In selecting candidate for sheriff
this year the democrats chose a man
with two years experience in running
down wrong doors.
John Sell was born in Wood county
June a. 1869, where he lived for few
years. His parents removed to this
county in 1876, settling on a farm in
the town of Maine and about thirty
years ago they moved into the city,
where John has ever since resided. He
attended our city schools and received
a good common school education. Ever
since he was old enough he has bowed
his own row in the world and is there
fore capable OF meeting most any con-
tingency. When quite a young man
the people of his ward got into the
habit of electing him each year as either
alderman or supervisor and he served
his ward on the city council and county
board year after year until elected
comptroller of the city six years ago
which Office he held several years. He
later took position in the land depart
ment of the & ID. Land Co, which posi-
ton he gave up in January, 1906, to act
as undersheriff for Sheriff Frank O'Con-
nor. Mr.. Sell has always proved COM
petent in every position he has held and
the voters will make no mistake by
electing him sheriff.

Democratic candidate for district at
torney, is a native of West Bend, where
he was born Sept. Is, 1877. After being
graduated from the high school of his
home town, he entered the law school
of the University of Wisconsin and was
graduated in June, 1901. A little later
he came to Wausau and entered into
partnership with the late Carl Mueller.
This partnership was dissolved in 1908,
and the firm of Regner & Ringle re-
suited.
In 1906 the people of this county
honored Mr.. Regner by electing him
district attorney and he has filled the
Office with great credit. He has pros
ecuted important cases and as legal
advisor of the county board has saved
the county many dollars. In prosecut-
ing criminals he is aggressive and fearless
just such an attorney as is required
for the office.

democratic candidate for county clerk,
was born in the town of Hartford,
Washington county of German paren-
tage. He attended the public schools
of his native county and received a
good common school education. In
1884 he removed with his parents to
toe town of Mcmillan, this county,
settling on a farm. Farm work has
been his occupation ever since he
started out to blaze his own path in
this world and that he has succeeded
in this occupation is attested to by those
who know his circumstances. He ac-
CURED property of his own in 1890 and
has built up a fine farm of 100 acres,
through diligent toll. That his efforts
in this world are appreciated by his
fellow townsmen is shown by the fact
that he has been honored by several
town offices. He was elected to the
Office of justice of the peace in 1898 and
held Office until last spring. He was
a director on the school board of his
district for three years. In 1908 he was
elected to the county board and has
held Office continuously since. While
on the county board he has served on a
number of important committees, such
as the committee on equalization and
that of roads and bridges. These APP
pointments were made by republican
chairmen, showing that they had faith
in his capacity and intelligence. He
has also served on special committees,
such as that appointed to settle with
the county treasurer. Mr.. Lang was
one of the organizers of the Mcmillan
Grange Mutual Fire Insurance Co. in
1898, and has held the office of secretary
ever since. He is also one of those in
terested in the Consolidated Farm Co.
which is doing a wonderful work in
Marathon and Wood counties Mr..
Lang is a gentleman wherever you
meet him-well posted, competent and
careful-and if elected will administer
the affairs of his office on the same eco
nomic basis which has characterized
the management of his private affairs.

A Puzzle in Spelling.

According to Tennessee man there
was once a judge in the eastern Sec
ton of that state, man well versed
in law, but entirely self-educated, who
to contend with the principles of or
biography all his life. In early life
he had lived in Knoxville, and for a
long time he insisted upon spelling
the name knoxville.
Finally his friends educated him up
to the point of adding the K; so thor
Cughly, in fact, was the lesson learned
that when, in a few years afterward,
he removed to Nashville, nothing
could prevent him from spelling in
Knashville.
Then, some time later, the judge
moved again, this time to Murfrees-
boro. On the day that he began to
write his first letter from this place
he scratched his head in perplexity,
and finally exclaimed:
Il give it up! How on earth can
they spell the name of this place with
a 'K?"
