Republican County Ticket.

SCIItdllVC anu competent men. neN
are nearly all so we'll known through
out the county as to need no intro
duction to the voters, but in accord
ance with the usual custom we will
proceed to ssintroduce" them "iust
the same"
William l.. Gilman of Diamond
Bluff was nominated for the Assem-.
bly, by reclamation. Mr.. Gilman i,
personally gentleman of good re.
pute and stands we'll among his fell
low citizens, having served Pierce
county as supervisor Of assessment
He is an enthusiastic admirer Of
Gov. La Toilette, and stands square
ly and unequivocally npon a plat
form which heartily endorses La
Toilette and his methods. AS a
member of the Legislature Mr.. OFT
man can be safely depended upon to
keep upon the platform and redeem
the pledges which he made to the
convention.
Ole 7. Hohle of Martell was re-
nominated for county clerk by ac-
clamation. Mr.. Hohle is now serv-
ing his third term in this office, no
other incumbent of which was more
popular. He attends strictly to bust
ness, and the work of his office is
up to date.
The reclamation business was
continued in the case of F. w. Ken
dali of Rock Elm, who is now serv-
ing his first term as county treasurer,
for which office he was repominated.
Mr.. Kendall has proven himself an
efficient, affable and accommodating
official, and it was fitting that he
should be named for a second term.
Owing to the multiplicity Of can
didates for the office of sheriff the
reclamation chain became tangled
up little, and balloting was resort
ed to, resulting in the nomination Of
ex-Sheriff M. Nugent of Trimbelle.
Mr.. Nugent was elected to this Of
flee in 1893, faithfully and efficiently
serving therein for one term, and
his nomination at this time is a we'll
merited tribute to popular officer.
J. S. Copley of Clifton untangled
the reclamation chain and was nomi-
mated coroner by reclamation. We
have ceased numbering the terms
Mr.. Copley has held this office, and
the oldest inhabitant would make
no attempt to give the number, but
everybody knows that he is ''just
the man for the place.
L. 6. Spinny of Ellsworth, the
popular and efficient clerk of the
circuit court, who is now serving his
third term, was renominated by &C
clamation. Besides being first
class official Mr.. Spinny is goo |
ll-around hustler who makes friends
wherever he goes, and has the con-
fdence of the people.
George Thompson of Ellsworth,
now serving his first term as district
attorney, was renominated by &C
clamation. Mr.. Thompson is
gentleman of excellent legal attain
ments and one of the rising young
lawyers of this portion of the state,
and faithful in the discharge of his
official duties.
When the convention reached the
office of register of deeds balloting
was resumed, w. w. Walsingham,
the present incumbent, being re-
nominated upon the first formal bal
lot. Mr.. Walsingham is now serv-
ing his fourth term, and his nomina-
ton for fifth attests strongly to
his popularity as public official.
1t is no reflection upon any one of
his predecessors for us to say that he
has the reputation of being the most
prompt register of deeds that Pierce
county has ever had. This reputa-
ton he has gained by strict attention
to business, and his efficiency is be-
yond question.
c. w. Jensen of River Falls was
nominated for surveyor, by acclama-
ton. Mr.. Jenson is native of this
city, and is a son of our highly-es-
teemed fellow citizen, r. II. Jensen.
The nominee for surveyor is a
bright young man of excellent prom
Use, and having recently graduated
from the State University in the
civil engineering course is well
equipped for proper and efficient
discharge of the duties of county
surveyor.
