Of these officials Anton Miesen as

the Citizens said Mr.. Lawler when

VIII nave been righted. And there is
no doubt of the election of Mr. Miesen.
My mind goes back to the campaign of
1872. when | was the standard bearer
| or the Democratic party in the state
or Minnesota, and this same Anton
Mlesen was candidate for sheriff
Many the night we campaigned to-
getner. and l then found Mr.. Miesen
as 1 nnd him tonight, clear of brain
ana strong of muscle. At that time,
and In succeeding elections, he was
defeated, but he did not sulk He was
! with the party, supporting its candi-
dates, and true to the political senti-
ments that have caused him to be a
candidate at times when he knew de-
| feat was inevitable He has always
/ been the same. He supports the entire
ticket, and though defeated himself he
mas been pleased that other men on
| the ticket were successful Give him
your votes. for he is worthy of the
support; thoroughly equipped to fill
the position, and at the end of his

position with credit and to perfect
| satisfaction
Mr.. Lawler asked that Judge James
j. Egans thoroughly qualified to fill
a position Of such importance, be
| elected court commissioner as ii
would De possible for him to bring the
position to the standard intended. Pc
ter j. Metzdorf, he said, is reelected
county treasurer by a tremendous ma
1ority, and Fred Beck will certainly
clean out the auditors office, which is
badly In need of reconstruction.

which p. j. Metzdorf has acted as
county treasurer, referring particularly
10 his discovery Of the frauds that had
peen perpetrated in the cashing of
fraudulent and forged redemption GER
| tlncates. he declared that his ma ior-
lty VIII THIS time be greater than in
any previous election, concluding:
There is no doubt that the men

cashed are now behind the candidacy
OF the Republican candidate against
Mr.. Metzdorf They are bending their
best energies to defeat the man who
did his duty and stopped the robbing
| of the county,
All the speakers urged the election
OF the Democratic candidates for conn
ty commissioners, showing that in this
way only will 1t be possible to insure
the proper construction and repair of
the county roads. j. B. Irvine the
county surveyor and candidate for re-
election, called particular attention to
the fact that during the next year the
poard of county commissioners win
nave $4,000 TO spend for the construc-
ton OF permanent roadways. He call
