 Tie above is clipping from an un- known paper A reply from one who has had experience in using salt as soil fertilizer may be of interest says the Country Gentleman.

At the wheat harvest tbe clover on this portion was so tbickly set that there was scarcely a square foot that was not covered with a rank growth, while on the other there were many spots where tbe clover looked sickiy, and some places were bare.

The last democratic meeting
held in this portion of the county
was at Pomainville's hall Monday
evening. The hall was we'll filled
by people of all shades of opin-
ion. Mr.. Tom Nash called the
meeting to order and in few we'll
chosen words introduced Mr.. Cog
gins as the speaker Of the evening
and as an educator. The argu-
ment advanced by the speaker in
most parts we're not materially
different from the republican posi-
ton. He laid the blame upon the
republican party for the Bennett
law issue which is chargeable to
the free thinkers of Milwaukee on
one side, and the bigoted relig-
ious elements of the Lutheran and
Catholics on the other. The tariff
is a business proposition purely,
and both parties are divided upon
the best plan to pursue; the repub-
lican majority holding to protec-
ton while the democrats oppose
that view. Upon the war he failed

PECK IS ELECTED.

Republicans Lose Five Congressme1

Wisconsin Witnesses Political Upheaval Which
Engulfs the Republican Candidates Everywh here

Milwaukee Sentinel: The result
of Tuesdays election in Wiscon-
Sin was as much a surprise to
Democrats as Republicans. They
did not count on such a sweeping
victory. The new election law de-
layed the returns greatly Tuesday
night and never before have they
been SO late and SO meager on ell
ection night. The terms of the
Cooper law seem to have been
very generally misunderstood, and
the new method of voting was not
satisfactory to many. The reports
show that mistakes were numer-
Gus and a large number of ballots
failed, in consequence, of being
counted. Even early returns
showed Democratic gains in the
state and that, too, where they
were least expected. AS they con-
tinued to come in the possibility of
Peck's election became more prob
able and by yesterday morning it
had became only question Of
majority. DR.. Anderson and
Chairman Wall, of the Democratic
State Central committee, last night
claimed it would reach $1,000,
and while it is not at all likely to
be SO large, it is large enough to
have thrilled the hearts of Demo-
Gratis; Lutherans and Catholics as
never before.

BOTH CLAIM 1T.
Hoard May Be Elected by a Small
Plurality.
Peck Falls Behind His Vote Last Spring
in Milwaukee.


The Milwaukee Sentinel COM
ments on the State out look as
follows Milwaukee city has
gone Democratic, though not as
sweepingly as last spring, when
the Republicans carried but three
wards of the eighteen. They have
carried three additional ones at
least, as shown at midnight by
returns from ffty-four election
precincts give Hoard o,72o votes
and Peck 1890, a plurality of
1910, indicating that Peck will
have about 5000 plurality in the
city, as against nearly 1000 last
spring.
The towns, as far as heard from,
indicate about an even vote, SO
that Peck has probably carried the
county by 5000.
Bechtner is elected state senator
in the Fifth district over COLI
kaGseen, and in the Seventh the
vote is so close that only complete
returns can decide.
Of the twelve assemblymen, the
Republicans have probably elect
ed four and perhaps five.
RETURNS FOR THE STATE.
The returns from the state at large
were never so slow in coming in
owing to the difficulties of count
ing under the new ballot law. Re
turns enough have been received
to indicate the election of congress
men as follows: First district
Cooper Rep; Second district, Bar
wig Dem; Third, LeFollette Rep.
Fourth, Mitchell Dem; Fifth, Brick
ner Dem; Sixth, Clark Rep.
Seventh, Thomas Rep; Ninth, Nc
Cord Rep. This makes change
of one congressman, Mitchell sue
ceeding VanSchaick. The legis
lature will be Republican on join

Senator Spooner.

to explain that it was democratic
and free-trade war. He also omit
ted to explain that our great need
Of revenue was owing to that dem
ocratic and free-trade war. Mr..
Goggins, though very fair in his
views as expressed, stopped just
at the proper place to leave his
hearers infer that his view was cor
rect. This occurred in a number
of instances but was invariably
where the two great parties divide
politically. His school argument
was wholly in favor, practically, Of
the public school system, and no
division of public funds with any
religious body. One point he at
tempted to make and failed in, was
that the vote of the South was not
suppressed. The reader has but
to look over the table of figures
on page $40 of your blue book
where you will find the record Of
voters for all states, and there you
will see that Mr.. Goggins' state
ment is absolutely contradicted.
For example, Wisconsin has two
senators and nine congressman.
Her voters number 354,oI4. In
1888 Cleveland received I55,232,
Harrison I7o,553, Fisk I4,277,
Streeter $3.50, making a total of
3546I4, a full and complete vote.
Well, take Mississippi, she has
seven congressman and two sena-
tors; her voters numbered in 1880,
238,53I, and must have increased
several thousand by 1888. How
did she voter Cleveland polled
S5,47I, Harrison 3o,oo5, Fisk 21s,
Streeter p. total II5,8o7. Of the
total vote 1923 are colored.
We say the colored vote is almost
completely suppressed, and the
Force bill must be passed. Again,
compare Georgia and Michigan
and the result is still more start
ling and villianous. Now look
over the school record of Wiscon-
sin in comparison with any south
ern democratic state. Wisconsin's
school population numbers $780,
oo3; Georgia 5o8,IS7; Wisconsin
paid out in 1888 for her public
schools S3,64o,Ioo; Georgia, same
year, only sSo3,S7o. But Mr..
Goggins evidently overlooked a
search for such a showing. The
Wisconsin blue book for 1889, on
| pages 1876, $40, 341 and 543 will
furnish every one the records OF
each state and their public history
in this line. However one fact
still remains that the new public
questions and issues are invariably
met, advanced and carried by the
republicans and invariably opposed
by the democatic party. Such
are politics. Mr.. Goggins' effort
in behalf of his side was compli-
mentary and satisfactory to all.
His address was earnest and pleas
ing. With a few more years Of
experience and investigation we
believe he will make satisfacto ny
republican.

OF waste by leaving their implements
stand out doors than from any other
cause. We are aware there is a
create loss In this direction In Kan
sas and the prairie states, but this
does not apply to the East, where
agriculture is as improbable as it Is
even In Kansas. The New England
farmer houses all stock and nipple
ments, and yet thousands of farmers
there have left their farms and have
engaged In mining, manufacturing
and other calllngs to earn a livelihood.
If the price of lumber could be re-
duced to a reasonable figure, it would
enable Kansas farmers to build sheds
for their machinery. The beef COM
bine, by one simple turn of the screw,
can rob the farmers in one day OF an
amount sufficient to buy a number OF
cutlivators and horserakes, and this IS
called "business." -Allidnce Tribune.
