leaders OF Ills COuuuy, dllu
from a very reliable source we
are informed that even Mr.. Flint
himself admits that the chances
for earring his own county are
not good. Hans F'uley, OF Hay
ward, is said to be a candidate
for state treasurer, but this can
not be counted seriously. No
man from such hot bed of
corruption as has surrounded
Mr.. F'uley for the many years
preceding the political house
cleaning that was done at Hay
ward this spring, can expect to
have any following in a republi-
can convention. The candidates
must come before the people un-
trammeled by any such condi-
ton as surrounds Mr.. Fuley.
The gentlemen himself is I'M
doubtedly all right and personal
~ could not be objected to, but
he has for years been leader in
a gang of corrupt politicians
that has made his town and
county notorious, and above all
others Mr.. Fuley can be counted
as an impossibility. It can be
put down as almost certain that
the next state treasurer will be
from this immediate part of the
state, and it can also be conced-
ed as an established fact that the
Office will be given to a Scandi-
navian the same as it has been
for many years. Any form OF
political logic points to the candi-
date from this city as the pro-
bable nominee of the convention.
He is a Scandinavian American,
a man of ability and irreproach-
able character, and republican
in every inch of his body. The
people of Bayfield, county all
know him, and if they wish him
to succeed must give him rous-
ing send off and a solid delega-
ton to the Convention.
The TIMES does not believe
there is anyone in Bayfield, coun-
ty who would feel like opposing
Mr.. Clausen. The only question
is the necessary ENHANCEMENT of
every candidate for Office before
the state convention in the fac
tional differences that exist in the
state. We suppose every candi-
date would be delighted if he
possibly could do so to hold aloof
from the governorship matter
and paddle along on his own
account. Mr.. Clausen in any
event ought to have no home
opposition. Every Washburnite
ought to feel that they have an
interest in the contest, and to do
whatever they possibly can to
secure the honor to the city and
to our neighbor.
Mr.. Clausen believes that in
the interests of better state
government Senator John M.
Whitehead, of GAINESVILLE, should
be the republican nominee for
Governor, and has cast his lot
with the branch of the party that
stands irretrieveably pledged to
return Senator John G. Spooner
back to the United States Sen
ate. Of course there may be
those who differ with Mr.. Clau-
sen upon the Governorship
question, but even those will
have to respect him for declar-
ing his exact position, even
though that position may not be
| in accordance with their views.

BAYFIELD, COUNTY AND THE STATE
CONVENTION.

AS the time approaches Tor the
holding of the Republican State
convention the attitude that Bay
field county should assume ought
to be thoroughly considered. In
the recent contests throughout
the state, brought about by the
Congressional conventions, it has
been the policy of republicans,
so far as possible to eliminate
state issues from the contests.
This course was wisely = we
believe, followed in Bayfield,
county. The reason for this is
that the congressman are Of
ficials of the federal government,
and if they have made good
representatives, and kept aloof
from the factional differences of
the state, as nearly all of them
have, then they should stand-as
they have, on their merits before
the people, without being hamp-
cred by the differences in the
party throughout the state. In
the Eleventh district there was
was no contest against congress-
man Jenkins, and the supporters
of both political factions, gave
him their undivided support
In Bayfield, county the represen-
tatives of both factions have
Joined hands and elected an in
structed delegation to the con-
gressional convention. There
has been the feeling throughout
the district-and the state, too,
for that matter, that one thing
at time would be enough for
the republican leaders and the
people to handle.
Now we are up to the state
convention-what are we going
to DO about it!
THE TIMES believes that never
before in the history of the coun-
ty has a state convention pre-
scented greater opportunities for
this county than the one that
will be held at Madison, July Is.
The simple reason for this is
that we have candidate for one
of the principle state Offices that
he has frst-class chance of win
ming. The most important ele-
ment that will contribute to his
success is a united support at
home. The political conditions
of the state are already pretty
clearly defined, and the situation
may be summed up about in the
following manner: In Dane
county, the home of Governor
I4aFollette, Nels Holman is a
candidate for state treasurer.
Mr.. Holman must carry the
county against the governor or
he cannot go before the Con-
vention. Without any discredit
to Mr.. Holman it is safe to say
that Governor LaFollette will
have his own county, and in this
event the candidacy of Mr.. Hol-
man will be disposed of.
Mr.. Holman is undoubtedly
the only serious opponent to Mr..
Clausen for the nomination.
There are good reasons for this
that may be stated. There
are certain principles that gov
ern the make up of a state
ticket. and it is conceded that
should Mr.. Holman fail to beat
Governor LaFollette that the
nomination for secretary OF state
or state treasurer should come
to the far northern part of the
state. 1t may just as we'll be
admitted that Mr.. Holman will
not receive the reward of the
Dane county delegation, which
everyone must concede to the
Governor for the reason that
nowhere in the state is he strong
er than in that particular county.
These are the reasons that the
Office will likely come north. In

BROTHER YATES Of the News

BROTHER YATES Of the News
announces in his last issue that
henceforth the News will be a
republican paper. Gradually
the News has been coming
around, and The TIMES takes
pleasure in welcoming the new
convert into our political family.
The News has stood by hope
less cause for many years, and
finally gives up the ghost of dem
ocracy. The announcement
which appeared in the last issue
of the News was brief but to the
point. It was as follows:
A Change
Owing to the fact that from
this time on the editor of the
News will affiliate and act with
the republican party this paper
will hereafter be a republican
paper, and will support the nom
inees Of the republican party in
the county, state and nation.
The change is made for the
reason that the republican party
is on general principles, in our
Judgment, the best for the peo-
pie as a whole, is the party Of
progression and advancement
and comes nearer than any other
representing the principles we
believe to be best for the coun-
try.

The republican state conven-
ton is to be held at Madison on
July Is. Some of the papers
are attaching a good deal of pol
itical significance to the fact that
the Governor has changed the
place of holding the Convention
from Milwaukee to Madison.
The TIMES cannot see it that
way. The only objection to
Madison is that it is not as good
a town as Milwaukee to go to,
and besides it is short on hotel
Accommodations. The Madison
people intend to form out those
who attend the Convention into
boarding houses and students
quarters. That may be all right
for Madison but it will be rather
unsatisfactory to the delegates.
AS to there being any political
Importance attached to the
change-why we believe that to
be all in the peoples eye.

spondent referred to has to say of one
particular district.
ITO the Editor of the Leader-The
rush of the land seekers will be TO the
prairie provinces of the Dominion OF
Canada. The allurements Of soil that
yields 40 bushels of wheat to the acre
are too great to be resisted and an
immense migration from this country
may be confidently predicted. People
here laughed at first at the idea OF
any one leaving the United States for
Canada, but the Dominion authorities
knew they had good thing and they
stuck to II. Their officials evidently
knew the value of printers ink. They
spared no expense in letting the people
of this country know that these lands
were there and that they were exactly
as represented. They did more. They
sent out specimens of the crops raised
and samples of the grain. We have
had them here at four consecutive
street fairs, presided over by one of
their ablest immigration officers. This
gentleman spared no pains. He ex-
planned the value of the lands and the
richness of the soil from morning TO
night to all corners.

eral went up from here to spy out the
land and like Caleb, the son of Je-
punneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun.

some ten families will leave here In a
few weeks for Saskatoon to settle upon
farms there, and others are preparing
to follow. OF course many will appear
shocked at the idea of any one leaving
the stars and stripes for the Union
Jack, but patriotism is but nomen-
clature after all, and our experience
has been that in nine hundred and
ninety nine cases out of a thousand a
man is the most patriotic where he can
make the most money and do the
most harm to those whom he hates"
