at Washington, Iowa, before entering
the law department of the State Uni
of Iowa from which he gradu-
ated in 1874 and has ever since been
engaged in the active practice of his
profession, giving his entire time to his
practice. For many years he was a
resident of Harlan, Shelby county,
Iowa, where his record as a man and a
can be Investigated by any one
wishing to looa him up. In 1890 he
moved to Wyoming on account of the
health of his family, and became a
partner with U. s. Senator Clark of
that young state. He has always had
as his clients men who sought a~careful.
conservative lawyer, who sought to
keep his clients out of litigation. His
record appears in the district and
supreme courts of both Iowa and
Wyoming and in the u. S. court. When
Gov. Shaw was elected he was looking
about tor a man to take charge of the
Important law business of the firm of
Shaw & Kuehnle, and selected Mr..
Beard. He has been a resident of Den
ison since January 1, 1898. and if any
one has doubts al to his qualifications
for the Office for which he has been
nominated, let them inquire of the at
torneys of Denison of either party or
the judges before whom he has prac-
ticed.
How does the idea strkeyou to have a
county attorney of such capacity and
experience that when an important case
arises it will not be the first duty of the
board hire a la,oyer.
Mr.. E. s. Pllmpton is the candidate
for superintendent of Schools, and few
men in the county are better equipped
than he to fill the position. 1t Mr..
Plimpton, whom we all know as a man
of sterling integrity and spotless char
acter, has yer had a fad: it has been
that of education. For more than if-
teen years he has been a member of the
Denison school board. Much of tile
success OF III local schools is due to
his efforts. He has been treasurer of
Denison for many years and his ac-
counts have always been a model of ac-
curacy and never has the town lost a
penny of the monies entrusted to his
care. There is hardly a man in the
county who has a deeper affection for
the children. His heart and hand have
ever been open to them. He is the
friend Of every child who knows him
because he takes an interest in them.
He has been a friend of higher educa.
ton. He has sent his children not only
through the schools Of Denison but has
given them a college education. The
only surprise to those who know him is
that he should accept the nomination:
he did it because he loves the work, be
cause he feels that if elected he could
be of benefit to the children whom he
loves so well. He b4s filled every ca
pacity as a pupil, a teacher, and a di-
rector. Do not want such a man to
oversee our schools? Do you think it
would be a good thing to have an edu-
Gated man to superintend the education
Of others?
1t is the same way with Surveyor as
it is with the rest of the ticket. With
Uncle Morris McHenry on the ticket
there is no question as to which man
should be employed by the county.
Whom do you employ for your private
surveying? Answer that question and
you have named the man for whom YOU
should vote to have charge af the coun-
ty business. Uncle Morris is too well
known to need further introduction at
our hands. All who know him like him
and honor him and trust him.
For Coroner, DR.. w. b. Evans, anoth-
or pioneer, is presented. For years it
was considered best to select a physi-
clan for coroner. For a time the Office
became so unimportant that this Gus.
tom was departed from and MIR. j. al.
Clough was selected. He filled the Of
fee to the satisfaction of all. Upon his
departure from the county Mr.. M. N.
Smith was appointed. AS the county
has grown in population, as the num-
Der of railroads have increased the Of
flee is becoming of more Importance.
and the people should see to it that a
physician, a man who knows something
about the matters pertaining to life and
and death, is elected. DR.. Evans was
nominated on account of his being a
physician and because his residence at
the junction point of all the railroads
makes him easily accessible to every
part OF the county, The office of coro-
ner is eff very little political Importance
and were the circumstances different
but little stress would be laid upon this
Office. 1t makes little difference to the
people whether the coroner is a repub.
lican, democrat ,populist or prohibition
list. but the people are interested in
