BRIEF REVIEW OF
INTERESTING CASE
Won by Goggons e BraZeau In
Circuit and Supreme
Courts.

The famous Adams county election
case, recently won in the supreme
court by Goggins & BraZeau of this
city, establishes beyond ali doubt The
right 10 nominate candidates for
county offices by mass conventions
The chief points in this important
case are as follows:
About 50 per cent Of the vote OF
Adams county is republican.
The regular democratic vote is sc
small hat the political organization
for caucuseS is not preserved in that
county. They have been holding
mass conventions instead of delegate
conventions for the nomination of
county officers, such mass conventions
choosing officers and committee
provided for by the convention and
caucus acts, thus preserving the
county political organization required
for certifying nominations, etc, when
made to the county clerk to be placed
upon the official ballot.
In Adams county the republican
majority being SO great political strife
is confined chiefly to efforts to secure
a place on he republican ticket. a
nomination by that party being
equivalent ordinarily to an election
The remedy Of the people, therefore,
when an undesirable nomination is
made is to split the ticket and vote
for The democratic nominee or other
candidate Of their choice.
The republican county convention
for 1902 made two nominations WI ich
apparently did not satisfy the people,
of Adams county, one for the
Office of sheriff and the other for the
office of county uperintendent. The
democrats in mass convention nomi-
mated for Office Earl Stafford, one of
their own party faith, and John P.
Lewis, tie then county superintend-
ent or Adams county, a republican in
politics and who was then serving his

The addition of Voyer to the team

was able to offer enough testimony
against the accused to bind him
over to the circuit court. As
the offense is punishable by imprison-
ment in the penitentiary from 10 to
80 years, Jadack's bonds were placed
at $1,000.
1t was shown by the testimony that
Jadack met Katie Weiss on the
street at Edgar and asked her
whether she desired to go to work At
the Thomas house at Marshfield, say
ing that he would send her ticket
should she desire to accept the offer
The girl secured the consent Of her
parents. The next day she received
her ticket by presenting letter,
written by Jadack. to the Edgar
depot agent. When she arrived at
Marshfield she was met by Jadack
and taken to what he purported to be
the Thomas house, but which in
reality was the new Northwest hotel.
Jadack went with the girl to room
making her believe at all times that
he was the proprietor. He then sud-
denly locked the door and executed
his villainous design.
Miss Weiss is girl of good parent
age and we'll thought of in the
community in which she resides.

SCHOOL TEACHERS Are
WARNED AGAINST CRAFTERS

The superintendent of Wal~orth

Sauk county, have had experience with
the men in question. In Sauk they
represented That they were sent Oul
by the county uperintendent, and
that they were getting charter men,
befs" Those who signed as 'charter
m emberS" did not know that there
was fee and that they were signing
notes It is needless for me to suggest
that you should be on your guard. and
should also guard your teachers and
district boards against these men to
the extent Of your ability. They are
operating on large scale, and may
vary their metho Is in different places.

VICTORY BY LOCAL ATTORNEYS
SETTLES IMPORTANT QUESTION

! third consecutive term receiving the
nomination in each case from the
republican party. He is an able and
efficient offer and swas deservedly
popular. A the polls Earl Stafford
received a majority over Hunt for the
Office Of sheriff of llS votes and Lewis
over his opponent, Mcdonnell, a
majority of 343 votes, the votes for
county superintendent having been
greater because Of the partici patton
in the election Of. a large number of
women who are qualified to vote for
that officer.
Sec. 30 Il. s. 1898 authorizes mass
conventions. 1t was contended by
the defeated candidates for those
two offices that Chapter 34l of the
Laws Of 1859 requires such Domina-
lions to be made by a convention com
posed Of delegates elected at caucuses
aud rendered void all votes cast for
candidates not SO nominated. and
because Stafford and Lewis were not
SO nominated, and because Stafford
and Lewis were not nominated, at
delegate conventions all votes cast
for them were void and their op-
ponents Hunt and Mcdonnell were
therefore elected The defendants
conJended that said Chapter 34l Laws
Of 1899 does not in fact refer to mass
conventions fer the nomination of
county officers and does not repeal the
provisions Of Sec. 30 r. S. 1898 which
authorize such conventions, but that
if the statutes should receive such
construction then it is uncunslitL-
tiOnal. Defendants won in their con-
tenllOn before the circuit court at
Adams county in June. Hunt the
defeated candidate for sheriff. ap-
pealed to The supreme court and that
court has affirmed the judgement of
the circuit court. The conclusion of
that court being expressed in the
following language:
Upon The fact found, we must
hold that the mass conventions pro-
vided for by Sec. 30, Stats. 1898, were
not abolished by Chap 81 Of the
Laws Of 1899, and that the name of
defendant was properly on the official
ballot as the candidate of the
democratic party for the office Of
sheriff. aud was duly elected and
qualified as such sheriff. This makes
it Unnecessary TO consider whether
Chapter 34l of the Laws of 1899 would
have been constitutional if construed
aS cuntended for on the part of the
relatOr."

LUMBER GUT OF WISCONSIN
VALLEY PAST Ten YEARS

1t will be noted from the above
table that there was decrease Of
l7,73S,OOO In the amount of lath
manufactured during the year past.
It also shows marked increase since
1897.
In speaking Of conditions in the
Wisconsin River valley the Lumber
man says:
"The Wisconsin Valley records
about the normal decrease in the
amount of lumber produced that has
been going on for the past few years.
There is still some lumber In that
section, but the decline of the output
will be even more radical from now
on than during the past Two years.
Rhinelander, which at one time was
large lumber producing section,
turned out less than fifty million feet
the past season. The Merrill mills
are the only ones which help to swell
the total to fair proportions. Only
one Of the mills at Tomahawk was
operated last year. This mill, how
ever, will probably continue to oper-
ate for number of years."
