Board of Canyassers.

The board of county canvassers, the
majority of whom are republicans,
have set al example which the incom-
ing democratic officials will do well to
remember. They have shown their
partisanship, thing contemplated to
be avoided in all the provisions of the
election law. The law says that the
result of their canvass shall be pub
lished in such newspapers as the board
of canvassers shall elect. The board
two years ago wisely determined to
have it published in two papers-one
democratic and one republican-one
at this end of the county and one at
the other. But the board this year
says that only republican newspapers
shall publish their findings; and as we
said before, it would be well that the
incoming democratic administration
bear these facts in mind Centralia
Enterprise.
Neighbor, when the democrats in
Wood county were in power they never
to our recollection recognized the
principle that you would now want the
republicans to recognize. They always
went upon the principle that "to the
victors belong the spoils." Ever since
the county was organized the democrats
have been in power most of the time
and we cannot recall oneinstance when
that party, or its officers, ever gave a
republican newspaper any patronage
except that which the law compelled.
The exception you make mention OF
two years ago was made by a board of
canvassers, the majority of whom were
republicans. The old adage, "When
the devil was sick, the devil monk
would be, but when the devil was well,
the devil a monk was he," represents
the Enterprises position.

LAUREN WARREN MANNED
HIS LEFT ARM TERRIBLY MUTILATED,
Member Caught Between Rollers of Corn
Husking Machine and Crushed to the
Elbow. Sad Accident.

Lauren Warren, who will reach his
twentieth birthday tomorrow, Nov. %,
and the younges. son of Mrs. Mary J..
Warren of this city, met with painful
accident Wednesday, Nov. Is, that will
deprive him of the use of his left arm
for life. Lauren WAS at work with his
brother Walton on the farm of one
John Mcclellan near Berlin when the
unfortunate injury befell him. Walton
owns corn husking machine and the
two brothers were helping Farmer Nc
Clellan in his work. A Berlin paper
gives the following account of The acci-
dent:
He was feeding the machine and in
some manner his hand, which was COW
cred by nitteD, was caught in be-
tween the rollers and before the ma
chine could be brought to stop the
arm was drawn in up to the elbow,
lacerating the flesh and crushing the
bones in terrible manner. The mem
Der was literally crushed to pulp and
SO tightly was it wcdged in between
the rollers that it was necessary to take
the forward part of the machine to
pieces before the injured man could be
released. Nearly half an hour was
required to extrieate the arm. Warren
was very plucky. however, despite the
terrible pain. To expedite matters be
took out his knife with his free hand,
opened the blade with his teeth, and
tried to cut away the hand at the wrist.
AS soon as the arm was extricated
from the machine, the young man was
taken into town, Berlin, and placed
under care of a physician. The sad
intelligence was at once telephoned by
long distance wire to the mother in
Grand Rapids, who took the first train
for Plainfeld, thence was driven across
country to Berlin reaching her son
Thursday night.
Mrs. Warren has written home that
the arm was amputated above the elbow
joint and that her son was getting along
as we'll as could be expected. No fur
ther trouble is anticipated if he does
not take cold in the arm. The boy was
moved to the home of his brother
Walton near Berlin on Friday and he
will be nursed there until strong enough
to be brought home to this city, prob
ably a week or ten days longer. The
mother states that no one was to blame
for the injury. it was purely accidental.
The sympathy of man, friends is ex-
tended to Mrs. Warren and the plucky
young man in their misfortune.

and Honorable Senator.
WEBB's CANDIDACY is WARMLY RECEIVED

The bale announcement that Judge
Webb would accept the republican
nomination and election as United
States senator, has been flatteringly
received throughout the length and
breadth of the state In fact, it must
be gratifying to himself and bis friends,
and far more than the most sanguine
admirer of the Judge could have looked
for. His candidacy is already assuming
large proportions, as indicated by the
few of the many sketches we have
selected from the state press:
JUDGE WEBB IN HIGH ESTEEM,
Judge Webb is one of that class of
men who make friends and always re-
tain them. There is something in his
sturdy honesty and judicial fairness that
ties men to him in bonds of steel Few
men can bring to themselves more loyal
supporters. In the middle northel n
part of the state. in which his circuit
lies, there is no one held in such high
esteem as Judge Webb. 1t is this which
makes his entrance into the senatorial
fight matter of moment.-Chicago

A Ieacher Who is Popular Among teacher

L. D. Harvey, elected state superin-
tendent of public instruction. is un-
doubtedly favorite among the teach.
ers of the state. He is a graduate OF
Milton college and was for long time
principal of the schools. and city super.
intendent, of Sheboygan. From that
place he went to Oshkosh normal as in
stitute conductor. Again he was chosen
to take the forlorn hope as president OF
the Milwaukee normal school, which
position he now holds. During all this
time, without regard to the position he
held, he has been an active and influ-
ential member of the state teachers as
sociation, of which he served one term
as president. 1t is an unwritten law
Of that body not 10 give the presidency
twice 10 the same person, OF he might
be president yet. During all these wears,
too, he has been in the institute work.
Very rare must those teachers be who
have not at some time come in contact
with him in this connection.
And this opens the way to the man.
His leading characteristic is a wise tact

LOOK OUT FOR JUDGE WEBB.

Formal announcement has just been
made of the candidacy of Judge Webb
of Grand Rapids for the United States
senate. The judge will not make any
personal canvas, but his many friends
are quite sure to see that his interests
are not neglected. Judge Webb is one
of the most stalwart republicans, level
headed and high-minded men in the
state. His splendid equipment for the
senatorship will not be disputed. We
are of the opinion that his candidacy
will be an important factor in the cam
paign. He has long served with great
acceptance upon the bench. He has
not been identified with any contro-
versies in the party He has wide
acquaintance, and all who know him
respect his marked abilities and stead
fast integrity. The other candidates,
good men and deserving all, will do
well to not forget that Judge Webb has
consented to the use of his name.
Under the existing political conditions
In this state it is Il name TO conjure with.

days of coaching. However, the con-

a battle royal, furnishing plenty of ex-

IN THE FIELD,

The Sentinel of this morning pub
fishes portrait of Judge Charles M.
Webb together with statement by
that distinguished iurist to the effect
that he is in the field for the United
States senatorship in the sense that he
will accept the position if elected but
that he will make no movement in that
direction himself. 1t is as "a dark
horse" otherwise compromise candi-
date that the especial champions OF
Judge Webb hope he will win, Well,
whether dark or light, if he does win
the state of Wisconsin will have another
senator of whom it will have every
reason to be proud-a man of brains,
learning, integrity and an attractive and
strong personality. His election would
uuite the republican party and win for
it the continued and perfect confidence
of the people because of the universal
belief that he would dedicate his ener-
