An aggressive campaign has been
started by Mr.. Rose candidate fer COVER
nor.S He proposes to visit every hamlet
~'llage ana city of Wisconsin between
low and the day of election He has
chartered a special train and he COM
menced his iourneyings onTuesday.morn-
ing the first days campaigning was one
of hard work. Hundreds of hands shak-
en- and six speeches made besides arrang.
ing many of the preliminaries incident
to the trip about the state on his special
train is no easy task, but Candidate
Rose has been equal to the occasion.
When the size of the towns visited
and the season of the year is considered
the crowds greeting the mayor may be
considered large and reasonably enth
usiastic and interested. At Jackson the
mayor spoke to between 80 and 100 far
mers AT West Bend conservative es-
Inmates placed the audience from 800 to
500. AT Kewaskum there were $50 to
300, at Campbellsport about 200, and at
Eden 112
The reputation that Mayor Rose has in
the politics of Wisconsin as a campaig-
ner is merited. The echoes of last weeks
Democratic convention have scarcely
had time to die out; the scence and Incl
dents of this gathering of hopeful Demo
Gratis are still the subjects of discussion,
comment and criticism, and the politi-
cal wounds inflicted whatever their
nature, have not even been scared over
by times assuagement, yet the candi-
dates selected as Democracys leader
has started to campaign Wisconsin as it
never was campaigned before.
Within the space of few days Mayor
Rose has done what it would take men
of less vigor and activity weeks to ac-
complish. He has made out an itinerary
which covers Wisconsin from city to
city, town to town and hamlet to ham
let. He not only has arranged the trans
portation part of the programme, but
has prepared the speeches he intends to
deliver, has supervised the printed ma
terial he intends to have dis tributed and
has stocked his train with hundreds of
thousands Of pamphlets and folders to
instruct the Wisconsin voters how to
discharge their duties as citizens in the
election following this campaign.
With the same quality of self-reliance
that has characterized his political con-
tests in the past, with the conscious ness
that everything in his power that can
be done to achieve success will be done,
his departure from Milwaukee Tuesday
morning was witnessed by large nun.
ber of his political friends and support
ers.
