THOSE CHOSEN TO SERVE
TIE PEOPLE
Republican Candidates Nominated at the
Primary Election

| Changes in the personnel of the re-
publican county ticket are so few that
| there is no room to speculate as to
what service the people will have when
| the new officials assume their respective
stations on the first Monday of next
January. The changes will be but two
Martin Root and Fred r. Gohde,
sheriff and coroner, respectively. There
have been no instances in the history
of the county when as few changes
have been made by administrations sue
ceeding each other. Practically the
same faces will be visible and the IA
miiar greetings extended to business
and official callers at the court house.
II may, with truthfulness be said, that
Vernon county has competent, obhg-
ing and faithful set of officials. They
are familiar with the details of their
duties and public business.
As deputy and principal Berlie Moore
has seen eight years of service in the
position of county clerk, and the two
years before him will round out an even
decade of efficient work.
Register Mork had ten years engage
ment as principal and assistant and his
new lease will give him an even dozen
of twelve month periods, all faithfully
discharged.
Henry C. Costing, too, will have oc-
eupied the official station of clerk of
court for twelve years when his future
term Is concluded There were some
years of intervals, however, in his, ca
reer as court clerk. He is the only old
soldier serving the county in any capa-
city except the three members of the
soldiers relief commission, Messrs.
Vance, Gathers and Wise.
Mr.. OLDER has been county surveyor
for years and he will embark on new
two-year term next January.
Except an interval of one term, j.
Henry Bennett has been prosecuting
attorney for ten consecutive years, and
the two years to come will even up his
record to the dozen mark on a level
with Gosling and Morl. Few young
attorneys have made better records
anywhere as vigorous and prompt
prosecutors and legal advisors of q
county.
Henry Rentz is closing a term of
most acceptable service as the county's
financial custodian, giving careful and
honest attention to the duties of coun-
ty treasurer. He, like Register Mork,
was fortunate in having no contest at
the late primary.
The republican nominee for sheriff is
one of the most substantial farmers in
the county, prudent, Woodworking
citizen of the town of Jefferson, where
he has a model farm in point of fertili-
ty, neatness and well-kept buildings.
Mr. Root has served his town on the
county board for a number of conseeu-
tive years and is judicious and care
full man and official. He will make the
county a vigilant sheriff.
Fred Gohde, the young coroner to-be,
will follow in the footsteps of pioneer
of Vernon county; one who has been
coroner since the crow winged west
ward. Mr.. Gohde is an undertaken; a
particularly significant coincident when
we remember that it is duty incum-
bent on the coroner to biennially lay
away in silent slumber the corpse of
the democracy of Vernon county.
The legislative nominee Mr. Law
renee Grimsrud, is young lawyer who
ought to make the people a creditable
representative He was born in the
county and will therefore be familiar
with the demands of constituents. His
county board experience will have fit
ted him to an extent for the wider
field of opportunity in legislative halls.
AS whole the republican nominees
of the county are men of ability and
character and the CENSOR is certain
that it will be their purpose to render
good account of their stewardship.
