SOMK CANDIDATKH POK OUVKKNUIT. The ceitainty that the Republican party will win iu the coming State campaign has brouglic out an Unusual number of candidates for the ofHce of Governor and it has been many years since the Republicans were embarrassed by having to choo.se their candidate from an(iong so many strong and de- eervipg men. And while the Republicans of Allen county have but one choice and will give their undivided support to Hon. E. H.

Funston, yet they are interested in being made as well acquainted as possible with the names, faces and records of other candidates. Hence the egister has ar. ranged to publish a portrait and sketch of all the candidates between now and the date of the and we are sure they will all be seen and read with interest and pleasure. The editor of the egister is proud to claim them all as personal acquaintances and friends and takes pleasure in introducing them to the people of Allen county.
