the past few days indicating that he
will receive big majority over E. G.
Krahmer, his Republican opponent.
The attitude of Krahmer relative to
paying out money for the repair of
county roads has aroused the farmers
in the country and the merchants in

Beck is thoroughly familiar with the
work of the Office and can be depended

The charges that have been made
against Jesse Foot, the Republican
candidate, are having their effect. Al
most without exception the business
men are supporting Metzdorf, realiz-

that he has antagonized. The labor
unionists are after him, and the friends
of the candidates whom he defeated
at the primaries are only awaiting for
an opportunity to knife him. Mr..
Mlesen is making a campaign that
promises to be a winner. Receiving
the united support of his party, and
the knowledge being general that he is
thoroughly familiar with the duties
OF the position, Mr.. Miesen will doubt
less receive large majority over his
opponent.
Men of all parties and of all opinions
are supporting DR.. A. w. Miller for
coroner, and it is confidently believed
that he will repeat the triumphs OF
former campaigns. The just and fear
