lor the nomination for the ninro ol county
treasurer , subject to Hie ilerlslon of the Id1-

Two cousecutive terms in an
office is enough. Tb.de are too
many good men.
The fact that a man has been
a long and consistent worker in
the Republican ranks docs not
entitle him to a life-lease on an
oflicc.
The people do not get the ser
vice they deserve when a man
comes to feel that he has a
"cinch" on an oflicc and consequently
quently a change of men is often
a good thing.
A party is indebted to a man
only so long as he continues to
reflect credit on it and contribute
to its strength and standing
among all of the people.
When you neglect to support
W. II. Osbornc for county clerk ,
you not only neglect your own
interests , but your neighbors as
well , for there is no better man
for the place. Oconto Register.
A. J. Van Antwerp's training
and qualifications fit him for the
best county surveyor Custer
county ever had , and that's
going some , but it's the truth.
Oconlo Register.
In another column will be
found the announcement of N.
Dwight Ford for the nomination
for county judge. Mr. Ford is a
stranger to us , but he is highly
recommended by those who know
him. Oconto Register.
N. D. Ford , of Ansley , was in
the city Saturday for the Repub
lican county convention. Mr.
Ford is making an active cam
paign as a candidate for county
judge and is making a great
many friends wherever he goes ,
lie is recognized as a man of
energy and ability.
During the last week favor
able comments on the Republi
can's article concerning A. R.
Humphrey have come to the
notice of the editor. These come
from all over the county and in
dicate that the rank and file of
the Republicans agree with the
sentiment expressed in the arti
cle.
Garland Lewis , candidate for
the nomination for county super
intendeut , was greeting the
voters in Oconto Wednesday.
This office was remembered with
a friendly call. Mr. Lewis is a
fine young man , and is perfectly
competent for that office. If you
want to support the right man
for superintendent , don't fail to
vote for him. Oconto Hegister.
In this issue appears the an
nouncement of the candidacy of
Garland Lewis for the nomina
tion for county superintendent.
He is a man well fitted , both by
education and practical experi
ence as a teacher in both rural
and village schools , one of which
was spent as principal of the
Merna schools. He has a college
education and holds a profes
sional state certificate , lie also
pledges himself if elected to put
his entire efforts to the school
interests of Custer county and to
treat all alike. Merni Postal
Card.
Many people have wondered
why the county option plank in
the Republican platform adopt
ed by the county convention last
Saturday was not included in
the report to the state papers of
the resolutions adopted. This
county option resolution was
drawn up oy County Attorney
Gddd and was passed as a sub
stitute for the anti-saloon reso
lution reported by the resolu
tions committee of which Judge
Humphrey was a member. A
copy of the committees resolu
tions was given to the reporter
for the dailies by Mr. Humph
rey with 110 intimation that they
had been amended or changed in
any way. Will Judge Humph
rey please explain bis action in
th's matter ? Did he desire that
the people of the state should
not know that the Republicans
of this county stand for county
option or what was his object ?
Under the new law the party
primaries will be held August
17 , 1'JO'J , and candidates are be
ginning to bob up everywhere.
Many good men are in the field.
Among them is one of whom we
feel that it is our duty to sup
port , as he is both qualified and
deserving of the office for which
he aspires and that man is Geo.
Porter.
Mr. Porter asks of the Repub
lican voters of Custer county the
nomination for the office of Reg
ister of deeds.
Mr. Porter is a pioneer of Cus
ter county and is recognized as a
Mason City boy.
His character is unquestion
able and as far as competency is
concerned he has served the past
four years as deputy in this
office and no more capable man
is in the race for the office. He
lias always been identified as a
staunch Republican and as this
is the first time he has been a
candidate for office , his request
for your support is a just one.
In making out your list of can
didates for the coming primary
don't neglect to investigate the
merits of this man and he will
surely be your choice on Aug. 17.

Sonic Facts About Lincoln.
The following statement of
facts is vouched for by one of
the temperance workers of Lin
coln. They show that a city as
large as Lincoln may prosper
without saloons.
"Since the saloons were voted
out of Lincoln the city is pros
pering as never before.
There are more houses build
ing than in the same months of
last year.
There are more real estate
sales.
There is more demand for
houses to rent.
There is not an idle laboring
man in Lincoln and the contrac
tors arc needing more men.
'Ihe merchants are having bet
ter trade , and collections are
better than ever belore.
The deposits in the Savings
banks have increased over a
thousand dollars a day ever since
the saloons closed.
The clearing house reports
show the banks are doing
twenty-two per cent more busi
ness than last year.
There are fewer people in the
jails , and there are few arrests
for drunkenness mostly men
who get drunk at Havelock.
The city has a cleaner look
and a cleaner smell , and four-
fifths of the people arc proud
that it is dry. "
