To THE VOTERS OF VERNON COUNTY:

part in politics, have never asked fer
any Office, and never held any office
but assessor and justice of the peace.
took it all as a joke, but since the
primary election so many of my friends
all over the county, irrespective of
party affiliations, have urged and in
sisted on me still being a candidate and
make an effort to be elected, that |
will say this much: know nothing
about campaigning; and don't know
that ! have any special qualifications
that fit me for the Office. There is no
political party or person that owes me

free to support the candidate that |

interested parties, and this might be
the better way if you want to get an
unbiased opinion. | have never done
anything directly against the interests
of the county; and will have no plums
to hand out to anyone.
Under these conditions if you think
me worthy of your support, | am at
your service as a candidate, and, if

the interests of the county, without

A Good Position

Can be hand by ambitious young men
and ladies in the field of wireless" or
railway telegraphy. Since the 8-hour

Positions pay beginners from $40 to 500
per month, with good chance of adj
vancement. The National Telegraph
Institute operates six official Institutes
in America, under supervision of raj

nomenaf success of the La Crosse nor

this fall and has also be, n called upon
for three graduates to teach in La
