NOTES.
N. ~. OollIl'1I. ak l1ON lloU q SClS
gate to the convention, was evidently
! the power behind the throne who
pulled the string. He had not got
the machine fixed up in good working
order when the convention met and
at the time the first recess was taken
things were not running as smoothly
-, /, =, Il icI, fEharn an nm
der-current Of dissa tisfHctiOn. There
was some opposition to nominating
a republican for treasurer and Chris
| Wise had refused to allow his name
| to % before the convention for cOun-
ty clerk. and SO the adjournment was
taken to give Mr.. Colman time to get
things in shape which he very clever
| ~ did
Eagle River got her full share OF
the nominees on the ticket. OF the
nine candidates seven are from Eagle
River and one each from Minocqua
and Arbor Vitae.
The nomination of Mr.. Finger, re-
publican, for treasurer was a comics
sion of weakness on their part
Either they had no man in thell
ranks capable of holding the office OF
| else they had no man whom they con
sidered strong enough to defeat the
Republican nominee. Either way it
does not speak very well for the Dem
ocratic party OF Villas county
Mr.. Finger is TOO good imam and, we
had always supposed, to strong a
Republican to be found in such com
pany and we do not believe the mem
| nation will either benefit him or aid
the candidacy of that other gentle
man who was instrumentalin having
Mr.. Fingers name placed upon tire
/ ticket.
The ticket, as a whole, is a weak
one that should be easily beaten. For
that reason the Republicans are well
satisfied with the ticket.
An episode that served to eliver
/ the time while the committee on Gre
dentials were preparing their report
