The above is the Jefferson county
ticket of the Republican party, as it
will appear upon the official ballot.
The candidates are all, without a
single exception, strong and capable
men. deserving of the trust which the
Republican party has reposed in them.
Years ago a nomination by the Demo
cradle county convention was equal to
an election, but it is becoming more
evident with each election that even
in old Jefferson county the Republican
party, the party which stands for pro-
gressiveness and prosperity, is gaining
a strong foothold, especially is this
true in years when the presidential
cam paigu is on, as was the case when
Bryan's fallicies brought such disaster
to his party in 90 and 90. This year
the contest in our county will again be
close, of that we feel certain, ard it
behooves every voter who would see
representatives of the G.. D. P. in
power turn out without fail and vote
for the Republican county ticket.
A brief mention of the various can.
didates for county office at this time
will not come amiss.
L. B. HELEN, the candidate for
County Clerk, is native Of Gown Oak
land, where he stands high as citi-
zen and a Republican. Though COM
paritiveiy a young man, Mr.. HELEN
has done much FOR his party in the
past. His popularity was demon
strated by the heavy vote which he
polled against his Democratic oppo-
nent several years ago. Vote for him
on Tuesday next and you make no
mistake.
George ?. Gates is emphatically the
city of Watertown's own candidate for
sheriff. AS chief of the fire depart
ment and as alderman of the fourth
ward he mas clearly demonstrated MS
ability, and his willingness to make
almost any sacrifice to serve his con-
stituents Loyalty and faithfully at all
times While Mr.. Gates never has
sought Office and the nomination of
sheriff came TO him unsolicited, he has
gone into the battle with a determine
tion and spirit which do honor to the
man, and prove that the Republican
party made no mistake in honoring
him with the nomination. We feel
certain that Mr.. Gates chances for
election are very bright indeed. Vote
for him on Tuesday next.
In nominating Fred II. Henry of
Jefferson for Clerk of Courts, the
Republican party added another strong
man to it's county ticket. Mr.. Henry
has held many offices of trust in the
city where he resides. The writer en-
joys personal acquaintance with him
and we are prepared to say no stronger
or more efficient man could have been
nominated for Clerk of Courts than
Fred II. Henry. If elected he will
certainly prove an excellent and pains
taking official. Vote for him on Tues
day next.
William Piper of Palmyra, the no.
minee for Register of Deeds, is a life
long republican, who has served his
party faithfully in all it's battles. AS
one of Palmyra's most prominent
citizens, with ripe experience and
possessed of pleasing personality.
Mr.. Piper is certainly strong man on
the Republican county ticket and we
find no hesitancy in asking our voters
To cast their ballots for him on Tues
day next.
Arthur M. Webb, of Fort Atkinson,
the Republican candidate for District
Attorney, is one of the leading attor-
neys of this county. He has made an
enviable record as a jurist and stands
high in the esteem of his fellow
citizens and colleagues. He has
served two terms as city attorney OF
Fort Atkinson, is a member of the
common council, water and light com
mission and trustee of the public
library of that city. We do not hesi-
tate in recommending the voters of JEFF
ferson county to cast their ballots foi
Mr.. Webb for District Attorney or
Tuesday next.
Jacob Wagner of Oakland, the
nominee for coroner, and Edward c.
