Mills Deals In SANDER.

Chicago Tribune: Mr. Mills also ly-
ingly charges the Bennett law with in
terfering with religion. Says he:
Our people are divided into religious
sects: If they were not state and church
would be destroyed. The democratic
party stood guard over the rights of the
people. A Methodist has right to send
a child to the Methodist school. Why
make a Methodist parent send child to
a Catholic school or an intidel SCHOOL,
This is even more shamelesslY false
and absurd than what he had to say
about the family. The Bennett law in
terferes with no mans religion. 1t does
not stand in the way of the teaching by
the father to his children OF any creed
he pleases, or of the establishment of
schools where any form of theology is
taught. When Mr.. Mills intimated that
Methodist children are to be sent to
Catholic or Ingersollian schools it would
have served him right il the audience
had told him to ''dry up right there
and leave the stand. The slanderer was
treated with to much courtesy.

HoAaD'S POPULARITY.

Sunday Sentinel: Voting contests
are sometimes deceptive, but in the case
of that which was concluded at the Ex-
position last night few will have the
hardihood to deny that the result is not
significant. At o'clock the ballot
boxes containing the votes which had
been cast for the most popular candidate
for governor were opened, and deyel-
oped the fact that Candidate Peck was
to use popular figure of speech. ''in
the soup" A total of 5.l74 votes were
cast, of which Hoard received 1924 and
Peck 1,940. Hoard's majority being
l. 1894 The polls had been open for
week, and no effort was made to boom
either candidate. Only a small proper
ton of the visitors voted, yet the
result showed that the great majority
of those who expressed their opinion
were 10 favor of the Republican eandi-
date for governor. and the champion of
the public schools. The votes were
cast by visitors both from the city and
from TIE interior of the state; and from
the tact that Mr.. Peck resides in Mil
waukee it was naturally expected that
he would receive large home endorse
ment, especially as no effort was made
to secure votes for Mr.. Hoard. The re-
suit therefore can only be construed as
spontaneous expression of opinion.

of boomers, and as such may be re-
gar1ed as one Of the many significant
political straws showing the trend Of
sentiment both in Milwaukee and the
state at large. AS an incident Of the
contest, Mr.. Hoard, IS the most popu-
lar candidate. will receive a handsome

he is sentenced to term of only one

A VESSEL loaded with iron ore was

water in Lake Michigan by peculiar
method. Heavy force pGmps were

that quantity is used for trade purposes,
leaving from twenty-four to twenty-siS

no doubt that ut least llalfof it is abso'
