The Free Press announces the can
didacy of Nelson w. Fisk for the Of
flee of lieutenant governor. Mr..
Winslow of the Board of Agriculture,
whom many had wished might ac-
cept the Office, declines to run, and
the next choice seems to be that of
Mr.. Fisk. He is a resident of Isle La
Motto, where he has beautiful home
and runs fine farm, and large
quarrying business. He is what may
be called ''good fellow" and has
good standing wherever he is known.
He has had experience ia both houses
of the legislature, and is a good bust
ness man. The Free Press has the fol-
lowing: sHe has not asked for sup
port, nor shown any eagerness to be-
come candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor. In fact, it is the truth that he
has up to this time resisted a very
considerable amount of pressure from
many quarters, urging him to permit
the use of his name. His candidacy is
thus an honorable one and every way
creditable to him. His name when
placed upon the ticket, will add
strength and popularity to it; and
when he is elected the Office will have
sought the man, and it will be
source of qualification to many in
other sections of the State that the
good Island county has at last been
recognized by the bestowal of an i'm
portant elective State Office"

President Hagerty Calls Meeting at st.

CHAPLArxs OF THE GAR: A Convention
of Chaplains will be held in st. Paul the even
ing after the parade, to consult as TO the best
methods OF work and TO encourage one another
i'm the good cause. Each year few have been
in attendance at these Conventions, but not as
many as should be present. Ii was thought
last Fall if we were TO enlarge the constituency
OF the Association so as TO INCLUDE the Post
Chaplains they would he interested ana at
tend This WAS done cheerfully, with that OBJ
ject in view.
Now. NAV we not look for large turnout at
the next meeting? Can it be that the very
men OF all Others that should have the GOOD oil
the O. A. L. at heart will fail to be ia line when
duty calls? Is office simply pertunctory
affair, or is it for the accomplishing OF real
good? We believe the founders OF our Order
were wise In having the Chaplsin's office reeog-
nized as one of the essentials in its government
and success.
We profess 10 believe that God rules and
governs this world, and notices the actions OF
men and nations. Shall we, then, treat this
office as If it had simply to do with some I'M
aginary being who cared for none of these
things2 Comrades let US be consistent, and
act as we profess faith. 1t will certainly do Us

My observation is that the Office of Chaplain
is one of commanding influence, when it is
filled as il should be. Just as it was in the
army. when the Chaplain was a goddess, drink
ing, card playing fellow, the comrades laughed
at him, and made him a football for Jests and
ridicule day Ia and day cut But when he was
good man, picus, consistent in all things true
20 his professions and calling, such a Chaplain
is revered to this day y the men. So II is in
the O. r.. as ] have observed. j am glad TO
be assured that our Order has been benefited
BY the lives aud influence of good men who
have filled the Office Of Chaplain. whether IN
Post IN Department or in National councils
Our work is a limited one IN time and men.
Those who IN our Order have stood the
test OF fire, have grown gray in service. and are
now on the decline. We cannot speak to them
many times more. They will soon be mustered
out. We ourselves will soon ne on the other
side in the great catSping-gronnd. Let US he

selves, and our discharge will be honorable.
