William F. Copeland.
For Coroner.

The candidate for coroner, Viii
liam F. Copeland, is station agent
and postmaster at jefferson Junction,
the most central place in the county
If location can be considered an ar
gument, and it would seem it ought
to be in regard to this Office, Mr.
Copeland certainly has the advantage
over the opposition. He is situated
at a railroad junction, where fatal
accidents are most likely to occur,
and where he would be available at a
moments notice. The strength of
his candidacy not only lies in this i'm
portant essential, but also in his uni
form popularity and in his true
worth as a gentleman and citizen
He is thoroughly good fellow and
ought to command everybody's vote,
as he does the confidence and good
will of all.

Martin j. Gosa,
For Sheriff.

One of the most popular cah hdidates
on the Republican county ticket is
Martin j. Gosa. OF Palmyra, who, by
his quiet. unassuming manner and air
of business stability, has been making
friends wherever he goes and perform
ing valiant service for his party in a
systematic canvass of the voting pre-
cincts. For a number of years Mr.
GOsa has been located at Palmyra and
engaged in the business of buying
and selling stock. This employment
has brought him in close contact with
the farmers Of the southern portion of
Jefferson county and their estimate of
him is perhaps the best attest of his
true standing. In his entire business
experience the way, quite an ex-
tended plant of unfair deal
ing has yet to be made against him.
This is a phenomenal record consider
ing the peculiar environments of his
occupation. and is. we think, some
thing that should commend him highly
AS a business man, neighbor. gentle
man and friend he stands above re-
proach-a person in whom every con-
fidence is reposed and who merits all
the encOmiumS which those who know
him best are ever ready to pay him.
Mr.. Gosa is a. native of the town of
Eagle, Waukesha county, and was
born February II, 1868, of German
born parents. Martin was reared on
his fathers farm, attended the public
schools, and later removed to Pal
myra, where he engaged in the meat
market business with his brother,
John Gosa. After a number of years

Bryan-The False Prophet.

If we have gold standard prices
are as certain to fall as the stone
which is thrown into the air.-From
an address delivered to farmers i'm
Newton, Iowa, August 9, 1896.
Let us see about that. The gold
standard was established by the vote
of the people in November, 1896
The aggregate value of the corn,
wheat and oats crops of the
United States IN 1896 was $934, ,O95,-
900. In 1899 it was $1,146,9 923, ,344-
SO instead of falling like a stone
under the blighting effects of the gold
standard prices rose like a lark to the
inspiring tune of 1912, ,S28, 344!
La this connection the following
table of three lines shows what sort
of false prophet William Jennings
Bryan was:

Wheat, No. spring, per
Corn, No 2, per bushel .2714 .371x
Oats, No. 2, per bushel......... IT'S .21az
Moreover, the prices of wheat, CORE
and oats are higher now than last
June.
But the farmers of Newton, Iowa.
and the rest of the United States know
know it is about the fall of prices un-

finishing the high school course he
entered Beloit college and was grad

graduating with the class of '96. A
year later he was hOnored with the
degree of A. M. at Beloit college, Up
on finishing his studies he at once en-
gagged in the practice of law here, in
which he has been signally successful.
He is close student, a conservative,
conscientious counsellor, extremely
careful and concise in the preparation
of cases, and Withal ShreWd and eau

Gus attributes, together with his ster-
ling character and the high esteem in
which he is held, combine to bring
him most desirable clientele. The
able and business-like manner in
which he handled the assigneeship of
a large estate in the early stages of
his professional career called forth an
expression of strong commendation
from no less person than the late

Mrs. Fred Bartlett were natives of
Prussia, and after living in Washing
ton county for while settled in the
town of Watertown, later on remov-
ing to Pennington. They believed
in giving their children as good an
education as possible, and William,
after passing through the district
schools, was sent to the Watertown
city schools and subsequently, took the
Normal, which entities him to be
principal of any three-year high
school in the state. Regarding him,
President Salisbury, of that excellent
seat Of learning, has said: ''He is a
sturdy, reliable, energetic young man;
thoroughly square and sound both in
character and in scholarship"
Mr.. Bartlett has taught school the

Foster E. Parsons.
For Clerk of the Circuit Court.

For the position of clerk of the
circuit court the Republicans ,present
a veteran of the civil war in the per-
son OF Foster E. Parsons, of Lake Mills.
When the REBELLION broke out Mr..
Parsons was just entering upon the
practice of law in Illinois, having been
admitted to the bar of that state on
certificate of the judges of the supreme
court. He enlisted for service in the
regular army and was advanced from
private through most of the non-cOm-
mlssloned grades to sergeant-major,
finally being commissioned a first
lieutenant. When the war was over
he re-enlisted and served five years on
the Western frontier, the last two
years acting as quartermaster- general
and commissary-gen of the Upper
District of Dakota. Resigning his
position in 1870, he engaged in other
pursuits. principally newspaper work,
and has for number of years been
associate editor of The Lake Mills
Leader.
Colonel Parsons is one of the old
warhorses Of the Republican party,
having fought it's battles since the
time of Fremont He is not only
forceflll writer, but a convincing and
brilliant speaker, and during each
campaign his services are in demand

of Wisconsin just previous to his COM
ing to GAINESVILLE. He is at present
a member of the firm of Whitehead &
Matheson, which enjoys high repu-
tation and lucrative practice.
Mr. Whitehead first saw the light
of day on farm near Hillsboro. H.,
July 20, 1852, being therefore in the
prime of life. He was educated at 6.
select school. Hillsboro academy, pre-
paratory department of Wabash col
lege. Charlottesville, Ind. 1S71-2);
Williston seminary, Easthampton,
Mass. QS72-3); Yale college QS73-O.
receiving the degree of A. B.
at the last named institution. Since
residing at GAINESVILLE he has rep
resented his ward on the county
board. In 1896 he was chosen state
senator by vote Of Z, 105 against 4, 725
for w. w. Reed. Democrat.
The voters of the Twenty
district ought certainly to be congrat-
ulated on having such a candidate as
Sc lator Whitehead. He is, both from
the standpoint of intellectually and
capacity the peer of any man who
has sat in the upper branch of our
state legislature. He gives careful
study and thought to every question
of moment and when the proper time
comes is heard in forcible manner
for the right. He was an important
factor in framing the several reform
measures passed by the last legisla
ture and the force of his argument al
ways carried the greatest weight.
Both in his private and public life
Senator Whitehead is man above
reproach, capable in every respect.
faithful, conscientious, true to every
principle and duty. His reelection
by a large plurality is assured.

THE REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATES.

His early education was received in
the high school, the Spencerian Busi-
ness college of Milwaukee and the
Northwestern university. Subsequently
he entered the law school of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, but before finish
ing the course he took the state bar
examination and was admitted to
practice in the courts of Wisconsin,
He has been established as an attorney
in this city for five years and has ac-
quired a profitable practice.
Although young man, Mr.. Buch-
heit has shown cOmmendable dispo-
sition to advance himself in the walks
of life, and by dint of perseverance
and energy to merit the confidence and
appreciation of his fellows. He is pop
ular with all classes, and that he has
an extensive following is proven by
the splendid run he made as the Re-
publican candidate for mayor in the
spring of 1899. Last spring he was
elected to the important office of city
attorney. Mr.. Buchheit is well equip
ped to perform the responsible duties
of legislator, and in him the district
would have an able and aggressive
representative who would do his ut
most to advance the interests of his
constituents.
Mr.. Buchheit was married last
month to Miss Wray Schwieger, eld-
est daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David
Schwieger, of this city.

directed his attentions to dairying,
stock-raising, and the growing of
small fruits and farm seeds. He has
made splendid success of his under
taking. which well testifies to his
perseverance and energy-two traits
of his character which have been
strongly manifested since his unani-
nous nomination by the Republican
county convention. Mr. HELEN is an
enthusiast in whatever he undertakes
and if hard work merits just reward
he will surely be counted in as our
next county clerk. That he would
prove capable, conscientious, pains
taking and obliging official, we feel
safe in assuring our readers.
Mr.. HELEN is not an office-seeker in
the accepted sense of the term, but
has been entrusted by his neighbors
with the position of district school
clerk for the past two years and in
1898 served as justice of the peace.
His parents are Mr.. and Mrs. III. V.
d. HELEN, who settled in Jefferson
county in 1915. The father came
from Hano1 er, Germany, the mother
from New York state.

steadily in the respect and confidence
of the people until he now occupies
the proud distinction of being counted

and thorough-going business men
a person whose word is as good as his
bond and whose rugged honesty is

William G. Bartlett,
For Superintendent of Schools.

1t is generally conceded, even by
the intense party voter, that If 5here
is an Office in the county which ought
to be divorced from politics, that one
is superintendent Of schools. Qualifi-
cation and character are above party
standing when it comes to choosing
an incumbent of tn important posi-
ton, which has SO much to do with
the rearing OF the youth of the
county. Considered from the view
point of these requisites, the Republi-
cans have candidate who will bear
the closest scrutiny in the person of
William G.. Bartlett. OF Pennington.
Both by education and experience, as
we'll as by spotless character, Mr..
Bartlett is qualified to render a most
satisfactory administration of the
affairs of superintendent of schools,
and by favoring him with their suf-
frages the people of Jefferson county
will make no mistake.
