Twice-a-week plain dealer. (Cresco, Howard County, Iowa) 1895-1913, 1910-05-10
County Primary Nominations.

SATURDAY, the 18th, was the last Gay
for filing nominations for county Of
fees to secure place on the primary
ballot and neither ticket is complete,
the republicans having three vacancies
and the democrats four, all of which
will probably be filled for the general
election. The republicans will have a
contest only on one office, that of re-
corder, condition rather new to the
republicans of Howard county and
due undoubtedly to the fact that no
longer is a nomination on the republi-
can ticket equivalent to an election.
The republican filings are as follows:
Recorder, w. B. Davis of Cresco and
P. j. Anderson of Lime Springs; treas
urer, A. l.. White of Cresco; auditor,
J. H. Jones; clerk, F. C. Blandin; cor
oner, DR.. H. w. Plummer of Lime
Springs; sheriff, S. S. Culver; survey
or, w. L. Richards
The democrats filing are as follows:
Representative, Hermann kulI of New
Oregon recorder, Ed L. Weaken of
Cresco; treasurer, w. F. Carter of
Chester; attorney. Joseph Griffin; SUI
perintendent, Miss Emma Fallgatter
of Elma; sheriff, Marley PEGGY of
Cresco.
The democrats present good list Of
candidates for the consideration of the
voters of the county.
The nominee for representative. Her.
mann Kull, has served two terms in
the General Assembly with credit to
himself and to the county. His candi-
dacy at this time is not due to his per-
sonal desire, but he reluctantly con-
scented to allow the use of his name for
a denomination only at the urgent
solicitation of personal friends in both
parties. That the republicans failed to
secure candidate for representative
is proof of Mr.. Kull's popularity and
his great ability as a vote getter. That
he will represent Howard county in the
next General Assembly is assured.
For recorder, Ed L. Weaken will try
for the Office now occupied by demo-
crat, w. F. Scholz, who steps aside
that another democrat may receive the
reward of party fealty. Mr.. Weaken
is now in charge of the clothing de-
partment Of the Cresco Department
Store, is competent and accommodate
ing, will make good campaign and a
good official.
w. F. Carter, of Chester, who filed
for the treasurership, did SO in res
ponse to the request of many friends
throughout the county who were proud
Of his run of two years ago for county
clerk, which was badly handicapped by
family illness which prevented the can
vass he intended to make and which
would have undoubtedly made him a
winner.
Joseph Griffin for county attorney
and Miss Emma Fallgatter for super
intendent are two officials who have so
well discharged the duties of their Of
fees that no one could be induced to
file for these offices for the republican
primary. The vacancies may be filled
at the primary election but the opposi-
ton to the present incumbents will be
but perfunctory and with but remote
possibility of success.
Marley Pec,y, for sheriff, completes
the list of the democratic nominees.
He is a young man with excellent quail
ifications for the position to which he
aspires. He has the physical courage
needed and also possesses the tact nee
essary to perform the many disagree
able duties of the Office quietly and
with the smallest degree of friction.
Filings have also been made for SUI
pervisors and township Offices but as
the time for filing for offices in the
subdivisions of county does not ex-
pire until May 22d, we will wait until
that time and publish the complete list.
