c. a. Marble is admirably Fitted
For Office of County Treasurer

No candidate on the Republican
county ticket is more capable and bet

aspires than Charles A. Marble. Ex-
ceiling in mathematics and arithmetic
during the entire period of his school
days, and later inventing an interest
computing machine which has been
recognized of worth by securing a
patent thereon, Mr.. Marble is admir-
ably equipped for the position of
county treasurer, and If for no other
reason than his excellent qualifica-
tions, he Is deserving of the favorable
consideration Of Wapello county vot-
ers. Mr.. Marble was born in Geneva,
Wis, March 20, 1868, and moved to
this state with his parents in 1865, To-
eating near Leon in Wayne county,
where his father was employed as a

later was employed as q bookkeeper

Ottumwa in 1898, Mr. Marble engaged
in the grocery business, corner of

tinued In that capacity until 1902,
when he disposed of the business and
followed the occupation of contractor
and builder. In the fall of 1905 he pur-

Experience Not Lacking in
Clerk Candidate EdVin DUNCAN

Actual experience in the office OF
clerk OF the district court and long
personal association with business
lines characterize Edwin DUNCAN
Republican candidate for the office OF
clerk. That he is well fitted for the
Office of clerk to the district court IS
emphasized by the extensive exper-
fence he has had MI. DUNCAN was
born in Frankfort Springs, Penn,
November IL, 1S49, and came to this
state in 1856, locating at Knoxville.
He attended school in that place ana
later removed to Charlton where ne
again received some schooling, and
he was one of the students who at
tended the opening term of the Ames
Agricultural college. For period or
five years, Mr.. DUNCAN was associated
with one of the prominent banks at
Charlton. Mr.. DUNCAN removed TO
Ottumwa in the month of January,
1880 and after a short time spent In
a wholesale dry goods store, he en-
gagged in the retail grocery business
until the establishment was burned
out in 1902. Mr.. DUNCAN was
deputy clerk under Clerk H. w. Mich
ael during his second term, and in
1904 was elected to the office and
served in very satisfactory manner
until 1906, when with the balance of
the Republican ticket, he was defeat
ed.
The citizens of Wapello county UNI
disputedly demonstrated their favor
itism for Mr. DUNCAN in the election
of 1904, when they gave him vote Of
2,295 majority over his Democratic op-
ponent. This vote lead the entire
ticket and in the first ward of Ottum-
wa, where 404 votes were cast for
Mr.. DUNCAN, it established a record
for the highest vote cast that election
