Republican Candidates.
A List Of Capable aud Cleau
Candidates for Public
Office.
There is no good reason this
year for any republican to re.
fuse to support the republican
ticket from top to bottom, the
personnel Of the candidates is all
that could oe asked for, and
there are on the ticket men from
what has been heretofore differ
ent factions in the party. There
are no grounds for any factional
spirit as the party faces it's po-
lltical opponents, as every man
in the republican column is wor-
thy OF the support and full vote
OF the party from, that OF
the judicial candidate, Judge
Bouck of this city, 20 coroner
and county com missioner.
On the legislative ticket G. s.
Amsden has no opposition for
state senator, but the two repre-
sentatives, J. r. Birch OF Auams
township and 0. r. Olson OF
Blooming VBlley, have democrat
ic candidates pit:ed against them
in the persons of A. E. Stevenson
AMI G. K. Mogen. Mr.. Olson is
one OF the prominent and success
ful farmers of the west part of
the county and it is generally
conceded will make an able re-
preventative.
Mr.. Birch is q candidate for
reelection to the legislature,
having served the people of
Grant county in q most accept
able manner in the last legisla-
ture. Mr.. Birch in the legisla-
ture two years ago secured the
passage of q bill clearly defining
what constitutes q freeholder in
cases of petitions for liquor Ii
censes, q just and necessary
measure; but for this he has re-
ceived the criticism and opposi-
tion OF some of those who be.
believe in having eas, and cheap
opportunities for liquor licens-
ing and who are opposed to re-
strictive laws along these lines.
Mr.. Birch should receive the
united support of all who believe
that the liquor business should
be held within strict bounds,
as q public policy, and his action
in the legislature should be en-
dorsed bv reelection.
The only opposition to any of
the republican candidates on the
county ticket is that for sheriff,
and the county commissioners.

salts factory manner, and will
make an efficient and cap able
sheriff
For county com missioner Of
the first district Mr.. G. II. STEM
gel. the republican candidate is
opposed by George Mitchell on
the democratic ticket. Mr.. Stem
gel is one Of the most successful
and prosperous farmers of Mel
rose township; that he is 9 man
Of good business judgment and
foresight is evidenced by the sue
cessful manner in which he has
conducted his private business,
and if elected to the responsible
office Of county com missioner
he will undoubtedly bring to his
official duties the same good
business judgment that b q 8
marked his private life. The
nomination to the office came
without solicitation or self-seek-
ing on the part Of Mr.. Stengel,
and he naturally feels thet he is
entitled to and will receive the
full republican support.
The republican candidate in
in the second commissioner dis
trict is G. A. Berg who is engag-
ed IN the hardware business at
Stockholm; he is 8 thoroughly
