Congressman Minors Position.

The recent adjournment of congress
after busy and extremely satisfactory
session and the subsequent return home
of Congressman Minor of this district
gives an added interest to the congress
sional campaign which will soon open.
Congressman Minor takes the posi-
ton that, as he has served two terms in
congress and during that time has given
practical demonstration of what he
can do for the district, and knowing his
willingness to serve again in that capac-
ity if chosen, it lies solely with the
people to make the decision and that
canvass of the district on his part is,
therefore, entirely uncalled for.
His position is logical one and will
prove satisfactory to the voters. Unlike
man who for the first time makes the
canvass, his two terms of active service
speak eloquently in his behalf and are
more convincing than any arguments
that can be made or promises that
might be given.
as 81 Representative Vi luS ElSuGu
congressional district Congressman
Minor has been ali that his many friends
fist claimed for him. That he has
worked faithfully and well for the best
interests of the various portions of the
district is fully attested by the results
achieved under difficult and unfavor-
able circumstances. He is and has
been ali along in hearty accord with the
national administration during a critical
period and his vote in every instance
has been to uphold the administration
and the sentiments of his constituency
at one and The same time.
In fact his record in congress has
been one that meets with the approba-
ton Of the vast majority of the repub-
licans of the district and that approba-
ton will be satisfactorily shown when
the votes are counted this fall.-Green
Bay Gazette.

Prosperity.

A mans condition depends almost
entirely upon himself. Luck is but a
small factor to most men in attaining
wealth. Industry, perseverance and
good Judgment make the foundation
upon which a man builds well. The
first start in life of many of our great
men has been upon a farm. Opportu-
mites are as good at present as they
have been in the past. Fine hard
wood farming lands in northern Wis
consin adjacent to the Wisconsin Cen
trail Lines are still to be had at very
reasonable figures and on easy terms.
Build a home OF your own and be
happy.
