Didn't Name I Them.

Shullsburg Pick and Cad: Adver-
Using by means Of portraits has be-
come very popular with patent medi-
cine men and many of the newspapers
nowadays are regular picture galleries.
Some editors however are are very
careless. Now there is Brother Hunt
ington Of the Plattcyille journal; he
gets up first class paper and is usu-
ally very careful, bat last week he
published four portraits and he failed
to accompany either of them with any
explanatory reading matter. He only
printed the name under each portrait
and forgot to state what patent mcdi-
cine they were intended to advertise.
As Z result Of this neglect on his part
the readers Of that paper are wonder
ing whether Mr.. James Brown took
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup or
"Castoria" and whether the portrait
of Mayor j. IL. Cabanis was intended
to represent "before taking Mellen's
Food and if so, when the ..after tax
ing" portrait will appear and
whether he will look as plump as Mr..
James Brown. Other readers of the
paper will wonder whether the por-
traits of Rev. Luce and Rev. Trous-
dale was intended to illustrate the
wonderful curative properties of
''Duilcy's Malt Whisky" or Smiths
Lightning Corn and Bunion EXTERN
inator.n OF course none of the
readers will never know unless the
journal explains and the advertisers
will receive no benefits from such
uncertain advertising. Both the
advertisers and the readers of the
journal should demand that that
enterprising paper be more explicit

Political Gossip.

Milwaukee journal: There was a
gathering Friday Of the faithful about
Robert NJ LaFollette at the old stamp
ing ground of the santis, the
Plankington House The little fighter
who conducted the bitterest cam
paign for a nomination in the history
Of the state was greeted warmly BY
some of his chief lieutenants and per
sonal friends who talked politics and
other things with spirit indicative
future activity in opposition to the
machine. y
Mr.. LaFollelte during the early part
Of the morning was interested in a bu-
siness matter; then he conversed with
a representative of the Journal and
after that he received Henry j. Baum
gaertner, upon whom many demands
have been made by individuals to be-
come an independent candidate for
mayor; Theodore Zillmer, Mr. LaFol-
lette's most ardent supporter in the
Tenth ward and others.
There is not the slightest doubt that
another whrlwind campaign will be
made by the LaFollette- Hoard wing
of the Republican party and final
struggle for supremacy in Wisconsin
will be made. 1t is fact, too, that
matters have not assumed definite
form within the wing Of the party,
though there has been considerable
preliminary preparation. Mr. La
Toilette is still in the political game
and will be found at the head of his
division when the battle comes, though
he will not be the candidate for the
governor. 1t was against Mr. La
Follettc's personal wishes that he was
the candidate for the nomination
against Governor Scoficld last time.
The LaFollette men believe that
GOV. Scolield is going to make a trial
for the nomination for the third time. |
and they will be prepared to resist
such 4 movement, though the tactics
will be different from those employed !
during he last contest. Mr.. LaFol-
lette claimed in an interview with
journal representative not to know
the significance of the action Of |
George Buckstar of Oshkosh in fav-
oring the nomination of W. A. Jones
foa governor; in fact, he claimed not
to have been aware that Mr. Buck
stan had been favoring Mr.. Jones
This what Mr. LaFollettc said to a
journal man:
Il have been so busy that | have
had little time To devote TO politics |
In fact, have been extremely busy
in my law practice; so busy that
have been unable to attend to all the
matters that have come TO me, but
have been compelled to call upon three
other lawyers to aid me. So, you
see, | know practically nothing OF
what may be going on in the political
game. However, will say that |
thoroughly enjoy politics; there is
sociability about it that | like. What
do | know about Mr.. Buckstalfs ia
voring W A. Jones for governor?
Well TO be candid, did not know
that such was the case Mr.. Jones is
aA excellent man. No | don't know
anything about combination with |
the Babcock forces
That there is movement for 4
Observation-Disclosures mbnaton is be-
lieyed by some of the best informed |
leaders of the party. 1t certainly |
woud be a very strong combination.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1899.
The Exact Situation.

We think it is due to the Demo-
Gratis of the county that u statement
should be made, setting forth the
facts concerning Mr.. Moss's nomi'
nation by the Democratic convention
on Sept 30th, because of certain re-
marks that have gone forth and Ger.
tain impressions sought to be made.
There has been talk of u "trap laid
for the Democrats, caught in trap,
nominated a Republican, etc. The
facts are these: When Mr.. Moss's
hame was suggested to tho COM
mittee who recommended him the
question was asked by II member OF
that committee whether Mr.. Moss
would accept the nomination as the
Democratic candidate of the coz
yention I Those who wero author
lied to speak for him gave an un-
qualified answer in the affirmative.
To be still more certain Mr.. Moss
was communicated with ut once by
Telephone aud the report brought,
that if nominated by the Democratic
convention he would accept, pre-
sumably upon Democratic plat
form, as Democrats would be scarce
ly expected to adopt other than a
Democratic platform. With dis
tinct understanding, therefore, the
nomination was duly made and car.
ried unanimously, and IN good faith
SO, whether the Democrats noml,
mated "a Republi ian" our readers
can Judge. AS to Mr.. Moss's accep
lance, they can also Judge, rs the
correspondence between Mr.. Moss
ard the committee appointed tt
notify him is published.
This is, we believe, the situation
exactly. We understand that Mr.
Moss claims that he did accept tht
nomination in his letter. The COM
mittoe thought the language not OK
plicit, and addressed another whicl
has not been answered up to THU
writing.
