Editorial in Highland Press, Oct "a,
1919 OF the any good candidates on
the Democratic county ticket this year,
the Press desires to call the voters at
tentiou TO our friend MIR. John Gorgen,
of Mineral Point, who is striving for
the Office Of treasurer
We are sure that it was with great
reluctance that Mr. Gorgen consented
10 yield to his friends who proposed his
name for this office, He never sought
office. Honors which have come 10
him in his home city were thrust upon
him in the same manner as his treasur.
ersh,p was bestowed For great
many years, Mr., Gorgen has been an
influential and progressive citizen, and
has all the qualities necessary for the
office to which he aSpires. In other
words, Mr.. Gorgen is an ideal man for
custodian Of the funds Of this garden
spot in Wisconsin He is man of
mature years; we'll versed in the essen,
tials TO properly discharge the duties

and man every voter i'll the county
will be glad to chat with should he he
chosen to be the guardian OF the peo-
Pies money,
John Gorgen was reared ON farm
near Jonesdale. this county, some sixty
| years ago, and knows what hard work
| is When twenty years old he met
with an accident which nearly cost
him his life The story of the accident
WAS told at the time, forty years ago,
and the wonder is that the man is alive
to day, much less running for office.
| We here repeat the story, taking
chance ON being criticized by Mr., Gor-
gen, who would not under any circum.
stances arouse curiosity and sympathy
to his advantage as he has time and
again stated to friends that he con.
demned the practice OF candidates APP
pealing to voters on the strength OF
some physical deformity.
| In early days threshing was done by
horse power, rs many Of our readers
well know. One man drove the horses,
another oiled the separator, and another
fed the grain to the machine. 1t hap
pened that the work ofoiling the separ'
ator was given to young Gorgen. While
in the performance of his duties at
threshing, Johns Jacket some way
caught In the knuckle pin of the
separator and in an instant his body
was being hurled around the tumhling
rod When the horses were stopped,
John was extrioated for dead, His
clothing was all torn oil of him, his
left arm was fractured in three places
! and the flesh shorn to the bone, and
j he had numerous cuts on his head.
/ Doctors declared his arm had TO be
amputated to save his life. to which his
! father strenuously objected, His arm
was saved. fortunately, but for years
! it was no use to him, He WAS sent to
school, and later took II job at clerking,
/ but the arm was not thoroughly healed
until he arrived at the age of forty
years And he has had to favor that
arm ever since,
Such an incident cannot be related of
many. Through it all John Gorgen
plodded along and met life's battles aud
won. He * respected wherever known.
