Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1906-09-05
THE TICKET.

l. uc tlCAct WulCit VIC ACpuuAACoAS
of Winneshiek county presents to the
public this fall is in every way worthy
Of the united support Of all the repub-
licans Of the county.
It is one Of the Strongest tickets
named in years, and the unanimity
with which each secured his nomina-
tion presages the same united support
at the polls in November.
The fact that DR.. P. M. Jewell
was nominated for Representative
without opposition is sufficient guar
antee of his popularity and fitness for
the position. He has lived in this
county great many years. is man OF
ability and good Judgment, and we
believe will endeavor to serve all the
people conscientiously and consistent
ly.
Mr.. l. Linnevold, the candidate for
Auditor, has in the past two years re-
tained the high regard in which he
has always been held, and has perform
ed the duties of his Office courte-
ously aud carefully, and his renomin-
alton without opposition is but the
reward of faithful service.
Mr.. S. E. Brickner's denomination
for CLERK Of the Court came without a
single objection and with the unani-
nous approval of all the people, for
he has proven himself competent,
careful and efficient official, and holds
the respect and esteem of all who
have had dealings with him.
If there is man in Winneshiek coun-
ty who feels unkindly toward Treasur-
er E. r. Haines we do not know it.
In the trying position of Treasurer he
has performed his duties with signal
credit to himself and the county, and
while he felt too modest to ask for
third nomination, yet there was a
unanimous demand for his reelection,
and no candidate opposed him in the
convention, so it may almost be said
that the nomination was forced upon
him.
Thos. J. Qualley comes ont of the
long contest for the nomination for
Sher iff with the party united behind
him. For three years past he has been
deputy sheriff, during which time he
has shown peculiar fitness for the pos
ition, and gained experience which
capot fail to be of much value to him.
He will NO. doubt make popular
and competent official.
Nearly everyone in Wineeshiek coun-
ty Isl acquainted with Mr.. E. J.
Hook. who was accorded the
signal honor of a fourth
nomination for County Superin-
tendent of Schools. During his incum-
bency in office he has raised the
standard of schools in this county very
materially, and gained such a hold
upon the people that when he consult.
ed them as to their desires with re-
spect to his being candidate again,
he found a general belief that this
office should be as far as possible re-
moved from politics, and that the new
school laws Of Iowa makes changes in
the school system which could be bet.

perintendent than by new man in
the Office, and that he ought to be re-
nominated.
Mr. w. M. Strand is another Of the
present county officers to be accorded
a denomination. He was born and
reared in Winnesbiek county and
since his nomination and electio II
two years ago has made marked de-
velopment and noticeable advance.
ment in his profession. The expert.
ence he has gained during his first
term cannot fail to be Of great advan.
tage to him, and he will be able in
the future to give the people of the
county even better and more efficient
service than in the past. He is an in
dustriOus, faithful and careful official,
and bears the reputation of making
no expense for the county in bringing
out cases, unless he feels fully justi.
fed in 90 doing.
The denomination of H. s. Stinson for
Recorder is but the reward for
faithful and competent per-
fOrmance of duty. He has
shown himself courteous and
obliging, competent and careful, and
has kept the records Of the county in
first class condition, consequently is
deserving Of and will no doubt be re-
elected by large majority.
For Coroner DR.. A. f. Bartoot is
the nominee. and he possesses all the
necessary qualifications. nerve, good
health, acquaintance. and the ability
to attend to such cases as he is called
upon in official capacity.
The nominee for Surveyor, #. E.
Cratsenberg. served by appointment in
this Office during last winter, resign.
ing to 20 west to complete a govern
ment contract in the spring. He is a
graduate of the International Cor
respondence School, young man of
ability and energy. and wilt make a
splendid Surveyor.
The different candidates for Super
visor are all men of character and high
standing in their respective districts.
each good business man, honest,
prudent and conscientious, and all of
them should receive the united sup.
port of the party. Mr.. o. g. Haugen
Of the first district. Mr.. !. B. Olson
OF the second, Mr.. Arthur Curtis Of
the third, Mr.. o. M. Selnes of the
fourth and Mr.. John Greer of the
fifth each holds the respect aud con.
f1dence of the community in which
he lives. and we hope viii be given
an indOrsement at the polls.
With such ticket. the republi.
