DEMOCRATS AGAIN ON top.
| MAYOR MOAK is DEFEATED
BY EDWARD RACEK.
Watertown Returns to the Democratic Fold
Contests-Vote of the City in Detail.

One of the liveliest municipal cam
paigns ever taking place in Watertown
closed with yesterdays election. In
fact, it was without doubt altogether
too lively for the success OF the Repub-
licans, strong partisan appeal being
made by the Democrats, and the re-
suit being that party lines were drawn
to a much greater extent than last
year, when Mayor Moak was elected
by 134 majority. The tables were
turned completely around Yesterday,
the majority for Edward Racek being
227. The vote was considerably lar
ger than that of a year ago, and the
Democrats left no stone unframed to
make every ballot count. Ferdinand
A. Kruger, Democratic candidate for
treasurer, also defeated his opponent,
Jacob Ditschler, but the latter ran ex-
cellently, Mr. Krueger's majority being
only 294.

Mayor Moak leaves the mayors office
with an excellent record for efficiency
and fairness behind him, and his fail
ure to meet an endorsement from the
voters may be attributed to the. simple
fact that he Is a Republican running in
a Democratic stronghold. The newly
elected mayor, Mr.. Rack, served the
Third ward faithfully and capably as
alderman for several years, and he will
no doubt prove equally valuable in the
mayors chair. All good citizens should

Complaints which have been rife

trict Attorney G. W. Sloan, of Juneau,
and DR.. A. H. Hartw1g, of this city.
Some OF the cattle were found in a
deplo orable condition, while others
seemed to be as good as could be
desired. 1t was apparent to the Wis

panied Supt. Whitehead to the farm to
secure information on the existing
state of affairs. Dr. j. l.. Scott, Of
Beaver Dam, the state veterinarian,
was also present. 1t was the latter's
opinion that with q sufficient quantity
Of good feed and diligent care most of
the stock could be brought to an i'm

These gentlemen were shown the
milk account of the Howards from the
creamery with which thev did business

was 80, which is considerably above
the average.
The Howard farm is known as one of
the finest in this section. 1t consists
of over 800 acres, and is said to be
worth $50 900. The owners have raised
cattle and horses extensively for many
years, always breeding to the best
stock. The existing circumstances,
however, seem to indicate that they
keep more stock than they can take
care of.

The Republican party has this year
declared in favor of the readoDtiOn of
an old American policy Of protection for
our ships in the foreign trade. 1t is
proposed to exact a higher duty from
imports in foreign ships than is exact
ed from imports in American ships
This policy is described as that of dis
eliminating duties.' The first act Of

the discriminating duties act was re-

and free trade has ever since been in

ships carried 66 instead of 20 per cent of
our foreign commerce, loss of % per

MICHIGAN IN DISTRESS"
Message in a Bottle Picked up off
Waianae Saturday.

y good sized pickle bottle, pick.
! ed up off Waianae Saturday after
noon, was found to contain "a let
ter dated of Niihau, May 9TH, :
the contents of which were to the
effect that the bark Mohican was
in distress off Niihau. OF course
the fact that that vessel arrived
safely in port last week put a stop
TO all fears.
Inquiry aboard the Mohican
yesterday brought forth the infor-
nation that the bottle had been
thrown overheard by one OF the
passengers who could find moth
ing better to do. He had written
the note to see where it would 90
TO and how long it would take
TO reach that point, but had not
stopped TO think of all the posi-
bilities that could have arisen.
One of the crew delivered him
self as follows: suppose we had
struck contrary weather after
that person threw the bottle over,
board, and suppose we had been
becalmed off the islands. Now
then if the agents at this port had |
received such news through the |
agency of a bottle, before the ar |
rival of the MOhican in port, |
there have been lot of
fun? 1t might have been we'll for
the person concerned to have
dropped a love message to some
unknown South Sea Island belle
rather than to have written the
message he did"
AS soon as it was learned by
the crew of the MOhican that a
bottle had been found with the
above mentioned message in it.
they waXed very wrOthy and
agreed that whoever perpetrated
the act was a Jonah and should
not be allowed to travel on a we'll
vessel for fear of
