Gratis of Wisconsin cannot afford to
put a weak man in the field as their
candidate for governor. Some such
man as George w. Peck is necessary
to insure success. Cook, the stalwart
candidate, will be third in the race.
and it is going to take lots of work
and an earnest, honest support of
their ticket by Democrats to keep La
Toilette from again reaching the goal
of his ambition,
The Commercial Club and Driving
Park association Of Graceville, this
state, have pooled their issues and
planned for Fourth of July celebra-
tion never before equalled or surpass-
ed in that section of the common
wealth. Over $4,000 has been sub
scribed there for the purpose, and the
exercises will open on the I'd and close
on the 18th. The Graceville people are
splendid entertainers, and their fes-
tivities will be open to all the world.
Will Utah he in line? The admins
tration at Washington wants the Nor
mon vote; that is self-evident. In
spite of all the demands that the hear
ings in the Smoot case shall be prose-
cuted with vigor, it has been given out
that no further action will be taken in
this direction until after the Novem-
Der elections. Any attempt to crush
polygamy in Utah or to drive from
the United States senate one who is
charged with the same, will meet
with no encouragement while such
action shall in anywise endanger Re-
publican success at the polls.

After an adjournment of ten days,
the Republican state convention of H.
linois will again proceed in it's work
to nominate a candidate for governor
next Tuesday. Evidences again point
to a resume Of the deadlock. A COM
promise candidate will in all probable
ity be the final outcome, but whatever
the result the Republicans of Illinois
will go into the next contest in such
a demoralized condition as to give
hope for the redemption of that state
into better and more competent hands.
There is every reason to. believe that
Illinois will elect Democratic gov
ernor next November. With popular
candidate for the presidency, as now
seems certain, her electoral vote may
also be found in the Democratic COL
umn.

moment after and the old mans boot
will have the right of way. In a legis-
lative session when the final hour has
arrived for adjournment the clock
has often been stopped to allow the
passage of "a few more resolutions
and bill or two" and the legality of
the hour of adjournment is not ques-
toned. Whether this will apply to
other sessions such as the Missouri
jurist has passed an opinion upon, is
not known, but it is fair to presume
that tests innumerable Of the above
law will be made along legislative
lines.

into supporting non-residents is caus-
ing Superintendent w. P. Barton of
the poor department more or less con-
Germ, and rightly, too. In some in
stances other cities have deliberately
sent persons here to get them off their
hands, while some of the smaller
towns, Mr.. Barton is also convinced,
forward persons to Minneapolis and
expect this city to furnish transporta-
ton for them to some other place in
stead of the town in which they lived
paying the full amount. The superin-
