Votes For a Lady.

Miss Jessie Favel, principal of the
Baskerville School, received nine votes
for County Supt. of Schools in the
Democratic convention held in the
Opera House Tuesday afternoon. 1t is
the first time in the history of Wood
county that a lady has been recognized
as a candidate for any office. Miss
Favel is a bright young lady with a
tirst-class record as teacher in the
county; an Oshkosh Normal School girl
and has assisted Supt. Lynch in his
examinations for several years. There
is no doubt she is well qualified for the
position and the courteous recognition
accorded her in the votes given was
certainly a compliment to her. Pitts
vile, DeXterville and Babcocl were
SOLID for her. "All things being equal'
her chances for success would have
been as good as any.
Miss Favel is not in any sense a
politician, or strong minded in the
ironical acceptance of the term so
common, but she has belief that the
women on school boards are more
effective, more practical and sympa-
thetic for the requirements than men
and just as capable. We expect to
know Miss Favel better in educational
circles, and give her hearty endorse
ment.

ANTI=BARNES DEMOCRATS.
Will Organize a Club at Kaukauna
With Thirty-Five TIenbers at
the Start

An anti-Barnes Democratic club is to
be organized at Kaukauna this week
ard will be strongly supported by a
large element Of the party. The move
ment has been kept quiet until after the
county nominations were made, for
obvious reasons, but now that the
campaign is fairly on, the Democrats
who do their own thinking will give
definite shape to their protest against
the congressman who has misrepresen-
ted his constituency and broken bis
pledges. A Democrat who is familiar
with the situation states that the club
has already thirty-fve charter members
and the membership will be increased
very largely when the organization is
completed. The movement will I'M
doubtedly spread over the entire
district. Brown county is ripe for it,
and the movement has the cordial
support of Ed. V. D. Casteele, editor of
the Standard. Kewaunee county is
also ready for a revolt against bossism,
and there the movement will have the
support of the New Era" and the
Banner" In Portage county the
'Rolink" will represent large element
who Will join the victims of broken
promises in support of the movement;
and in Appleton Chris Roemer and the
"Wecker" will not throw cold water on
such a project. All in all, it looks very
much as if a considerable portion Of the
Democracy of this district are willing
that Barnes should be permitted to
devote his whole time to the private
business so touchingly referred to in
that letter which he issued last spring
for the purpose of raising a cloud of
dust behind which to conceal his opera

MIR. FRANK BROWNS RETIRE
MENT.

AS noticed in the Statesman, Mr.. John
w. Hornsby with John o. Johnson and
Charles Huppertz as deputies, have taken
charge of the Office of county clerk, and
Mr.. Frank Brown has stepped down and
out, but has left behind him record of
which any man should be proud Frank
Brown has been for over 40 years success
sively district and county clerk of Travis
county, being reelected time after time
of party fights, and owing to
his well known ability and integrity.
He was born in Nashville, Tenn, June
26, 1888, coming to Texas with his par
ents in 1885, and to Austin in 1916. Mr..
Brown was early thrown on his own re-
sources and chose the printing business
in which to make a livelihood. In 1854
he was elected district clerk, which Office
he held until 1875, when he was elected
county clerk, and it is from this Office he
now retires full of years and honors. Mr..
Frank Brown takes with him into pri-
vate life, after this more than an ordinary
life time of public service the best wishes
and highest esteem of every man, woman
and child in Austin and Travis county.
Gould there be greater commentator of
any one? The Statesman heartily joins
in wishing him happy and fortunate
future.

or less extent. The first bill to be taken
ND by this committee will be the pension
bill, but as the estimate has already been
considerably advanced it is thought that
only q short time will now elapse before
it is completed, and that it will be IN
shape to present to the house for acton
shortly after the members of that BODY
assemble. In this connection 1t seems
to be the growing impression among, the
Democratic leaders that little or nothing
will be done by congress this winter aside
from the passage of the Appropriation
bills. They fear to precipitate strug-
gle over the tariff again by attempting to
force the pop gun bills, and as there seems
to be such a vast diversity of opinion in
the ranks over the question of obtaining
financial relief there is little likelihood
that any plan will be evolved whereby
such devoutly wished for consumma-
ton may be reached Of course it is to
be expected that numerous alleged "cure
alls" will be introduced by aspiring
statesmen, but that they will find an
eternal resting place in pigeon hole is
THE BOND ISSUE.
So far the bids for the new issue of
bonds have been all that could be desired,
at least so far as quantity is concerned,
the exact amount of the bids being as
yet of course an unknown quantity. At
the treasury department it said that bids
have been received far in excess of
the amount of the bonds to be issued.
This fact would indicate that the people
have little faith in the claim that is be-
ing so vigorously made by Congressman
Bailey to the effect that the bonds
are unconstitutional. As to whether or
not the issue will result in all
that President Cleveland and Secretary
Carlisle hoped for it remains to be seen.
For the first few days after the bond cir
cular was issued the Withdrawals from
the sub treasures were very heavy. At
present however reaction seems to have
set in and the withdrawal of gold has
about reached it's normal volume. 1t is
are in position to know that the acquisi-
asserted here by those who
ton of gold from the sale of bonds will be
sufficient to bring the reserve up to the
S1O0,O00,000 limit. No time is being
lost by the officials having the matter in
charge to promptly deliver the bonds as
soon as the bids are opened and the
awards made Relays of men are now
working day and night at the bureau of
engraving and printing, turning out the
blank bonds ready to be properly filled in
by the treasury officials. AS was stated
in Secretary Carlisle's circular the bonds
will be precisely the same as those issued
last February and as a result the amount
of work entailed on the bureau will only
be a small fraction of what it was last
spring, the same engraved plates being
used for the present issue.
