the first time in eight years Sunday,
and was driven about both sides of

valuable instruction which this course
affords. Those desiring to do so will

A Political Asset,

There is probably no truth in the re-
port that MIR. LaFOllette will himself
be candidate for governor as the only
way he can insure the success of his
machine under the primary election
law.
Indeed, if Mr.. Common is really a
candidate, we doubt if Mr.. LaFollette
himself could defeat him.
Under the new system the chair
manShip of a state committee is the
greatest political asset man can
have. He is the fellow who can build
up a machine: he comes in contact
with the workers and strikers all over
the state. and confers favorS which
are not forgotten when he seeks to
realize upon them. If Mr.. Conner is
the kind of man that those who
know him say he is, the political bust
ness he did was incidentally atIeast
on his own account, fact which stood
ut in the senatorial election.
The report that the MarShfield man
was promised support for governor if
he would keep out of the senatorial
fight may or may not be true, but it is
generally credited that Mr.. LaFolIette
and his inner circle prefer Mr.. Len
root or some other man more amenable
than the chairman as candidate for
governor.-The Milwaukee Journal.

A Little Praise.

The Wausau Central had the follow
ing words of praise for our county, rela--
tive to its showing made at the last
state fair: Our neighbOring county on
the south, Wood Co, took first prize on
agricultural exhibits at the state fair,
scoring 1886 points. Taylor county
took second. For three years Mara
thon county took first prize in agri-
cultural exhibits at the state fair.
Last year Taylor county took first and
this year second, and now Wood
county carries off the prize. VINO says
that Central Wisconsin is not the ban
ner agricultural section of the state?
We always knew it, and it only re-
manned for competition with the
more southern counties to establish
this fact, and this section is only in
it's infancy agriculturally. Bully for
Wood county, and may her worth as
an agricultural county become famous
the world over. It's a good county
and we are proud to be her neighbor
and listed in the same category of rich
farming lands.
