GOOD men NAMED.
Ticket Meets With Approval
On All Sides.
REPUBLICANS ARE PLEASED.
And Democrats Can Find no Fault
With the Splendid Ticket Named.

dHs VI tHlS county placed a TIC
ket in the field that met with
less criticism or that was received
with more expressions of conf
dence or praise. There is not a
weak place on the ticket and re-
publicans are receiving the
congratulations of their demo-
cratic friends who are forced to
admit that it is as strong and
clean ticket as was ever
presented to the voters of this
county.
There is no need at this time
to make any special introduction
of Ed Theobald, Claus Pahl, M.
L. Houlihan, Jr., or of P. ].
Klinker. The people know them
and have tried them and have
found them not to be wanting.
They have made new friends on
every hand since their election
two years ago and there is very
general feeling that they should
be reelected. While men are
candidates for Office because they
wish to be, it is certainly fact,
however. that when a man gives
up his home and moves to the
county seat, if he does good
work, he should be entitled to
more than one term. If it be-
comes the general practice to
give good men but one term in
office it will be harder each year
to persuade the kind of men we
should have for county officers,
to become candidates on any
ticket. Good men deserve rea-
sonable length of services and
the people know that Theobald,
PAIL, Houlihan and klinker have
made good and faithful public
servants.
AS for Uncle Morris, as we
have said before, while the re-
publican party is glad to claim
him, he can scarcely be called
partisan candidate. We trust
that so long as God shall spare
him to the people of this county
they will continue to honor him
with their trust and confidence
and that they may show it by
electing him every two years to
the Office he has administered
with such credit.
New Men on the Ticket
The republican ticket is strong
this year in that it is largely
composed of new men from diff
erent parts of the county. Of the
fifteen candidates nine have
never sought county Office before.
While on the democratic ticket
eleven are old-time ofice-seekers
and but four are new men. It is of
the new men on the republican
ticket we would particularly
speak of in this issue.
For Representative C. H. White.
The republican candidate for
this important office is allied to
no faction. He is Dolliver man
and would vote for his return to
the United States senate. He is
friendly to the interests of all of
Crawford county's representative
republicans and would lose no
opportunity to advance their well
fare. He is a type of the sue
cessful Crawford county farmer.
An Iowan by birth coming from
Clinton county which has given
so many good citizens to Craw-
ford. He was born in Dewitt in
1854 and is now in the very
prime of his faculties. In 1876,
thirty years ago, he came to
Crawford county, working at
first as farm hand. Two years
he worked on the old G. B. Glenn
ent ranch and. for one year he
was employed by Jas. Maynard,
ex-supervisor. He received SIS.
per month, good wages for those
days, and he worked hard and
faithfully. 1t was from this hum
BILE beginning that he worked his
way up. In 1879 he was married
to Emma E. Stagleman,a daugh-
ter of Marx Stagleman we'll
known to the Germans of east
ern Crawford. He rented the
Thos. B. Clement farm in Jack
son township and in 1882 he
bought 200 acres in Stockholm
township, paying SIS. per acre.
This was a heavy load to carry
but he paid off the debt and later
bought another 200 acres at S45.
per acre. He now farms this
land together with 100 acres of
grass land which he rents. He
is one of the large cattle feeders
of the county, feeding from $50
to 300 head yearly besides mar
keting large number of hogs
