witt In OF r,,.il a ~, III
congressional convention Benton coun-
ty republicans will join with their fell
low republicans of the district in
choosing for the sixth
consecutive time Hon. r. G. Cousins
as our standard bearer for the Fifth
congressional district
I'VE recognize in Judges G. w. Burn
ham and Obed Caswell men of wis
dom and integrity. able lawyers, fair,
upright and impartial judges: whose
fair minded services on the bench have
their desire to interpret the
law according to it's intent and purpose,
and to fearlessly render decisions in
accord with what they find the law and
the facts justify.
We therefore, unreservedly approve
to each of them our warm endorsement
and ask for their denomination. We
further ask that Hon. G. W. Burnham
accept the privilege of naming the del
egates to the judicial convention with
power to fill any and all vacancies that
may occur in the delegation.
"The candidacy of Hon. NJ. A. Buchan
of Grundy county for clerk of the SUI
preme court commands the commenda-
ton of the republicans of Benton
county. A man of ability, honor and
integrity, we look on him as Well fitted
for the position of trust and RESPONSE
bility to which he aspires; we therefore
endorse his candidacy for clerk of the
supreme court.
1--WE look with favor upon the candi-
dacy of Hon. N. S. Ketchum Of Mar
shall county for the nomination for
railroad commissioner. A man of hon.
or and integrity, of tried business ex
perience, familiar with the needs Of
the people, the progress and develop
ment of the state and its future posi-
bilities, he has peculiar fitness for the
position to which he aspires. We there
fore endorse his candidacy for railroad
and pledge to the nomi-
nees Of the state. congressional and
judicial conventions our hearty sup
port"
