x WORD to Dap.

Now Dan don't be too hard on us.
We are willing to apologize for ever
presuming to aspire to any Office with
out your consent. We were we'll aware
that the necessary form to GO through
in this county when desiring to be a
candidate, was first to obtain your per-
mission, and obeying that that time
horored precedent, we went to you and
humbly asked it, before coming out.
We did not obtain it, but we had stood
by and listened to your harangues
about "King Bob" who wanted to be
dictator until we had become imbued
with the idea that new era had
dawned and that you would not insist
upon your prerogative. We see that
we we're wrong.
1t must have proved quite shock to
such stickler for clean politics as
yourself to learn that one of the dele
gates from Minocqua had been tam
pered with, went back on his pledge
and betrayed the friends who elected
him. 1t might interest the public if
you would take them into your conf
dence and inform them just what argu-
ment was used by your friends to con-
vert him.
The fact that "three stalwart dele
gates from Eagle River" voted as they
were elected to vote and failed to be-
tray the people who elected them is
not due to the lack of effort on your
part to tamper with them, but rather
to their sense of honor and fair play
and it is no wonder that your failure to
corrupt them should make you sore.
Again it hardly comes with good grace
from man who has succeeded in get
ting as much as you have from the
state, county, town and individuals to
find fault with anyone for looking out
for himself.

Lakes Friday
Jas. Mckinley was Three Lakes
visitor this week.
The fire department were out yester-
day morning wetting down the back
yards to prevent any chance of a fire
starting from lighted match or
from the ashes of pipe. It is a good
move considering how dry everything
is.

titled to two delegates in the state con-
vention.

The Teachers Institute which was
held here this week has been the most
successful one ever held in the county.
The new subjects which were taken up
made the institute especially interest
ing. There were twenty-four enrolled.
The institute was conducted by j. c.
Graham of the Oshkosh Normal and
County Superintendent Higgins. F.
r. Parker, State Institute inspector
was also in attendance.
The hunting season opens on Mon
day, Sept. LIST. Partridge are reported
to be very abundant this fall. Much
illegal hunting is also reported. The
scarcity of game at the opening OF the
season is often to be accounted for by
raids of these hunters during the last
few days Immediately preceding the
open season. Every law abiding citl-
zen should constitute himself a game
warden for the repression of these sell
fish sportsmen.
