is the man for auditor.
JOHN KRuSE
| John Kruse, candidate for county
recorder, is; resident of West Side
Iowa, in which locality he has lived
for many years. He was farmer for
q number Of years near West Side, but
of late years has retired from farm
work and now lives in the town OF
West Side.
He enjoys . wide acquaintance
among his neighbOrs, and is popular
not only with his German acquaint.
ances. but with ull nationalities. 1t
may be truthfully said of him that ev-
cry person who knows him is his
friend, and he will poll very large
vote in the eastern part OF the county,
where he is best known.
He is a careful, painstaking man,
possessed of more than ordinary cler,
zeal ability which qualities him for the
discharge Of the duties OF county
recorder.
There is no more important office
in the county than that of county re-
cOrder because it has to deal with
titles to all the lands in the county.
Accuracy, care and absolute precision
are essential to the safe discharge of
the duties of this office. People de-
pie depend upon the record OF their
Instruments for their titles in many
Instances and especially where deeds
OF conveyance are lost or mislaid.
This being true, 1t becomes of great
Importance to know that the records
as kept are absolutely correct. With
such man as MIR. Kruse in the Office
no doubt can be entertained but what
the duties of the Office will be dis
charged in a highly satisfactory man
ner.
ALBERT HELSLEY
Next in order we mention Albert
Helsley, who was nominated at the
late republican convention for clerk
of the courts.
Mr. Helsley is so well and favor
ably known that eulogy upon his life
and character is hardly necessary to
recommend him to those who enjoy
his acquaintance.
He is of Swiss parentage and comes
from a family of prominence in Switz-
erland. He was born Nov. 10, 1857.
years of age came to Iowa and his ed
ucation was gained in this state.
Mr. Helsley has proved himself in
the public positions which he has held
in the past. For several years he was
member OF the city council, and
Denison never had more conscien-
tious and capable member of its coun-
Gil than Mr.. Helsley. For several
years he has been a member OF the
school hoard, which position he still
holds and for the very good reason
that the voters Of Denison believe that
his judgment and interest in the pub
lie schools are such as to make him
valuable member of the school board.
For several years he has been devot-
ing most of his time to abstract work
and is one OF the best abstractOrs in
Iowa. Not only does he perform, III
a first class manner, the clerical part
of the work OF the abstract0r. but his
knowledge of the law and his opinion
of titles is equal to that of the trained
lawyer on the subject Of abstracts.
His education has been such, as one
can readily see, to fit him for the work
of clerk of the courts. He would be
able to bring to bear upon his work
the vast experience he has had IN
the records in his work as
The people are to be congratulated
when such men as Albert Helsley con
sent to become candidates for Offices
OF this character. We predict that ii
Mr.. Helsley is elected to this office
that he will make splendid record
in the discharge OF his duties.
