| vance ana promote Ine candidacy
of James H. Madden, of Ashland
for the Republican Nomination

We issue this appeal because
in the first place the Republican
nomination for congress Is fairly
and rightfully deserved by the
city of Ashland Ashland ac-
cording to the last census is the
largest city in the congressional
district anG yet 1T has never had
one of its citizens az a congress-
man while during the past fifteen
or twenty years Wausau, Merrill,
Amigo and Rhinelander, about
the largest four cities in the dis
trict next nearest Ashland in
size, have at different times
been represented in congress by
one of their own citizens. Dur
ing all this period Ashland has
regularly and Loyalty supported
Republican principles furnishing
splendid majorities for Republi-
can candidates at every election
and now appealing to the fair
ness of the Republicans of this
district we ask in justice to our
city, the largest in the district,
that this high honor of the Re.
publican nomination for congress
be bestowed on one of our own
citizens James ii. Madden.
The candidacy of Mr.. Madden
is in no sense personal or fact
ionl one. He was brought out
as candidate at a mass meeting
of the republicans of the city with
absolute harmony and unity and
he is being supported by the sol
id Republican vote of our city,
who recognize in him a man and
candidate that any city can be
proud to claim. His candidacy
is not being personally foisted
on this district by himself alone
or by small handful of Repub-
licans but his campaign is con.
Quoted by the undersigned com
mittee of twenty Republicans,
who represent every element of
the Republican party of this city,
and who are thoroughly repre-
sentative Of the sentiment, spirit
and wishes of the Republicans of
Ashland.
We appeal to you Republicans
of this great district to give your
support to Mr.. Madden because
he is III every way worthy of this
honor. The people of our city
recognize his honor and integrity
as the very highest, they know
from years of friendship and ac.
quaintance with him that as a
public official his character will
never be blemished and that he
will Loyalty uphold the principles
of the republican party and be
alive to take every step that will
help TO upbuild this great new
north. He has been very sue
cessful as q follower of the great
trade that means so much to this
district, the lumber industry, and
with his extensive acquaintance
throughout Northern Wisconsin
he knows the needs of this region
and he is familiar with measures
that will benitit it.
The Republicans of Ashland
ask his nomination because as a
man Mr. Madden is in every way
worthy of it, and because this
city we'll deserves 1T. We have
entered this contest with con.
tidence and enthusiasm. We
have the utmost confidence in
the qualifications of our candi-
date, we believe the fairness of
the Republicans will concede
this nomination this time TO our
city and we propose to actively
conduct this campaign to victory
and in good spirit, fairness and
justice we believe we are entitled
to your support.
