Associate Justice.

Voters should bear in mind the
fact that on Tuesday, April s, 1904,
an Associate Justice of the Wiscon-
sin Supreme Court will be chosen.
Of the two candidates before the
people for this position we take
pleasure in commencing to your
favorable consideration Hon. l.. K.
Luse. This gentleman is a native
of Wisconsin, in the prime of life,
and lawyer of marked ability, who
has been heartily endorsed by dis
tinguished attorneys of both the
great political parties, as non parti-
san candidate. The Supreme Court
being the highest judicial tribunal
existing under the state constitution,
is one in which every voter should
feel an interest, and none should al
low the election to go by default.
You will commit no error if you
vote for l.. K. Luse for Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court.

can conceive of what has been &C.
complished without seeing it. The
scope of the enterprise is gigantic,
its detail is bewildering, and the
beauty and artistic combination of

of the place a region of enchant-

in fairyland, in wonderland, and
this without reference to what his

heretofore been. My fear is that
this impressive fact is not going to

blaze with the subject from this

competence until the time of his
death. About two weeks ago he
was stricken with pneumonia and
succumbed after a short illness.
By those who have come to know
the fine personality Of this young
man, to have enjoyed the general
and delightful hospitality of his
home, to have caught glimpse of
the thoughts that filled his active
mind and the impulses that moved
his kindly heart, his death will be
mourned with sincere grief and
genuine regret, but in the hearts of
those who knew him best he erected
a monument that shall endure
through time. So much promise

hind a precious memory.
