Frank Hoberta is in jail at Madison. He is a well known politician and is ue more plentiful in this state this year than has been the oju fnr vr nact a more faithful and painstaking group of men were never elected to office. The present wise and economical county government has been the means of saving to the people thousands of dollars. The people should in turn re-elect these men to office as a mark of appreciation. County officers are but servants and should be treated with the same consideration as private employes.

When they are eminently satisfactory and performing their duties faithfully and well, they should be continued in service. Two years ago the voters elected them to the several county offices lielieving them to be the men best qualified for the positions. After two year experience they should lie and are proud of the votes thus cast and will repeat the performance next Tuesday. deputy game warden.

for County Treasurer. William H. Reeves, for County Clerk. William II. Keeves is one of the most popular men in Wood county and by his ability has reflected much credit upon the democratic party during his term of ollice as county clerk.

No office in the court house is more visited by the general public than that of clerk and it is essential that he be courteous and obliging. W. II. Keeves treats the poorest taxpayer when he calls with the same consideration as the opulent and influential. The conduct of the oflice under him has been exceptionally creditable.

Being an expert bookkeeper by profession his hooks have always been models of perfection. Unless all signs fail he will serve another term as county clerk. Mr. Keeves is Amos E. Germer, for Member of Assembly.

Amos E. Germer, of Dexterville, will no doubt be returned to the assembly as a fitting recognition of his valuable services during the past two years. Among the representative democrats of the county, none stands higher or is more universally respected than the subject of this sketch. He is a man with a spotless reputation, an able lawyer, a scholar, and a man of affairs. He is one of the strongest men on either ticket soliciting the suffrage of the people at this election.

Modest to a degree of his own attainments his good deeds will have to be lauded by his friends rather than himself, lie is a mem-ber of the Wood county bar and secretary for the George Ililes Land Lumber Co, of Dexterville. As member of assembly he has faithfully represented the people of this district. There was no man in that enlightened body whose counsel was more frequently sought than Mr. Germer. He has the rare faculty of calmly weighing a proposition and arriving at a quick and wise decision.

It is believed there are sufficient voters in the county who are acquainted with him to increase his vote of two years ago. One of the most important oilices on the county ticket is that of treasurer. IJeing the custodian of the people's money, it is essential that he shall be a man of the highest possible integrity and possess a life long record for honesty and fair dealing. The ollice requires as well a thorough man of business, capable of managing his own affairs, keeping his own books, etc. The exactness with which every detail of the ollice must be kept, necessitates the election of one especially fitted for the position.

These qualifications are possessed in an eminent degree by M. G. Fleckenstein, the present and his re-election is practically assured. He is a resident of Marshfield where he has lived for many years and prior to his election two years ago was engaged in the general mercantile business. He is well and favorably known not only to all residents of his home city but every farmer in the immediate surrounding country.

He is one of the strongest men on either ticket. There are hundreds throughout the county who will cast their ballots for Mike Fleckenstein regardless of party in order to insure his re election. a resident of Grand Rapids and is the son of Seth Keeves, now deceased, who was the lirst mayor of that city and prominent in the early development of Wood county. In early manhood W. II.

Reeves was a telegrapher and later changed his profession to that of expert accountant. He was for four years prior to 1818 the city treasurer of Grand Rapids, elected successively on the non-partisan ticket without opposition. Vote for W. II. Reeves.
