effort to Re.elect shriev.
atty Candidate Again This
Year.
Election day is close at hand, and the
closing days of the campaign demon
strate that the situation in Marshall
county is not particularly unlike that in
the state, the only question being as to
the size of the republican majority.
This latter depends altogether on the
extent to which the republican voters
turn out on next Tuesday. While this
is considered an "off year." the issues
are largely national and all the demo-
Gratis hope to accomplish is to reduce
the republican majority in Iowa and
tnen point to the vote as an argument
that the people do not approve of the
policy of President Mckinley. 1T is
therefore important that every repub-
mean voter in Marshall county cast his
ballot on next Tuesday and help prove
that Iowa is loyal and patriotic.
SENATOR AND Representative
"A lengthy Introduction OF those on the
republican ticket is not necessary. They
are all men whom the people know and
have reason to trust Hon. J. B. Classen
for senator and Mr.. Thomas Kimball
for representative are men of such
breadth OF character that they will
WELD an influence In the halls of the
state legislature. The success of both
in life has been due to their own fore
sight and capabilities in business, and
they are just such men as are needed to
defend or oppose measures of legisla-
ton. Mr.. Classen has had a wide and
valued experience in the Legislature,
and Mr. Kimball, while never before
seeking political favors. has kept in
close touch with politics and the peo-
pie.
TREASURER.
Mr.. G. n. Smith is the republican
nominee for county treasurer a position
requiring special qualifications These
qualifications Mr. Smith possesses in
the highest degree, and as he has served
four years as deputy he has the BUSH
ness we'll in hand. and on Jan. next he
Will be in a position to continue the
conduct of the Office without the con-
fusion attendant on the inauguration of
one unfamiliar with the duties devolv-
ing upon him.
SUPERINTENDENT.
For superintendent of the county
schools Mr.. j. N1orrissey is the republic
can nominee. He is now serving his
| first term, and has filled the office with
such satisfaction that he was not OPP
posed when he sought the nomination
for a second term. Mr.. Morrissey has,
since the beginning Of his first term
| evolved system in his official duties
4 that enables him to, devote more time
/ than was customary to personal effort
in supervising and improving the coun-
4 try schools, and they were never in con-
dition to do as good work as they are
at the present time.
THE sSHRIEvALTY.
The republican opposition. following
\ up its success of two years ago in elect
Ling democratic sheriff, has been CEN
tering it's efforts in this campaign to
repeat it's former victory. To the
4 credit of the democrats, however, 1t car
be said that they have this year avoid
1 ed the personalities and mud-slingine
campaign inaugurated two years ago
and they have based their claims fol
| Sheriff McPherson's reelection on the
plea that zone good term deserves an
other That Mr.. Mcpherson has made
/ an excellent official no one will ques
ton, not even the republicans. That he
appreciated the fact that his election
i was due two years ago to republican
4 votes by retaining two republican depu
ties is also true. All this can be con
} coded in fairness to Mr.. Mcpherson, bu
without detracting from the merits ant
the claims to republican support of thu
republican nominee, Mr.. T. j. Shoe
maker. Even the opposition press
(which is not as usual thing fair. ha
been unable to present an argumen
against Mr.. Shoemaker. His capabili
ties have not been questioned. and as
citizen and succei sful business mai
A he stands high in the entire county
Therefore there is little disposition o.
the part of republicans to vote for tn
democratic nominee this year, and wit
a republican candidate who is popular
capable and first class man in all re
spects, it is not in the political pins TO
the democrats to repeat their success
of two years ago. MIR. Shoemaker wi
be elected by vote we'll up to that o
the balance of the ticket.
CORONER AND SURVEYOR,
DIR. f. P. Lierle and Mr.. Williar
Bremner, republican nominees for cor
oner and surveyor respectively, hav
their records as officials behind then
Coroner Lierle has made a painstakin
official, and his work in the Adam
murder case alone would entitle him
a reelection if his success with the ba
ance of the ticket We're not already as
sured. Mr. Bremner has been surveye
for many years, and probably will be
long as he desires the place.
FOR SUPERVISOR.
The republican candidate for super
visor is Mr.. T. j. Shearer, OF Washing
ton township. This is an important o.
flee, requiring conservatism, bushes
foresight and honesty of purpose. all {
which qualifications are possessed
Z Mr.. Shearer. and in him the people wi
have capable and devoted public SCI
want.
A stronger ticket from end to end
would be impossible to secure, and
ought to receive the good republica
majority Of 1900 on next Tuesday.
