The four-masted schooner Helen H. Taft.

the stock on sale, though there was scat

steady and somewhat higher this morning.
Four vessels laden with oysters in the
shell were lying at the oyster market at
the wharf this morning. and the cooler
weather has made the demand excellent.
Prices range about soc. to G0c. per bushel.

One small vessel laden with watermelons
came into port last night. The cool wealth

Clifford: A discovery Of what il
supposed to be oil stone was recently
made In the Bedrock section. about one
and one-half miles from Agatha The
discovery was made by T. d. Fergu-
son, who Is engaged In burning lime.
The out-cropping Of the oil stone is
eighty feet high and has the appear
ance Of white marble. One Of the
pieces was Creased ,and was used in
sharpening tools with satisfactory, re-
suits. A razor was sharpened on the
stone and fine edge secured. The new
stone was placed In the lime kiln but
was not affected by the heat used in
reducing, lime. Mr.. Ferguson believes
the discoSefy, to III very valuable and
has taken steps to organize a company
to install a polishing plant to place the
product on the Market Sifs

Organizing His Forces.

1t was upon the earnest solicita-
ton of many friends that Hon. Emil
Baensch consented to become a non
factional candidate for Governor.
Having entered the field he will use
all honorable means at his command,
to secure the nomination. In this
connection he recognizes the i'm
portance of organizing his forces, a
work in which he is now engaged.
He is being aided in this commend
able cause by good men from each
of the two factions, men who feel
that the time has now come when
the party should obliterate needless
factional differences, and present a
united front. This is as it should be,
and augurs we'll for the future of the
party. Let all Repu blicans who
value party success above the sue
cess of one faction over another
with the risk of party defeat, give
this new movement for party har-
mony that encouragement to which
its merits entitle it. :
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1904-01-21

the foregoing reason, we favor the
nomination of Mr.. Baensch, and
trust that the Republican constituent
cy of the JOURNAL in both Pierce
and St. Croix counties may be led
to endorse our view in this matter.
We have no personal interest in the
success of Mr.. Baensch, favoring his
nomination in what we believe to
be the best interests of the party.
Mr.. Baensch's educational acquire
ments, ability, integrity, efficiency,
and Judicial fairness commend him
to the conservative voters of both
factions as fit person in support of
whom they can consistently unite.
Mr.. Baensch has not been identified
in prominent way with either of
the warning factions, and is there
fore personally obnoxious to neither.
His declaration of principles is GER
tainly as partial to the half-breed
element of the party as it is to the
stalwarts, and all who desire party
success can see their way clear to
s11DDort him.
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1904-01-21

continuance of the present faction
al division of the party should be
discouraged, and the advice of those
whose political or material interests
would be endangered by the return
of peace should be received with
great caution.
Because of local conditions in vari-
Gus states, and the disposition of the
Democratic party to unite its factions
with all interests opposed to the adj
ministration of Theodore Roosevelt,
it can be truly stated that the result
of the coming Presidential election
is not one of certainty, and it would
be political crime should united
Democracy, in its efforts to defeat
his reelection, be confronted with a
divided, factional, Republican party
in Wisconsin. The vote of Wiscon-
sin once determined the result of a
Presidential election.
Let us have new alignment that
will stamp out factionalism. There
are no irreconcilable differences.
Our greatest concern today should
be the unification of the party.
To united party cam safely be
entrusted the settlement of all issues.
In the efforts we purpose making
for Roosevelt, Baensch, and party
peace, we ask the cooperation of all
who are in sympathy with us with
out regard to past factional affilia-
tons. We invite an expression of
your views as well as suggestions
from you as to organization in your
different localities. Our plan in
wolves thorough organization of
the Republicans of the State, to ac-
complish which requires both time
and money. Any contribution you
may be pleased to make should be
sent to Hon. J. B. Treat, Treasurer,
