The county ticket which the republi-
cans of Blue Earth county will be ask.
ed to vote for at the coming election
in November is a particularly strong
one. Nearly all on the ticket nave had
experience in performing the duties of
the offices which they seek, and the
people by their vote Tuesday have ex-
pressed their confidence in them.
The republican county ticket is as fol,
lows: For representatives, Me Juliar,
John T. Lewis and Z. w. Gates; for
commissioners, William Morrow in the
fifth district, and Alex Hanson i'm the
third district; auditor, Edgar Weaver;
treasurer, Thomas w. Hart; register of
deeds, b. Bangerter Jr.; Judge of pro-
bate, William +. Hughes; clerk of court
Stephen Thorne, county attorney, S. b.
Wilson; sheriff, Bennett Williams; coun-
y
son Ulvin; surveyor, Walter +. Brooks;
coroner, F. r. Kennedy.
Mr. Juliar has had experience in the
legislature, and acquired a reputation for
conservatism that is refreshing in these
days of large expenditures of the pub
lie money. He also has good ideas on
other kinds of legislation, and is emf
nently "safe man." Messrs. Lewis
and Gates will be new men in the halls
of legislation, but as they are bright and
energetic and the soul of integrity they
will prove valuable members of the
house. With three such good men in the
lower house. and Senator Eberhart in
the senate. the interests of Blue Earth
county will be we'll looked after.
Mr.. Hart, who is the candidate for
treasurer, and Mr. Ulvin, who is the can
didate for county superintendent, are
the only untried men on the list. The
rest have all served one term or more
and have proven competent, capable men,
There is no one who, knowing Messrs.
Hart and Ulvin, will for moment doubt
their ability to perform the duties of
their offices in the most satisfactory
manner.
OF the candidates who were defeated,
it can only be said that they did not
get votes enough. Where several men
were candidates for the same office,
it was bound to be the case that all but
one would have to be disappointed. This
does not mean that those who were less
fortunate were not considered Compel
ent for the offices to which they as
pired. 1t rather meant somewhat
smaller general acquaintance throughout
the county. Under the primary election
system, acquaintance counts for much.
Some good men were defeated Tuesday,
but they should not take their defeat
to heart. The years whirl along rapid.
ly, and they will soon have another
chance. The wise ones among the de-
feated candidates will acquiesce in the
will of the people with as much grace
as possible, support the ticket that the
party has named, and thus strengthen
themselves in the good opinion of the
party and fortify themselves for the
next battle of the ballots. There is
little or no soreness visible anywhere,
which shows the metal of which the de-
feated candidates are made, and will
commend them to the future considera-
ton of the party.
County Auditor Weaver received the
last of the election returns this morn
ing. He had all in last yesterday after
noon except those from Vernon Center
village and township. The footing were
made this morning and it was found that
the various candidates had received the
following votes in the entire county:
