Spring Politics.

As spring caucus approaches Sc are
the number OF candidates for the vari-
Gus town offices increasing, and the
electors will have a wide range OF con-
potent men to choose from when they
name the ticket next Saturday AFTER
noon. There are but two candidates at
present for the Office of chairman, Mart
HirzeLand Mat Scherible. No one can
ill the Office to the entire satisfaction
OF everyone. Mr.. Hirzei has held the
office for the past two years and more,
and any mistakes he may have made
are still fresh in the minds of the peo-
pie. On the other hand the benefits
which the town has derived under the
present administration are very com
mendable. and the board is certainly
deserving of credit for the juducious
maner in which they have handled the
towns affairs. Some of the results,
particularly the building of Highways,
are very gratifying. In all told fl
teen miles of good turnpike road were
built, and we doubt very much if a bet
ter piece of road can be found in north
ern Wisconsin. Taken ali in all a bet
ter showing was made this year in the
way of the building of highways and
bridges for the amount of money APP
propriated than ever before in the his
tory of the town. Mr. Hirzel has prov
ed himself to be one of the most eff
cient members of the county board that
the town las ever had, and an examin-
alton of your tax receipts will show a
reduction OF nearly ten per cent. which
has been brought about through his
diligent work in that body.
Mat. Scherible, the other candidate
for the craftsmanship, has served the
town in the capacity of supervisor for a
good many years, and made good
showing in that particular office, and
this is the first time that he has sought
craftsmanship honors.
| The supervisorial field is also we'll
filled with candidates, there being s x
in the race now. VIM. Persohn, Robt.
Felt, Amos Radcliffe, f.. C. Hall and
Math. Keamer Mr.. Persohn is one
| of the present board, and has left an
excellent record behind him. Mr..
Bonner has held the Office before and
certainly done good work. The other
gentlemen are all good men in every
prospect, and now it is up to the voter to
say who the nominees shall be.
It is not likely that there will be any
opposition against Fred Morey for town
treasurer, at least no one has appeared
in the field yet. Mr.. Morey has held
the office for a number of years and has
made q very careful and pains5aking
officer. Incur humble opinion a bet
ter man could not be elected.
The Office of town clerk comes in for
it's share of the fun and is being hotly
contested between Fred Mcintyre and
Geo. Steinmetz. There has been some
talk of John Diamond again being 9
candidate, but he has not as yet an
Inouucel his candidacy.
The office OF assessor is one OF the
most Important on the ticket Us 1t re-
auires full knowledge Of the taxable
property as well as good Judgment on
the part of the men selected fo4' the
office. w. J. Walsh has become can
didate for this office upon the solicita-
ton of many of our citizens. John
Brady, whose announcement will be
found elsewhere in these columns, is
also being talked of. VIM. Tellet-
son, one of the present assessors and
who has filled that Office for several
wears in most efficient manner, will
be q candidate for reelection. We un-
derstand that John Parks is candi-
date for nomination to that Office also.
The other offices to be filled are min
or ones aud so far no candidates have
appeared in the field excepting Editor
Bowen, who, so we are informed, is out
for ihstice OF the peace.
