his respects to President DiaZ. and speak

He is a strong man and surrounded
himself with men of exceptional ability.
The effect Of his administration is no.

ity to keep things running on an orderly
basis is reflected on all sides and he has
given an impetus to the material devel-
opment OF the country. He spoke in
very complimentary terms of the United

deavoring to keep In sight of It,. Lead

met attribute the stability of the coun-

and the hope'is expressed that when he
does pass away that there will arise a
man of equa!tcaliber to take his place.
my trip was a revelation. Mexico Is
q country of wonderful possibilities. A
sample of the progressive ideas to be

sentative, if agreeable to the Republi-
cans of the county is
Ezra Gates
Mr.. Gates is an old resident of Gar
den City, having come there more
than forty years ago when small
boy and has since resided there, and
for more than quarter of a century
has been engaged in business there.
He is well known all over the county
and is one of the old war horses of the
party. Mr. Gates has never been an
office seeker, always contenting him
self with doing valiant work for his
party, but has now yielded to the de-
sires of his friends that he become a
candidate at this time for representa-
tive. He has been a successful bust
ness man and always gives close APP
plication to all matters which come
before him using the best Judgment
therein, and his friends are confident
that he would make first class epre-
sentative, and hold that if good quail
feat ions combined with long and faith
full service to party are duly recogniz-
ed, he will be chosen as one of the
county's representatives.

HEARING SEPT. 4.
Martin Murray is Arraigned Before
Judge Shissier.

Martin Murray was arraigned be-
fore Judge Shissler today on the
charge Of rape, and his hearing was
set for Sept. 4th. He desired to have
W. E. Young as his attorney, but Mr..
Young declined to take the case.
The amount of The bail will be fixed
by Judge Cray on application to him.
1t was thought at first that Judge
Shissler has jurisdiction of the matter
and he placed the amount at 81, 900,
but raised it to So, 900 at the sugges-
tion of the county attorney that Judge
Caldwell had fixed the bail at this
amount in the other cases before the
examination and 81, 600 after the ex-
animation.
When arrested, Murray had but
$1.70. Murray told the reporter yes
terday that until arrested he did not
know that the charge against him was
rape.
Sheriff Collins states that Murray is
mistaken in believing that Alex Nc
Lauren gave him away. 1t was an
other party. The sheriff and mar
shall, will divide the reward, and the
third party will get nothing.

County Treasurer.

There is, as noted in the first part of
this article, a pretty contest on for
county treasurer. The announcement,
early in the spring, that Mr.. Ewing,
the present treasurer, would not be a
candidate for denomination, let down
the bars for all who might care to en-
ter. 1t is believed by no inconsider-
able number of well informed people
that hadMr Ewing maintained a silence
regarding his candidacy he could have
handily landed the nomination, and
with very little effort. But Jim
seemed to will it otherwise, and now
the Republicans will have to choose
between three candidates-all worthy
gentlemen. The names of these gen.
tlemen are all familiar to the voters.
Mr.. d. S. Evans for more than
twenty-five years resident of this
county, was at one time deputy post
master in Mankato, and later was
travelling salesman for the knitting
mills. He is genial and popular and
would make rst-class treasurer. He
has host of friends in the county as
well as in the city, and if hard work
for the party counts, Mr.. Evans will
,, make strong showing in the conven-
+, tion.
Mr.. Geo. A. Clark, one of the best
known citizens in Mankato and for a
great number of years connected with
banking institutions in this city is
being received with favor in many
localities. Mr. Clark is, and for sew
eral years has been, resident director
of the normal school He is a meth
odical, painstaking, and would make
a model county treasurer While Mr..
Clark has never identified himself very
much with political matters he has
been lifelong Republican and al
honored citizen. He has had wide
business experience, and no mistake
will be made if he is chosen to occupy
a place on the ticket.
Lew Davis is young man who's,
home is in Judson, although he ha
been deputy treasurer under Mr., Ewing
for the past three years He is not S,
well known by the masses as SOM
others, but those who know him bes
speak very highly of him. He is ;
quiet, unassuming gentleman who at
tends strictly to business, and his ex
fperience in the Office to which he nov
aspires to be the chief has familiar

But while Mr.. Gunders friends may
be able to control the nomination they
are not going to succeed without a
genuine struggle. Mr.. j. E. Peter
son, of this city is after the auditor
ship with all the vigor at his com
mand, and he is hustler. Mr.. Peter
son is a thorough accountant and a
young man of sterling worth. For sew
eral years he kept the books for Wi
dell & Co. in their large contract busl-
ness, and the strongest endorsement
that he could have is that Mr. Widell
is unstinted in his praise OF Mr.. Peter
sons qualifications and is himself an
enthusiastic supporter of J. E. While
not well known in some parts OF the
county as some of the other candl-
dates, Mr.. Peterson has the strong en-
dorsement of those who know him
best, and if he should be the choice OF
the convention he would certainly
roll up big majority at the polls
And withal, Messrs. Gunders and
Peterson must cross swords with w.
A. Whsle, of Good Thunder, for this
office, and they will find in him a
gentleman worthy of their steel. Mr..
Whsle has made pretty thorough
canvass of the county and expresses the
belief that he will finally land the
craft He says that of all the candi-
dates whose denominations are not
conceded, he is the only one who can
claim residence outside the city,
and he thinks that the county ought
to get together on him. Not that he
objects to the city having all it can
get, but more because, with many of
his friends, he thinks the county
should have little more and that lit
tie the authorship Mr.. Whsle is a
splendid man as everyone knows. He
is equipped both by education and
business training to fill the Office &C
ceptably, and would no doubt make a
popular official if given the chance.

he would make a creditable officer is
conceded .

The Free Press has felt it a duty
that it owes to its large constituency
to review, even if but briefly, some
thing of the kind of men who are seek
ing to fill the county offices. 1t believes
that the nomination of any one of
those mentioned will mean election.
Every man mentioned in this article
is a Republican of the Simon pure
kind. Not one of them to our know
ledge has ever bolted Republican
convention nor supported candidate
who did This is Republican year,
and a Republican convention is ex-
pected to select its nominees for county
oficers-frst for their ability and in
tegrity second, for their constancy
and fidelity to party tenets. If this
is done, clean sweep at the polls
will result.
Attend the primaries, therefore,
next Tuesday evening and have a
choice in the selection of delegates
who will represent your views, and not
the views of few professional poll
ticians. 4
