You'd the bounds at his profession. And
it can be said Of 3ut few men that they
are endowed equally with him in those
kindly qualities of heart which beget

ship
We believe Mr.. Brown viii be gladly
welcomed into the contest by many
democrats, who's judgment is that we
can not win by REASON of disaffection
among republicans, Tut must win. if at
all, by putting forward as our leader a
strong and clean nlan who can poll the
full democratic stfeAgth in this state.
There are many democrats who sin
cerely believe that Mr. Rose can not do
this, strong though BE may be, and is.
in the city of Milwaukee
The moves thus far made by the
republican state central committee
show beyond a doubt that Mr.. LaFol-
lette is relying largely upon democratic
votes. He is dong much of his cleo
pioneering by sending campaign litera-
ture to those whom he is pleased to
style 'fair-minded democrats +" 1t is in
the air that there are good many dem
ocrats who synlpathize with Mr. LaFol-
lette because they think him to be a
sincere reformer. They may be mis-
taken, but they are honest. Democrats
are rather inclined to be Independent,
and to scratch their tickets. 1t is unsafe
to iuggle with them. The only sure
way to unite them IS to put up a first
class ticket No democrat in the state
could object to Mr. Brown, or prefer
LaFollette to him. He would poll the
/ full party vote, and that is the one in
dispensible element of success this fall.
The fact that Mr.. Brown has, of late
years, been attending closely to his
business affairs, and has not taken any
large part in politics, should not detract
from his availability as a candidate, for
his friends here, both democrats and
republicans, know well that he has
always worried and wished for the sue
cess of his party ia every election, and
that he has oeen consistent and stead
fast democrat throughout all the dissen-
sions which have torn the party in
recent years.
| We sincerely believe that Mr. Brown
is, all things considered, the best candi-
date for the democratic party thus far
mentioned, land The surest to win just
because he is the best Sometimes, and
under come conditions; the best man is
not the best man TO win out. Bat such
is not the case in Wisconsin this fall.
We must have leader whom all demo
Gratis can safely trust. Brown is that
man.

Walking as an Exercise.

The Latin advice, Post coenam statis
sea passus mile nleabis,n / modify by rest
ing after every meal. 1t is pernicious
to strain an overloaded stomach, and |
would rather 60 without food than with
out walk. Obstacles increase the pleas
ure, vexations cannot dampen the
ardor for the luxury icoyet most. Rain
or shine, in every degree of heat or
cold, go, feasible, several hours day,
twice as long when my spirits are de-
pressed. In warm weather it may in
crease perspiration, but that is dis
comfort which must willingly be borne.
II. w Beecher said: "There are many
troubles which you cannot cure by the
Bible or hymn book, but which you can
cure by perspiration and fresh air. I"
External gymnasiums are scarce; golf
and most other outdoor plays require
some exertion of the brain. But when
we can give the mind complete rest,
and graduate our effort according to
our strength, Let those who are feeble
walk, at an easy gait, half mile, when
their muscles strengthen, a mile,-and
they will soon find the exercise pleas
ure instead of penauce; it viii dispel
the gloom which they Rugged
and their aches viii vanish. Air
is mans element; he has no more
excuse to refrain from walking through

The Hon. Neil Brown of Wausau has
announced his candidacy for the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor. Last
winter Mr.. Browns name was brought
forward in that connection, but he did
not look upon it with favor. owing To
the fact that his business affairs were
such that he could not neglect them by
entering actively into politics. Since
then his affairs have been placed in a
position that will admit of his becom-
ing candidate without sacrificing
them and he has informed those that
have been urging him to make the
race that he will consent to having
his name presented to the convention
and if nominated will make thorough
campaign of the state.
The announcement of Mr. Browns
candidacy is happy omen to the dem
ocracy. 1t indicates that the Demo-
Gratis of the state are awakening to the
opportunity and duty that confront
them and that they are not disposed to
remain inactive while few selr-seekers
are preparing to take possession of the
democratic Milwaukee News.
