AS the district has been represent
ed by Pierce county man for the
last term the nominee for the next
term was conceded to st. Croix coun-
ty by the courtesy of precedent. AS
the delegates from st. Croix county
had been instructed by the convention
that elected them to vote for Mosher
and the delegates from Pierce, acting
upon the general understanding that
st. Croix should present the candi-
date-who was eminently satisfactory
to them the nomination of Mr..
Mosher was unanimous.
The Republicans OF St. Croix coun-
ty made wise choice in selecting Mr..
Mosher as their candidate for state
senator and the senatorial convention
acted in harmony with their best
judgment in ratifylng that selection,
for no better man could have been
found in the district fer the place.
Mr.. Mosher's educatio ability, bust
ness experience, and intimate ac-
quaintance with state institutions
will make his election to the senate
measure of assured advantage to the
district and to the state. His ex
perience in the assembly, where he is
recognized as one of the soundest and
most practical members of the legis-
lature will add to his usefulness as
member Of the upper chamb Der. Mr..
Mosher receives fiattering but judi
cious endorsement from st. Croix
county papers.
L. A. Baker of New Richmond re-
ports to the Republican Voice the
result Of some interviews with Mr.. |
Mosher's associates in the last session |
of the legislature, and with some |
other leading Republicans Of the |
state:
Mr.. Stickney, secretary of the Re- |
publican State Central Committee |
said of him: THAT man Mosher, as |
sem blyman from st. Croix county, |
was one of the ablest men in the legis- |
lature" The chairman of the Re-
publican City Committee Of Milwau- |
kee, said: "St. CroiX county is to be |
congratulated on possessing such a |
worthy and capable representative. |
He should be returned by all means"
Mr.. Keene, the Assem- bIyman from |
said: "Mosher was one of |
the most clean.cut men in the Assem- |
bly, and saved the taxpayers OF the |
state thousands Of dollars by his work |
on the Joint Committee on Claims |
anu ny thoroughly INVESTIGATING dill
claims that came before his commit |
tee as well as boldly opposing any
thing savoring of fraud or that was |
not necessary. The state Of Wiscon-
sin needs just such men and sincere
ly hope he will be returned" Mr.. |
Keene is said TO be the brightest man |
on the floor of the assembly. The |
verdict of the best men in both coun- |
ty and state is that: "Mosher, by his |
individuality and courageous charac-
ter has made st. Croix county promi- |
nent in the state He scorns to bend
to mean devices for sordid end. He
possesses worth, courage, honor and
firmness-qualities that make an hon
est man and an able statesman. He
is strong worker, great thinker and
has mettle in him. His mind is
store-house of useful facts and his
strong will is the law Of his life. His
whole character is founded on the
living rock of principle. He has a
head to contrive and hand to exc
cute. Such man as Mosher does
honor to the people he represents and
the people will honor themselves by
returning him to the legislature.
