Heading the list for the Office OF
state representative is Ole Gilbert
son, one of the well known and re-
preventative farmers of Winneshiek
county, resident Of Madison town
ship. He never aspired to political
office before, but was picked by his
friends here to make the race for
representative, because he has been

ed of good judgment and one who
would do his best to give the proper
kind of representation to his con-

For the offices of county treasurer
and clerk Of the district court two
very good, capable men are in the
field, Mr.. C. P. Seim for county
treasurer and Mr.. S. J. Moore for
county CLERK. Neither one of these
candidates have any opposition for
their respective offices. Mr.. Seim has
been the efficient deputy under coun-
ty treasurer Christen, and like Mr..
Christen is a mighty fine young man,
capable. trustworthy and reliable.
and judging from his record as
deputy is going to make a mighty
! fine official for the chief Office. Mr..
Moore has been clerk for the past
two terms. and we DO not believe
there has ever been a better clerk in
this very important office. He has
every qualification for conducting
the Office in the most efficient man

has proven this beyond any doubt
Better officials than Mr.. Moore are
hard TO procure,
