''that we may suffer more from the third party
in Illinois than the democrats will, but do not
see where there is any reason whatever to fear

Mr.. Forman and Mr.. Fithian both declared
tina, the democrats were going to carry Illinois.
There is going to be red-hot fight" they
said, land Cleveland is going to carry the state.
The great issue will be the tariff and along with
it there will be local issues which will give us
strength. Illinois has been steadily growing
democratic for some time, and the gains we
make are substantial. We are making strength
on the tariff Issue, we have popular candidate
for governor. while the republican candidate is
quite unpopular, and the school question which
the republicans are on the wrong side Of is
going to operate greatly to our advantage We
Will get the Lutheran vote on that ISSUE"

Mr.. Mitchell of Wisconsin said that he was
very confident that Cleveland would carry tina,
state. "We are going to make an active cam
paign there" he said, land the came things
which operated to give us the governorship will
be as potent again, and Cleveland is very strong
IN Wisconsin anyhow"
Mr.. Haugen admitted that the fight in Wis.

state. He said that he did not think that the
Lutheran school question was going to figure
much in the result of the national election and
that he did think the republican vote would

as much in fact, as the ordinary democratic
vote Of the state. The trouble was that our
candidate dropped far below the normal repub.

this time and that he will beat Peck. OF course
the democrats are greatly encouraged by their
perate effort TO carry the state again"

In the death of Hon. Sprague Arnold the
town has lost one of its Oldest and most
respected citizens. AS / saw his obituary
in the paper Of Jan. 14th, VIII not repeat
what has been well written, but Will give
a few incidents in his life which well IL
y Illustrates his character. He was man OF
sterling integrity, his word was as good as
his bond; thorough in business as the fol-
lowing will show. He once drew viii
for friend and one of the heirs was dis
satisfied and tried to break it. He cited
( Mr.. Arnold to Montpelier before his law
yer. Mr.. Arnold told the lawyer that the
I will was correct and legal in every partic-
ular, wrote it myself; the complainant
was told to go home and mind his own
bushes. He settled on a farm in 1924,
with limited means, but by industry ana
I frngality acquired a good fortune. ne
carried on his farm summers ana taught
school winters for many years was a sue
cessfuI teacher. A short time ago ne re,
lated to me an incident OF his sehooi
teaching. There was very unruly as
trict in Chelsea the large boys hau put
several teachers out OF the chool-house,
so the committee hired him. When ne
entered the room he noticed the large boys
eyed him very closely; after a whiie ne
says, now boys l want you TO atteho 70
your books, you need not watch me any
longer don't intend to do anything wrong.
The ringleader said toanother boy; shah
dare to touch himl that was characteristic
of him through life. He never intended
to do anything wrong. He was my quar-
dian ana also of my five younger prot -ers
during their minority. Surely good man
has gone down to the valley OF shadows,
like shock of corn fully ripe, in the Ssth
year OF his age.
