REPUBLICANS CONVENTION WORK,
A STRONG AND ABLE TICKET

assembly conNeutiohe' 0N0
fore the people of Vernon county Tor
their suffrages one of the strongest tick
cts the party has nominated in years,
geographically and in nationality re-
spect the ticket is well balanced Be
sides this there is efficiency and atabii-
ity attached to the ticket.
Although beyond all precedent the
denomination Of Assem- blyman Dahl for
the legislature a fourth term, is wise
stroke for the people. During the past
three sessions Of the legislature Mr.
Dahl has been foremost IN advocacy OF
carrying to fruition the promises OF the
party to the people, and he has WORKED
honestly and intelligenily for the az
complishment of the reforms promised
Ready in debate quick to form acqualn-
tances that bring influence, fearless IN
his determination to accomplish rSsolts
and combat the fallacies OF paid lobby
lists, Mr.. Dahl is strong factor for gooa
in a deliberative body. 1t is no diseredlt
to the many able men who have repre-
scented Vernon county and western WIS
consin in the legislature, to say that the
people have had no ADLER or more CON
sojentious legislator TO serve them than
the present incumbent, Andrew ii. Dahi'
whose experience will be valuable to
the district, the state and himself in the
legislative assembly.
James J. Marshall, who was first NOM
mated two years ago, was unanimously
endorsed Tor reelection by acclama-
ton in the convention The affairs OF
the office have been well conducted al
though because of poor health, NJ Mar
shall has given but little time there.
His deputy, Mr.. Berlie Moore, a m"ss
courteous, intelligent and worthy young
man, has met every demand Of the pub
lie. His presence there is guaranty
that the highest efficiency will continue
in that important function of county
government
The lawful limit which an incumbent
may serve in the responsible position OF
county treasurer expires with next Jan
nary in the case of faithful and efficient
Symon P. Lier He will be 5ucceeded
by much younger man, Mr.. Tor ger
Berge. one of the progressive young
farmers of Franklin, who was nomi-
mated by Saturdays convention. Mr..
Berge is a native of that town born on
the farm where he has always lived,
and that does not mean that he has
failed to apprecl. te and take advantage
of the opportunity tC qualify himself for
intelligent citizenship, whether follow
ing the pillow or in the counting room.
He has attended Viroqua high school,
Lutheran college at DEBORAH and Is a
graduate from the Wisconsin Business
University of La Crosse. MIR. Berge has
served his town as chairman,
treasurer and clerk, all of which will
the better serve him for the higher and
more responsible position of county
Added TO these qualifications
are the high character and integrity of
the nominee. !
There is no higher and more exacting
office in civil authority than that of "a |
keen, forceful, viligant sheriff. The
of last Saturdays convention
will measure up to the requirements. A
gentleman in the very prime of life,
strong, active, fnll of business pnsh, a
republican who has never faltered when
there has been effective and intelligent
work for party success, he Is entitled to
the active and earnest support Of all re.
publicans. Charles L. Ward, the re-
publican nominee for ST. riff, was born
near Sugar Grove: has made his home |
ever in northern Crawford and Vernon
For twenty years he has re-
sided at Chaseburg, and been the trusted |
of the Plano Harvester
Company, rs their block man and col
ector. Upon the consolidation OF the
larvest,, companies MIR. Ward WAS |
rendered a like position to the one held |
ofovided h would remove to northern
Wisconsin, which he declined to do |
His trustworthiness is attested by ais
long and efficient service for his employ |
ers
D. Frank Mains. VINO has given good |
az clerk of the co1rt for two
terms. was renominated He Is = clever |
gentleman with big personal follow
ing. Added to this he made thorough |
canvass, and together they compassed |
his reinstatement Ms the party nominee. |

lar gentlemen contested for the prize, |
which finally fell to Nh CLAUS Gilbertson |
