MAT J. BROWN.

1t is perhaps unnecessary to say any,
thing about Mat ]. Brown, republican
candidate for commissioner for the
south district, one of the best known
republicans and business men in this
part of the state. Mr.. Brown has done
more perhaps for the upbuilding of
Lake county's diversified interests, as
far as they are related to the board of
county commissioners, than any other
official. In roads, public buildings,
bridges, not in one part of Lake coun-
ty, but in all, has Mr.. Brown helped
to make improvements that next to
Marion. have made Lake county one
Of the leaders in the state. He is de-
serving of reelection for what he has
done and in order to carry out the
plans which the present board has
under way. Mr. Browns sincerity and
honesty have never been questioned
and never have his motives been i'm
pugned. He is the only farmer on the
ticket and will get their support solid.

He graduated from the high school
at Rochester. Ind, in June, 1881, and in
fall of the same year entered Heidel-
berg university, at Tifffn, o., from
which institution he graduated in 1886.
After studying law for three years. he
was admitted to the bar and began the
practice of law at Rochester, Ind, and
was Immediately selected as attorney
for that city, which position he held
until he took up his residence in Ham
mond, Aug. 16, 1893.
He was city attorney for Hammond
for two years. during which time, by
his careful attention to the, legal af-
fairs of the city, thousands of dollars
were saved to the taxpayers.
During his years of practice of the
law, Judge Reiter acquired a most
splendid clientage and won a reputa-
ton for honesty and fair dealing I'M
excelled by any member of the bar
of Lake county.
BY the solicitation of a large ma
jority of the LAWYERS of Lake county,
he was appointed judge of the superior
court to fill the vacancy occasioned by
the change in the superior court ju-
dicial district, which made Lake coun-
ty a separate superior court circuit. He
assumed his duties as Judge Aug. list,

work, coupled with his honest meth
DDS and fair mindedness, he has estab-
| lished a reputation any man should be
proud of
During the year that he has served
on the bench. more than eight hundred
civil cases have been disposed of, in
addition to a large number of criminal,
probate and miscellaneous matters. 1t

state of Indiana has such record for

Edward HarriEan.

Edward Harrigan, the veteran actor
and playwright. was born in New York
City, october 26. 1S45, and received his
education in the public schools of that
city. Early in life he adopted a stage
career and before he was % years old
he had won considerable fame as

in his early career he was a favorite

and then he entered upon his career as
an or-rnanager in the metropolis.

JAMES E. WATSON.

Hon James f. Watson, candidate for
governor of Indiana on the republican
ticket, is one of the most popular men
in public life, not only in Indiana but
in the United States, and If he is elect
ed governor of Indiana will make one
of the best who ever held that high
executive position. Mr.. Watson's con-
gressional record is one that he can
point to with consumnate pride. AS
whip of the house of representatives,
he made an enviable record there and
it was due to this record that he was
enabled to win the nomination for
governor over such brilliant republic
ans as Hugh TIL. Miller, VIM. A. Taylor
and Charles Miller. Mr.. Watson has
made the longest and the most ardu-
Gus campaign in Indiana that any can
didate ever made. He has been bitter
ly assailed by the brewery trust They
have heaped calumny on his head and
are using the most desperate and un-
heard of efforts to defeat him. He
stands for county option and clean
administration of state affairs. He has
visited Lake county often enough to
be idolized by the people and his ma
jority in the county will be a remark
able one.
