TIE Mortified Ners published last
week some hitherto unknown political
history which corrects the mendacious
charge that has often been made that
the reason Mr.. Heatwole opposes Gov.
ernor McGill's denomination was that
the latter refused to give him an office
From the publication referred TO il
seems that Immediately after the cleo
ton two years ago the executive COM
mittcc of the state central committee
met and agreed that none Of them would
ask a nomination of the governor. Gov.
McGill was informed of this action. Mr..
Heatwole was one of the executive com.
mittee. The genial secretary further
saws that the only man he recommended
for a salaried position was Warren Ives
for dairy commissioner. The statement
of Mr.. Heatwole beside clearing himself
refutes the charges made against Stan.
ford Newell, the same being that he
wished to dictate to Gov. McGill relative
to appointments. This all shows how
very easy it is for political lies which in
reality have no foundation in truth to
be given such circulation as to eventual
~ lead 10 their credence by honest peo-
Pile. 1t also proves that those gentle
men who are opposing McGill in the
present canvass are doing so from a
standpoint which has the good and sue
cess of the party as its first motive.

Secretary III. r. Denny, of the State
Fair, says he has more applications now
for space in every department for the
coming exhibition, September 10th to

early in the season. Applications have
been received which will fill every stall

only thing to be feared is that additional
barns will have to be built for some oil
the late corners. Stockmen from every
Western State and many from the East
and South will bring their horses and
cattle to the fair. Already entries are
being made in every department, some
thing never known before so early. One
of the features of the fair will be an auc,
ton sale of fine cattle. Already the
owners of two herds of Holsteins. viz
John w. Meyers & Co., of Wells, Mimi,

NEW YORK STATE CONVEN-
TON.

The Republican State Convention of
New York, last week, was unusually
harmonious. The great empire state
probably holds the political destiny Of
the Presidential election. The candi-
date for Governor, Warner Miller, was
nominated by reclamation, without
the form of ballot. This speaks we'll
for the state in which in past years
there have been divisions in the party.
Warner Miller accepted the nomina-
tion in ringing speech. which shows
him not afraid to speak out on press
ing questions of the day, on which
some policy men preserve a studied
silence. The platform adopted is not
a silent one on the temperance ques.
ton. Gov. Hill having vetoed bills re-
lating to the liquor traffic at the last
session of the legislature, the platform
adopts the following:
ave approve the efforts of the Re-
publicans in the last legislature upon
the liquor question, especially on pass
ing the act nullified by such executive
action to restrict that traffic by
charges which would lift some of the
burdens of taxation caused by the liq-
uor traffic from the home and farm
and we believe that such charges
should be advanced to standards SINH
lar to those successfully enforced in
other states under Republican control"

Respectable citizens of long resi-
dence in the western part of this coun-
ty inform us reports are industriously
circulated that Republicans were the
instigators of the violence attempted
on the Prohibition tent, in which meet
ings were held in the county. They
assert that these reports are damaging
and calculated to drive decent Repub.
licans away. if such acts find liberation
In the party. They think the Republi-
can newspapers should express disap-
prevail of such proceedings. We have
no evidence of the truth of what is
charged, but so far as the TELEGRAPH
reflects public sentiment will say. if
there are persons so shameless as to
disturb meetings of any party lawfully
assembled. they are discreditable and
ought not to be tolerated. We cannot
believe that any one having any claim
to decency or responsibility would
countenance conduct of the kind COM
planned of.

REV. FRANK T. LEE.

Rev. F. T. Lee, long and well known
to people i'm this vicinity, who closed
his engagement at Whitewater some
time ago, but has been remaining in
this part of the state, gave his final
sermon in the Congregational church
at Whitewater on Sunday evening, Aug.
20. The Register says it was one of
his best efforts. and was listened to by
a large and attentive audience. On Il
subsequent evening one of the largest
sociables ever held in the church was
assembled. made up of members of the
congregations in the city; it being gen.
orally understood as an expression of
regard for Mr.. Lee and wife, prior to
their departure from the west. After
visiting a few OLD acquaintance the
Register says:
"He will then 60 to New York and

WISCONSIN STATE VETERANS
HOME.

The dedicatory exercises of the Wis
consin State Veterans Home, at Wau-
paca, occurred on Wednesday of last
week, ON which occasion there were
5000 people in attendance. Kenosha
county has an interest in this home for
v eteran Union soldiers, but it has thus
far been but family expressed. Several
months ago it was proposed to raise
$3.50 in this county to build soldiers
cottage at Waupaca. 1t was antici-
pated that amount would be easily
raised by fixing the sum for each con-
tributor at twenty-five cents, placing
the amount so low that even the chill
dren would be pleased to take stock in
the proposed cottage for Kenosha
county. But for some reason not so
pleasan: to attempt to explain, not one
half of the proposed amount has been
raised. In this state of the matter
what should be done is not for us to
say. 1t is no doubt understood that
this enterprise has been given a good
start by the state, but it was not ex-
pected that the state would do all;
the liberality Of patriotic citizens was
anticipated to aid. The grounds Sc
cured for the Home consists of seven
ty-seven acres, skirted on one side by a
beautiful lake. There are several
buildings on the ground, some of them
of good size, but most of them but lit
tie more than temporary. Cottage
buildings, small and of various styles
of architecture, are under way in build
ing. AS the session is approaching
when outdoor work on the cottages
will not be convenient, it is urged that
what is to be done this season should
be soon,

impossibility for man to enter unless

from the new birth. What is the new

two points Interestingly discussed in the
sermon. The topic announced for the

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN

YOUNG MEN-THEIR FIRST
VOTE.

At the coming election i'm November
next, as in former years, there will. be
many young men who will cast their
first vote. A young mans first vote
on arriving at the year of his majority
marks period in his life to which he
in after years often refers, and if it
was for candidate of distinguished
reputation, state or national, he de-
lights to make mention of the fact.
Occasionally there is found a man who
voted for the first time in 1910 for Gen.
William II. Harrison, and he refers to
it with pride. There are many young
men who will cast their first vote next
fall for President. Every such young
man should give the question careful
consideration, as to which candidate
he will be best satisfied to give his in
fluence, and the recollection of which
of the present candidates he would
probably take the greatest satisfaction
in referring to a decade or two here.
after? Admitting the business fitness
of the candidates for the position for
which they have been nominated, the
inquiry is important, which has the
most unblemished private character?
Which has the best model record of
life for young men to emulate? We
assail no candidates private reputa-
ton, but insist that character has
something to do with the proper quail
fcatiOns of man for office of high
position in professedly christian
country.
Ifyoung men are ambitious to begin

ought to be, they should read the his
