JOHN L.OHMANN,
Republican Candidate for Nomination
for County Comm issioner.

Among the candidates for county
commissioners there is one that merits
the support Of all. and that is John
Lehman. 1t is fortunate that such
men viii come forward and place their
names before the public at the coming
primary. John Lohmann has grown
up with the city and is an old settler
here. He came here in 1856 with his
parents, who located at Lake Elmo,
where he resided until 1886, when he
moved to the city, and is 81 years old.
Mr.. LOhmann is we'll qualified and par
ticularly fitted for the Office he seeks,
he having worked on road construction
work himself in earlier days, and is
also an enthusiastic cyclist. Few citi-
zens have covered more miles on
cycles on our roads than he has, and
he is thoroughly familiar with every
read in the county and knows where
repairs and improvements are neces-
sary and where the expenditure of the
public funds will do the most good.
Mr.. Lohmann is conservative, act
i've and very prompt in his business
and what is more. no one
will ever say that he took dishonest
penny anywhere. His excellent rec
ord as a public servant is too we'll and
favOrably known to need mentioning.
Such men should be elected and the
public interest will be in safe hands
and everybody get a square deal.

M. w. FITZGERALD,
Republican Candidate for Renomina.
ton as Register of Deeds Ramsey

Republican Candidate for Renomina-
ton as Register of Deeds Ramsey
Mr.. Fitzgerald is no stranger to the
voters and taxpayers of Ramsey Coun-
ty. He is candidate at the earnest
solicitation of attorneys, real estate
men and the many who have business
with him. He is efficient, straightfor-
ward, honorable, upright and his in
tei!iSent management of the office
makes it one Of the best conducted in
the State.
It was during Mr.. Fitzgerald's in
cumbency that the Torrens system
OF transferring real property was au-
thorized by the legislature in the coun-
ties of Ramsey, Hennepin and St.
Louis. Since the passage of that law
which constitutes the register of deeds
OF Ramsey county, the register Of
titles, Mr.. Fitzgerald has devoted q
great deal of time and study to the
adaptation Of the system to this county.
He has labOred necessarily upon the
system, preparing forms, arranging de-
tails, ana attending to the thousand
and one thinas necessary to facilitate
and perfect the operation Of the new
law. This in itself has involved much
time and labor. but Mr. Fitzgerald
feels that his efforts have been amply
rewarded by the results.
Aside from all considerations of poll.
tics, M. W. Fitzgerald deserves the
support Of the electorate. He has prov.
ed his worth by his daily work, and
there is no excuse that can be justly
advanced in favor of a change.
Faithful discharge of onerous public
duty, for small compensation, can no.
where be better rewarded than in the
reelection of M. w. Fitzerald.
AS the Afro-Americans in large mum
bers are acquiring property it behooves
them to take an interest in the matter
OF the titles to the same. Then too MI
FitZgerald has shown something Of his
spirit of fairness to all classes by Civ
ing employment at times to severa
Afro Americans in his office.

Well, they drink meat-meat ex-

have for centuries watered our roses

FOR CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT
RAMSEY COUNTY MINI,

Captain Henry A. Castle a resident
of Saint Paul for forty years and al
ways prominently and actively at work
for the city and for his party, is now
q candidate for Clerk Of the District
Court on the Republican ticket
Captain Castle has some points that
specially appeal to the colored Repub'
lican voters. He fought during the
war for the Union and was severely
wounded in battle. He made many
speeches in Minnesota in 1867 favor
ing the State Constitutional Amend
ment granting manhood suffrage. He
has in all public and private capacities
shown spirit of fairness toward the
cOlored race, and a keen interest in its
advancement.
From 1897 to 1908 he was Auditor
for the Post Office Department at
Washington. Among the 800 employ
es under him were 100 colored men
and women holding all positions from
Chief Of Division downward to mes
sensers and laborers. 1t is the uni
versal testimony that no bureau officer
ment with more justice and consider
alton.
When Captain Castle resigned many
Of his subordinates sent him voluntary
expressions of their regret Among
these letters was one from DR.. Geo. H.
Richardson, for nearly 80 years Clerk
in the Office now in the highest grade.
Dr.. Richardson was, also, under Presl-
dent Mckinley, one Of the Trustees OF
Public Schools Of the District Of Colunl-
bia
From this letter we quote: GAS

been returned four times. 1t would
require a great deal Of space to at
tempt to enumerate the VARIOUS import
ant, beneficial results of Mr.. Stevens
labcrs in Congress, no other congress-
man from this district ever did so
much. Before going to Congress he
was an able, active worker in the Re-
publican ranks for many years, always
the same, genial, urbane, consistent
gentleman; and, he wears the same
size hat now that he did then. He
has always shown a heartfelt interest
for the Afro-American and for the past
six years he has had as his clerk, Fred
D. McCracken, which is very tangible,
ocular evidence that his heart is in
the right place.
Mr.. Stevens is a candidate for re-
nomination, he should be nominated
aEa if nonil1ted ne will surely be
elected; and, all who help him may
feel sure they are helping to keep Mr..
McCracken in his position.
Remember to vote for him On next
Tuesday.

Mrs. Thomas Lynch was picking let

afternoon. She went to her gate with
glass dish in her hand.
Just then lightning struck so close
by that her hand, touching the gate,
felt the shock. She found that her
fingers clasped the dish so tightly
that she could not put it down. Al
::er some hours a feeling of numbness
left her arm, her hand lost it's cramp,
and she could loose her hold on the

Next morning the arm became black
