1.-THE gathering of politicians which
the Masonic meeting and other mat
ters attracted to sMilwaukee devel-
oped an interesting bit of political news
II is that boom for Assembly Arthur
William Mcleod OF Washburn, Bayfield,
county, has been started for the purpose
OF landing him in the senate. Macs
friends are advancing him as candi-
date for the position now held by Sena-
| tor Lamoreux of Ashland of the 18th
district which includes the counties OF
Ashland, Bayfield,. Iron, and Sawyer.
! He is the youngest member OF the legis-
lature and is very popular among the
statesmen who go down to Madison.
His most ardent friends outside his own
district are assemblymen Tom Alc-
Grath and Gil Vandercook.
Next Tuesday the Goth special
election will be held for the purpose of
voting on the question of borrowing
money from the state for the purpose OF
paying the outstanding Indebtedness OF
the county and placing it on q cash ba-
sis. We understand that the county
board went over this matter carefully
and that the amount they proposed to
borrow, thirty-6ve thousand dollars,
will not only pay all the Indebtedness
hut will leave sufficient balance to
to place the county on q cash footing
That this will be good thing for the
county there can be no question. BY
doing this the county will save the en-
normous costs made in putting orders
into judgement. AS every one knows
who has ever looked the matter up is q
big item. In all Of the judgements
held against the county the costs
mount to over one fourth of the amount
OF the orders put into Judgement These
judgements bear interest at six per
cent while If we borrow tie money from
the state we will only have to pay from
three to four per cent. We should by
all means put the county on a cash basis
aud then see that our county boards not
only keep it there in the future but
shall run the affairs of the county In an
economical and business like manner.
