If a thorough, practical knowledge of
the duties Of the office, gained by sever
al years Of experience, compiled with
adequate ability, trustworthiness and
industry, are prime factors in deter
mining the relative fitness Of a candi-
date for official position, there is no
doubt that the gentleman whose portrait
heads this article, is an ideal candidate.
Aside from his special fitness for the
position of Insurance Commissioner,
the fact that Mr.. Hazelwood may claim
JeffersOnf county as his home county,
having been for years resident Of it,
will undoubtedly awaken enough home
pride to induce the selection of dele
gates from Jefferson county favorable to
Mr.. HazelWood's interest. In the person
of Mr.. HazelWood, the young republi-
cans will have a characteristic repre-
sentative, while the older members Of
the party can easily forgive his COM
paratiye youth by virtue Of his perfect
qualifications for the important office

Much has been said about the mis-
takes of the Wisconsin Republican
League. The biggest mistake the
league has made. if any, is not in fore
ing the governor to call the legislature
in soecial session to reform the tax
laws. The Tax Commission now has
this problem so we'll in hand that a
satisfactory measure could be enacted
in a short time. With the tax ques-
ton out of the way the governor
would stand no show of getting re-
nomination. Merrill Advocate.

The Platteville Journal announces
the name Of Hon. j. b. Mccoy, OF that
CITY. as a candidate for,Railroad Com
missioner before the Republican State
Convention. It says. The journal
is pleased to announce that our fellow
citizen, Hon. j. B. Mccoy, will be a
candidate for the Office Of railroad
commissioner, subject to the Republi-
can state convention. Mr.. Mccoy is a
man exceptionally qualified for the
place and he is we'll and faVorably
known all over the state. This partIc-
Mar corner of the state has not been
represented on the state ticket for
some time and it would be a partic ular
courteous and gracious act on the part
of the convention as well as add
strength to the whole ticket, to have
a time-tried and loyal Republican from
this section on.
James B. Mccoy was born in Peoria.
I'll: came to Wisconsin in 1860 and
settled at Platteville; was sheriff of
Grant county for two years, and served
in the Assembly during the sessions OF

Resaca, Kenasaw Mountain and the
several battles in and about Atlantic,

march to the sea. His record IN the

and showed himself to be a safe and
conservative legislator. If due regard

Hon. James L. Malone was recently
the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. John Thauer,
LOG North Church street. Mr. Malone
is a candidate for the Democratic nom.
nation for Congress from the Sixth
district comprising the counties of
Dodge, Fond du Lac, Ozaukee, Sheboy-
gan and Washington. 1t is generally
believed that the Sixth is the invinci-
BILE democratic district, but if the
result of the vote casD in 1890 for Con-
gresham in the several counties that
now make up the district are to govern
ones opinion it is safe to put the sixth
district in column by itself as doubt
full. In 1900 Ozaukee gave demo-
cratic plurality of 993; Washington,
IS and Dodge 1888; a total of 2211,
Sheboygan gave a republican majority
of 367 and Fond du Lac, 1854 a total
of 1881, leaving plurality in favor of
the democrats of $50 votes, a change
Of less than 400 votes gives q reliable
republican majority. O. A. Wells, Of
Fond du Lac, is out as a democratic
candidate. 1t really seems that the
county that gave the largest demo
cratic majority in 1900 would have
the preference over county that gave
the largest republican majority the
same year, in the selection of a demo-
cratic candidate for Congress. If the
contest was limited to these aspirants,
there is no doubt that Malone is the
prefera BILE candidate. as Wells has had
trial as member of Congress and
his career cannot truthfully be said to
have been an eminent success nor was
it a fiat failure although he ratified
around terribly in seat that had been
occupied by such men as Charles
Eldredge ald Gen'l Bragg

HON, l.. e. CASWElL.

The Fort Atkinson Union and the
Watertown Republican are urging Hon.
L. B. Caswell as a candidate for Congress
in the second district. Mr.. CasWell was
seven terms a congressman, and one of
the best who ever represented WiscOn-
sin Observation-Disclosures Register.
The compliment paid to Mr.. Caswell
by the Register is we'll deserved. His
long service in congress, and the ability
and zeal with which he performed every
duty required at his hands are yet fresh
in the minds of his former constituents
and the people of the state generally.

ENTERED As SECOND GLASS MAIL MATTER.
The Highest Credit.

President Roosevelt is getting much
credit for the part he has taken In the
settlement of the coal strike and well
deserves il. Some other man might
have done as well in the position of
mediator between the warning factions
Of capital and labor but none could do
better. The wisdom, candor, pluck,
patience and sterling common sense,
with evident sincerity and determine
ton to reach the ground where the OPP
posing interests could meet, had an in
fuence upon both parties that could not
be resisted.
We give elsewhere opinions of various
public journals favorable to the course
pursued by the President. We have
noticed none of an adverse character.
Il would not be strange il there were
some such. These favorable express
sions are not confined to the papers of
bis own party. The act was not a par
tisan one. 1t was in the interest of the
whole people and party politics dropped
out of sight in the movement. Nor were
these favorable expressions confined to
the journals of our own country, Peo-
pie of other countries and editors Of
other countries noted the work of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in the great crisis, and
were not backward in showing their
appreciation Of the prompt aud vigorous
work Of our strenuous Chief Executive.
President Roosevelt has many times
shown his interest in the welfare of the
people, but never more effectively than
he has in the days and weeks devoted to
the settlement Of the great coal strike.
It's grand thing to have an able, hon
est Chief Magistrate who has the cour-
age of his convictions, who is not afraid
to step into the breach when a great
peril threatens the country, and one in
whom the people have the utmost con-
fidence.
Credit is due, of course, to other men,
those of official position and otherwise,
for the part taken by them In bringing
about the settlement 80 desirable to our
people and the great business interests
of the country. We would not detract
from the value OF their services, but
President Roosevelt has borne the brunt
of the contest, he was the trusted leader
under whose guidance peace came, and
to him is due the greatest praise and
highest credit.

situated on an island west of the Afr

by great number Of people, took to
ships and put boldly out on the high

time they landed on an unknown is
land, the famous spot which in after
years became the seat Of the Seven

landed safely the wise old bishops
burned the ships to prevent their fol-
lowers from deserving and founded the

Two Tragedies.

The dead body of Martin stanton, a
woodsman belonging 10 the II w
Marsh camp, was found ON the Eagle
Lake road in No. 7, Piscataquis county,
about 35 miles from Patten, Sunday,
and there are strong Indications that
there was foul play. hole made by a
revolver shot, pierced his head, his body
was considerably mutilated and the
pockets had been emptied of their con
tents.
Saturday, Oct. II, Stanton, who is IS
years old and a native OF the Provinces,
but who has lived the greater part of a
dozen years in Bangor, left the Marsh
camp for Patten He was believed to
have been accompanied by George Mills
of PASSPORT. 1t is claimed that they
were seen together at Lynchs camp and
again near Brawn's camp by sports
man. At that time Mills is alleged to
have been carrying revolver in one
hand and walking In the lead.
The body of Stanton was found about
three quarters of a mile from the point
where last seen by the sportsman, and a
short distance from the road Mills was
next seen at jefferson Mitohelrs camp,
where he is alleged to have exhibited a
time check for S72, payable to Stanton's
order, and a sum of money correspond
ing to that which Stanton possessed
when he left camp
The body of John McElwee, a timber.
land surveyor and explorer, well known
throughout AroostoOk county, was
found, Friday, near Umculus Lake, by
Andrew Byron, guide. A sum of
money which he was known to have in
his possession when be left Moro was
missing, his skull was fractured and
there was evidence that murder has
been done. The body was identified by
keyring on which his name was in
scribed. Coroner Robert Boyd of Lin.
neus, who is also physician, with
Deputy Sheriff Alden Gerry, Saturday,
viewed the body and decided that there
was good cause for an investigation
which was conducted with the assist
ance of County Attorney Shaw of Houl-
ton. DR.. Boyd found that the skull was
fractured, and in his opinion this was
the cause of death. The fracture might
have been caused either by blow or a
rifle shot. The body was moved to
Smyrna Mills where an inquest was
held, Wednesday The officers say that
McElwee was a man of some money,
with fine character and standing. His
friends claim that some time ago he had
trouble with man whose whereabouts
at the time of McElwee's disappearance
are being investigated by the officers.
