New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1902-10-08

county officers takes place the voters will
be compelled TO decide between two good
men for county treasurer. Both are mon
who have heavy interests Ia the county
and both are men for whom voter can
/ cast ballot and not feel that he has
betrayed his interests. It is not sshess
purpose Of the Review TO tell any man
how he shall Yote, that belongs, to the
voter himself. Both MI. Schneider, who
las the Democratic candidate and Mr..
Burg, who is the Republican candidate,
are better known to the people Of Brown
county than the writer is and the fact
that they are candidates for Office and
that they are before the people seeking
this Office should be all that would be.
necessary for the Review to state. The
personal history Of each IS known to-
almost everyone.
Mr.. Burg has been a resident Of this
city for thirty years, has contributed to
the city Of his time and money 10 way
that few men have done. His name on
q brand Of cigars is . synonym for the
honesty Of the goods, just as his word is
as good as his bond il a business trans,
action. He has had the Office OF county
treasurer for two terms, previous to the.
time Of August Swerdtfeger, and is
thoroughly acquainted with the care and
responsibility Of the office.
On the other hand Mr. Schneider comes
before tho people Of the county asking
for reelection as an Endorsement of his
first term in the Office. He came into
Office with no previous knowledge Of the
work he have to do and the record he
has made has been without criticism. He.
has discharged his duties with fidelity.
and strict integrity, and no man can
point to a single instance where there is
room for criticism. tt has been the
policy Of the people where an officer has
done his duty to show their trust in him
by reelection and Mr.. Schneider asks
that it be not reversed in his case, in fact
he has 30 much confidence in the people.
that he feels sure of election as if he had
his certificate in his hands.
In none of the other offices will the
contest be as close as in the Office Of
treasurer, because in none of them are
the men of such equal popularity and
deserving Of the votes of the people, and
for this reason it is gong to be hard for
the voter to decide for which be will cast
his ballot. Ne. .@ss-.# ..z.
OFFICE OF REPRESENTATIVE.
Among all the offices for which candl-
date are to be elected there is not one for
which fight is being made where "a
cleaner campaign is being carried on than
that Of the Office Of representative. For
this Office s. D. Peterson, who has repre-
sented the people Of the county for the
past two years, and W. r.. Hodges, who
was candidate for the senate at one
time and is editor of the Sleepy Eye:
Herald, esthe candidates The former
is the Republican candidate and the lat
ter the Democratic. Both men are we'll
known to the people Of the county, both.
in q business and q political way. Mr..
Hodges has been one Of the most active
workers in his party and has sacrificed
both time and money in the cause that
he is unfolding and he has reason tosex-
pect the entire vote of his party. Mr..
Peterson has for the last thirty-one years
been resident of the county and Of this
city and q large part Of that time has
been devoted to the interests of the
people in a political way and he has
served his party well. The campaign
which these men are carrying on Is entire
| " free from personal abuse Of any kind,
and both will gain the respect Of the
people for 1t. q ...:.
