OF specialtieg, such as tan shoes, that
cannot be delivered with sufficient
rapidity. Operations for future re-

STAND FIRM.

Democrats who favor the support OF
Edward G. Wall for president by the
delegates from Wisconsin TO the ST.
Louis convention, met at the Plankin-
ton House, in Milwaukee, on Wednes-
day evening OF last week and effected
an organization. They are all men OF
influence In Wisconsin democratic
politics. The Democrat does not
question their motives nor underrate
their judgement; but upon due con-
sideration we are convinced their
proposition Is very unwise. They will
set out to convert n majority of the
democrats OF the state to their way Of
thinking; but they ought to be met
with determined opposition. A stand
should be made for nm untrammeled
convention, and q delegation unin-
structed except to vote MS n unit. In
this way can the party be strength
ened In Wisconsin,; and as the party
Is strengthened In this state 30 will 1t
be strengthened In the United States,
and 80 will good government be sub
served in state and nation.

FAY ET1'E.

To the Iowa County Democrat:
Cards are out for another wedding
in Fayette in the near future.
The public school opened again Mon
day, after weeks vacation on &C
count of bereavement in the teachers
family. The pupils appear to be
making good progress in their studies
this year.
Mr.. Curtis White and Miss Sarah
M. Cant were married Mt the home of
the brides parents at Waldwick by
Rev. George Brown, February 10,
1904, in the presence of the immediate
relatives OF the bride and groom.
There were some very nice presents.
A Lincoln Day service was observed
Mt the Methodist Episcopal church last
Sunday. There were readings on the
life and work of Lincoln and on the
work being carried on by the churches
for the elevation of the colored race.
The choir rendered some new and soul
STIRRING music and the pastor gave n
short address.
There was Il large attendance at the
sale OF our esteemed townsman, Mr..
Charles Gary, on the 10th instant. He
expects to take his family to Okla
homa for health considerations. We
hope he will find the country all he
desires 1t, but are sorry TO lose him
and his family, II only FOR time.
The funeral OF Miss Bertha l.. PEN
niston was held in the Methodist Epis-
copal church on Wednesday, February
10, 1904. There was a very large at
tendance OF friends and neighbors.
Among these we noticed Sheriff Park
inson, Miss Hattie Williams and Thos
Pattinson, of Lamont, and Miss Nina
Reynolds, OF WaldwicS.
Fayette Is again without black
smith, We are told that the black
smiths union wanted to unioni2e the
Fayette shop and charge 20 cents for
setting shoes, and rs the Darlington
price was only Is cents, MIR. Williams
did not see his way clear to join the
union, and finding shop TO rent AT
Darlington, he secured 1t. He is u
good blacksmith, and we have on
doubt his Fayette friends will rcmem-
Der him at his new stand.

States senate in 1891. What was true
OF Wisconsin's greatest democrat then
is doubly true now. He had then ac-
quired national reputation for great
ability, and as a brave and patriotic
citizen who we'll served his country.
Today he has wider and greater
reputation and is In the ripened full.
ness of his splendid powers. II there
should be chance OF nominating a
Wisconsin man at the st. Louis con-
vention the delegates from this state
should support Col. Villas.

WISCONSIN'S PART.

The Milwaukee Journal Is ably lead
ing u strong opposition TO the Wall
movement. Besides publishing earn
est protests from many democrats
throughout the state, Mr.. Nicman
speaks in this manner through the
journal y editorial columns:
"With New York, the most power
full democratic state In the union, with
candidate nationally considered,
sending out word that her delegation
will go to the national convention un-
instructed, what place or influence will
be left for an instructed delegation
from Wisconsin bound to local can
didate?
"The call Is for national conven-
tion Of the best men of the party, the
intellect and influence OF the party,
that u course may be devised to bring
the party up TO u commanding posi-
tion. The party must be recovered
and brought To q wise contemplation
Of the present. For this purpose Wis.
consin should be represented, not by
any man or set OF men. Wisconsin
might desire to honor one OF her sons.
IL she had II candidate u moment
might come when his name could be
presented to the convention with II
possibility OF success.
"The present movement to forestall
the convention Is wholly unwise. IT
would not represent Wisconsin, but
done the democracy Of the state must
stand for II and It's consequences.
Wisconsin has able democrats, men
with more or less OF national and party
reputation. These cannot be hurt.
Nothing political manipulators can do
In pursuit Of private ambitions can
add to or take from such men rs Villas
and Mitchell either character or place
In party history. But the party In
Wisconsin Is the one To suffer or be
helped, The party has demands on
the services OF such men, men whose
counsel will be sought aud listened to
by democrats all over the land.
1.-THE members Of the democratic
party In Wisconsin should demand a
convention untrnmmeled, arising from
the people themselves, expressing their
combined opinion, that 1t may have
weight at this critical time In the party
life. The party Is entitled to the serv-
Ice OF It's best representative men; II
has n right to select those men for
itself When 30 called, these mon,
whoever they may be, will respond
aud carry the weight of the state with

JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME
COURT.

An impression seems to prevail In
some quarters that that there arc two
justices Of the supreme court to DO
elected this spring, because of tho In
crease In tho court from five to seven.
In fact, only one will be voted for this
time, the other two years from now.
The constitution provides that not
more than one Justice can be elected
in any ono year, and so the first one
will be chosen this spring. Next year
Justice Winslow's term will expire, so
that there can be no additional cleo
tion that year. We mention this for
fear that some voters will vote for
both the candidates and thereby lose
their votes entirely.
l.. X, Luse continues to secure the
support OF the lawyers, and has many
letters showing their high apprecia-
tion Of his ability. Among these Is
one from one OF the leaders OF the
Milwaukee bar, General +. G, Wink
Ter, who writes rs follows:
:" have anown Mr.. l., Il, Luse, OF

A Lesson From History.

TO the Iowa County Democrat.
In this time OF eXtravagant eXpend-
iture In state and nation, and of high
taxes, 1t IL greatly alarming to many
OF the people OF the United States that
large appropriations for the navy are
called for In congress. 1t Is claimed
by some that we must have strong
navy so that we may not be at u dis
advantage In controversy with any
OF the great powers OF the world. TO
show the fallacy OF this opinion we
have but to refer TO our history. A
few years prior to 1850 the United
States had u Misunderstanding with
two OF the greatest powers OF the world
twice with England, once with France.
We had tho Maine boundary and the
Oregon territory questions to settle
with England, and our quarrel with
France arising out OF claim for five
million dollars, which the French gov
ernment refused to pay When the
claim was rejected by France, Gen.
Andrew Jackson, then the president,
published his declaration that II the
money was not paid forthwith he would
seize French ships and pay himself.
At that time the French had three times
the force OF ships ofwar that the United
Gtutpa Ind Rnt 1i1 Frn npa ruah iptp
war with us? She paid the money,
The dispute with England was settled
by treaty and In manner very favor
able to the United States.
These incidents go to show that it is
not necessary that n people should
always be armed to the teeth in order
to command respect. CITIZEN,

Sentiment of Democrats.

Mayor Burt Williams, Of Ashland
Since my interview appeared in Mil
waukee papers two weeks ago, char
acterizing the Wall movement as lack
ing In sincerity because the leaders in
the plan we're the democrats who four
years ago denounced Mr.. Wall for
national committeeman, and as look
Ing like well defined scheme to head
of the growing popularity OF William
Randolph Hearst In Wisconsin,
have received scores OF letters from
every part OF the state which take the
same view OF the Wall boom. From
what has been written me by my cor
respondents 1t seems that this i'm
preston IL quite general among dem
ocrats throughout the state, and num-
erous clippings sent me from demo-
cratic editors indicate forcibly that
the entire movement Is looked upon
AZ lacking in sincerity and genuine
enthusiasm.
"In fact, In several cities which |
have recently visited, / have found
among democrats who have not yet
made choice among the presidential
candidates seriously considered in all
parts of the country far more senti-
ment in favor OF indorsing ex-senator
Villas as favorite son than there eX-
lists for Mr.. Wall. ~
