The Douglas county delegation at
Spooner made good fight for the
home man for delegate in Chicago,

this time. The argument was made
by the opposing candidates that
Douglas county had had the delegate
to the national convention in 1892,
1896 aad 1900 and this practically
did the work for the Bayfield, county
man. Mr.. McLeod's own personal
popularity and wide acquaintance
helped much and with the skillful
campaign put up by ]. E. Jones an
adroit political manager of sWash.

come The delegates selected are

The Danger Of it.
The large element of stay-at-home
votes during the past two years as
compared with the vote of 1900, shows
the danger which threatened the re-
publican party from the apathy OF its
members. The democrats, while APP
parently doing nothing are engaged in
a still-hunt campaign. Instructions
have gone out from the democratic
headquarters in this city not to go
hunting votes with a brass band this
fall, but to devote every energy to
polling their full strength in each dis
trict on November 8. They hope that
this sort Of action may win in at
least three of the congressional dis
tricts.
They expect to put workers and mon
ey into these districts during the last
ten days of the campaign, and it be-
hooves the republicans to be alert and
see that every republican vote In ev-
cry precinct in the state is cast on cleo
ton day.

A Mansfield Story.
Nav york Times 7


Most playwrights and play agents
consider themselves fortunate IL they
succeed in getting Richard Mansfield
to examine their wares. Not so the
agent Of the French dramatist, Jean
Richepin. She sent Mr.. Mansfield
note a few days ago.
II will let you read Richepin's play,
Don Quixote,'" 1t read, for $500. and
will give you a two weeks option on
it for $4,000"
The actor was so astounded at this
audacious offer that he began to rub
his eyes to find out if he was awake or
asleep. When he gathered himself to-
gether he reached for pen and paper.
And this is what he wrote to the play
agent:
Dear Madam: will consent to read
Don Quixote' for s5,ooo-cash in adj
vance. Yours truly, Richard Mans

augmented the comment and criticisms.
Judge Smith is criticised as making an

on the Fairbanks special, that he sup
