Mahaska county, who desired the
republican nomination. We
omitted the name of strong and
much deserving man, in the per-
son of C. E. Mason, who is a
locomotive engineer on the Iowa
Central R'y. Mr.. Mason was
born on a farm in 1866, where he
worked and attended common
school until 19 years old. He
then entered the employment of
the Iowa Central Ry. and has
been in their employment every
since, which is 10 years, constant
~ receiving promotion by his
merits. He is we'll Informed on
all current topics and stands high
among his associates. He was
one of the four delegates to rep
resent Iowa in the Trans-Mississ-
ippi Commercial Congress at
Texas, last year. He
is an active republican and always
ready to defend its principals.
If elected sheriff of Mahaska
county he will make an excellent
