Speaker Lenroot of West Superior,
Northern Wisconsin, and B. J.
Castle of Black River Falls, outside
of the district, have been making
some speeches about Grant county
the past week favorable to the
candidacy of John Blaine for con-
gress. We are told that their re-
ception in all places was chilly and
the audiences small. Grant county
is undoubtedly overwhelmingly for
the denomination of our present
efficient representative, and next
Saturdays caucuses will demon.
strate that fact.

EVERY CHARGE In THE OP-
POSITION HAND BOOK ]
PROVED FALSE BY
THE RECORDS OF
CONGRESS-.
TAX PAYERS PAYING THE
EXPENSE OF THIS FIGHT
AGAINST BABCOCK.

1t is semi-officially announced
from Madison, that Irvine L.
Lenroot, resident of Superior in
the 18th congressional district,
with other speakers, none of
whom reside in Babcock's district,
are to hold meetings throughout
his district in opposition to his
denomination.
The chief engineer of the
movement to get out candidates,
was Mr.. Frank l.. Tucker, Of
Neillsville, in the 9TH congressional
district, assisted by game Warden
Storrs, Game Warden Brown, and
such other nonresident game
wardens as could be conveniently
sent into the district, together with
the oil inspectors and the factory
inspectors. Mr. Henry Overlook,
state game warden of the 9th
congressional district, and Mr..
Walter L. houser of Mondoyi in
the 9TH congressional district, and
Mr.. Byron j. Castle of Madison in
the 2nd congressional district also
rendered valuable assistance in
this direction
The Republicans of the third
congressional district are now con
fronted with the question whether
they are able and competent to run
their own affairs, or whether they
want gang of non-residents, all
employees of the state paid out OF
the tax payers money, attending tc
their own affairs for them. Ii the
intelligent farmers of the third
congressional district were made
aware of the fact that the tax
eaters and not the tax payers are
fighting Mr.. Babcock, they would
be present at the caucus and
condemn this style of politics. A
large number of the state
employees, paid directly and
indirectly by the people Of Wis
consin are engaged in this fight
against Mr.. Babcock.
1t would be difficult to estimate
the number of thousand dollars ex-
pended in this way to encompass
the defeat of Mr.. Babcock. There
is no parallel in American politics
for this movement which is now on.
1t is absolutely without character,
devoid of principle, and should
receive the condemnation of every
man who believes in honest and
clean politics. The people should
stand by Babcock who has stood
with them on every proposition.
Every charge made against him is
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1904-02-13

proved false by the record of con-
gress, and these charges have been
made only as a desperate and last
resort.
The importation Of outside
speakers to further spread these
misrepresentation and poison the
minds of the people is another
evidence of the desperation of the
combine, which for selfish reasons
is attempting to deprive the
district of a faithful and tried
member of congress

PROTECTS THE SYSTEM
AGAINST CATARRH
Hyomei Prevents Cold and Cures Grip
and Catarrh. Money Back IfIt Fails.

IAN ounce of prevention is worth
pound of cure" A few breaths
of Hyomei through the next pocket
inhaler that comes with every out
fit will check cold or the grip at
the start, and prevent serious and
lasting illness.
In all catarrhal troubles and
diseases of the air passages, Hyomei
has "a positive action not
possessed by any other
medicine or treatment. It is
pleasant and convenient to use;
simply put 20 drops of Hyomei in
the inhaler and breathe it a few
minutes, four times a day. In
this way, every particle of air that
enters the lungs is charged with
a healing balsam that kills all
catarrhal germs, soothes and allays
the irritated mucous membrane,
yitalizes the blood with ozone, and
makes a permanent and complete
cnre.
A Hyomei outfit costs only ST.,
and contains an inhaler, medicine
dropper and bottle of Hyomei.
The inhaler lasts a lifetime and
when more Hyomei is needed,
extra bottles can be obtained for
soc.
j. T. Bennett gives his personal
guarantee with every Hyomei
outfit he sells to refund the money
if it does not cure.

James A Frear in his speech at
Reedsburg on theo10th inst. stated
that as an endorsement of Gov.
La Toilette ard his policy, at the
election in the Third Congressional
district in 1902 he received 1000
votes. The Blue Book gives his
vote as 1904, and the vote for
Babcock 1906. SeemsI that
,Babcock must have a little
popularity himself.

II Byron Castle fails to bring re-
suits as spellbinder or hypnotizer
of Grant county people, his en-
ployer, Gov. LaFollette, might have
him fill in dead time at Madison by
feeding the hogs at the agricultural
college farm. His voice fits him
for the job, and Byron is not par
ticular what he does, so long as he
may feed at the public crib all the
time.

After yainly beating about for
imperfections in the career and
qualifications of Congressman Bah
cock, Mr.. Castle finally claims to
have discovered that Mr.. Babcock
could not keep up with the school
maam's when it comes to one of
Supt. Nye's examinations. Will
some friend of Mr.. Babcock please
tell him to brush up bit on
Readin', 'Ritin' and 'Rithmetic?

TWO ANNIVERSARIES.

The two birthday anniversaries
that most appeal to the great
American heart are those of Wash
ington and Lincoln. February 10
and February % are red-letuer days
in the history of our republic. On
the one we honor the memory of
the father of his country; on the
other we pay our tribute of love
and gratitude to it's savior and it's
martyr. Scarcely have the eu-
logies called forth by Lincoln's re-
cent anniversary ceased to echo
through the land when, on this 2nd
birthday Of Washington, words Of
equally glowing praise and admira-
ton, resounding from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, attest the popular
reverence for this immortal men,
Dry
Oblivious of the fact that no two
different characters possess the
same attributes of greatness, much
discussion has arisn as to which
was the greater man, Washington
or Lincoln There was much in
the environment of Lincoln to call
forth the popular sympathy, much
in his lowly birth and courageous
struggles with adversely, to endear
him to those he was won't to call
the plain people. The child Of
want and poverty, ''nursed amid
wintry whirlwinds,' he was: left to
fight single-handed against a world
that was never kind to him. A
deeper pathos is added to this life
of hardship, sorrow xand detractlon,
because when his triumph hour at
last arrived, it proved his hour of
martyrdom.
Of all our great men, Lincoln has
most appealed to the poets. Lowell
calls him, New birth Of our new
soil, the first American" Bryant
has paid him tribute as ''The gentle,
merciful and just Walt Whit
man. in lines of transcendent feel
ing and beauty. greets him as 'sMy
Captain" and thus bewails his
death:
From fearful trip the victor ship comes
in with object won.
Exalt, 0, shores. and sing, o, bells.
But /, will silent tread.
Walk the spot my Captain lies:
Fallen. cold and dead
Washington, favored son Of
fortune born to the best traditions
of American life, compels our adj
miration, but awakens no such
sympathy as that we give to Lin
coin, who lacked all of these adj
vantages. But we recognize in
Washington a, man unspoiled by.
prosperous circumstances that
would have led a weaker nature to
indulge in life of inglorious ease.
Lincoln was the personal exponent
of the doctrine that all men are
born free and equal. Washington,
in earring out this doctrine to it's
logical conclusion, builded better
than he knew. The man who for
SO many years stood first in war,
first in peace and first in the heart
Of his country now shares that
honor with another who lives and
will continue to live in our annals
as the savior of the republic.

THE FIGHT ON BABCOCK.

Inc following hearty endorsement
of Congressman Babcock from
Tuesdays Dubuque Times is
significant. Mr.. Babcock was for
a number of years extensively
engaged in business in Dubuque,
and he is well known in that city:
The republican convention to select
a candidate for congress in the
Third Wisconsin district has been
called for March and as this date
approaches the efforts of the La
Toilette forces to retireC Congressman
j. w. Babcock grow more desperate.
Already it is charged that the
convention date means snap
caucuses in February. This is
puerile. The governor has a
standing organization in Wiscon-
sin, has had for years, and months
ago his supporters brought outa fla
vorite son" in every county of Mr..
Babcock's district. This appeal to
local pride has been followed up by
a pamphlet issued by the Milwaukee
Free Press, La Toilette organ, in
which the distinguished representa-
tive of the Third district is bitterly
assailed. The causes for which he
is denounced in this pamphlet
such matters as abuse of
the franking privilege, ownership of
corporation stock, intimacy with
railroad managers, ETC., but it is
nevertheless made plain enough
that his mortal offense is unwill-
ingness to accept the governors
dictatorship and assent to his
leadership of the party in Wis
consin and his proposed ex-
periments in state and party
government. M
On this point Mr.. Babcock has
the company of many excellent.
inside Wisconsin and
out, republicans who do not believe
that loyalty to the person of Gov.
La Toilette or to his peculiar views
should be made the test Of party
fealty but who do believe that if
his rule or ruin policy prevails the
republican party of Wisconsin will.
be seriously if not irreparably
damaged. One ground offered for.
retiring Mr.. Babcocl. is that a con-
gressional convention in his district
to endorse President
Roosevelt. From this an effort is
made to draw the conclusion that
the denomination of Mr.. Babcock
now would somehow, inperil the
future of President Roosevelt and
of the republican party.
Enough has been said to suggest
the general tone of the pamphlet
The republicans of the Third
district are reminded, however,
that the congressman whose
offenses are listed now because he
has chosen to be independent of
Gov. La Follettes dictation was
considered worthy of that
gentleman's unqualified endorse
ment at Necedah Oct. IL, 1900.
No congressman from Wisconsin
has won greater distinction, none
has been more serviceable to his
party or his state and none has
reflected greater honor upon his
district than Mr.. Babcock. In the
interest Of all he should be
retained. The animus of the
opposition to him is so apparent
that none should ~@be deceived.
His friends in Dubuque, where he
was engaged in business for many
years and where his fair dealing
won him the confidence of business
men and the esteem of his en-
ployes, hope for his triumph over
the hydra headed opposition.

OF Arm in Arm.
j. Pierpont Morgan Didn't Say Any
thing, but He Looked His
Pleasure.

New York, March 23.-Following a
day of great excitement in the stock
market and numerous conferences
among the leading financial interests.
the new plan of the Northern Securi-
ties Co., was made public last evening.
In substance it provides for a stock
dividend of SO per cent, this to be
effected by a reduction of that amount
in the capital stock of the securities
company.
For every share of Northern Secur.
ity stock surrendered the company
will deliver 1927 stock of the North
ern Pacific Railway company and
$3O17 of the Great Northern Railway
company The shares of the Northern
Pacific company which were taken
over by the Northern Securities at
lis, and those OF Great Northern at
$50, will be distributed on this basis.
The other assets of the Security COM
pany consisting chiefly of its Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy holdings and
Northern Pacific coal lands, will re
main in the treasury of the company
until some plan for their distribution
has been evolved. Official notice of
a new plan, which is signed by Pres
ident Hill, was sent to Northern Sc
curity stockholders in a circular let
ter.
The new plan was formally adopted
at a meeting of the directors which
began in the morning and lasted until
we'll into the afternoon. Throughout
the day, when Northern Securities
shares were booming on the curb and
it's affiliated stocks and the Pacifcs.
chiefly Union Pacific, were advancing
by leaps and bounds on the stock
exchange, the air was full of rumors,
some of them of an alarming charac-
ter Dealings in Union Pacific COM
mon aggregated over 40 per cent of
the total outstanding issue. 1t was
declared in various quarters that the
Hill-MOrgan party had for some rea-
son deemed it necessary to buy heav-
lily into this stock. Large amounts of
Southern Pacific shares also changed
hands After the close of the market
a long conference was held at the
office of j. P Morgan & Co. Messrs.
Hill and Hartman left the Morgan
banking house arm in arm and appar-
emily in the best of spirits. Both de-
cIfned to make any statement beyond
saying that a perfect understanding
had been reached all around. Mr..
Hill denied that there had been any
differences respecting the dissolution
plan. Mr. Morgan and his partners
had no comment to make, but Mr.
Morgan seemed pleased with the
days events.

Sprague, of Bloomington, pleaded
guilty in the United States district
court to using the mails for a scheme
