CANDIDATES ON THE
REPUBLICAN TICKET.

prosecuting attorney and law officer for
the county has been of vigorous, yet
conservative nature. Mr.. Bennett has
saved the taxpayers many hundreds Of
dollars by declining to prosecute on friv-
iolous charges, first investigating before
making arrests and costs. It was be-
cause of his splendid conduct of the
affairs of the Office that Mr. Bennett
was nominated for third term to tine
| position. He has shown adaptability
and promptness for his work. When he
goes n court with an action in favor of
the county he always has his case well
prepared and ready for trial Vernon
county has had many able and thorough
| prosecuting officers, but none we believe
who have made better record in the
position.
| SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
The fact that there is now no opposi-
tion candidate to Henry L. Gardner as
| county superintendent of schools, ex-
| presses more than words can tell. For
| third term he is before the people and
will be reelected with one voice. This
! he has deserved and earned because of
his conduct of the educational interests
1 Of the county. This is the most impor-
tant position the people have to bestow.
1t goss to the very foundation Of society
and sound government Mr.. Gardner
has given his entire attention and energy
to.ths work he was elected to do, and
his working hours have been long. He
has continued his weekly teachers asso.
Citations during the winter months and
exposed himself To all kinds of weather
to keep engagements for the bettermeut
of his large family af teachers. Supt.
Gardner has succeeded in getting some
of the best conductors for Institutes TO
be had in the state, and these meetings
have been signal successes Educators
of the county without exception are
earneaty' for the reelection of MIR.
Gardner. They recognize him to be
| man who Il in love with his work and
| giving every moment of his time and all
his strength and energy to the upbuild-
ing Of education.
FOR THE LEGISLATURE.
In the history of Wisconsin no more
critical period has been recognized than
the prssent Ii ia the climax to decide
whether the people or corporation inter
| ests of this commonwealth are to be
served. No right minded man desires
that the public service corporations of
this state shall pay one cent more than
| is their due, while on the other hand the
corporations seem determined to ignore
/ the findings of the state tax commission
| and continue to assess themselves and
| pay taxes on different basis than do
| individuals and firms. The commission
is non-partissn and has no reason for
doing injustice to any individual. firm
| or corporation. The whole fight within

| this question as the underlying Htruc-
| ture If a legislature can be elected
| which will ignore the promises of the
republican party and the recommenda-
| tions Of the state tax commission, then
no favorable legislation will be had
along these lines, and the people will
continue to make good the million dol
lars the tar commission says isdue from
the corporations. Vernon county has
at present member of the lower house
of the legislature who has proven his
soundness and loyalty 10 all the princi-
pies of the republican party and the
