The Gubernatorial Campaign

The News feels that the public in
Wisconsin is not as awake as it should
be to the fact that we have an entire
change in our elective system and that
the people, and not the politicians, are
to select candidates as we'll as to make
the final selection from the candidates.
It may be, of course, that the News is
premature, that it is little early yet,
and likewise that the News may not
have found the public pulse-might
have put our finger in the wrong place.
1t occurs to the News that there is
an easy opportunity for the reform
element or party to make mistake
in the September primaries. Whether
the old fight between the breeds
and stalwarts is to continue, depends,
as the News sees it, entirely upon the
stalwarts. The recent campaigns have
The Ladysmith news and Ingram news. [volume] (Ladysmith, Wis.) 1905-1906, 1906-01-13

shown that the dominant party in Wis
consin is not only heavily half-breed,
but that it is almost totally half-breed.
It goes without the saying that the
half-breeds will accept no advice from
the stalwarts.
It follows, therefore, that between
an ayowed half-breed and an avoWed
staIwart, there would be no question as
to results but that isn't the question.
The matter will not go that way
There might be one haH-breed and one
stalwart contending for the republican
nomination-b it will not be that
way. How many stalwarts there will
be is not certain, but it is probable
that there viii be just one. The num-
Der Of half breeds, as at present lndi-
Gated, will be too many. In the mix
up we are likely to have a stalwart
nominee.
It therefore behooves the half-breed
who wants further progress along re-
form lines, to consider we'll the cues
ton: Who is the most available man?
We are not using the word available
in the conception Of the ward politician
VINO simply wants to win.
To be available, the man should be
of right convictions-ak known quantity,
who viii be there after election.
To be available, the man should be
well known all over the state.
To be available, the man should be
recognized as success in his business
or vocation.
To be available, the man should be
recognized as an Independent thinker
and not follower.
1t would be well in this campaign
that the choice should be influenced by
all the circumstances. No one qualifi-
cation should be allowed to control
The man should have them all.
Geographical considerations should
not influence the result, but it is al
ways an element and may as well be
recognized.
The next governor OF Wisconsin
should be progressive man who will
be able TO handle problems arising
under recent legislation and promote
farther progress. The next governor
will have plenty to do.

The Growth Of Railways

The Railway Age, in It's issue of Dee.
%, will print It's annual statement of
railroad construction during the year,
showing that the Northwestern states
lead in the amount Of reconstruction. The
Railway Age will say:
Approximately 5000 miles of new
railroad have been completed in the
United States during the year of 1905.
Since July work has been pushed with
great vigor. with the result that for the
year 4,979 miles of new track were laid
in the United States, on 337 lines in
fourty-five states and territories. In
addition, several hundred miles have
been graded and track is being laid on
many lines as the year closes

1t. is said that passing events cast
their shadows before and | guess
those shadows are calculated to recall
past events, as a recent change locally
recalls an experience of several years
ago.
In the probate court-we call it
county court-in town where / was
doing editorial work, and incidentally
making it lively for grafters, a case
was in progress upon the estate of a
namesake Of mine-no relation how
ever-and graft was running all
through the process. A rascal of
lawyer had the case and was skinning
the estate on worse scale than the
sheriff business in Rusk county.
The deceased was a bachelar and
had two sisters living in the east.
The administrator was in for every
thing in sight at all times and the
shyster who was attorney for the ad-
ministrator was the same fellow to
whom I've referred as pension thief,
forger, etc. The man in charge Of the
estate was an absorber of immense
proportions. That was the trio who
were creating chaos and then gather
ing in the pieces. They had bills with
out end. The administrator bill was
$500. The lawyers main bill was
$1,000 with a score or more special
bills. The man in direct charge had a
healthy bill OF expense. In fact the
two fine farms left by this bachelor
and healthy bank account were about
gone when my attention was called to
the robbery. / printed a synopsis of
the charges and sent a copy Of the pa
per to one of the heirs in the east.
She came by return mail, telegraph or
some prompt means, and the devil was
to pay. She seemed to think that
was in some way a special representa-
tive of the Goddess Of Justice and
bound to devote myself to everyone s
case. I sent her to lawyer who I
knew would put bomb under the
works of the grafters.
Ugh! Wasn't the devil and all his
imps to payi
The administrator was placed under
oath and had to say that for his fifteen
hundred dollar bill he hadn't done $40
worth Of work. The lawyers fees
were discounted about 80 per cent

the manager in charge got ratified and
said that he was put up to robbing the
estate and that he had done about
the way McGill did in the water power
franchise matter, gave half TO tie
other fellow and put the rest down his
pocket.
It is needless to add that the estate
was recouped and that the eastern
heirs received SIS, 600 to $50, 600, where
as, if the grafters had a free hand they
would have had to pay an assessment
of a deficit TO clear the expenses of
probating.

feel myself incompetent to the task
of writing on the subject of grange life
insurance, but gladly give you my per-
sonal views upon this question. When
| was connected with the state and
insurance was often discussed in our
executive meetings, but finally left
without any positive recommendations
to the subordinate oranges. The grange
theoretically should be as competent to
manage life as fire insurance, which
they are doing very successfully and
profitably in nearly all of the states.
One of the serious hindrances to grange
life insurance Is the age of our men,
bership. You are aware that q ma
jority of our members are past thirty
five years of age, consequently rates
must be correspondlngly high IL such
companies are to be and remain f1nan-
cially sound. and If they are not SO
beyond question it would result in
disaster to our Order. We have today
several fraternal organizations that
are purely life insurance. They are so
firmly established that 1t would be
hazardous for our Order to undertake
competition with them. Therefore
believe it should not be done by the
grange.
No organization in existence has so
many important problems and ques-
tons before 1t for solution as the
grange, and until we can solve the
problem of how to keep our boys and
girls upon the farm and how to make
our farms more profitable 1t will be
wise for us to leave life insurance
alone.
The terrible fact that our farms have
deprecated in value since 1880 $780,
100000; that there are 10000 farms Of
fered for sale in our own state alone
at barely the cost Of the buildings upon
them; that illiteracy Is increasing upon
the farms more than in the city not
withstandlng the large influx Of the
ignorant foreign immigrants; that near
ly all of our brightest boys leave the
farm as soon as possible-untll we solve
some of these questions l think that
life insurance in the grange had better
be left for future consideration.
