Election is Drawing Near
and You Are to Decide

If the republican county ticket is not
elected this fall it will be nobody's
fault but the voters therefore, on
you, as a republican, rests a response
bility. In the primary election the
voters of this county made a choice of
candidates to represent them, if elected
in the various Offices of the county.
Every man of them from senator to
coroner is worthy the vote and support
of all good republicans. If competency,
manhood and strict accountability
counts for anything; if honesty, char
acter and integrity is an asset worthy
of choice, then the voter need not hest
tate for whom to cast his ballot.
AS a matter of campaign literature
there has been issued by the republican
county committee a neat little folder
embelished with the portraits of the
different county candidates, together
with a short sketch of their lves-a
sort of Introductory Of them to the
voter for fear that not all will have
a chance to read what is said of them
the Reporter takes pleasure in repub-
fishing the same, beginning with the
office of senator.
Isaac p. Witter.
1t is not often that the voters have a
chance to vote for so efficient man as
is the republican candidate for state
senator, Isaac P. Witter of Grand Rap
ids. Born and raised in the city of
Grand Rapids where he has been one
of the prime movers of all that is pro
gressive in his home city. He is sue
cessful business man, thoroughly train
ed in every sense of the word, and a
man who will represent Wood county
with credit to himself, as we'll as the
county. He is man of excellent hab-
its, is as fearless as he is kind and OBJ
hging-the kind of a man who makes
friends and inspires confidence, a man
you may be proud to vote for.
Byron Nottingham.
The republicans of Wood county are
fortunate in nominating as their candi-
date for the assembly, Byron Whiting
ham of the town of Arpin. Mr.. Whit
tingham has been engaged for num-
Der of years past in a general merchan
disc business and has met and associa-
ted with people of all classes, and
i i L
is a lifelong republican and has always
been a leader and without asking for
office or reward, has given his time and
money to promote republican legisla-
ton. If elected to the assembly, Mr.
Nottingham will make a record that
Wood County will be proud of His
only motto through life has been Jus
tice to all and partiality to none"
John NormingtOn.
John Normington, who has received
the nomination for the office of sheriff
is a resident of the village of Biron.
Mr.. bennington, prior to coming to
Wood county, served over seventeen
years on the police and detective force
in the city of Milwaukee and has had
unlimited experience in the dealing and
handling of criminals. He has a fear
less nature and will make an officer of
confidence and in the discharge of ev-
cry duty that has fallen upon him in
the past he has shown himself to be a
man of courage and determination. His
first policy is honesty and Wood coun-

ty will have nothing to fear in the way
of petty overcharging in case Mr.
Normington is elected to the Office of
sheriff. Voting for him is a vote for
a man you may well be proud of.
Sam Church.
The republican party is especially
proud of its candidate for county clerk.
Mr. Church has been in the drug bust
ness in the city of Grand Rapids for
number of years. Besides his private
experience, he has had experience in
public office work, having served as
city treasurer of Grand Rapids for two
terms. He filled the office with credit
to himself. Me is a trained business
man of strict integrity. A great hand
for system and other schemes of i'm
any kind, aims for increased efficiency
and one of these fellows whom you like
to meet and deal with, being of even
temperament and always pleasant and
good-natured. He will be on the job
all the time.
Claus Johnson.
Is the republican candidate for coun-
ty treasurer, and a better choice could
not be made. He was raised on farm
in the town of Sigel where he held the
office of chairman with credit to him
self and town. He is honest, trust
worthy and a man of his word and the
office of treasurer, above all others,
should be filled by a man whose word
is as good as his bond. In addition, Mr.
Johnson is thoroughly efficient in the
performance of every duty that has ev-
er fallen upon him. He is affable and
polite, courteous and cOnsiderate to
all and if the guardianship of the
county's money is entrusted to him
there is no question but what the office
of county treasurer will be conducted
in a competent manner
Henry Ebbe.
In the town where he lived for more
than thirty years there is no man
better known or appreciated for his
social and business qualities than Hen
ry Ebbe. Born and raised on farm in
the town of Lincoln he has always been
found a leader in the ranks of pro-
gressive citizenship. He has served
his town as town chairman and his re-
cord is an open book Mr. Ebbe pos
sesses every qualification necessary to
discharge his duties efficiently and add
ed to this is a cheerful and courteous
manner, a sound business training and
a man who, if elected, will run the
office of register Of deeds for the bene-
fit of the people of the county.
John Roberts.
Born on a Wisconsin farm; worked
on farms, on railroads, in shops, fac
tories and Offices Admitted to prac-
tice law in this state and federal courts
in June, 1911 Elected district attor-
ney two years ago. During his one
term of office as district attorney, Mr.
Roberts has saved the county large
sums of money and has been very sue
cessful in the winning of cases tried.
He has saved the county great deal
of money by getting the parties arrest
ed to plead guilty without putting the
county to the expense of a trial. If
the voters and tax payers realize when
they have a good man in office and one
who has an excellent record they ought

A. B. BEVER.

No office in the gift of the people is
of such Importance and responsibility
as that Of clerk Of court, end among
hsi many duties he has to keep in tuoch
with all classes of people of our citi-
zens and to keep and maintain records
of all cases filed in his office. The re-
cords in Mr.. Bever's Office is the best
recommendation which we can give
him. Each record is kept and cared for
correctly, and in addition to this, Mr..
Bever is one of those good-natured,
oblging public servants who take
pleasure in doing favors for his fell
lowmen. Vote for him.

Death of Mrs. S. ]. Purdy.-Ano-
Their of our old citizens, and most ex
cellent Christian woman has gone to
her eternal rest. Mrs. Purdy died at
her residence in the town of Seneca,
last Sunday, between the hours of 2
and 3 p. m. For years Mrs. Purdy
has been an acute sufferer from as
thmatic difficulty and heart trouble,
which developed dropsical symptoms
rapidly, resulting in her death as
stated above.
Mrs. Purdy was a member of the
Congregational church and a devout
christian. She seemed to have pre-
monition of approaching dissolution,
and requested the attendance of few
immediate friends at her bedside, the
day of her passing away. Mrs. Pur-
day was a genial courteous woman
with a humorous side to her nature
which always won friends, and kept
them. Large hearted, thoroughly
good, and always devout, she has
gone into the other life grandly pre-
pared for an eternity of usefulness
and rest. She leaves a husband and
two children, Emma lovely girl and
a son, Mr.. C.. T. Purdy, most exem-
plary and promising young man, to
mourn her going, while they willing
ly resign her to the care of the good
Father and his tender mercies.

In the campaign the President seized
Upon the adjournment Of Congress to-day
as an opportunity for issuing a statement

In his statement he commits himself
