county ticket just before election,
We have followed this plan for years
and at no time in all the history of
the Reporter and Farmer has there
been a time when the task has given
such genuine pleasure as at this time.
The epublicans have always nomi-
mated good men in the past but
neyer before in the history Of the
party in this county has there been
aticket made up of such exception
ally strong and well qualified men
for the positions which they seek as
is the case this year.
J. e. McDouGALL.
The candidate of Marshall county
for the state senate is j. Z.
McDougall. He is one of the old
timers of Marshall county, having
taken up his residence there in the
early eighties. He was engaged for
years in the butcher and stock bust
ness. He has held Fariors positions
of trust in Marshall county. Two
years ago his county sent him to the
Legislature as a member of the house.
During the last session Mr.. Me
Dougall made a splendid record.
He had a happy faculty of always
being right, and another faculty Of
always being ''next" to what was
going on and anything Mac" wanted
he was pretty sur to get. So well
satisfied were his constituents with
his record that they nominated him
rs their choice for senator without
any opposition in his own party.
e. r. THOMPSON.
When the republicans of Day
county were looking around for a
candidate for the state senate they
happily chose Mr.. E. r. Thompson,
of Waubay. This was clearly a case
OF the Office seeking the man. Mr..
Thompson has been a successful
business man Of Waubay for about
twenty years and is still in business
there conducting a general store and
being president Of the First National
bank of that city. Me-. Thompson is
a gentleman of marked ability and
energy and he will certainly he
prominent in the coming session of
the Legislature and will make a
record that Day county willbe proud
of.
s. L. POTTER.
The first candidate on the ticket
for member of the house of reprs-
sentatiyes in the next legislature is
S. T.. Potter. He was until a year
ago one of the leading citizens of
Butler where he was engaged in the
mercantile and grain business for
about twenty years. BY his square
dealing and honest, upright business
methods he built up a large business
and was very successful A year
ago Mr.. Potter moved to this city
and has opened an elevator. Mr
Potter isa man of wide experience
aud is just the sort OF timber Of
which to make Legislators.
A. W. eIGELow.
The second candidate for legis-
1ative honors is A. w. Bigelow, of
Andover. Mr.. Bigelow has up to
this year been N of the prosperous
farmers of Day county, but when the
tide Of high prices came this year he
sold his farm and was to retire from
active life, but a a full of energy
and life cannot retire and we are
informed that he will soon enter the
mercantile business. He is a man
of good address, splendid education
and sound business judgment. He
he has been a resident of the county

need in the way Of legislation.
