Wide Range For Pierce County
Voters

day, Sept. 9th. No Democrat,
nominations have been filed, henc'
the strife will not be partisan one
but simply the choice among the Re
publicans of suitable persons to rep
resent the party at the Novembel
general election.
The following persons have filet
nomination papers for the primary
election:
For Member of the Assembly
Ferdinand Bahr of Spring Valley
William A. Kay of Martell, John F
Shaw of Ellsworth.
For County Clerk-Ole ]. Hohle.
For County Treasurer-Charles
Eastman of Ellsworth, Edward A
Powers of Trimbelle.
For Sheriff-Frank L. Baker Of
River Falls city, Charles E. Glass
of village of Ellsworth, Oluff Halls
of village of Ellsworth, Stores P,
Roatch of Hartland, Theodore
Tobias of village of Ellsworth.
For Clerk of Circuit Court Walter
E. Warren of village of Ellsworth.
For District Attorney-George
Thompson of village of Ellsworth.
For Register of Deeds-Fred A.
Magee of village of Spring Valley.
Ferdinand Bahr, candidate for
nomination for office of Member of
the Assembly, is a prominent citizen
of Spring Valley. He is president
of the Spring Valley Spoke, Heading
and Stave Company, which, under
his management is a success and
has added considerably to the pros
perity of that village. He repre-
sents the Stalwart branch of the Re-
publican party as interpreted by the
western people.
William A. Kay another candidate
for the same office has already
served in the office. He is a farmer
and represents that interest and is
Progressive Republican. He has
been quite active in The Assembly
and introduced quite a number of
bills at the last session.
John F. Shaw is the editor of the
Ellsworth Record, published at
Ellsworth Under his leadership
the paper hes, become a live member
of the newspaper coterie of Pierce
County. Mr.. Shaw belongs to the
Progressive part of the party, and
advocates it's doctrines in a consist
ent and assiduous manner.
For County Clerk o. ] Hohle, our
present genial and faithful County
Clerk has no opposition. The county
cannot afford to make any change
in the Office at present as Mr.. Hohle
has taken great pains to acquaint
himself with the intricate and per-
picking details which fall to the lot
of the tenant Of that office.
Two candidates are in the field
for County Treasurer. Charles
Eastman, formerly of Clifton, but
now residing in the village of Ellis
worth. Mr.. Eastman is at present
County Supervisor of Assessments,
in which Office he has shown dis
position to faithfulness, even in
small details. 1t is difficult posi-
ton to fill satisfactorily but Mr..
Eastman has met with an excellent
success in his work. If elected
Treasurer he will doubtless give the
same faithful attention 10 the duties
of the position that has marked his
course as Supervisor.
Edward A. Powers the other can
didate is better known in the more
eastern part of the county, than in
this vicinity. He is man of good
education and has had considerable
experience in teaching. In appear
ance he is pleasant and affable.
For Sheriff five gentlemen make
their bows to the public, asking the
favor of their votes at the primary.
Frank L. Baker of this city comes
before the people with a good record
as citizen. He has many friends
in the county and will doubtless
have a good vote from those who
know him.
Charles E. Glass of Ellsworth
who moved from this city several
years ago to become a denizen of
that flourishing village, has held the
Office of sheriff before this and
proved himself to be a faithful,
pains-taking and popular officer.
Oluff Halls needs little introduc-
tion to our readers. Having been
for many years connected with the
business house of Mr.. Jensen, and
more lately having held the Office OF
Game Warden. and more recently
that of sheriff he is too we'll known
IN the county at large to need an an
