LEON S. SAUER
STATE SENATOR
Leon N. Sauer, candidate for State
Senator on the LaFollette Progres
sive Republican ticket, is a Wisconsin
product, having been born here Jan
i nary 27th, 1893. Mr. Sauer is a
graduate of Milwaukee public and
high schools and upon graduation
from high school attended the Uni
versity of Indiana and majored in his
law training at Marquette University.
He is married and resides at 247 Jun
eau Ave., Apartment 1. is associated
in his law practice with William L.
Tibbs, special assistant district at
torney, and a son of Dj. F. N. Sauer,
former Health Commissioner.
Attorney Sauer enlisted June 16th,
1916, at the president's call for vol
unteers to go to Mexico. Mr. Sauer
served through the Glen Springs
battle with Villa’s forces and was
among those rescued through the
timely aid of the gallant 9tli and 10th
(Colored) Cavalry. Mr Sauer sailed
for France on the “Tuscania", the
llrst American troop ship to lie tor
pedoed, with a loss of 403 lives of
American soldier’s aboard. Mr. Sauer
fought with the infantry of the 32nd
Division from the trenches of Alsace
to the end of the war in the Argonne
forest, shoulder to shoulder with the
great Colored Divisions that made
such a name for themselves in the
Western Front.
Attorney Sauer draws no color or
creed lines, and defended and secured
the acquittal of, without one cent of
compensation of Janies K. Peabody,
the only Colored postal clerk ever
tried by the Civil Service Commis
sion. Mr. Sauer, in that case estab
lished a precedent that has prevented
the government from enforcing the
"quota rule” as regards the employ
ment of Colored persons who have
passed the Civil Service examination.
Mr. Sauer being a lifelong resident
of this district understands full well
the ueeds of the people and will guar
antee that legislation for which his
vote is cast will be file wish of the
people and not the wish of the mon
eyed interests who have in the past
endeavored to sway the vote of these
Senators.

campaign promises and usks that you

A Tried and
True Official
The Wisconsin Weekly Blade takes
great pleasure at this time in pre
senting to its many readers a true
likeness of the lion. Henry Bulder,
who is a candidate for re-election.
One good turn deserves another. His
record is an open book. The follow
ing Is a brief sketch of his record:
Henry Mulder, the county treasur
er, in going over his official records
for the year 1921 finds that because
of his thoughts fug- the welfare of
Milwaukee County financially he has
earned the sum of $13,680.13 from
sources other than the usual aven
ues of income.
During the said year he invested
the sum of one million dollars In U. S.
Certificates of Indebtedness, which
sum, if same had been left with the
banks of Milwaukee County as depos
itories of county funds, for the same
length of time would have earned in
interest a total of $11,605.28. in
placing tin's million dollars in certi
orates of indebtedness he earned for
the county the sum of $25,285.41.
In the year 192 1 the depository
hanks paid to the county an interest
of 2Vi % on the average daily depos
it, while U, S. Certificates if Indebt
edness paid as high as 5 Va % interest.
Due to Mr. Bulder’s efforts the Mil
j.aukee County depository banks were
induced to pay an interest of three
per cent on county funds to be left
.with them during the year 1922. The
treasury of Milwaukee County, he
finds, will therefore be enriched by
about the sum of $12,576.94
Praises come to Mr. Bulder very
frequently because of the courtesy
and dispatch which the public meets
In doing business with his department
atid there seems to be a pronounced
readiness on the part of his employ
ees to serve.
He has the finest staff of employees
I in his office, second to none in the
state. They are kind and courteous
to everybody. Re-elect the above
gentleman to this office and you will
make no mistake.
