nomination for Circuit Clerk and
Ex-Oficio Recorder of Iron coun-

him a higher place in their estima-

enjoys. He is true blue, stralght-
forward, never wagering, never
falering. Just the kind of a man

We this week print the forms al
announcement of Walter l.. Hens
ley of st. Francois county, as a
candidate for the Democratic nom

ley is a good, clean man, able and
conscientious, and we have nc
hesitancy in saying, that if he is
nominated and elected, he will
prove as efficient and faithful q
Congressman as the district ever
had. He is unusually popular
among the people of his own coun'

more votes among the wage earn

else. He respectfully requests due
consideration of his claims at the
hands of the Iron county Democ-
racy.
