to congress, and the Democrat earn
estly hopes that the movement towards
that end will be successful. The fol-
lowing are few OF many expressions
Ia favor Of his nominations:
Richland Democrat: In the candi-
dacy OF Judge jerks Is found one OF
those rare cases where the Office seeks
the man. Judge jerks has been solic-
tied from every part OF each county
In the district to stand M n candida ate,
but II IL only after mature reflection
and under pressure OF friends every.
where that he has consented to make
the run. He should and doubtless will
receive the unanimous support of
every county In the district nv he Is
prominently the best qualified and
most popular man spoken OF for the
place, He Is man of commanding
appearance, acknowledged ability,
and one whose uprightness OF charac-
ter commands the respect aud admi-
ration OF every man In his home
county, where he Is best known. AS
the candidate for congress In this
third district he will not only poll the
entire Democratic vote but the vote OF
every Republican who believes In
honor In public affairs. We hope to
see him have the united support OF the
delegates already elected from Rich
land county.
Dodgeville Sun, May 2S. In an In
taryiew this morning Judge jerks
said In regard TO the above that he
had no ambition to go to congress,
but the Democrats OF Iowa county
had been very loyal to him In the
past, and II they insisted upon his
accepting the nomination, II 1t was
rendered him by the convention, he
would feel under obligation To accept
IL. The Sun will be active In support
Of Judge jerks II he should be the
choice OF the convention and would
feel gratiiled to see the nomination
come to him. He Is the most popular
aud logical candidate of the party In
this district and we will be very glad

jerks to Washington.
Chas. w. Mcllhon, Mineral Point:
| am pleased To learn that the name OF
Judge Aldro jerks will be presented
to the Democratic congressional con-
ventlon, with his consent, for the
nomination. understand that his
consent was won only after he had
been urged by many Democrats from
each OF the counties In this congress
sional district to allow his name to
be presented. He will not go before
that convention rs n "homen or ga
vorite SON. candidate. The Demo.
Gratis OF Iowa county will stand solid
ly with this movement to make him
the candidate OF that convention, be-
cause as citizen his record Is with
out u stain, and rs " democrat, while
he Is no partisan fanatic, he Ia sound
on the fundamental principles OF his
party. He Is one of the ablest law
yers In the state, and consequently
well equipped to discharge the duties
of the position. He Is nm honest, able
man, and were he our representative
In congress the people of this district
would know that he could not be
swerved from the line OF duty by any
influence. As the representative of
the people he would be found at all
times In his position fighting to place
on our statutes laws that would Sc
cure equal rights to all and special
privileges TO none. Representatives
In congress OF Judge jerks calibre
and ability, fighting along such lines,
would keep the trusts from being u
menace to the peoples rights, and
would assure the people that legisla-
tion would come from them rather
than from the paid lobbyists.
l.. G. Fielder, Mineral Point: No
better man could be named TO repre-

his name for Official preferment, Mt a
time like this when the atmosphere
isfilled with charges and counter
charges against public officials, comes
like sunshine after dense fog.
We need more men like Judge
jerks In public life. His record In
