to Be Selected.

for state, congressional, legislative
and county offices will be chosen.
The candidates have all put in a
busy week getting their final
messages to the voters, and are
ready to let the people decide.
Interest iu the election through
out the state is centered in the
fight for United States senator and
for governor, with the Republican
candidates holding the stage. 1t
is generally conceded that the
woman candidate for United States
senator on the Democrat ticket,
Jessie Jack Hooper, of Oshkosh,
has not ghost of a show of being
elected. On the Republican
ticket VIM. A. Garfield, of Wauke-
sha, is trying TO unseat Senator
Robert NJ. LaFollette, veteran of
many political battles and with
many years service in the seuate to
his credit. Garfield and his pro-
moters have waged a bitter fight,
but for all that LaFollette is favor.
ed as the winner.
Gov. Blaine has made a strong
campaign for re election as govern.
or of this state and has two op-
ponents, Vim. J. Morgan, the pre-
sent attorney general, and A. c.
McHenry, mayor of Oshkosh. The
latter came into the political lime
light two years ago when he ran
against Senator Lenroot.
There are two candidates for
lieutenant governor on the Re-
publican ticket, TWO for secretary
of state, two for state treasurer
and two for attorney general.
For representative in congress
from the Eleventh district, of which
Iron county is a part, the present
incumbent, A. P. Nelson, of
Grantsburg, is candidate for re.
election, with H. H. Peavey, of
Washburn, furnishing the opposi-
ton. Mr. Peavey was a candidate
two years ago. He has made a
campaign on platform favoring
repeal of the Esch Cummins law,
free dynamite for the farmer and
endorsement of the LaFollette
progressive platform and principles.
Opponents of Congressman Nelson
have found little in his past record
to attack and expressions Of gener-
al satisfaction with his administra-
ton of the duties of the office dur
ing his past two terms have been
heard on all sides and it is believed
that he will be returned for another
term.
For member of assembly Iron
county voters will have the choice
of two candidates.
AS usual the fight for sheriff
furnishes the main interest in the
coming election in Iron county
