Edward Yates of Pike County consented to run for State Senator at the request of supporters across the district. The Republican party is praised for presenting such a capable man to the voters.
In his wide circle of friends he is known as a man who places truth and honor on the highest plane and not only advocates these principles, but lives them daily. He is a statesman of the Abe Lincoln type, strong in his convictions, ruthless in his denunciation of wrong but gentle and kind to the innocent.
Col Edward Yates has dedicated his career to campaign work since 1890, serving under both state and national committees without seeking or accepting any office or compensation. His motives are described as voluntary and rooted in a belief in sound government and honorable statesmanship.
WALTER W. MILLER has been selected as the best offering of the Republican party for Circuit seat. The choice signals party support in this district race, with Miller expected to campaign on fiscal reform and public safety.
The Republican party presents Wm Schlagenhauf as an able attorney with three terms in the district legislature and a successful stint on the Board of Education. He refused re nomination to focus on other business, but his primaries support indicates strong backing for electing him to oversee county legal affairs.
The party presents August F. Stormer of 803 State St Quincy NL as its top Coroner candidate, consistent with the slate offered by other offices.
