FISHER FOR STANLEY
Whom He Has Known for a
Quarter of a Century
WANTS NAVY INCREASED
Will Sustain President MCKin-
Iey's War Policy

NJ. John Fisher. probably the best-known
Democrat in sedgwick county, who has
held several official positions and who was
the first Democrat ever to be elected to a
county ofice IN sedgw.ck county, will cast
his vote for Hon. wv. z. Stanley 70 gov
enor. NJ. Fisher served two years as
sheriff.
Mr.. Fisher. havs heard that you intend
voting for Mr.. Stanley for governor. Have
been correctly informed?" asked an Eagle
reporter.
Yes. sir. I have been for Mr.. Stanley
from the day he was nominated"
What do you think his majority will be
in the state?"
Il put il at 20 900. This is the way I
look az it: Two years ago you could see
knots Of men on every corner. II you
stepped up, al you would hear was Is TO L
Leedy went in on the Bryan baud-wagon
His great oratorical achievements ha d the
people stirred up 10 fever heat = Ka7sas
This is lacking this year. Why, I thought
then that the money power,-if they fast
ened the gold standard onto this country,
were forging shackles Of slavery onto me
and my family. Subsequent events have
shown me that there IS plenty of moa.y =
gold. silver and greenbacks being eqGaL
You don't hear anything mentioned OF the
money question now. Another thing IS that
the people, I believe, intend 10 sustain the
president on the war question. The nation
and congress clamored for the president TO
recognize the beIligerency. He was slow
10 act, and how much better that he was
50. Instead they are now a free people.
The great victory, with such a small loss
OF life, shows his great wisdom. Had We
lost, or had we sustained great loss Of
life. IL would have been President Mckin-
ley who would have had to shoulder the
blame. I believe there are enough Silver
Republicans, Populisys and Democrats who
have the patriotism, which is further reach
ing than any state issues. They Will vote
the Republican ticket
u want to see our navy increased as
much as the resources Of our country will
permit. think they have better use than
70 be used to pillow corn. 1 expect to see
the whole Republican ticket elected"
How long have you known Mr.. Stan
ley?"
For a quarter Of a century. 7 am going
10 vote for him for several reasons. He IS
q personal friend of mine. He has done
business for me. and because was in iti-
CATION he did not rob me with excessive
fees. He is an honest man, a lawyer who
stands at the top Of the bar. He will
know immediately when a bill is sent TO
him 10 be signed, whether it is constitu-
tional or unconstitutional He Will not have
10 have the attorney general come in and
give him advice. Mr.. Stanley is friend
10 this city, knows her needs. and VIII do
all in his power to promote her interests"
DO you think he viii carry this county,
There is no question OF it."

CLERGYMAN SAID TO HAVE BEEN IN

The Chicago Herald says Milwau-
kee has secured a divorce from her
notorious marrying minister, Rev
Wesley A. Hunsberger, who has been
sent to Asburv Park, n. j.. 10 take
charge of a church. 1t would be a
pleasure to believe that the free and
easy matrimonial methods which he
has done so much to promote for
several years We're TO go East with
him.
The Milwaukee papers seem To be
quite at sea concerning the record OF
this man. One saws he has averaged
l 600 marriages a year and has even
exceeded 200 once or twice. No
estimate places the number below 500
marriages a wear. The minister him
self admits in an interview that the
fees which he received for marrying
runaway couples exceeded his salary.
he adds that his largest fee was a
couple of $50 bills, and as a rule there
was nothing less than So offered.
Milwaukee clergyman of course can
not be held responsible for the mani
fest Iaxitv of the Wisconsin marriage
laws. but there is a moral responsl-
bility Which-an officiating clergyman
assumes when he solemnizes mar
riage and which he should extend be
vond the mere ability of the groom 70
nav either So ora couple of $50 bills.
The clergyman should convince him
self that there are no valid obstacles
to the marriage before he performs the
ceremony. and this, it is apparent has
not been the custom in milwaukee.
Mere runaway school children have
been united for life; infants have
been welded TO old age; the ties O
