The sentiments expressed above vii
be freely subscribed to by our people
regardless of party divisions. Mr.

interests of the people of his distric
and the state has been long since rec
opnized and conceded. Wisconsin sure

tires he Justly deserves to have said o.
him, "Well done, good and faithful ser
