J. P. Nolan Candidate
For Secretary OF State

James P Nolan of this city is can
didate for the nomination of secretary
of state on the democratic ticket.
The Importance of the Office OF secre,
tary of state is only second to that of
the states chief executive. 1t is an
office that calls for u large and varied
experience in public affairs, executive
ability of a high grade and ministerial
efficiency Mr.. Nolan can meet these
requirements He has had large ex-
perience in public matters. He was a
member of the Manitowoc county board
of supervisors for fourteen years aud
served AZ chairman of that board for
five years From 1899 to 1893 he was y
member of the Legislature. In 1892 he
was elected clerk Of the circuit court
for Manitowoc county Mr.. Nolan has
been member of the democratic state
central committee, and chairman of the
democratic county committee for years.
His success as practical real estate
business man affords additional ground
for the opinion quite generally expressed
by prominent democrats that he is
possessed of the qualities that should
make for success in the administration
of the high office to which he aspires.
