Next Tuesday, November Z, i:
election day, and the polls will oper

The various candidates of both
parties have been making a Igor.
Gus campaigns and with good weather
prevailing without doubt large and
representative vote will be out.
The Big fight this year centers in
the senatorial fight. The opposition
TO Col. Brookharr the republican
candidate for United States senator
within his own party has cooled, and
cooled greatly, and some of the
leading spirits in it are inclined TO
laugh off the matter, saying it was
a step taken in the heat of factional
and political strife. but that now they
can see no legitimate reason for sup
porting a democrat, and Col. Brook
hart will be accorded, we believe,
the largest vote for senatorial
candidate in years.
Congressman Haugen's opponent,
Mr.. Schanke is trying hard to de-
feat Mr.. Haugen, going about the
district with scathing denunciations,
but Congressman Haugen's fine quail
tiles as man and square dealing
congressman are too well known to
his supporters and they are back of
him to a person and will return
Mr.. Haugen % congress by big
majority, despite Mr.. Schanke's
lashings. Haugen has proven his
worth and his friends are standing
by him.
Hon. Judge Springer and Hon.
Judge Taylor will have no opposition
at the polls and will be elected by a
large vote. They are worthy and
efficient judges.
Senator CarlsW Reea ia ane.her

ing his first term from the Howarf-
Winneshiek district He is opposed

Herbert Gross, making three cor
nered fight for the office, the demo-
cratic candidate being J. P. Kuhn.
Mr.. Reed won the nomination in the

qualification to fill the office well
and efficiently.
County Treasurer c. P. Seim is
another official who has made good
and has taken care of the office in a
highly efficient manner, and will be
reelected for another tyrm.
For clerk of courts the candidate
| is S. j. Moore and more efficient
and popular official would be hard to
select, and the high record for
efficiency in this office under Mr..
Moore's occupancy will bear out our
assertion.
Frank l.. Christen for sheriff is
a Young man of high character, and
one capable of performing the duties

the republicans at the election Tues
\ day.
For county recorder Albert Ham
M ersness is the Republican candi-
i date, and more accommodating

\ polls on election day by returning
him with a good majority.
