D. G. CLASSON MAKES FORMAL
ANNOUNCEMENT
Republican Candidate for Congress
Receiving Much Encouragement
from Several Counties.

Surances of support had been recelv-
ed from nearly all parts of the dis
trict
In announcing his candidacy the
Judge made the following statement:
''As candidate for the Republican
the time-honored traditions and poll
cies of that party, whose administra-
ton the history of the last fifty, years
has shown to be for the best interests
of the whole people, and has placed
the country in the front rank in the
list of nations of the world.
For reasonable preparedness with
out hysteria and with fiscal system
that will allow us to pay for it.
"A tariff that will produce sufficient
revenue for the uses of government
economically administered, and at the
same time furnish reasonable protec-
ton to American labor and American
industries.
"A foreign policy that cultivates
friendly relations with all other ma
tions and entangling alliances with
none, and which does not advise
American citizens 10 run away from
any country where there legitimate
business calls them.
Strict neutrality and absolute in
Partially toward all the warning ma
tions of Europe
IF | should be nominated and cleo
ed | propose to make careful bust
nesslike study of the wants and needs
of the district and to give all the peo-
pie my most careful and efficient SER
vice."
The Marinette Eagle-Star after pre-
facing his statement with the remark,
1.-The Indications are that Judge Glass
son will be given the cordial support
of Marinette county" has the follow
ing to say editorially:
1.-THE Oconto man is veteran re-
publican, speaker of ability and a
man who has had large experience
with public affairs. He is moreover a
student of political conditions and
from every standpoint is well quail
fed for the high etfice he seeks.
His platform is one on which the
republicans of the Ninth district can
unite. 1t is time that republican
congress was returned to take over the
nations affairs and Marinette county
feels that the Oconto man is equipped
TO represent us in the lower house.
From what we can learn of the senti-
ment throughout the Ninth, the feel
ing is that the republican forces
should unite on some man in the pri-
mary fer the purpose of preventing
primary contest that might hamper
the election of the successful nominee.
The coming year is to be "a repnbli-
can year and the party in this dis
trict is getting started early in it's
efforts to restore the country to re-
publican rule. One of the arst acts
will be to assure the nomination of
Judge Classon for congress"
The Amigo Journal says:
Judge Classon was candidate at
the primaries at the last election and
made an excellent run. He has been
prominent in politics for some years
and is considered one of the leading
o1ze fat. 10
public announcement may seem little
early, but it may preclude some others
from entering the race. No other can
didate has developed thus far. There
is a feeling that seems TO be quite
general that this district will get back
into the republican column this year
and whoever gets the nomination will
give MIR. Konop hard race, if he is
the candidate, In fact there have
been persistent rumors that he was
rot going 30 be and that he would
take up the practice Of law in Green
Bay to which city he has moved.
From the Peshtigo Times:
For several months past Republican
newspapers in the Ninth district have
coupled the name of David G. Classon
of 0conto with the republican nomina-
ton for congressman whenever re-
ference to the coming campaign was
made. No matter what other candl-
dates were considered Judge Classon's
name was among those mentioned.
One after another others who We're
mentioned declined TO run if Judge
Classon could be induced to become a
candidate AID pledged him their sup
port. Several weeks ago the Appleton
Post came out fiat footed with an nm
qualified endorsement of the Oconto
man and men of political prominence
in Outagamie county stood ready to
fall 10 line with the man from 0conto
as their leader. In Marinette county
and newaunee county conditions We're
