CANDIDATES FOR COUNTY JUDGESH|P
Two WatertoWn Aspirdnts- May
Be FOur-Get Together.

Already two candidates from this
city are in the field for the appoint
ment as county judge when the office
shall become vacant by the resigna-
tion of Judge Grimm, who is to be our
next circuit judge-and it is possible
there may be couple more as the
campaign progresses. The two re-
ferred to are excellent gentlemen and
we'll qualified to discharge the duties
of the office in an acceptable manner
as are the two gentlemen who have
announced their candidacy Petitions
have been circulated by John G. Con-
way and Arthur Mulberger asking for
the appointment at the hands of the
governor when the vacancy shall oc-
cur and are securing many names to
their petitions. There is one thing
to fear, however, and that is, that
two or more candidates in this city
may send the appointment and subse-
quently the election elsewhere and
Watertown have the experience that
GAINESVILLE had in the recent judicial
election-hold the bag for some other
locality. 1t would be the better
course for the aspirants here to get
together and present the name of but
one candidate from this city, AS has
already been said, they are good men
and have their friends who would like
to have their favorite secure the ap-
pointment, but there are many things
to be taken into consideration; one in
particular, give support to the man
who is the most likely to obtain the
coveted prize and that is the question
the friends of each of the aspirants
must decide for themselves. A house
divided against itself cannot stand
and in unity there is strength and un-
less there is unity, Watertown is liza
BILE to lose the appointment-hence
good judgment dictates getting
together.

The parties interested are at the pres

their fast increasing business. They
tan the furier kinds of leather such as
is used in the manufacture of gloves

the mechanical part of the business
and the financial part to be attended
to by the other interested parties.

of the old unused brewery for the en-
terprise which will be a most excell-
ent place for the business, being

new INDUSTRY IS
CERTAIN TO COME
WASHINGTON CUTLERY co. OF
MILWAUKEE SURE THING.
Site and Cash Bonus of $500
Now Practically ASSured-Will
Employ 40 HdndS-NeW Build
ing COX $50 Feet-The Solicitors
Hard at Work,

1t is now practically an assured
fact that the Washington Cutlery
company of Milwaukee, will become
one of the permanent industries of
Watertown and lend an influence in
the rapid upbuilidng and progressive
strides that are now so apparent in
the industrial and commercial realms
Of our municipality.
An effort is being made to reach
out and gather in new industries to
swell the the army of the sons of
toll, who are growing in numbers year
by year.
The apparent success in landing the
industry from the Cream City is due
to the untiring efforts of few of the
members of the Advancement assccia-
tion, who work in season and out of
season for the general upbuilding of
the city. This new concern, when
estab ished here, will give employ
ment to upward of 40 hands and it is
the intention to erect two story
building 6Ox15O feet. They ask as an
inducement to come, a bonus of
So, 500 and site for their establish
ment.
The task of soliciting that amount
was in progress yesterday by Ex-
Mayor Wertheimer and Fred A. Hoff-
man. They met with good success
and were greatly encouraged last
evening in relating to representa-
tive of the Leader their labors Of the
day.
1t is understood that the matter of
site is practically settled, but the
promoters were somewhat reticent in
regard to the exact location, for the
reason that it is not definitely settled
as to whether it will be one or anoth-
er in close proximity. However the
representative was informed that it
| would be in the manufacturing center
of the city.
1t is expected that ground will be
broken before many days for the new
structure and that the same will be ir
operation by the first of September.
While the solicitors are meeting
with good success there is yet por.
tion of the amount of the cash bonus
is to be subscribed, but there is M
doubt in the mind of the solicitors,
but what it will be forthcoming.
The Leader believes that Water
-own is on the eve of vertible boon
and awakened from the rip Van
Winkle' sleep that is said to have
overshadowed the city few years
ago. Every prominent citizen is nov
enthusiastic and putting. his shoulde
to the wheel to push on to the goal O
their ambitions-a live progressive
city.

Last week, the discovery was made
that during the winter and absence Of
the family, burglars had entered the
residence of A. w. Merger at the
corner of Third street. and Western
avenue and ransacked it from cellar
to garret. An entrance was effected
by raising up one of the windows in
the basement. A careful investigation
of the premises by DR.. Oscar Meyer
and Chief of Police Block did not find
that anything had been removed.

ILLEGAL VOTING THE
CAUSE FOR TROUBLE
CASE TO HAVE BEEN AIRED
IN JUSTICE COURT HERE.
Town of Milford Matter Was to
Have Been Aired Yesterday
Frank Heitz Charged With Illegal
Voting Complaint BY S. Brown
Both Candidates for Office.

A case of considerable interest was
scheduled to come up before Judge
Stacy yesterday in which much in
terest had centered. 1t was the case
of the State of Wisconsin VS.. Frank
Heitz, charged with illegal voting in
the town of Milford. The case grew
out of the fact that Heitz and Sam
Brown were candidates for assessor
in thier town.
1t transpired that Heitz was elect
ed by one vote, the contest being
challenged on the ground that Heitz
voted and was not legal voter of
the town, not having resided in the
district for period of ten days.
Despite the objection made by the
challenger, the vote was permitted to
be counted without the voter being
sworn and an investigation by the
election board.
After the votes had been counted
it was found that Heitz had been
elected by the close margin of one
vote, supposed to have bene cast by
the successful candidate.
The friends of Brown were not
cutters and had the defendant arrest
ed on the above charge of illegal vot-
ing under the statutes. The case was
set for trial yesterday. BY the time
the matter was to have been aired in
court, the interested parties had come
to an agreement and adjusted mat
ters, the complaining witness and all
interested being anxious for a settle
ment. The district attorney consented
to a withdrawal of the complaint,
providing all the costs incurred die
not fall upon the county.
| Those who have examined into the
merits of the case declare that the
voter had no intention of voting illeg,
ally and did so in the belief that ht
had right to do so. AS it tran
spired, happiness and peace were
again restored in the town of Mil
ford.
If the Leader is correctly informe'
it incidentally resulted in the appoint
nent of third party in the town o
Milford, the successful contestan
having resigned.

RETURN FROM THE CAP
|TAL OF THE NATION
Mr.. AND MRS. W. c. STONE
REACHED HOME FRIDAY.
While in That City Met the Presi-
dent. Senator Spooner. Congress
man Adams and Many NOtdbles
Visited Many Places of inter-
rest in the Capital City.

After an absence of two weeks
spent at the national capital, Mr..
and Mrs. w. c. Stone returned Fri
day, experiencing most delightful
journey going and coming. In con-
versation with representative of the
Leader Mr.. Stone said that while in
Washington he had the pleasure of
meeting President Roosevelt at the
executive office and was much i'm
pressed with his unaffected democrat
lc manner, being perfectly free from
the assumed dignity so common with
men in high official positions. He is
approachable and when his time will
permit, is always delighted ia aee-5
his countrymen and give t,.e
shake that testifies of his sim
honesty. He also met Senatu
er who is one of the great men at
Washington and stands high in the
esteem and confidence Of his associ-
ates. He is one of the men in the
senate to whom all listen when he
talks and when it is known that he is
to speak the galleries are always
crowded to their utmost capacity and
his name is on the tongue of thous-
ands of people as the best and most
available man as the success of
President Roosevelt who entertains
for the senator the highest regard for
him as man, and tried and true
statesman, with but few equals and
no superiors. He is cool conserva-
tive and time will demonstrate that
his cousre was the best for the gov
ernment and people. Mr.. and Mrs.
Stone were in the city when Senator
Bailey of Texas made his stump
speech on the rairload rate bill and
through the kindness of Senator Spoon
er had the distinguished honor of
occupying seat in the diplomatic GAL
lery, an honor seldom accorded to
persons not connected with the diplo-
matte corps. Congressman Adams is
one of the most Industrious members
of the House of Representatives and
stands high in the estimation of his
associates. He is always on the
alert, forceful speaker and com-
mands attention. The agricultr raj
interests in the country have in him a
faithful advocate. Secretary Wilson
of the Agricultural department, in
conversation with Mr.. Stone made the
statement that Mr.. Adams had accom-
plished more for the farmers of the
country than any other representative
for many years, and was a valuable
of the agriculturists and
he hardly knew what he would have
done without his aid in furthering leg
islation in their behalf. The Presi-
dent also spoke in words of praise of
"Cully'' Adams who is popular with
all, and all, unless biased, recognize
his worth and think it would be a
grave mistake not to return him to
congress. While in Washington Mr..
and Mrs. Stone visited many places of
interest-the Smithsonian Institute,
the Botanical Gardens, the Patent
office and parks and met many people
of note and prominence at home and
abroad and enjoyed their visit very
much indeed.

Furnished With Liquor.

A habitual drunkard in this city has
been "posted" by the council, yet it
is evident that he obtains all the
liquor he wants and more than is good
for him. 1t is not probable, that he
gets liquor from the saloonkeepers,
but parties no doubt who buy and
give it to him. They may think that
they are very kind to the poor unfor
tunate who cannot control his appetite
for intoxicants, but they are not and
deserve not only severe censure but
punishment as well.
