Gaylord Lamb is one of the pioneer
residents of Blue Earth county. For
many years he lived ct Garden City
and later came to Mankato. There is
no man in Blue Earth county better or
more favorabIy known than he. AL

complished much to advance the in
teres ts of the party and he has never
held an Office. He is in every way
fitted for the position he seeks and if
nominated and elected would prove a
capable official and would conduct the
affairs of the office in manner en-
tirely satisfactory to the public Mr..
Lamb is property owner in Mankato
and citizen who has always con-
tributed his share toward the upbuild-
ing of the town in which he has so long
been resident. Mr.. Lamb has con-
Quoted and will conduct a campaign

Thomas Hughes has been drawn in
to the race for county attorney at the
earnest and repeated solicitation Of
hundreds of Republican voters, who,
personally and by petition, have asked
him to be candidate this year. He
has given in to the pressure somewhat
reluctantly, but is now in the fight to
stay.
Mr.. Hughes was born in Ohio in
1854, and the following year his pa
tents moved to Minnesota, locating in
Blue Earth county. He has resided in
the county ever since, growing to
manhood here. and has practiced law
in Mankato since 1889. He has served
two terms as county attoroney, and
his record both as an attorney and as
county attorney are open to the closest
scrutiny. AS county attorney he has
a splendid record as prosecutor of
law violators and also as an advisor of
the county board. He saved the county
a good deal of expense in both fields,
and his influence was always exerted
on the side of conservative expendi-
lures.
Mr.. Hughes is upright. thoroughly
and is man of ability. If
at the primary election he
will sweep the county, and will give
his best efforts to the Office, as in the
past.

chester, Mass, securing the degree of

Mr.. Brooks has had sixteen years
experience in his chosen profession,
the greater part of which has been in
railroad work in this state, on the
Pacific coast, and in the republic of
Mexico.
Mr.. Brooks has had more work to do
than usually falls to the lot of county
surveyors. because of the large
amount of public ditch work that has
been done during his incumbency of
the Office. He promises the same
faithful, painstaking service as in the
past, if reelected, which he will be
beyond doubt.

John r. Bowen, candidate for regis
ter of deeds, is new man in the
political arena but is a most worthy
and well-qualified gentleman. Mr..
Bowen is a native of Pennsylvania,
and came to Minnesota with his
parents in 1866, locating in Nicollet

himself for carrying on the work of
book keeping in his business
For twenty years Mr.. Bowen has
followed the mercantile business and
is at present conducting grocery
store on South Front street.
Although an ardent and Jealous
worker in the Republican ranks, he
has never asked for an Office. Popular
with all, qualified in every way to
fill the Office of register of deeds, he
asks the suffrage of the people at the
primary election on September 16.
Mr.. Bowen is a clean-cut business
man and there is no question of his
qualification for the position he is now
seeking.

courteous and obliging. His records
are most correctly and neatly kept and
it is doubtful if there is another officer
in the state who has better record
than Mr.. Thorne.
Mr.. Thorne is a native of New York
state and came to Blue Earth county
about twenty-fv years ago. His
home is at Lake Crystal.
During his long career in public
Office Mr.. Thorne has had occasion to
meet great many people and it is no
exaggeration to say that every one
of them is his friend. He is a very
popular gentleman and being such the
Democratic party has not seen fit in
recent years to nominate candidate
against him.

unable to attend school but few
months, he was determined upon Sc

use of it. When past twenty years of
age, the owner of a good health,

but was advised by the officers Of that
institution, that, owing to advanced
age and limited preparation, the bust
ness course would be more profitable.
He was, however. permitted to try the
examinations for the academy, and
succeeded in passing not only the en-
trance examination, but also those of
the first year and the fall term of the
second, gained another year by work
ing up the college freshman class, and
graduated in 1895, at the age of ID,
with the best standing on record, the
highest class honors, and an indebted
ness of $500. He then studied law in
the Office of Judge Cray, was admitted
to the bar and into the state of matri-
mony about three years later, and has
ever since enjoyed good law practice
in this city. AS business man he has
been eminently successful, holds sew
eral positions of trust and responsible
ity, and is today one of our most pro-
gressive citizens. He is also man of
sterling character and kind disposi-
ton, and has deservedly won the re-
spect and esteem which he enjoys.
In politics he is Republican, seeking
the nomination of that party, and will
receive it without opposition. He
starts out on his public career with
the good will and best wishes of the
people of all parties, and it is safe to
say. that he will prove himself
credit to Blue Earth county.
