THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.


for Presidential election the Re-
publican ticket for 1908 has been
completed, and as a whole il meets
with our cordial approval. While
some of the candidates are not of
our choosing, they all represent Re-
publican principles, and as such
representative are entitled to the
united support of the Republican
party. If this were not true, party
ORG anization for the promotion of a
common cause involving political
principles would prove failure.
AS time passes, the wisdom dis
played by the Republican National
convention in, nominating William
Fl. Taft for President, and James S.
Sherman for Vice President, be-
comes more and more apparent.
The present State officers were
renominated, with the exception of
Lieutenant Governor w. D. Connor
and Commissioner of Insurance
George E. Beedle. Mr.. Conner was
not a candidate for denomination,
and John D. Strange of Oshkosh
was nominated to succeed him.
James E. Abbott of Madison was
nomin ated for Commissioner of In
surance to succeed Mr.. Beedle.
The ticket merits the approval
of Republican voters and should
be given an old-fashioned Republi-
can majority.
A majority of the Republicans in
this Congressional District voting
at the primary election having de-
cided that Hon. l. L. Lenroot, of
Superior, is the proper man to be-
come a Representative in Congress,
we bow to the will of that majority.
| That Mr.. Lenroot is hustler, no
one can question. Whenever he
wants anything he goes after it, and
that is the class of men who get to
the front in Congress as we'll as
elsewhere. 1t is just about now
that the people of the Eleventh
Congressional District cannot afford
to send a Democrat to the House
of Representatives.
Senator Walter c. Owen, and
Hon. William A. Kay, constitute
the Republican legislative ticket.
Mr.. Owen, for the Senate, was nom
mated without opposition, and Mr..
KAY was renominated for the
Assembly, a fact which may be ac-
cepted as an endorsement of his
course in the Legislature during the
last session.
The county ticket is an excellent
combination, and defeated candi-
dates can feel that they were beaten
by good men.
The nomination of Ole ]. Hohle
for county clerk, is we'll merited
endorsement of irst-class official,
and the same may be said of Theo-
dore Tobias, county treasurer.
James H. Gilmore, for sheriff, is an
excellent nomination, and he may
safely be depended upon to make
good. Walter E. Warren, nominee
for clerk of the circuit court, as
deputy in that Office, has become
thoroughly familiar with the duties
of clerk and will make competent
official. George Thompson, pres
ent district attorney, was renomin-
ated without opposition, his fitness
for the office thus being again at
tested. Fred Magee, for register OF
deeds, is vouched for by those who
know him best as one who will
make competent successor to Mr.
Walsingham who is conceded to be
both prompt and efficient.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OPEN.
Largest Attendance In Their
History.

Last MONDAY morning the puDllC
schools of the city began their years
work. When the roll was called at
9 o'clock, twenty more pupils re-
sponded in the grades below the
high school than at the same time
last year. Two or three of the
rooms are full to OVERLOOKING. The
others are just moderately filled,
though above the average. The
high school, too, shows an increase
over last year, there being Ito en-
rolled as against los last year. True
to it's traditions, the boys outnum-
Der the girls at the high school,
there being 81 boys and 48 girls.
Not only is the school the largest in
it's history, but the senior class
takes the banner for size. While it
is too early to say how many will
graduate, "a have entered for the
honor, % of them being boys. AL
lowing for all failures, there should
still be the largest class in the
history of the school, easily larger
than the class of 1908 which took
the record this year with q. The
high school boys are already begin
ming to talk foot ball. Last years
team is back almost entirely, and
the school will start the year with a
squad of "a, of whom at least Is are
veterans of inter scholastic contests.
If the school ever had a team, it
ought to have one this year.
Prof. Robert r. Reed left last
week for Winona, Mimi, where he
has the principalship of the High
School for the coming year. Prof.
Reed was chosen at special meet
ing of the school board and
| though there were thirty applicants
he received a unanimous election.
THE Winona Independent" (Sept.
LIST. } has the following 10 say re-
garding the newly elected principals:
prof. Reed is a graduate of the
University of Minnesota and Harv-
ard and is in every way we'll fitted to
take the responsibilities of the posi-
ton. The task which he has in
hand is no light one. He is in the
city and began his duties yesterday
noon. The new principal is total
stranger here but the way in which
he took hold of the work at the
High school teachers meeting yes
terday afternoon was a revelation.
All of the fifteen teachers were
strangers to him but he had a grasp
of the work before him by which he
reached the very bottom of every
problem which came up. He will
be here to-day and will take charge
of the work from the very beginning
although the very first insight he
had into it was yesterday after his
election. Supt. Frazier stated that
he had every confidence in Prof.
Reed and he as we'll as the board
feel that, in spite of the difficult
situation which he is facing, he is
abundantly able to do the work with
credit to himself.

JAIL DELIVERY.
Four Prisoners Escape from the County
Jail Saturday.

Four Prisoners Escape from the County
Jail Saturday.
Sometime between Z and y:4O Satur-
day evening, W. R. Ward, Geo. Lewis,
Robt. Page and B. F. Eldridge, of
Edgemont, whoNhave been confined in
the county Jail for the past month on
the charge of breaking into the B. g.
M. depot at Edgemont, escaped.
Sheriff Clark brought them their
supper about O'clock and left them
as usual. About 7:4O Ed. telephoned
for hack for his wife to 90 to lodge
and looking at his watch, found it was
$40. He went at once to remove the
supper dishes from the Jail. To his
great surprise he found both of the
Jail doors unlocked and the four
prisoners gone. How they managed
to make a key to fit both doors and
get out so smoothly is more than Ed.
can figure out.
About $50 Monday morning Fred
Worden saw and spoke to three men
in his corral at Cleaver's old ranch
whose description closely answered
that of the escaped prisoners and later
Jim Dornan and Charlie Eastman
trailed three men up Dudley canyon,
whom they were pretty sure were the
men wanted but the trail played out
since which time no track can be
found.
Sheriff Clark has offered $50 reward
for the detention of all four men or
the detention of any one will secure
the sum of s25.
