delegate jumped up and moved that
Dr.. Farr be made the unanimous
choice of the convention for mayor
The chairman put the motion that
Dr. Farr be the next candidate for
mayor and it was carried in that
form, as were all the motions on sub
sequent nominations.
The vote on city clerk was just as
solid as was that for mayor and Gus
Jacob came up with comfortable
twelve votes for that position, and he
was made the next candidate for
city clerk"
The first office for which there
seemed to be any show of contest came
up in the city treasurership. The IN
formal ballot on this showed Wash
bish, z; Melville, 4; and Craney, 1.
The formal ballot came out with Wash
bish, z; and Melville, 5; and Washbish
was made the next candidate. /"
On the assessorship the informal
ballot gave John Gaffney, 6; and John
Harrington, 6. On the formal ballot
two deserted Gaffney and ran to Har-
rington, which nominated the latter
by to 4 votes.
There was a little surprise party
sprung in the justiceship. Everybody
had been led to suppose that D. Con-
way Lloyd would get that, but on the
informal ballot James Pennefeather
showed up with 5, Lloyd with 3, John
Gillett with 3, and Frank Mathews
with l. The formal ballot settled it in
favor Of Pennefeather by giving him s,
Lloyd l and Gillett 3.
Not q very large crowd had gathered
to witness the work of the convention
but those who were there departed al
most to a man at this point.
The convention then proceeded to
the election of a chairman Of the city
committee. The informal ballot on
this came out witch w. w. Strong z,
and j. c.. Slater 4. Strong was declar-
ed elected. The remainder Of the city
committee was made up as follows:
First ward, James Fhben; Second
ward, John Dozenmagen; Third ward,
T. j. Gottfredsen; Fourth ward, Will
Schend.

b The north side, and mainly the
Second ward, took almost everything
there was in sight at the democratic
city convention Thursday evening.
Three of the six candidates put up for
city offices came from that ward. The
other two nominations in the gift of
the convention went to the First and
Third wards. The Fourth ward was
given no show whatever.
Without doubt the whole conven-
ton WIS one of the most peculiar as
semblages which ever was called to-
gether by any political party in this
city. When it came to enthusiasm
there was just about as much of it there
as there would be at a funeral. Only
once did the attendants upon it so far
forget themselves as to cheer, and that
was when it was announced that John
n. WashbiSh would be the next can
didate for treasurer" 1t was very
apparent that all the work Of the con-
vention had been cut and dried. If it
hadn't been it would have taken some
thing more than one of the prophets of
holy writ to have told where the con-
vention would have come out.
At about 8:13 p. m. the convention
was called to order by Col. Strong, who
read the call and cautioned the dele
gates about making a good ticket
since it was to be the winning one.
Mat Goergen was elected chairman
and F. j. Gottfredsen secretary. AS
soon as the chairman took the chair
he called for the nomination for mayor.
One of the delegates bobbed up to
move that committee on credentials
be appointed. With q suspicion that
that must be correct the chairman pro-
ceeded to name the committee without
trifing with the mere formality of
putting the motion to see whether or
not it was the sense Of the meeting.
The committee appointed consisted Of
Mat Brady, John Dozenmagen and
Christ Weier. After looking over the
credentials the committee made a
written report that it found all the
credentials correct, but did not seem
to think it necessary to state who the
delegates we're Everybody under
stood what was not officially noticed,
so there was no battle to be fought,
much to the comfort Of the onlookers,
who some times are sticklers on minor
parliamentary points.
The appointment of tellers came up
on motion before the chairman had re-
covered from the shock Of the first
motion and that was settled by the
naming of Christ Weier and Carl
Friedrich.
Then came the motion for an in
formal ballot for mayor. This having
been taken it was announced by Sec
rotary F. j. Gottfredsen as standing
solid for Dr. Farr There was a long
pause in which the chairman appar-
emily waited for applause, but it did
not come. One could have heard pin
drop block away, not out of awe but
out of respect for the chairman whose
announcement was awaited. But there
was no announcement made and after
the silence began to become painful a

Good Roads and More Taxes.

There is very unusual interest this
spring in the good roads movement and
the subject of better country roads Will
probably be taken up at almost every
town meeting in the state this spring.
The friends of the good roads move
ment have grown wonderfully in num-
Der, and the only objection to their
agitation which has been heard, is the
claim that we cannot get better roads
without increasing our road taxes.
Farmers declare that they are paying
enough taxes and that they will fight
tooth and nail against any effort On the
part of the good roads cranks to make
them pay more road taxes.
The good roads men, on the other
hand, declare that there is no intention
on their part to increase the burden of
taxes which the farmer already bears.
They claim that Wisconsin farmers are
today paying great deal more in the
way of road taxes than is necessary to
build the best kind of roads all through
the state. They point to the fact that
built by calling out the farmers to do
the road work, the town meetings have
voted an extra tax to buy road ma
chimes. This last tax Of course has
been paid in money. Now, the good
roads men tell us that it is unnecessary
to have both these taxes, that the reg
ular annual road tax is large enough
for both purposes, and that if it were
paid in cash, it would bring enough
money into the town treasury each year
to make an investment in road ma
chinery and to leave enough on hand
to do the usual amount of road work,
so long as this work is honestly done,
and whole days labor is obtained for
a whole days pay. They claim that
by this method town can buy new
road machine each year, and later on
can purchase stone crushers and road
rollers, and in the course of five or ten
years, macadamize all its main roads.
The plan advocated by the good
roads men has been tried in q number
of Wisconsin towns, and it is claimed |
that the system has given the greatest
of satisfaction. In the town of Middle
ton, Dane county, it is claimed that the
road tax has been reduced to ne-third |
of what it was in former years. and |
that this smaller tax, because paid in
cash and properly expended in system
attic work, has produced much b6tter /,
results in one year, than the old tax,
three times as large, had made posi-
BILE before. The towns of Oregon and |
Westport, in the same county, the town
Of Turtle, Rock county, the town of
Baraboo, Sank county, the town of
Clinton, Rock county; the town Of JEFF
fe1son, Green county, and number of
others are pointed to to prove the truth
of this statement
If this is true much can be said in |
favor of the new road law and the sys- !
TEN which it has introduced, and per-
haps a few more Of our towns will |
adopt it this spring.
