Mr. Wilman has made an enviable record as county auditor and we have always found him at his post of duty ready to accomadate the people. Mr. Wilmann had a very difficult task before him when he took the office two years ago. The records were in bad shape and after working hard day and night for the last year and a half he has succeeded in straightening out the affairs to such an extent-that they -were never in better shape than at the present time. He has added thousands of acres of land to the tax list that have for years escaped taxation. His way of handling the forfeited tax sale last year met with the approval of the state auditor, who made a personal visit to the aud- itors office at the time of the sale. The office of the county auditor is an important one, and a man is needed there who is competent and willing to safeguard the in- terests of the taxpayers and such a man_is found in the present Coroner. auditor, John Wilmann who is seeking re-election. us Falls, Minn., Aug.
