What Occurred During the Past Week as
Seen by Ye Scribe.
Manitowoc Pilot: The candidates for
office of Wood county, this state, both
republicans and democrats, have signed
an agreement pledging themselves not
to do any treating during the campaign.
Why is not this a movement which
should be patterned after by every
county in the state? The saloon has
been too expensive a factor in politics
and the system Of getting votes by
treating is demoralizing. Some people
flock about candidates for office as
wolves do about prey. The thing
should be stopped. The expense of
running for office Is such that poor
man cannot afford to make canvass
The man who mnst be treated in order
to secure bis vote should be disfran-
chised.
