GEO. M. STOWE CANDIDATE
FOR CLERK SUPREME COURT

From Wadena Pioneer Journal,
February 9, 1922.
Mr.. Stowe this morning issued the
following statement: /
81 would solicit the support of the
voters of the state for the nomina-
ton for the office of Clerk of the
Supreme Court of Minnesota, subject
to the will of the Republican state
convention to be held the latter part
of March.
"In so doing I would call your
attention to the fact that long SER
vice Along the same line of duty re-
quired in that office, has given me
much experience and preparation fer
the same.
81 believe that men are needed in
public office who will always do the
best they can, just where they are;
men willing to labor in obscurity,
smiling at adversely, waiting in pa
8 thence, who will not cringe before
power or grow morally flabby in the
presence of opportunity.
"Your support and influence will
be appreciated and should success be
mine in securing nomination and
election I promise the same ldelity
and faithful service with which ev-
cry public duty has been performed
by me-"
George M. Stowe.
The Pioneer Journal is pleased to
be the first to announce the candi-
dacy of George M. Stowe, of this
city, for the nomination of clerk of
the state supreme court on the Re-
publican ticket. The nomination
will be made at the meeting of the
Republican state convention at St.
Paul, Friday, March 81 next. His
candidacy is subject to the will of
that convention, and if not success
!, full Mr.. Stowe and his friends an
nounce their intention of giving
their hearty support to the nominee.
Wadena friends have rallied whole
heartedly to his support and a large
local committee has been formed
which will put in its time from now
until the convention in the hope of
putting him across"
Mr.. Stoves candidacy seems to
come at an opportune time and to be
entirely logical.
Herman Mueller, the present in
cumbent, is a resident of St. Cloud,
which is in the same congressional
district (the SIXTH as Wadena,
Mueller was successful in the pri-
maries two years ago despite the
active and open opposition of the Re
publican state committee, which OPP
position was based upon the alleged
fact that Mueller was Nonartisan
and the recipient of the support of
the Nonpartisan League.
This condition of affairs was wide
ly advertised, with the result that
general opinion, today is that Muel
Ter would not trust his candidacy, if
he desires reelection, to a Republi-
can convention.
The field is thus left clear for a
new candidate, and as the office is
now held by Sixth district man,
Mr.. Stowe can logically ask the sup
port of Sixth district Republicans as
Sixth district man.
They will also urge Mr.. Stoves
apparent fitness for the position,
claim which will not be challenged
by anyone.
Mr.. Stowe also has a host of
friends throughout the state who will
gladly rally to his support, and it is
likely that he will command almost
the solid support of more than one
OF the congressional districts by reas-
on of his wide acquaintance.
Wadena people will rally to his
candidacy almost unanimously, not
only because they are his friends, but !.
because once again it gives them as
