didate.

/
didate.
The News has never deemed it 1
visable to enter the lists as a champi
of political parties or candidates, b
in view of the fact that one of 0
citizens who was born and has ey
since lived in Wauwatosa, has be
placed in nomination for the office
Circuit Judge of Milwaukee county,
/ win probably be forgiven for speahi
its pleasure at that nomination.
Mr.. Lyman q. Wheeler, whose hor
is on Wauwatosa avenue in this eli
was born on farm in the town
Wauwatosa, thirty-nine years az
During the years of his boyhood /
life and its tasks were not unlike thd
of other farmer boys. He worked upI
the farm, attended school, and by far|
ing and teaching obtained the mea
with which he acquired his educati|
in the schools of WauwatOsa and NJ
waukee, and in the College of Lett
and Law of the State University.
He located in the city of Milwaul
in 1890 for the practice of his prof
sion, where he has by diligence carr
his reputation as lawyer.
In the selection of Circuit Judge
fill the unexpired term of the Il
Judge Il. s. Elliott, the Democrats
this county conceded the place to
Republicans, and the Republicans CT
led convention composed of SAG de |
gates, elected upon basis of on
delegate for each one hundred Repul
lican votes cast at the last election, fC
the purpose of selecting a candidate
After a somewhat spirited session, wit
several candidates in the field, Nj
Wheeler was unanimously declared t
be the choice of the party as its car
didate.
That his selection was n wise one
evidenced by the support which Ii
candidacy has since received. No a
torney with the number of clients VIII
have come to Mr. Wheeler could expet
to avoid an occasional obstacle eItht
in disappointed opponents or for otht
reasons, though not many would fin
the disgruntled ones so few as h
That he will receive a large vote in I'll
town and city of Wauwatosa both fro
Republicans and Democrats on electic
day goes without saying, and the New
expresses the hope that all who belie'
that the people of Milwaukee count
are competent to select their candidat,
for judicial, as well as other office
will go to their respective pollir
places on election day and cast vo
on the separate judicial ballot for L.
