burn, and largely through his
efforts the WaShburn Loan and
Building Association, of which
he has been secretary for over
six years, has become one of the
models along that line, and pre-
sents one of the handsomest
showings of any similar corpora
ton in the state.
He has always been rather
aloof from the factions that have
existed in the party, and has al
WAYS been harmonizer between
the different elements. When
Governor LaFollette first became
a candidate for the republican
nomination Mr.. Clausen was one
of his supporters, and in subse-
quent campaigns he was loyal to
the Governors interests. He
has been a delegate to most of
the state, congressional and other
conventions for many years and
helped to nominate Mr.. LaF'Ol-
lette last year. However like
many others in like situations he
has been rather disappointed in
the administration, and is a firm
believer in the ability and great
ness of Senator John G. Spooner,
but is not one of that class
of republicans who would
sacrifice the interests of the
state as a whole to the gratitica-
ton of any mans ambitions.
Mr.. Clausen is a quiet, digni-
fed gentleman, is happily mar
ried, and has coy home in this
city. He is member of the
Congregational church and one
of it's trustees. He is also a
member of the Masonic and Odd
Fellows lodges, and has been
through the chairs in both or
ders.
The candidacy of Mr.. Clausen
will undoubtedly receive a unani-
nous support in Bayfield, county.

MILES. sCHLEY. DEWEY. EFT AL.

WALTER WELLMAN makes the
announcement in the Chicago
Reco I'd Herald that General
Miles will be. candidate for the
presidency before the next
democratic national convention,
and that he would like to have
either Dewey or Schley for vice
president. We hope the pro-
phecy of Wellman will come true,
as there has been so much said
about the military and naval men
that it would be a very good
thing to get them into a political
campaign to find out just exactly
what the people think of them
and in a campaign is where those
things usually come out. Gen
eral Miles was a great Indian
fgeter in the early days, but in
recent years he has fourished
in the display of great punches
of peacock feathers while on
dress parade, and about the
only duty he seems to have had
to perform as the head
of the army has been to
find fault with the different adj
ministrations, and to stir up bad
messes in official circles. AL
together he has proven himself to
be good deal Of nuisance, and
it is very fitting that he should
have been "dressed down." and
"combed down" by President
Roosevelt in a public manner.
Schley is a great hero before the
country for the reason thatwhen
a great battle was fought the
commander in chief was away
from the fight, and the captains
did as Sampson had told them to
do. OF course we all love Dewey
for the heroism of Manila Bay,
and the American public are
quite kind enough to forget
mostly everything else he has
done since returning home. In
times of war these men may all
be all right, but in the hours of
piping peace" they are inclin-
ed to appear most Of the time in
the attitude of disturbers.

In. CLAUSEN FOR STATE TREAS.
URER.

Within the past few days a
movement has been inaugurated
in this city to bring out Mr.. L. n.
Clausen for the office of state
treasurer, and Bayfield, county
will ask the next republican state
convention to name him as it's
nominee. Tt is pointed out that
Bayfield, county has never asked
for a place on the republican
state ticket, and except in the
nomination of Honorable Ora
ham L. Rice to the position of
Railway Commissioner the far
northern part of the state has
never been represented on the
state ticket. Mr.. Clausen was
ask ed about the matter today,
and he said that he had not con-
scented to become candidate for
the position, but that the matter
had been frequently preached to
him within the past few days,
and if it was the wish of the re-
publicans of Bayfield, county that
he be candidate for the place
he certainly would enter the
race, and do everything possible
to secure the nomination. There
is no doubt that the more pub
licity given the matter the great
er will be the sentiment through
out northern Wisconsin that Mr..
Clausen is the logical candidate.
He combines all those elements
and characteristics that go to
make the ideal candidate, and the
Tenth district ought to hurry to
fall over itself in advancing the
candidate whom Bayfield, county,
with it's hitherto modest preten-
sions, will put forth. Of the
county's claim to recognition it
may be said that it is one of the
strongest and mostloyal counties
in the state. Fifteen years ago
northern Wisconsin republicans
found it mighty difficult work to
carry any elections, and here in
Bayfield, county there was
democratic majority. It was at
that time that such men as Mr..
Clausen and other prominent re-
publicans were instrumental in
redeeming the county. His abil-
tiles as a political organizer
were put to a test when in 1892
he was elected as chairman of
the Republican County Commit
tee, and in that year in one of the
hardest fights that has ever taken
place in the county he succeeded
insecuring a republican majority,
which, though small, was emf
nently satisfactory and pleasing
to those who had looked upon re-
publican success as impossible.
Two years later he was again
chosen as the Committee chair
man and was equally successful
in his management of county
politics. He was again called to
take charge of the County Com
mittee in 1898, and is still occu-
plying that position.
Mr.. Clausen was born in Nor
way, October 5, 1855, and when a
young man emigrated to this
country and settled at Fergus
Falls, Minnesota. He worked at
common labor, meanwhile secur-
ing an education that later fitted
him to become a public school
teacher. He attracted the atten-
ton of Ex-senator w. D. Wash
burn, of Minnesota, who was
then a congressman, and through
Mr.. Washburn's recommends
tion was appointed postal clerk
on the Northern Pacific railroad
in 1882. He also was postmaster
for time at Dalton, Minnesota.
He was one of the earliest resi-
dents Of Washburn, and taught

SENATOR WHITEHEAD'S talk
before the Monday Club at Madi-
son on the subject of taxation,
was a strong and masterful argu-
ment. Mr.. Whitehead is one of
the best posted men on taxation
in the state of Wisconsin, and
has always been a Jealous advo-
cate for equal taxation. There
has been a demand all over the
state for Senator Whitehead for
Governor and this has developed
into a genuine boom since the ad
dress was delivered at Madison
Senator Whitehead is conserva
tive, able and thoroughly con
scientious, and no better selec-
ton could be made in the entire
state.

bill providing that the death
penalty be inflicted upon anyone
who attempts to kill the Presi-
dent, Vice-President, or those
high officials in the line of sue
cession.
In dealing with the violent and
rabid species OF human being
known as the anarchist, there is
no room for sentiment. For the
we'll being of American society
and the safety of the men chosen
by the people to occupy the high
est stations of executive author
ity, deterrent influence should
be exerted against those who
would plunge a nation into grief
by the use of the bomb, the pis-
tol, or the knife. The elimina-
ton of those who openly avow
hostility to civilized government
and it's administrators will at
least have the salutary effect of
cutting off a new generation of
social renegades.
Mr.. Jenkins bill, in view of
the recent bitter experience of
the Republic, and the ghoulish
jubilee of vocalistic anarchism
that followed, should be reported
from committee and passed.
The measure does not mention
the word anarchy, "but it seems
to deal effectively with those who
would seek to practice it.
Mr.. A. G. FROST, receiver of the
Washburn, Bayfield, & Iron River
railroad company, during his
visit to this city last week, sub
mitted to the questionings of one
of the Ashland newspapers, and
in a statement gave it as his opin-
ion that the easiest way out of
the Battle Axe difficulty would
be for Bayfield, county to pur-
chase from him the w. B. & [. r.
railroad. After this statement
no one will ever have the temerity
of accusing Mr.. Frost with losing
his nerve. The colossal gall of
such proposition is immense.
About the only interest of a
financial kind that Mr.. Frost has
or ever did have in the road, was
obtained through the bonds is
sued by the county, and in the
BAN boozling of the county out of
it's stock. Years ago Mr.. Frost
and others bought up labor
claims with the money they had
obtained from the county bonds
and put them into liens against
the railroad. When they secured
liens enough to freeze out the
county they did SO, and then
came the receivership; which has
always been in Mr.. Frost's hands,
or under his absolute dictator
ship and control. The great
trouble with Mr.. Frost's proposal
is that if the county should again
own the road Frost would likely
be after it again.

wild Horses In Russia.

wolves and bite and strike until he
has slaughtered a large number OF
