Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1901-03-26
JOHN r. PATZER.

The candidate placed in nomination
for city clerk is a young man known TO
nearly all our citizens. He is son OF
the late John PatZer, who, by the way,
was the first city clerk of Wausau. The
subject of this sketch was born in this
city % years ago. He attended the
public schools of the city and graduated
with honors in the class of '9S. Later
he took a business and shorthand course
at the Wausau University. John has a
faculty of getting acquainted and when
once you meet him it is to like him.
From early boyhood up to manhood the
number of these friends has increased
until now, should he receive no other
votes but these on Tuesday next, he will
be elected by such a large majority that
he will have votes to throw away. John
is a young man, honest as the day is
long. He is fully capable of filling the
office, and should he be elected, which
we firmly believe he will, he will make
a painstaking, obliging officer, one who
merits your confidence and whom you
will never regret having placed IN the
position; Though young in years he is
endowed with Judgment superior to
many an older head, and he is an old
hand at handling pen and attending to
office work Remember good-natured
''Honus'' Patzer on Tuesday next and
place cross on your ballot that will
count for him.
HERMAN LEMKE.
For city treasurer the democratic
party has renominated the present in
cumbent, Herman Lemke. He has
lived here so long. and is so favorably
known, that a brief mention of him will
c1ff Mr. / ay,1lyn N fhJC nItU
in 1857 and has lived here continuously
since. In 1879 he entered the employ
of John Ringle in the grocery store of
the latter on jackson street. He con-
tinued in Mr.. Rin2le's employ until
1888, when he bought out that gentle
man and has since conducted the store.
In the early sos Mr.. Lemke represented
the Second ward in the council as alder
man, and in '97 and '98 he was elected
supervisor of the same ward. In 1899
he was elected city treasurer and filled
the office sc fully to the satisfaction of
the people, that he was renOminated
last year on the citizens ticket, and his
name was also placed on the republi-
can ticket While in Office Mr.. Lemke
has been a courteous, obliging, official.
He is firm believer in the truth that
public officer is servant of the people,
and he has always acted as such. His
word is as good as his bond, and you
will make no mistake in trusting the
handling of the city's finances to his
care. You have his record as an officer
before you and it is Spotless, therefore
in exercising your franchise on next
Tuesday cast your ballot for Herman
q. Lemke.
OTHER NOMINEES.
The balance of the ticket is made up
Of capable men with clean records.
For Justices of the peace we have
Charles M. Fleming and Jas. Haskins.
Mir. Fleming has long been a resident
of Wausau. He is engaged in the hotel
business and has had a wide range in
business dealings and is fully capable
of performing the duties that will be
imposed upon him should he be elected.
As for Mr.. Haskin everyone knows
Yankee Jim His sense of Judgment
has never been questioned and he would
make a patient, prudent and pains
taking justice.
For assessors there are JOS Heine-
mann, Robt. Kumerow and William A.
Berger. The former is one of our oldest
residents, veteran of the civil war and
a man of undOubted integrity, and
w lIu SuCu lllGH DIS l1cIH0-
mann, Kumerow and Berger elected to
the respective offices for which they are
nominated, the citizens of Wausau will
be assured that just and reasonable
equalization of assessment of taxes will
be made.
Throughout the wards care was taken
to select only men who enjoy the conf
dence of their fellow men, and in this
respect the party has been eminently
successful. Each and every candidate
for supervision, alderman and constable
are men whom, if the city government
is entrusted to their hands, will give the
same their time and care, and will give
the city one of those good old demo
cratic administrations that we were
wont to have. We trust that they will
exercise wise and just legislation, that
will benefit the city financially morally
and otherwise. Do not vote for the
head of the ticket alone, but support
the balance of the ticket and thus elect
men who will be in accord with the
mayor and aid him in conducting meas
ures to the benefit of WauSau.
