three terms for an acceptable superin
tendent of public instruction the rule,
rather than the exception. Mr. Bowers
served three terms and Mr. McUlusky
was appointed to fill an unexpired term,
and was subsequently nominated and
elected three times. Hence Mr. Baer's
candidacy is directly in line with prece
dent. However, Mr. Baer's most offici
ent public service in the management
and upbuilding of the schools of the
county would dictate his retention in
office for another term solely in the in.

being an established fact that a super

more good work in his last two years
than in the first term. In Lancaster
county the school population b 20,087.
There are 135 school districts, and the
county is 24 by 36 miles. There are 170
teachers exclusivo of Lincoln. This is
a large territory for one man to cover;
but Mr. Baer, by a strict attention to
business is able to visit every school

thoroughly posted on all school matters
in the district. In the last school year
he has made 218 visits to schools, exclu

institutes, etc Last year under his ad
ministration, there were only lOchanges
in a teaching force of 170. Mr. Baer
has given much attention to the impro

introduced a most useful outline course

onter the county convention with at
least as many votes as any other candi

When the republicans of the county
and state have made requisitions on Lin
coln talent for campaign purposes the
choice has more often fallen on I. W.
Lansing than on any oncelse, and Ike
Lansing is thoroughly known all over
the state. In this county particularly, he
has friends in every precinct, and in the
county convention there will be a gen
eral demand for the re-nomination of
Lansing. Judge Lansing has an excel
lent reputation for fairness on the bench,
being one of the most popular incuin- TPI EPHONE 364
bents of the office of county judge. His
integrity and unvarying impartiality
have never been called in question, and
his record in office is his sole basis for
his candidacy for renomination. There
are numerous other candidates for this
office, but Judge Lansing has the advan
tage of his competitors in acquaintance
and popularity. The situation, so far
as his candidacy is concerned, h
thoroughly understood. He will make
no fight for the Fourth ward delega
tion; but there is no doubt that the AMERICAN WHEELMAN'S
delegation will be friendly to him, and
when the proper time comes hie name Protective Association
will be presented to the convention.
Lansing is a good judge, an out and
out republican, and he has a large Drop me a postal for particulars,

A popular candidate for clerk of the
district court is T. H. Pratt, of the
Fourth ward, known throughout the
graded study has been wirmly com- county as "Tom Pratt'. Mr. Pratt is a
mended and has done much to increase young man of excellent character, and
the efficiency of the teachers services, has a large acquaintance among the
A thorough organization of the teach- people of Lancaster county, republicans
era' association has also been effected, particularly. He has, ever since his
with six local subordinate societies, this residence here, taken an active part in
agency doing much to quicken tho in- republican politics, and has in every
terest of teachers. Mr. Baer has had
marked success in county institute
work, the attendance at the last insti
tute reaching 385. Mr. Baer has a
twelve years residence in Lancaster
county, having taught in the county for
seven years. He has lived in Hickman,
Emerald and Waverly, the last named
place being his present residence. He
will receive cordial support from all
over the county. Mr. Baer is an active
republican, having rendered valuable
assistance to the party in all recent
compaigns. The placing of his name
among the list of republican standard
bearers this year will materially
strengthen the ticket.
Sam E. Low is known throughout the
county as an enthusiastic and stalwart
republican, ae a young man of except
ional talent, and unimpeachable integ
rity. When R. B. Graham ran for
mayor the last time Mr. Low was editor
of the Evening JVetrs and it was owing
to a disagreement with tha proprietors
thot he withdrew at that time from the
conduct of the paper. He was for Mr.
Graham; his associates were not. When
he could no longer support editorially
the nominee of the republican party he
left the Netcs. Mr. Low has at all
times been identified with the aggress
ive dyed-in-the-wool element of repub
licans, and he has taken the stump for
the ticket in every campaign since his
residence here which embraces eight
years, having visited in this way nearly
every portion of the county. He is
generally esteemed as an attorney and
enjoys the respect and confidence of
citizens generally. He is a prominent
member of the Young Men's Republican
club and has taken a leading,part in its
upbuilding. In his present candidacy
for clerk of the district court Mr. Low
has the cordial support of a large fol
lowing of republicans and personal
friends who are disposed to render him
every assistance. In the contest for
the Fourth ward delegation Mr. Low
will certainly be successful, and he will
campaign labored to secure republican
success. His efforts in this direction
are known and appreciated. Mr. Pratt
came to Lincoln in 1881 and has engag
ed in business here continuously since
that time. For the past nine years he
hap resided in the Fourth ward and it
is from his old time friends and neigh
bors that he expects to receive such a
support as will secure him a proper rep
resentation in the convention. During
the past month Mr. Pratt's wife has
been sick and on that account he has
not been able to give his canvass tha
personal attention that he had hitherto
given it; but be is now pushing his
campaign vigorously. Mr, Pratt is not
tied up with any candidate for clerk or
other office, and he expects to make
the fight on his own account. This
candidate has a strong following among
the young republicans of the county as
well as the veteran element.
The choice of the republicans of the
Fifth ward for district judge is John P.
Maule, who has endeared himself to the
active element of the party by his par
ticularly efficient services as chairman
of the county central committee, and
his zeal for the republican cause gen
erally. Mr. Muule has resided in Ne
braska twenty-five years and is known
throughout the state as an able attor
ney. He was prosecuting attorney for
the First judicial district, comprising
ten counties for two terms and has been
prominently identified with the public
life of the state. Mr Maule is a forcible
speaker and his services have always
been in demand in campaigns. It has
been said that his candidacy in the
Fifth ward was in the interest of an
other candidate. This is not the case.
Mr. Maule, if made the choice of the
ward, will go into the convention in his
own interest, with confidence in his
prospect of success. With his standing
in his profession and prominence in re
publican ranks, he is bound to be a
leading candidate for district judge.
