To The Voters of The Fifteenth
Judicial Circuit:
I desire to acknowledge.
through the newspapers, receipt
of a large number Of communi-
cations from people of this cir
cult commencing my work as
circuit judge during this, my
first term in that Office, and
stating that they see no reason
why change should be made
at this time and that they will
support me for reelection next
April. | desire also to acknow.
ledge. in a more public manner
than by personal letters, the
receipt Of a statement signed
by most Of the lawyers of the
circuit, endorsing my work as
circuit Judge and asking that I
stand for reelection.
All of these expressions of
recognition of my efforts to
serve the people efficiently are
highly appreciated by me, and
in placing myself before the
voters for re election l do so
with assurance to the public
that my whole aim in the future,
if reelected, shall. as in the
past, be to administer the duties
of the office to the best of my
ability.
The work of the court, and
particularly at this time of the
year, is such that I will be un-
able, between now election day,
April 3rd, to get around to see
very many of the voters and
shall have to leave my candidacy
to you, relying upon my record
of the past term, for support.
[ feel that the voters of this
circuit now know whether my
record this first term, with the
experience have gained in the

ment. If you think it does, l
shall be very glad to have your
votes at the polls on election

Once we get started and this city
has a few successful diversified
manufacto in addition to those
she has--and not in competition with
these, others will come more easily
and more rapidly and we can look to
the period when Washburn will be
established for all time to come.
But it is well now to disabuse our
minds of the idea that any big in
dustries will come knocking at our
doors, ready to set up business with
a large pay-roll--until the years have
solved these transportation and other
problems in relation to the Che
quamegon Bay SIS a whole, and the
Twin Cities. Then, we may hope
for the larger plants. But just now,
let us look frankly and squarely at
our present and future--get down to
business and be prepared to help
ourselves.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-03-15

We of Washburn have before US
the example of other cities. near and
far. We have set the pace, made
the start and are now learning the
modus operandi. We can follow
the lines of least resistenc and fall
behind or we can buffet obstacles
and jump into the lead and secure
results. We have the organization
and it is a good one. Nature has
done much for us and neighbors are
going to lend hand. This land
locked harbor, unequaled on the
lakes or anywhere under the sun,
has it's peculiar relation to some
future development of the Twin
Cities. 1t is we'll for us to not only
take ourselves seriously, but to be
willing to make additional sacrifices,
as citizens--and that is by work with
the organization and it's secretary
and officers.
