REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.
WHO SHOULD RECEIVE THE MA
ToRITY OF VOTES IN Villas Co.

Joseph Elliott who was chosen for
sheriff of Villas County, is as wildly
known as any man in the county,
having been chairman of the county
board, county clerk and is at present
holding the Office of deputy game
Warden. Joe is well qualified for this
office as he is thoroughly conversant
with county affairs. We have no
hesitancy in saying that if Joe is
elected to the highest Office the coun-
ty can bestow, that he will make a
good officer and will discharge his du-
ties without fear or favor to any one.
For the office of county clerk, the
honor fell to Finn Lawler, who has
been resident of this village since it
was organized and who has always
been hard worker and never ashamed
to turn his hand at anything where
an honest dollar could be earned. He
is at present deputy clerk of the cir
cult court and frst-class land-looker
and timber estimator. If fortune
should favor Finn at this election,
which we are quite sure it will, the
county of Villas will have the best
county clerk it ever had, for he is
painstaking and correct in anything
he undertakes.
Geo. O'Connor received the nomi-
nation for Dist. Attorney. Geo. isa
graduate from the law school at Madi--
-oil, Is q hard student, keeps thor
oughly posted on all matters pertain
ing to law. Republicans won't get.a
better chance to elect a thoroughly
posted lawyer to Office, than now.
Violaters of the law will find in him
prosecutor that is to be feared if they
are prosecuted by him as they surely
will as he will be elected by hand
some majority.
J. w. Sutton was the nominee of
the convention for treasurer, and who
will without doubt be guardian of the
county funds for the next two years.
Mr.. Sutton is one of Minocqua's most
influential business men and will
make good treasurer. Mr.. Sutton
was the nominee for sheriff two years
ago, but was defeated and we want to
see to it that he is elected this fall
John Hanson was the lucky man
who received the nomination for clerk
Of the court and who is well known
all over the county, he being quite an
extensive logger. If the office is en-
trusted to John it will be placed in ca
pable hands indeed, as there is no
doubt as to his qualifications.
The office of County superintendent
of school we might say is one of the
most important offices in the county,
If it is not the best paying. MI.
Alex. Higgins received the nominal
ton for this Office and is the present
incumbant, having held the same
ever since the. county was organized.
AS to his capabilities, that has been
demonstrated long ago and as the
county developes and greater knowl-
edge permates the land, the seeker for
advancement must keep up with the
procession with an up-to-dateness
that leaves no doubt in the minds of
the people. We believe that such a
person is found in the nominee for
county superintendent of schools,
Alexander Higgins, who will receive
the greatest share of the votes of vi
las county, of both Republicans and
Democrats as this is an office that
politics ought not to cut any figure.
w, B. Raymond, of Minocqua re-
ceived the nomination for register of
deeds, a worthy man, just the kind
that will appreciate the confidence
placed in him and will not disappoint
his many friends. Mr.. Raymond is a
good business man and good pen
man. He is worthy the considera-
ton of the people. Place him in
charge of the county records and he
will guard them we'll.
