Republican Local Nominees.

sona1 mention of each of the sever
al gentlemen who constitute the Re-
publican local ticket.
Hon. Freeman H. Lord of this
city, nominee for Member of Assem-
bly,, is an old resident of the county,
and was for many years one of the
prosperous farmers of the town of
River Falls, which town he faithful
ly represented upon the Board of
County Supervisors for a number
of years. In 1894 he was elected
Member Of Assembly, serving one
term, and in 1895 became a mem
Der of the State Board of Normal
School Regents, position which
he still retains, being now Vice
President of said Board. Mr.. Lords
familiarity with public affairs, and
his past Legislative experience, com
bined with a conservative tempera-
ment and an uprightness of charac-
ter will make him a safe, efficient,
and valuable representative of the
people in the next legislative as
semb1y at Madison.
In the person of Ole ]. Hohle of
Martell, nominated for the office of
County Clerk by reclamation we have
another representative farmer who
has amply demonstrated his fitness
for the position for which he has
been named. He has proven him
self capable, ob1iging and methodi-
cal in the performance of his official
duties, and his retention for anoth-
er term seems eminently proper.
F. w. Kendall of Rock Elm, the
nominee for County Treasurer, is
new in the political arena, but evil
IDENTIFY knows thing or two about
politics. He is now engaged in bus
mess as a druggist, and is enthusi-
astically vouched for by friends as a
gentleman of sterling integrity, and
one who is in every way competent
and worthy to fill the responsible
position for which he has been
named.
James Murphy of the town of Els
worth, another enterprising farmer,
was placed in nomination for the
office of Sheriff. Mr.. Murphy is
straight, politically, first-class all
round hustler, capable, and com
posed of the material requisite for
a strictly up-to-date Sheriff. Jim is
all right, and will stay at the head
of the procession.
John S. Copley of Clifton, still
another farmer, was nominated for
Coroner by reclamation, an indica-
ton that his political fences are in
good repair. Although an incum-
bent of this office for many years
Mr.. Cop1ey is doing little if any
banking upon it, but never shirks
any duty imposed by the party.
L. G. Spinney of Ellsworth vii
lage, the popular and efficient Clerk
of the Circuit Court, was re-nomin-
ated by reclamation. This was a
we'll merited tribute to a deserving
official and TO one who has done
much to promote the cause of har-
mony within the party.
George Thompson, also of the vii
lage of Ellsworth, is the nominee
for District Attorney. Mr.. Thomp-
son was reared in Iowa county, this
state, and is graduate from the
law school of the State University
of Wisconsin. He located at Ellis
worth about year ago, for the
practice of his profession, and came
to stay. He is bright young man
of excellent legal attachments, g
close student, exemplary in charac-
ter, and is highly commended by
older members of the Pierce county
bar for the ski11fu1 manner in which
he conducts cases in our circuit
court.
Warren w. Walsingham of Maiden
Rock village, was designated as his
own successor in the office of Reg
lister of Deeds. Mr.. Walsingham' S
courtesy, promptness, and efficiency
as Register has won for him the adj
miration of all having business re-
lations with him as public officer,
and his we'll deserved popularity
has secured for him an extended
tenure of office, as we'll as for the
people the continued services of a
highly valuable public official.
B. R. Eaton of the city of River
Falls, again re-nominated County
Surveyor, encountered no opposi-
ton, and having already acceptably
filled this position for number of
terms, will be continued in the same
line.
]. Ingli of Union, re-nominated
for County Superintendent of
Schools, as an incumbent of that
Office has manifested jealous in
