The office of clerk of court is an i'm
portant one and requires clear headed
official 1t is one of those offices where
experience is a great aid in the prompt
service of the public. A knowledge of
the position and location of the files en-
ables the incumbent to quickly find what
he is looking for. Mr. Thorne combines
good mind with a ripe experience, and
the affairs of the office have never been
so smoothly conducted as during the
past few years.
Mr.. Thorne is painstaking, courteous
and obliging. His records are most cor
rectly and neatly kept, and it is doubt
full whether there is another clerk of
court in the state who has the affairs
of his office so we'll in hand as Mr.
Thorne.
Mr.. Thorne is a native of New York
state, but came to Blue Earth county
more than quarter of century ago.
He has continued to maintain his resi-
dence at Lake Crystal, since election to
office. There is where his family re-
sides, consisting of his wife who has been
confirmed invalid for eight years.
Mr.. Thorne's personal popularity has
been such, that, added to the satisfact-
DRY manner in which he has conducted
the office, no one in the Democratic par
ty has seen fit to seek the office against
him and go against certain defeat. I'm
til this year Mr.. Thorne has also had a
clear field in his own party. If nomin-
ated, he will be source of strength to
the ticket.

Among the hustling candidates in this
falls campaign is D. S. Evans, who
seeks the Republican nomination for
county treasurer Mr.. Evans is well
known in this city and county, having
been raised from boyhood in this vi
cinity. His residence for thirty years
past has been in Mankato, and previous
to that he lived for eight years on a
farm in Butternut Valley. He attended
school in Mankato for three years, and
then taught a term of school in Cambria.
He held position in the city for five
years, and then became deputy post
master under L. p Hunt, and served for
year and half. This was in 1888
and 1884. He then went on the road
for the knitting mill and fbreware
works and followed this pursuit for
nearly ten years. Unfortunately, his
health became impaired and for five
years he was unable to perform labor
of any kind. For the last five years he
has been in the life insurance business,
the most of this time representing the
New York Life Insurance company.
-Four years ago Mr.. Evans was cand
idate for county treasurer, and received
strong support, making a good showing
in the convention, Although he failed
to land the nomination, he pulled off his
coat and worked for the success of the
ticket. In fact, he has always been
loyal and enthusiastic party man,
though never holding a political office.
Mr.. Evans has been through the chairs
in the Knights of Pythias and is now
district deputy grand chancellor. He has
held all of the offices in the local chapt-
er of the M. B. A., and is now serving
his second term as president. He is an
active member of the Presbyteria
church. He is a commercial college grad
uate, and has done much clerical work
and is well qualified to take up and
carry on the work in the office of coun-
ty treasurer.

B. BANGERTER, IR.

b. Bangerter, Jr., again seeks the Re-
publican nomination for register of
deeds, an office that he has filled for
several years with great credit. There
has been little or no cause for COM
plant at the manner in which the af-
fairs of the office have been conducted
by Mr.. Bangerter and his corps of as
sistants. He has been courteous and OBJ
liging to all, and the business of the Of
flee has been dispatched with prompt
ness and accuracy.
Mr.. Bangerter has been a resident of
Mankato for more than forty years, hav-
ing left New Ulm with his parents at
the time of the Indian outbreak. He
was reared and educated in this city, and
for eighteen years held position in the
hardware store of g. Lulsdorf & Son,
leaving this to assume the duties of reg
lister of deeds. For many years he has
been a member of the fire department,
and for several years has been assistant
chief. He has pleasant home on North
Broad street and is raising a nice fam
lily.
The selection of Mr.. Bangerter as his
own successor will add strength to the
Republican ticket, as he represents ma
tionality that will otherwise have but
little if any place on the ticket.

P. S. Thomas, candidate for clerk of
court, was born in Morgan, Vermont. He
came to Minnesota when twenty-one
years of age. In 1896 he located at Man
kato, taking charge of the Mankato
Fruit Commission company's business
here, where he has resided ever since.
Mr.. Thomas has been republican all
his life, has always taken an interest
in politics, but has never been candi-
date for any office before. He is now
candidate for nomination for clerk of
court of Blue Earth county.
Mr.. Thomas is well qualified for the
place, and desires the support of the Re-
publican voters of the county, and judg-
ing from present indications he is strict
ly in it. He is well qualified for the po-
sition, and with the clerical experience
which he has had could master the af
fairs of the office in a very short time
and give general satisfaction in the con-
duct of the same.
Mr. Thomas is clean cut, honorable
and upright young man, whose acquaint-
ances all speak well of him. He has
gone through the chairs in the Royal Ar
canum council and is also a Mason He

Mankato as a conservative, reliable man,
who has the confidence of all who know
him. He is lawyer by profession, hav-
ing graduated from the law department
of the university of Minnesota and been
admitted to the bar in June, 1900. He
is a native of Wisconsin, though brought
up in Vermont. If elected, the school
system will have the advantage of his
legal training.
Mr.. Smith has taken special courses
in pedagogy at the university of Mime
sofa under DIR. Kiehle, Prof. Maria San
ford, and Miss Sarah Arnold. now super
intendent of primary work in the city o.
Boston, Mass. He also took three
weeks course of lectures in pedagogy at
Colorado Springs, Colo, under Prof. j..
A. Hancock, and another under Prof.
O'Shea, formerly of our normal school.
While Mr.. Smith has not been en-
gagged directly in teaching since 1897, he
has always kept alive his interest in
educational work by reading, by attend
ing local educational gatherings, and by
watching the results of teaching in the
local schools.
Mr.. Smith believes that in education
very largely lies the solution of the
labor and capital, social and economic
questions, and that as is the teacher
of today so will, very largely, be the
man and the country of tomorrow.
Mr.. Smith has taught one year in this
county, two years as principal and sup
erintendent at Slayton, where he got the
school upon the high school list, and
one year at Melrose, Mimi, as principal
and superintendent.
Mr.. Smith states that if elected to
this office he will use his very best eff
forts to make the rural schools of Blue
Earth county second to none in the
state, and he asks the people of the
county to support him at the primaries
on Sept. Goth.

LEWIS DAVIS.

Lewis Davis, the present efficient
county treasurer, is serving his second
term, and no complaints have been made
or fault found with the manner in which
the office has been conducted. On the
other hand, all having dealings with the
office have felt that it was in competent
hands, and that it is being well conduct
ed, giving prompt and courteous service,
even in times when there have been a
rush to pay taxes.

him to favorable notice. He has always
resided on the farm except when he at
tended the state normal school and when
he was assistant in the treasurer's office
under County Treasures Lloyd and Ew-
ing.
Mr.. Davis is in every way self-made
man. His mother died when he was
four years old, and his father eight
years ago. He inherited little from
them except an honest name and the
good example of their lives. With two
brothers and four sisters, all but one
of whom live in this county, he has
fought the battle of life and has won
through merit.
Mr.. Davis is an expert accountant and
has. the affairs of his office so we'll in
hand that he can show a trial balance
at any time on thirty minutes notice.
He is representative of the younger
Republicans, who are more and more
claiming recognition. Should the voters
of the county see fit to entrust the af-
fairs of this important office with him
again, they will know that they have a
trustworthy, painstaking and accurate
official, whose time and ability will be
entirely devoted to the office with the
regularity of clockwork.

Edgar Weaver is candidate for aud
itor to succeed himself, and has no OPP
position. The efficiency which he has
displayed in the office, and which has
manifested itself to the section of the
public that has had business at the
office, makes it undesirable that any
change should be made in this office at
this time, and Mr.. Weaver will be his
own successor as certainly as any po
litical event can be forecast.
Mr.. Weaver has been a resident of
Mankato for nearly thirty years, and
for twenty years of that time was gen
eral agent for the j. 1. Case Threshing
Machine company, and for three years
was state agent for that company. He
served as mayor of the city for four
years, and for several years was presf
dent of the State Agricultural society
He is at present member of the state
capitol commission. He has proved his
ability in whatever position he has held.
Mr.. Weaver has made an exception
ally good record as auditor of the coun-
ty. He has systematized the work of
the office, making it prompter and more
efficient. The vault has been thorough
ly indexed, resulting in a saving of
time for those who have business there.
In fact, the affairs of the office were
never conducted more smoothly.
Mr.. Weaver is pleasant and popular
gentleman, and one whom it is a pleas
ure to meet. He always has a welcome
for all who visit the office, making them
feel at home.

For county superintendent, Mr.. R. IL.
Brown deserves careful consideration.
For four years he has had charge of the
schools at st. Clair and Vernon Center
in this county. He has just completed
his second term as instructor in the
Mankato Summer school, a position
which he has filled with unusual credit
to himself and to the entire satisfaction
of the Normal people. This fact alone
is a guarantee of Mr.. Browns ability.
He will receive the undivided support
of the Blue Earth county teachers with

One thing on the average farm de-

and that is the using of the Improbable
acres and the waste places. Some of
these corners and acres should go into

Prof. Oscar Olsen Twin, of Decoria,
who is so prominently mentioned as
candidate for county superintendent of
schools, comes before the people with
record that one may well have reasons
to enjoy He is bright, courteous, and
industrious man, one of whom it is said
never lets a minute of time 60 to waste,
but always at work either at his books,
keeping abreast of the times in educa-
tional work or improving his spare time

and highly respected man, and his many
friends throughout the county are pleas

teemed man to place before the peo-
pie to fill so important position as
that of county superintendent of schools.
Prof. Ulvin is truly product of Blue

the county for the past twenty-five
years. He is graduate of three insti-
tutions of learning, and has had nine
years experience in teaching with excel
lent success. The last two years super

where he made an excellent record. So
far as finished education is concerned,
he is well qualified while his splendid
personal habits and general high char
acter make him an ideal candidate for
this truly important office.
The newspapers of the county are
paying Prof. Ulvin many compliments,
and several of them are heartily en-
dorsing his candidacy, and his nomina-
ton seems sure.
Prof. Oscar Olsen Ulvin, of Decoria,
who is a candidate for the office of coun-
ty superintendent of schools, is man
of sterling worth and integrity, and pos
sessing an unblemished character. He
has been a resident of the county for
the past twenty eight years and it
seems no more than right that an old
and respected resident should have the
preference. He is abundantly qualified
for the position and we heartily endorse
his candidacy and feel assured that
when the votes are counted on the goth
of September, that he will be nomin-
ated by large maj ority.-Mankato

The Mankato Review believes and has
always advocated the removal of the of
fee of county superintendent of schools
from politics, and the best. qualified man
for the position should be elected. Prof
Ulvin possesses all the qualifications for
the position to which he aspires. He
has splendid education, has had a
number of years experience in teaching,
is a pleasant and courteous gentleman
and makes a very favorable impression
with all who he comes in contact with.
If hard work will win the nomination
there ought to be no question about
Prof. Ulvin securing it and he is proving

successful in the contest.
Oscar Olsen Ulvin is still making
friends among the voters of this coun-

will do good thing when it comes
their way at the primaries. Eagle Lake
