Names of Two Men Suggested
For Office of Mayor.
EITHER WILL ACCEPT THE NOMINATION.
The Announcement Comes as an AStoniSh.
ment.
BOTH MEN ARE PROMINENT IN BUSINESS.
Hope Of Partisan Municipal Ticket
Seems Very Far From Realization.
Agitation in Both Parties.

Quite a little commotion was caused
In local political circles by the announce
ment that John Plumb would run for
the Republican nomination for mayor.
A number Of Mr. Plumb's friends have
approached him and suggested that he
would be a good man to run for the
Office and assuring him that he would
have their hearty support, To the ear
nest pleadings of his friends Mr. Plumb
has given ear, and from present indica
tions, it looks very much like as if he
will be given the nomination.
Such action on the part of the Repub-
lican party will DESTROY any hope of Il
non-partisan mayorality ticket and it
will bring the office directly into par
tisan struggle, an object which the Re
publicans are working hard to attain.
1t had been hoped by some Of Mr.. Rahr's
friends that the present mayor would
be renominated by one party and en-
doYsed by the other, because il Is gener-
ally conceded that ne has made u cap
able officer.
Shortly after Mr.. Plumb's name as Il
candidate was announced certain men
interested in local politics called on
Ernst Wagner and suggested that he be
a candidate for the office Mr.. Wagner
told his friends that he was fattered by
thei" confidence in him, and that though
a busy man, yet he felt, if he was want
ed he would serve the people III the ca
pacity of mayor. Mr.. Wrgner is in no
sense of the word Il seeker for the place,
but he stands ready to accept any call
to honor and duty which the people may
make Such is Mr. Wagners position.

FEE BILL BEFORE THE
LEGISLATURE PROMPTED
IN MANITOWOC COUNTY

The marriage fee bill which was intro
duced into the Legislature by Assembly
man Willot was prompted, it is said, by
the present county clerk. The fee bin
means that one half of the fees means
that one half of the fee for issuing the
marriage license should be pocketed by
the county clerk, and the other half 60
to the county. This question came be-
fore the recent session of the County
board and local legislators refused to
allow any fee Through the bill, if it
becomes law, the County board will
be compelled to allow division of the
fee.

WE'D A MOST CONSISTENT LIFE.

The following tribute to the worth of
Gilbert Burnet has been written by an
old associate of his:
The death of the late Gilbert w.
Burnett is deserving of more notice than
the ordinary detail of fact given by the
| papers When the news of the tragic
occurrance which resulted in his death
became known there was u feeling in
the community as Of personal bereav-
ment
Mr.. Burnett came to this county in
1919 as stalwart young pioneer of
twenty seven. He settled in Kossuth
town and on two farms in that locality
where once stood the primeval forest.
there are fertile fields which silently
bear witness to his energy and industry.
iIcbnill his cabin and cleared his land
as did other settlers at that early dav.
But he was no ordinary man Coming
from his native Scotland with AN edu-
cation far beyond the average. with n
frank open expression and bearing
which convinced all who met him of
his strict integrity He was ut once
chosen TO fill yarions offices of honor
and responsibility in his town. He was
mt different times town clerk. super
visor and justice of the peace. The
writer who knew him for nearly
half u century ms no recollection that
he ever tried q contested case in the
latter capacity But he loved Justice
and promoted peace and many differ
enCe between neighbors was settled and
adjusted by his wise counsel and good
/ Judgment
The pains he took to inform himself
in regard to all public business with
which he was inrusted aud the uniform
correctness of his returns and report, az
a public officer made him noted rs II
competent efficient and influential man
in his locality In 1851 without any
solicitation and almost without his
knowledge, he was nominated and
elected county clerk and in 1859 was
reelected to the same office.
The same characteristics which
marked his conduct Of town business
were still more manifest in the larger
sphere of the county. He knew every
detail Of the affairs Of office and the
public records aud files were never
better kept than when in his charge.

cally every man, woman and child in the
parish. A procession was formed at
the parish hall and 900 young men,
women and children marched to the
church. Five hundred young women

He has eradicated much OF the lawless
element that once Hourished there.

congregation, will win for him the
praise of temperance people everywhere.

May FOUND
UNION STORES
Sentiment Among Miners
Is for Cooperation.
Business Houses May Be
Established by the Mine
Workers--Idea Not Unani-
mousIy Favored.

The action of the state senate in
hampering and delaying tho passage of
the bills proposed by the miners union
has aroused the mine workers through
out the anthracite region. The prob
able failure OF the company store bill
act, by which it was proposed to tax
these institutions ont of existence, has
caused the miners to look about for
some other method by which this evil
can be overcome, and sentiment in
favor OF cooperative business has set in.
The matter OF establishing general
stores in this region, under the auspices
OF the union, is being discussed infor-
mally by the members of the United
Nine Workers and the idea is gaining
many friends. 1t is claimed that such
stores could provide mine workers with
all they require at less cost than the
same goods can now be purchased.
The matter, II is said, will soon be
brought before the union for considera-
tion.
On the other hand, opposition against
cooperative stores has also developed.
1t is alleged by those who do not favor
the move that past experience should be
considered by laboring people before
they give their sanction to the founding
OF such stores. The same plan, it Is
said, was tried in this vicinity years ago
by miners union and met with failure.
What the outcome of the movement
will be is not known. 1t is certain that
II it comes before the union for discus
sion the question will be hotly contested
by Its advocates and its opponents. The
latter will have the assistance OF those
now engaged in business in the region
and such influence will not be an un-
important factor in the discussion
