RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
E. A. Morse An Able. True Republican

We wish to call the attention of our
readers to the candidacy of Elmer A.
Morse, of Antigo, candidate for Con-
gress from this, the Tenth congression-
al district. We call attention to this
man who has not only made phenome-
nal race in his first great political ven-
ture, but who has exhibited qualities,
which convince the most skeptlcal, that
which in special sense, admirably
fits him for the place to which he as
pires. The fight which he made for
the nomination is past history, and is
not now to be considered, beyond the
fact of the manifestation of that met
tie. and the exhibition of those traits,
which auger well for that wider field
of public activity into which the cleo
ton of November 9Th will place him.
And it would not be fair in the making
of political history to overlook the fact
that in many respects the campaign
for the nomination was remarkable
one. Botn candidates were able men,
possessed of strong personal attach
ments, counting their friends by the
score, and both worthy of the position
they sought. One lost. the other won,
and when the smoke of the battle clear
ed away, there were no sore spots found
among the adherents of the two con
gressional candidates.
This statement is specially true OF
Marathon County 1t came very near
ly being a 'set off" between The two
candidates. and notwith-standin ng this
fact, when the vote in the district was
announced every republican in Mara
thon County became Morse man, not
passively. but with that same loyalty
and enthusiasm which always is fea-
ture of the republicanism of the geo.
graphical center of the state.
Loyalty to the ticket" in this part of
the district would be sufficient in it.
self to give him the election. But watch
ing his work and more carefully study
ing the man, that argument has been
relegated to the background, and the
candidate himself on account of his
personal worth and proven merit, will
become the recipient of the votes, glad
ly and proudly cast for him. There
are good reasons for this condition of
things. The personality of Mr.. Morse
is of an attractive type. He does not
repel men, but draws them to him.
Self reliant without the least symptom
of that egotism, so objectional in any
walk of life, but specially SO in pub
lie man, there comes the suggestion of
previous training in the school of
life, where dependence upon his own
efforts pointed the only way to success.
Not long has he been in the public
gaze, but long enough to prove him one
possessed with convictions, and courage
sufficient to back up such convictions.
young man in the very prime of life,
a student of legislation and economical
questions, with not the shadow of any
entangling alliances in his private,
public or commercial life, he enters up
ON public career, his future rich with
its possibilities. His speeches throuh-
out the district, have convinced his
hearers that be is right on public
questions, a man who can be trusted
and who will zealously and faithfully
guard the interests of his constituents.
These are some of the reasons why
the republicans Of Marathon County
are pleased with Mr.. Morse. Some of
the reasons why the election of No
vember 9th will give him a republican
majority in this county that will warm
his heart and demonstrate the wisdom
of sending such MAJ to represent
such district as the Tenth" even in
its ''bigness" in the national halls of
Congress. Wausau Daily Record.
