portance that this county does its
share in making the selection of Judge
Cowan as large as possible We feel
that there is not the least particle of
doubt but that he will be elected. He
demonstrated at the primary election
how well he stood with the voters of
tic district. Mr.. Cowan is man who
gets close to the people of the district.
One person to Mr.. Cowan is no better
th::l an other. He has no favorites,
but is ready to meet anyone on the
level. He Is man who Is fearless in
the discharge of his duty, and is just
and honorable in all his business
transactions. Ramsey county should
do its part in making his election the
strongest in its history.
Fred A. Baker as candidate for the
office Of state senator is the right maa
In the right place. MIR. Baker came
here in the early days and has grown
up with the county. He has been very
successful in business, and has held
several offices of trut at the hands of
the people of this county, all of whic4
have been a credit to himself and the
county. Mr.. Baker held the Office of
county commissioner and was one of
the best members ever on the board.
He is now finishing term as county
treasurer. His administration of the
affairs of that Office have been such
as to commend him to the voters for
the advancement that he now seeks.
Mr.. Baker, by his long residence in the
state and his intimacy with the condi-
tions and needs of the state and its
people is eminently fitted for the Of
flee Of senator, and should receive the
votes of everyone.
The republicans present as candi-
dates for the Office of representatives
to the state legislature, Bernt Ander-
son Of Churchs Ferry, John A. Honey
Of Edmore, and r. J. Traynor of Devils
Lake. The selection Of these candi-
dates was very fortunate. While they
are all gentlemen Of exceptional abil-
ity, there is also the advantage Of hav-
ing them COME from various parts of
the county. They were selected by the
primary and all received the selection
by large enough vote to leave no doubt
but they were the choice of the peo-
pie. Give them the support of your
ballot next Tuesday. j. s:.........
Fl Ray Bice lis the one for whom
you should cast your ballot for the
Office of county auditor. Mr.. Bice is
now and has been for several years,
deputy in this office and is thoroughly
familiar with every detail of the Office.
He is young man of excellent quail
fications and ability. At the primary
election Mr.. Bice received the nomina-
tion by such a fiattering vote that it
seems that he will prove to be one of
the leaders in the list of majorities
next Tuesday. This is no more than
he deserves. With Ray in this Office
it can be confidently expected that the
excellent administration that the peo-
/ pie of this county have received
through Mr.. Eich, will be continued,
as Ray was in reality a great part of
the machinery, that has made Mr..
Eich's administration so successful.
Cast your vote for Bice and help swell
the majority. II. :. =.
) As candidate for sheriff, George
McLean&is an admirable choice. Mr..
Mclean has lived in Ramsey county
for many years and is well acquainted
with d large percentage of the voters.
He is a man !: who, will give
the county an a ministration Of that
office which will; be credit to HIM
SELF and his constituency. Mr.. Mclean
was nominated by the people of the
county from among several Of our best
citizens, and the fact that he won in
the primary Is evidence that the peo-
pie pf the county have explicit conf
;dence In him as the proper man for
this position. The democrats 4 are
waging d hot campaign against Mr..
Mclean and If they can succeed In
defeating him they win consider # as
q great victory, but when they buckle
up against d job Of that character they
have tackled "a difacult task indeed.

party and it is the duty

with his ballot, but By his personal il,
