there is for him heart and soul. He
is one of those kind Of fellows who
always likes to be accommodating to
people. I say he likes to be ac-
comodating because it would not be
natural for him to be any other way.
You can always tell the difference
between the man who is accom-
odating because he expects to ask
some favor of you at some time, and
the man who is always willing to
put himself out to do some thing for
you because it is natural with him. -
The above seems to be the almost
universal opinion among those who
know the republican nominee for
county treasurer. Mr.. Wilkinson
has been cashier of the Lumber
mems Bank of Bayfield, for several
wears, and has served his town as

The Senator.

It is a source of local pride that
the nominee for Senator, from the
twelfth district, which is one of the
largest and most important in the
state, is a resident of this city Re
publicans could have done no better
than to have selected that citizen
soldier, Captain William O'Neil. He
is veteran of the Union Army, aud
in 1898, when the black cloud of war
cast its gloomy shadow over us, he
organized and took Company K, of
this city, to the front. For two
terms he represented this Assembly
district in the lower house of the
legislature. At different times he
has been Chairman of Washburn,
and member of its school boards.
His ideas are sound upon matters of
state legislation, and as his election
is a certainty, he may oe looked to
to do good work in Madison the
coming winter.

he is running without opposition.
He is clean, capable young man

after the interests of the district.
There is not much danger but that
he will be elected under the circum
