JUDGE OF PROBATE.

5, Judge VIM. F. Hughes, who is now
serving his first term as judge of
probate, has been -renominated by the
Republican party. sIt.-has become an
law in this county that
where an official gives good and salts
factory service during his first term
anoJher is accorded him by the voters as
a sort of endorsement and. also that
the efficiency of the Office may not be
impaired by constant rotation of new
and unframed men. Thu. office of judge
of probate is one of-those- where it is
we'll to keep good man--for several
terms, and this has beensthe practice
in the past. The settlement of estates
can proceed no faster than--the law pro-
vides, and large number are con-
stantly in process of settlement. Many
difficult and delicate questions of law

CLERK OF COURT

For clerk of the district court the
Republicans again present the name
OF Stephen Thorne, and SO capable and
gentlemanly an official has he made
that he will hold the Office for another
term by general consent of all parties.
The Democrats refrain ed from placing
in nomination anyone for this office.
Mr.. Thorne's records are models of
neatness, and he has them SO accur-
ately indexed that it is no trouble
whatever to consult them, as many are
daily obliged to do

richly earned his reward of a second
term. He holds in his possession but
two warrants that he has been unable
to serve, which is good record for
two years. By the exercise of economy
and good judgment, he has saved
thousands of dollars to the tax payers
of the county. In the service of civil
papers he has performed his duty
fully and satisfactorily in all cases.
The Jail is kept scrupulously neat and
clean and the prisoners are well fed
and looked after as well as guarded
carefully.
Mr.. Gerlich was born in Milwaukee,
but has resided in Minnesota since he
was eighteen years of age. In all this
time no reflection has ever been cast
upon his character, nor has he made
an enemy. At various times he has
been engaged in business of different
kinds, but always retained the con-
fdence and respect of his patrons and
the community in general. He bought
wheat in Mankato and Mapleton, ran
a saw mill in Mcpherson, and had q
hardware store at st. Clair He was
postmaster at st. Clair under Presi-
dents Harrison and Mckinley until
elected sheriff two years ago. His ex-
cellent record under President Harri
son merited his appointment by
President Mckinley, the same as his
excellent record as sheriff merits an
other term at the hands of the people.
Mr.. %gGerlich' s.. experience and wide
acquaintance will be of benefit to the
county--during the next two years, and
in marking their ballots onelection day
the voters should seq to it that they
place cross after his name

always voted right during the two ses-
sions of the legislature which he at
tended as member, and his sound
Judgment will not desert him in the
future.
Like Mr.. Nyquist, Geo. w. Norman
is farmer and his interests are allied
to those of the farming community.
He has wrested a comfortable living
from the soil through the sweat of
his brow and honest toll. He is true
blue and will be credit to the dele
cation.
Geo. R. Wilder is the third nomi-
nee for represen tative. While not as
well known in Mankato as the other
two, he has wide acquaintance
through the county, and is especially
popular where best known. Mr..
Wilder is business man and is pos
sessed of that practical common sense
which will make him a safe man to
have in the legislature

COUNTY COMMISSIONER.

The terms of Chas Graf, VIM. Bor-
ebert and Robt. S. Hughes as mem
bers of the board of county commits
sioners expire Jan. list Mr.. Graf, in
the first district, is not a candidate
for reelection. The Republicans,
however, have named a man to fill
his place of whom they are proud.
E. J. Russell, the gentleman re-
ferred to, was born in Monroe county,
N ew York, in 1S4O At the breaking
out of the civil war he enlisted in the
Thirteenth New York infantry, and
was engaged in all of the great battles
of the army of the Potomac in 1861
and 1862, including Manassas, the
siege of Yorktown, Fair Oaks,
Hanover Court House, seven days
before Richmond, Malvern Hills, Sec
ond Manassas and Antietam. He was
mustered out with his regiment in
May, 1868, and Immediately enlisted
again, this time in the Gath New York
battery of light artillery. He served
until the close of the war, and was
engaged in the first great battle of the
war and was present at the surrender
of Gen. Lee at Appomattox Court
House April 9th, 1865.
Mr.. Russell has been resident of
Blue Earth county for thirty years.
He held the Office of town clerk for
four years in Mecosta county, Mich,
before coming to Minnesota, and has
been assessor of the town of LIE Ray
the past ten years. He is a safe,
conservative man, and would fulfill
his duties on the county board with
the same care and fidelity that he
would look after his own affairs.
Of Mr. Hughes, in the third district,
and Mr.. Borchert, in the fifth, little
need be said, as their record on the
county board speaks for itself and
they have been before the people be-
fore. They have been faithful to their
trust and painstaking in their care
for the county's interests. They have
given unselfshly of their time for the
public welfare. Having been tested
and found not wanting, the people of
the county will return them to their
post of duty with appreciation, signi--
fed by increased majorities.

FARMERS AND DAIRYMEN, READ
CAREFULLY,

The following letter, written volun-
tarily by Congressman Circuit, of Yer
mont, author of the "Grout BilP' for
the protection of butter from the I'M
fair competition of oleomargar inc color
ed to resemble butter, shows General
CIRCUITS appreciation of Congressman
McCleary's splendid work for the bill
and in behalf of the farmers and dairy
men of the United States. 1t also shows
the reputation which our congressman
has achieved among his colleagues for
economy in the expenditure of the
peoples money, IN recognition of
this prudence, he has been given by
the speaker high standing in the gr eat
committee of appropriations. Let us,
therefore, return Mr.. McCleary by an
increased majority;
st. Johnsbury E., VT, Sept. "a, 1900.
Hon. James T., McCleary,
Mankato, MINI.
My Dear Mack: l have been think
ing for some time would write you
and find out how you are getting along
with your campaign. Prosperously, I
hope, for you know am not to be in
the next house and you will very like
ly have charge of the district appropri-
ations bill with a chance to practi ce
that economy which in public expendi-
lures is public virtue, and which you
have satisfied me you possess in no
doubtful measure,
l expect to be there, however, next
session to see the oleomargarine bill
through, in which I am sure shall
have your cordial help after your
valuable assistance during the last ses-
sion. Your friendliness to this bill
ought to give you the vote of every
dairyman in your district, Democrats
and all.
Hoping to hear from you soon and
to learn in due time of your return
by an increased majority, am,
Very truly yours,
WILLIAM W. CIRCUIT.

AUDITOR.

Edgar sssWeaver, the nominee for
county auditor, was porn in Berlin,
Wis. ',and spent his boyhood at-..that
place. He---came to Mankato--abo
twenty years :. ago, acting as general
agent for the j.. I. Case..--Threshing
Machine Co., "a position which he held
until about a year ago. He served
two terms as mayor of Mankato and
was given the un usual nonor of three
terms as president of the state fair
association. He is member of the
state capitol commission. and his
name has been mentioned in the past
in connection with the offices of gov
ernor and congressman. He has a
wide acquaintance, has the good will
and respect of all, and his personal
popularity as well as acknowledged
competency make his election by a
large majority foregone conclusion.
Mr.. Weaver is an excellent penman,
a trained accountant, and has the ex-
ecutive ability to fill the Office of audi
tor satisfactorily. 1T is the most i'm
portant Office in the county and its
duties should be administered fearless
ly and without favor. The auditor
must interpret the laws, and should
be check upon the county board and
stand between the people and ex-
travagancy of various kinds. The
county has been fortunate in the past
in the kind of men who have filed
the Office, and it will not lower the
high standard by placing Mr.. Weaver
in the position. He will give his per-
sonal attention to the office, if elected.

member of the normal faculty after
graduation, that he was elected super
intendent of the schools in which he
was educated, and that he has held the
Office but two years and has just &C
quired full and complete knowledge
of the needs of the schools, it would
seem decidedly unwise to fail in re-
electing him for second term. His
success in the past is guarantee for
the future, and the patrons of the
schools will see that no change is made
at this time.
