Miss Ida NJ. Anderson.

For. years 1t has been the custom
In this county TO elect a lady as
county superintendent uf public In.
struction. After looking the field
over 1t was found that Miss Ida NJ.
Anderson, of Gibbonsville, was not
only the most available candidate,
but possessed many elements OF
strength which made her nomination
imperative. She is not only pro.
gressiye teacher, but is well known
throughout the county.
Miss Anderson Is a self.cducated
woman: that Is she secured her edu-
cation by her individual efforts. She
was born in this county In 1876, re-
ceiving her early education In the
public schools. From the time she
entered school work her ambition
and energies were directed towards
taking a special training course. BY
economy and hard work she secured
the necessary funds To enter the
state normal school of Illinois, at
Bloomington, and graduated In the
class OF 1905. This school, fol the
training OF teachers Is considered
among the best In the United States.
She not only has had the theoret-
ical training IN school work, but has
had the practical, and We doubt II
there is teacher In The county wh,
has the qualifications to so well d.
rect and encourage the teacher in hel
school work as has Miss Anderson.
She Is a woman OF high ideals. and Il
entirely wrapped up IN her work, ant
we predict that the public schools o.
this county will advance under hel
guidance as they never have before
She not only should receive the en-
tire vote of the party which placed
her In nomination, but should anS
will receive large vote from the op
position. We make this assertion be
cause she has wide and extende'
acquaintance over the county. SIN
is now teaching at what is known a
the Bridge school house.

Jesse n. lanssdori.

The name Of j. NJ. I.angsdnff, of
salmon, has become synonym Ia
the past eight years for conservative
and safe banking. 1t Is evident that
a man who viii look so carefully after
the affairs of the public. who trust
their interests To his care, will make
good county treasurer and the funds
of the county will be safe In his
hands. Mr.. Lanesdorf stands high
In this county as business man,
and the general feeling Is that he
viii make the most painstaking and
careful county treasurer the county
ever has had.
Mr.. .Langsdorf came TO this county
from Ogden some eight years ago and
engaged in the banking business.
None are better known OF stands
higher in the estimation OF the peo-
pie for his business habits and excel
lence of character. This nomination
comes to him unsolicited on his part,
but ii was the demand Of his party
that he accent the nomination and
place OF trust. He should not only
receive the solid vote OF his party
but should receive a large vote from
| the opposition.
