SOUTHPORT TELEGRAPH.
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1912.

u Some of our readers may be disposed TO
complain because we devote so large space to
political subjects, especially, now that the election
is over. We hope there will be a little patience
exercised in this matter we do not intend to make
our paper exclusively political, to the neglect OF
other things of general interest. Correspondents
who claim to be heard in the columns of the Tele-
graph, will oblige US by expressing what they have
o say in as few words as possible.

Of the 9TH district, the application of the Bank

The Bank has about $4,000 of the Canal fund

EXECUTIVE DlcTATIoN.-The dictation exercised
by Gov. Doty, over the Office holders of hsappon-
ment in the Territory, is without parallel in this
country, and bears fit relation to that of a
feudai chicfain over the serfs of his jurisdiction
than that of governor free people in land
of republican, liberty. We are informed that dur
ing lis late visit to the eastern counties, he called
upon many of the public officers and particularly up
on the sherfs of the several counties, and charged
them on the peril of losing their commissions, to
exert themselves to their utmost procure the cleo
ton of Defy to the legislature. 1t appears
that there was at least officer to whom he is
sued his mandate, who had independence enough
to publicly resist this reckless exercise of power.
This officer was Fisher, the sheriff of Rock coun-
ty. 1t was generally understood that Fisher was
in favor of the election of Whiton-Whiton and
Doty are determined political enemies Doty it is
said Informed Fisher that unless he opposed the e.
lection of Wilton to the best of his ability, he
would deprive him of his office Fisher was too
high minded man to bow to such unwarrant-
able dctation: instead of obeyng the order, be ex-
erted himself efficiently, actively and successfully
in procuring the election of Wilton.
The above is not the only case of executive die
tation that has come to our knowledge facts near
err home might be stated which prudence at present
requires should not be spread before the public.
What say you freemen of Wisconsin,; are you pre-
pared to justify such encroachments upon the free
exercise ofpotical rights and privileges What
security have you that your rights will not be tram
pied upon, and that justice will not ba perverted

ELECTION IN Rock AND WALwoRTH We are
glad to learn that G. NJ Baker of Geneva, has been
elected to the Council from the district of Rock
and Walworh Mr. Baker was democratic cam
ddate for the House lasl year, but lost his elecon
this year he has succeeded by majority of nine.
The election of MIR. Baker is not only gratifying in
political point of view, but may also be garded
as moral triumph. He is Il man who du ring his
residence in Walworth co. has taken bold stand
against inempcrance and vice-he is firm and
unfinchng friend of good order, and is just such
man as every lover of virtue, must rejoice to see
promoted.
MIR. Wilton is also elected to the council from
he same district although Mr. Wilton is wing,
yet he is the determined political enemy of Doty.
AT meeting of the wings of Rock county on satur-
day previous to the election, a great number OF
questions were publicly propounded to MIR. Wilton,
touching his opinions of Doty and Doty measures
Mr. Wh;ton's answer was uuequivocaly given, and
they showed conclusively that he had no political
objection for Doty or his works.
The Democrats have succeeded in electlng one
member to the House, from the same district.
