The NEWS ITEM speaks of its
candidates in this issue. You need
not take these facts for granted, but
inquire of them as we have. You
will then cooperate our statements.
The Democrats cOnceed every
thing to candidate Otto Behr in his
home district. What better thing
could be said of a candidate: 1t
shows that those who know him best
knows well of him and have implic-
| it confidence in him. Otto isa man,
among all classes of men.
-Meylert Brunner, Il prominent
attorney of st. Paul, MINI. formerly
Of Muncy, and well known to many
citizens of this county, is visiting
Laporte friends this week. He is ac-
companied by his son Master Mayall
and still enjoys life in his old fash
ioned ways of younger days.
Chairman Scouten continues his
campaign of mud and dirt singing.
Last week his attack was upon j. 5.
Taylor, this week he attacks the pri-
vate character of Adam Baumunk.
| We have no reason to believe that
the honest and reputable Democrats
of this county are in sympathy with
this kind of political warfare. Mr..
Baumunk is we'll known as an hon
est, trustworthy, hard working far
mer. If such Il man cannot escape
slander and detractiOn, who is safe ?
The answer Chairman Scouten will
get to these attacks will he by the
people at the polls.
The Prohibitionists of Sullivan
Co. made the following nominations
at their convention at EaglesMere
Sept. l4th. For County Treasurer,
David Mulinaux, Millview; County
Commissioners, j. II. Hoffman,
IIillsgrove, and IL. c. Boatman,
Sonestown; County Auditors, VIM.
l.. Johnson, Lopez, and Arthur
Granger, Millview.
1t was the eminently qualified
and honest principles found in otto
Behr that placed him before the
people as a candidate for Treasurer,
and not any political aspirations of
his own. He is desrevedly popular
where ever known because his good
German qualities ever predominates.
Make him County Treasurer and you
will make no mistake.
Adam Baumunk, candidate for
county commissioner, is one of Sull-
ivan county's greatest respected citi-
zens. He comes from honest, indus
trious German stock, and is one of
the chief factors in developing the
county's farming industry. Farm
ing has been his study and occupa-
ton for life and no one better knows
the farmers needs and how they
should be represented than he. Mr..
Baumunk is the proper man for this
important office. Properly qualified
men ana not party issues should be
the ruling features at the polls.
j. S. Taylor, candidate for county
commissioner, is Il business man
with a business turn of mind and
cultivated business habits. There is
no county Office that requires thOro-
ughly trained business man more
than the office of commissioner. To
properly transact county affairs is Il
huge business undertaking and re-
quires capable financier to success
fully cope with the vast affairs and
discharge business obligations in Il
competent, economial and honest
manner. There is no better business
man in the county than j. S.Taylor,
