Men Formerly Accused Of "Boodlin9''
Seek 10 Secure BuCkmaster's
Defeat al the Polls.
with B 1clxnaster Retired from Office, the
Charges against Caster Might
be Dropped.

1t is reported ia the city this mora
ing that an organized effort is being
made to defeat Albert E.. Buckmaster,
the Republican candidate for the Office
of District Attorney, for the purpose
of getting rid of the Doodle" cases
which are now pending in the Circuit
court. 1t is stated on the best author
ested in the trial Of the cases stated
this morning that ne would contribute
$500 to the cam paign fund to secure
the defeat of Mr.. Buckmaster 1t is
also stated that the delay in the
hearing Of the case against John Gas
ter in. the Supreme court is being made
for the sole purpose of holding the case
until after election ia order to give the
friends of Caster chance to secure
Buckmaster's defeat. 1t should be
remembered that Calvin Stewart, who
is the candidate against Mr.. Buck
master, is an attorney of counsel in the
preliminary hearing of these cases be-
fore Court Commissioner Hastings.
This action on the part of few peo-
pie to secure the defeat of Mr.. Buck
master can be looked upon in but one
way and the voters of the city who
have been approached by agents Of the
alleged boodlers on the subject have
promptly reported that matter to the
county chairman.
The fearless manner in which Mr..
Buckmaster fought against the alleged
doodle" gang certainly recommends
him for reelection. The fight for
municipal purity has just been begun
and 1t is most necessary that the attor-
ney be allowed TO finish the work
started
The defeat of District Attorney
Buckmaster would undoubtedly open a
way for victory for the defendant in
the briberyscases and would forever do
away with any schance for other ar
rests ia the case. Mr.. Buckmaster has
worked this case without extra pay
from the county and although fighting
against fearful odds hesnlanaged to
bring one Of the accusednmen before
the Supreme court of the state.
The people of the entire county who
favor fairness and clean municipal
officials cannot allow the "gang" to
compass the defeat of this official.

ARRANGE BETTER SERVICE.
Special Attention is Being Given to Tourist
Steering Cars.


The trans-continenta1 lines have
been making extensive efforts lately
to improve their service to and from
the Pacific Coast, the latest develop
ment announced being that the Per
sonally Conducted feature of the Chi
.cago & North Western and Union
Pacific service is to be expanded and
extended to include personally con-
Quoted excursions to the Coast twice a
week from Chicago via Omaha. Den
yer and Salt Lake City, in addition TO
the three week now operated to the
Coast via Omaha and Cheyenne. This
gives the tourist chance to iov the
most beautiful scenery that Colorado
affords, the route being through Colo
RADIO Springs, past Pixies Peak and
via the Royal Gorge, Glenwood
Springs and Salt Lake City. This.
with the two tours a week via Chew
enne and Ogden to Sacramento. San
Francisco and Los Angeles and one
week to Portland, makes five person
ally conducted excursions per week
from Chicago to California, Oregon
and Washington.
This personally conducted feature
has expanded wonderfully in the last
few years. The service has steadily
improved, so that Pullman tourist
sleeping cars have all the conveniences
of the standard sleeper and are partic-
ularly well adapted to the use of family
parties and those who desire economy
in travel. With the low rates now in
effect to the Coast, this branch of the
service promises to be very popular in
deed, and will doubtless enable ttous-
ands to visit the Coast who otherwise
would have been unable to go. These
thousands will incluoe a large per-
centage of people who hope to find on
the sunny slopes of the Pacific place
where life's hard struggle may be
made easier and where a competence
may be gained with a small invest
ment in fruit raising or some similar
occupations; to which class is added the
invalid who finds in the far West the
dry and ba1my air and sunshiny DAYS
that bring health and strength that
the East failed to provide.

INTENTION OF VOTERS.
Important Decision of Supreme Court VIII
Guide Election Inspectors

Guide Election inspectors.
An important decision which will
serve as a guide to election inspectors,
was made BY the Supreme court Tues.
day in the case Of the state on relation
of Horace R1odgett against P. Fl.
Eagan, assessor Of the town Of Brook
field, Waukesha county, in which an
order is entered ousting the latter
from his Office and awarding it to-
Blodgett At the last April election
Blodgett and Eagan we're candidates
for assessor Of the town. Eagan re-
ceived 153 undisputed ballots and
Blodgett 152. There were two ballots
upon both of which Blodgett's name
was written opposite the printed name
of Eagan, but the name was not
crossed out. The canvassers threw
out both ballots as invalid. The clover
court found that it was the intention
Of the voters who cast their ballots to
vote for Blodgett, but held that under
the law the ballots were void. This
decision is reversed by the Supreme
court, Justice Bardeen, who wrote the
decision, saying:
"The doctrine of all cases is that
the intention of the voter as gathered
from the ballot itself or from sur
rounding circumstances of a public
character, is to control. Ballots
which fairly and reasonably indicate
the realization of the elector are to be
counted as cast, unless to do so ruus
counter to some statutory enactment.
A ballot is to be construed in the same
way as any other written or printed
document, and the construction must
be such as to give effect to the voters
intention if that can be ascertained
from the face of the ballot
The voter shall not be disfranchised
because of mere mistake, but his in
tention shall prevail, and the printed
name treated as though it had been
| erased. -

INGALLS, AT MUNSTER.
Large Crowd Attends the Republican Rally
at New Munster.

at New Munster
The Republican County Candidates
invaded the territory of the enemy
last Saturday evening and held a
rousing meeting at New Munster.
More than hundred people gathered
at the town hall to hear the discussion
of the issues of the State and county
campaign and the meeting was one of
the most enthusiastic ever held at New
Munster.
Several of the Republican candi-
dates made short speeches but the ad-
dress of the evening was delivered by
Wallace Ingalls,, of Racine. He spoke
especially on local and State issues.
He declared himself in favor of John
G. Spooner for United States Senator
and showed that the election Of Gov
ernor LaFo1lette for a second term
could not result in the defeat of Sena-
tor Spooner. THE people of the
State,'' he said, fare in favor of Mr..
Spooner and all the Governors in his
tory could not change this sentiment
Mr.. ingalls, made quite a sensational
statement in regard to the candidacy
of Mayor Rose, claiming that the rail
way interests were pouring money into
the Democratic Golfers to secure the
defeat of LaFollette.
The turn out at New Munster was so
large that the Republican candidates
seem to think that the Western part of
the county IS safe in the Republican
column. The candidates will be at
Bristol this evening.

Large Crowd Greets the Republican Cam
didates Monday Evening
The town Of Bristol is in line for the
Republican candidates and a great
crowd gathered at the opera house in
the village Monday evening to greet
the candidates for the county Offices in
their jaunt about the county. A hard
rain prevailed all evening, but not
withstarding this fact two hundred
people from the village and the sur
rounding territory turned out to hear a
mastery discussion of the issues of
the campaign by the Hon. G. e. Buell.,
of Madison, Assistant Attorney Cen
era1 of the State. A. r. Cornwell. the
Chairman for the town Of Bristol, pre-
sided at the meeting and introduced
the speaker.
In his address of an hour Mr.. Buell.
took up all the issues of the National
and State campaigns and made a
strong plea for the reelection of the
candidates of the party. He made a
splendid explanation of the pledges Of
the party in regard to the primary
election and taxation reforms and
pledged the Legislature to carry out
these reforms if the Republican candi-
dates were reelected to Office.
Other short speeches were made by
county candidates and all were re-
ceived with great enthusiasm. There
is no doubt but that Bristol is in line
and will roll up the normal Republican
ma jority for the whole ticket ssfrom
Toilette down.

In addition to this there are some
special charges to be made against the
different counties for the State chart
table and penal stitutions, for school
district loans and for special loans to
towns, cities, villages and counties.
AS Marathon and Shawano counties
have not yet made their full reports
on school district loans, the complete
levy of special charges is not known.
Owing to the fact that the last 1egis-
1ature changed the fiscal year of the
State, making it end June 80 instead
of Sept. 80, the special charges for the
State charitable and penal institutions
are for period Of nine months only,
instead Of for the full year.
With the exception of the special
charges for school district loans, the
r pecial charges levied this year as
compared with those of year ago, are

AGRICULTURAL FAIRS.
(From the Poultney Journal.)

We rote that the press of the State
has taken up the discussion of fairs
started some weeks ago by the Journal
and we trust that this probing of the
subject will not be without profit. Large
sums Of money are collected by these
alleged agricultural exhibits. but the
benefits that flow out TO the farmers
is not very apparent. From our stand
point it would be just as profitable for
the people OF section to mutually agree
upon a place and date and all meet there
with lunch baskets and 'hoss feed and
spend the time gazing at each other. and
discussing the latest political gossip and
the most approved styles of feminine ap-
parel. 1t would be necessary of course
to notify some montebanks three cord
monte artists balloon professors with
n fair sprinkling of fakirs to be present
and guy the crowd. The show would
then he complete and no essential feature
would be lacking excepting the race" and
that could easily be supplied by turninl
loose a few shaved and creased pigs
Seriously, however. What was there,
for instance, In the late fair held at Fair
Haven, that benefited those in attend
ance They had a stout man there a
rope walker, two one legged artists, n
half drunken professor" who sailed sky
ward n carefully selected assortment of
fakrs, and so on, but what encoura cement
was given to agriculture? The premiums
we're small, compared to the purses given
the horses In the poultry department a
few roOsters challenged attention by their
clamor, a few Dorkers snooZed in their
pens a very few cattle were shown, but
their number was go small as TO excite
pity rather than grief. The truth is that
the conduct of our fairs is not in the
hands of those interested in agriculture,
hut the "horsey" sporting element: and
the object of the fair is not to benefit
the farmers but to fleece them: to attract
the rabble. and as side whisper give
some small premiums to the farmers
while the horse professor" pockets the
purses, and the managers gloat over the
fat balance left after the granEers are
paid their pittance
We trust that the press of the State will
keep up this discussion until public at
tention is directed to it. and that the
s"arChlight Of publicity may be turned
upon those fakes that take so much from
the farmers without returning them any
cOmpensating benefits

BURGLARIES IN YERGENNES
Small Amount Of Money Taken from
Three stores Other Business Places
Tried-Gang OF Experts,

Vergenncs, Nov 2l.-Thursday night the
stores of C. S. Haven, w. r. Warner and
N. j. McCuen were entered and small
sums of money taken from each. The
entrance to Ravens store was made by
removing the glass from the side door
and by the same method through the rear
door at Warner and McCusns. The safe
at Warmers store which Is never locked
was opened and the shelves and drawers
pulled out. Evidently in search of secret
drawers. The papers In the desk were
evidently thoroughly examined as they
and the papers in the safe were found
strewn upon the floor when the store
was opened. Half burned matches were
found scattered upon the floor near the
desk and some paper burned to a crisp
where the matches had been dropped up
on 1t.
The papers in McCuen's desk were also
rumaged. The work was evidently done
by an expert as it appears the glass from
Haven and Warmers store door were TAX
en- out by the use of suction jimmy.
The burglars tried to effect an entrance
through the rear doors and windows of
the stores of Juba Daniels and o. G. Dali
rymple & Son on Main street but after
taking out the glass were defeated In
their attempt by the wooden shutters.
1t is evident that they also tried to enter
the store of C, A. Booth & Co.. but for
some reason gave II UP.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
From the burlington Clipper)

Vt TOT" VIC 1'1'f III > VVII O'PPVf'7
We hear a good deal tommy-rot and
sanctimonious drool in favor of a repeal
of the capital punishment law. Not one
really meritorious thought has as yet been
eXpounded in favor of a change. The St.
Adams Messenger and a few other Sun
day school leaflets have attempted to
show that with the capital punishment
law off the statute books our chances with
the hereafter are better and our appetites
keencr without bitters. Just what Yer
mont would gain by presenting her muir
derers in State prison with button hole
bouquets is not quite clear to the logical
mind and we doubt if our friends who
are so anxious to get out of the rope
business can offer a good reason for it,.
OF what use to society q murder has
ever been or can be made to be needs ex-
PLANTATION before our law makers decide
to keep him along at the public expense!
