JOHN STRANGE
OF OSHKOSH

Hon. f. Nj. Miner, of Chippewa
Falls, who was advertised to speak
upon the political issues of the cam
paign at the opera house in this city
Saturday night failed to appear and
in his stead John Strange of Oshkosh,
filled the date.
The speaker was greeted with a
large audience and while he made 40
profession of being an orator he proved
himself to be more interesting
talker than one-half of those who
come here advertised as orators. He
came to talk to the people from a
business mans standpoint and told
his experience as a manufacturer and
shipper with the railroad companies
His intimate relations with Governor
La Toilette gave him an opportunity
to quote the Governor correctly upon
all public questions. His explanation
of The tax commission and the me
thods of taxing railroad property was
most interesting. His advice to
members of all parties was well
received and we believe did much
good.
