A Good Lot of Men are These

Under the primary election law the
republicans of Vernon county nominated
full ticket. These nominees were not
picked out by delegates or committees
TO I'LL place, but were first called by
voters who signed their nomination
papers and after full and fair cam
paign of sufficient length to give voters
a good chance to know their merits and
dement's they were each nominated by
the voters to their respective places on
the ticket. If there were good reasons
for not nominating or electing any one
Of them there was every opportunity to
know of them during the primary cam
paign. All of them have stood inspec-
ton and deserve party support.
The republican ticket is well balanced
as to location and otherwise, and the
men named for the several places are
competent to perform the duties. Most
of them have been tested in the scale
of experience and proved their efficiency.
THE COUNTY cLERKsHIP.
There is no position in the county
that requires larger capacity and good
executive and clerical ability than in
this. Berlie Moore has had "a term s
experience as head of the department
and performed the duties of the office
as deputy for four years previous. His
denomination was a fitting recognition
of his efficient service in that exacting
place. He will have rousing majority
for second term.
CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF
To make good sheriff it requires a
man of mature years, good physique
and well equipped to handle men and
work out intricate problems in the APP
prehension of criminals. He should
also be man of even temperament and
able to size up men and matters quickly
and with accurate judgment. These
requisites we believe the republican
nominee possesses. If entrusted with
the affairs of the office Mr.. Helgeson' s
friends are sure he will perform them
faithfully, promptly and honestly. Mr..
Helgeson is a native of the town of
Sterling, where he has always lived.
He was brought up on a farm. For a
few years past lie has conducted a mer-
camille business at Purdy, where he is
popular as a tradesman and citizen.
Mr.. Helgeson has always been loyal
working republican, assisting in every
legitimate way possible the candidates
of his party. He deserves like treat
ment.
REGISTER OF DEEDS
1t is one of che most essential mat
t3rs in the history of a county to have
its public records well made and prop
eriy preserved. The security of prop

erty rights is safer to higher degree
when records are intelhgently compiled.
In the register of deed's Office this
work is handled. II is a well estab-
llshed fact that Vernon county has sell
dom If ever had a more capable. pains
taking official than Thomas o. Mork
has proven IN the past. He is quick,
accurate and accommodating, as proven
by four years as register and two terms
deputy. Mr.. Mork was nominated over
popular field of candidates and viii
receive warm support at the polls.
HENRY c. COSTING FOR CLERs. OF COURT.
Hen Costing is the only old soldier
on the county ticket, and at the rate
the odd boys" are passing he is very
| liable 10 be the last one to serve Yer
non county in a like official capacity.
Mr.. Costing belonged to one of the
early pioneer families of this section.
He has been sheriff, served three terms,
some years ago, in the position he is
now renominated to fill. Mr.. Costing
deserves well at the hands of his fellow
/ citizens.
NEW MAN FOR TREASURER.
The nominee for county treasurer is
among the younger generatio.. of men
and comparatively new in politics. Mr..
Henry Rentz, the candidate, is a native
Eof the town of Jefferson, where he has
| lived all his life. He is we'll educated
and competent in every respect to give
/ the people excellent service in the
treasury department. HE'S honest and
upright. Mr.. Rentz graduated from
the high school and has had a training
at business college and at the agricul-
tural department of the university.
DISTRICT ATToRNEYsHIP IN GOOD HANDS.
| Among the young districts attorneys
of the state Vernon county is conceded
| to be in the front rank. j. Henry Ben
nett, who is nominated for fifth term,
/ is practitioner and prosecuting officer
who does things. He is ever alert to
| the duties of his office and looking after
| the county s interest. Vernon has never
had more vigorous county attorney.
The people appreciate a servaht who
performs his duty well and promptly.
FOR COUNTY SURVEYOR
Mr.. Edward J. Older, the party can
didate for surveyor, is an old hand at
the work, having served several terms
in the position. He is ever ready to
respond to call for service.
KNOWS HIS BUSINESS.
1t is as important to have knowing
coroner as wise president. William
H. Taft at the head of the republican
ticket and Warren w. Dunlap to close
up the rear, gives assurance that its a
clcsn sweep all along the line.

LAST WORD TO THE VOTERS

Mr.. Helgeson is being opposed by
certain individuals for no substantial
reason. In the first place he is
Norweg ian-American citizen and Is
engaged in business as country
merchant at Pnrdy, In the western
section OF the c0uuty. That section
has large Republican majority and
has had no county official for many
years, save Mr., Gauper supervisor OF
assessments, some years ago. That
position is now held by Henry Linkc,
OF HiIlsboro, capable official MIR.
Moore, the present county clerk,
comes from the town of Forest and
still claims that town as his home.
Mr., Mains, until elected to county
office, always lived in Clinton With
his election as clerk of the court he
removed to NlroQua, In the last
dozen years the east or Il, as IL is
called, has been well C.tIed for with
the county offices while ne west has
had absolutely nothing, For instance
the extreme eastern section, Green
wood, WAS represented by William
Brandon, who was county clerk four
years. Then Hillsboro town was
given the county clerkship, the po-
sition being held by Ion Sherman
Tor four years. The east was again
given the county Cicrkship and
Jimmy Marshall became ccdnty
clerk for four years, Mir, Marshall
when elected lived in Forest. His
deputy, Mir. Moore, also of Forest,
has held the position TOR two wears
and has been nominated again as {.
resident of Forest for another term.
The east has also had the district
attorneyship Four years ago MIR
Harkin, of Hilisboro village. was
elected and held the office Tor TIVE
years. Mlthin the time stated STARK
and Whitestown were both represent
ed MIR. " bite, of WhitestoWu, ans

AN INTERESTING AND
HcvEr POLITICAL soAffk

A poster is being distributed about
the state that is unique in a political
way. The head line in bold type is
Read This Before You Vote.
IL presents no mans picture and
points the promises and good points OF
no candidate But it does print out in
very forcefuI way the Importance OF
the good roads amendment to our state
constitution.
ne good roads association is an or
ganizatlon with the sole purpose OF
gushing the cause of better road in
Wisconsin. Realizing that ours is the
last state TO have a constitutional
provision forbidding the state to aid
the farmers IN road building they are
DONG everything possible to present
the Importance of this amendment Ia
the voters.
The poster states that this amend.
ment IS not confined to only one partv.
but that progressive men of all parties
favor 1t. 1t states that resolutions
favoring the amendment have bser
passed by the state organization of the
Equity society, the state grange. the
agricultural experiment station. arr
every other important state farmers
society. In s.ddition the state press
ASSOCIATION and the state rural carriers
association have passed resolutions
favoring it.
The difficulty with getting this amend
ment passed is that, like all amend.
ments, it attracts little attention. II
is at the bottom of long ballot, anc
after the voter has put crosses after
the names of all the men he wants tt
see elected, he is almost sure to fold ur
his ballot and hand it in. The voters
who vote straight ticket also fail tt
vote for the amendment.
