The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1900-10-30


to show hostility to the candidate
from Crawford county. We can
conceive of no reason why our dem
ocratic friends friends cannot unite
with us in showing our esteem for
Judge Conner and our apprecia-
ton of the honor that has come to
our county. Judge Conner never
failed Denison and Crawford coun-
ty and they should not fail him.
The republicans have named as
their candidate for Auditor one of
the peerless men of
aII THT the county, Mr.. n.
~ = oN L. Hunt. He is a
man who has grown up among US,
his life is as an open book, he has
been honest and fair in his deal
lngs, no man more so, he has al
ready had experience in the county
Office for which he has been nomi-
mated. He was a faithful and eff
fcient public servant and certainly
if any man ever did, he deserves
the reward of a second term. He
would have had it before this had
it not been for the large democrat
ic majority then in the county and
no one at the time of his defeat
ever for moment questioned eth
er his honesty or his capacity. 1t
is a pleasure for US to give Mr..
Hunt support as we know that he
is faithful in all things and that he
is in every way a worthy man.
For the office of county clerk
the republicans present one of the
brightest and best
ri TGR young German A
Nn mericans in the
county, Mr.. A F. Kadoch. Every
one here and in Charter Oak
knows art" He is a young man
who has been obliged to make his
own way and who has done it with
success attained by few. He
has held many positions of trust and
no man has ever found his conf
dence misplaced. In voting for
Mr.. kadoch every man knows he
is casting his vote for a man who
would enter upon the duties of his
office with better equipment and
more experience than any other
man, who has ever held the office
of clerk in this county. His ex-
perience in clerical matters is be-
yond compare with those of his
opponent. AS mere question of
business ask yourself which you
would employ for similar work
yourself. If you vote according as
that decision would be, and we do
not see why that would not be
fair test, there can be no question
as to Mr.. Kadoch's election.
Our democratic friends bring
forward man who has already
held the office two
REr COR terms, fully his
~ share, and a man
who in that time has seen to it
that every cent spent tn that office
went to fill his own pocket book.
Mr.. Criswell seemed to regard the
office as his own personal property.
Although there are many young.
democrats in the county who are
perfectly willing and capable of
filling the office of deputy, men
who have spent time and money
for the good of their party, Mr..
Crlswell has passed them all up
and has had Mrs. Criswell as his
deputy almost during the entire
time that he has been in office.
We must not be understood as in
any way rejecting upon Mrs. Girls
we'll. She is most ladylike lady,
she has done her work we'll, she is
kindly and friendly to all, we do
not in the least reflect on her, but
we do reflect upon the principle
which allows man to regard an
office as his personal property and
to retain all the salaries connected
Herewith for himself. We know
that other officers have done the
same and in every case it is to be
condemned. There are many
young men who could set up fami-
lies OF their own on the salary paid
the deputy recorder and it is in the
interests of the community that the
emoluments of public office should
not be retained in one family but
be distributed as much as possible.
In Mr.. H. K. Harthun the repub-
llcans present young man of
splendid qualifications and another
representative of the young Ger
