The following is an editorial of the
Weekly Madisonian, of Madison.
This is the home of Mr.. Lewis and
the article expresses the confidence
his neighbors and friends have in him
and the respect they entertain for his
abilities and with what Importance
they view his election.
"The most important office to be
filed in the next election is member
Of congress. This Office is Of special
Importance in this district because
the district includes within its boun-
ciating It's Importance and realizing
the fact, that if a minority candidate
is to win the election, he must be a
man Of transcendant abilities and
attainments. democrats of this district
have risen to the emergency by plac-
ing in nomination for that Office Hon.
George W. Lewis of Madison, one of
the brightest, brainiest, and most
popular young democrats in the state.
In commencing the candidacy of
Mr.. Lewis to the voters of this con-
gressional district, the Madlsonian
makes no idle boast and INDUCES in no
fulsome fattery of him, when it says
that no better man for that position
can be found within the boundaries of
nn IStr Of n l. 10 To
because he is honest, able and fear
less because his mind is right and he
thinks right On all the great questions
that are likely to come before con-
gress and is capable of forming his
own opinion on all such questions ;
because he has the ability and brains
to discuss intelligently all subjects
that are likely to come before that
body. He believes in the ''square
deal" not as campaign abstraction
b 1t a an appropriate rule to be aPpii-
ed to every department of government
III it's varied relations with the citI-
zen. To him the words equal rights
to all and special privileges to none
are words Of more than ordinary sig
MITIGATION. As he understands them
and as the party to which he belongs
understands them, they mean that the
government of the United States and
of the different states, shall treat
their subjects fairly, impartially,
and with absolute equality regardless
of commercial standing They mean
that the government shall at all times
be confined to the legitimate function
of governing
Lewis is a democrat, not narrow
minded partisan who believes that his
party embodies all that is good in
citizenship and government; but one
of those broad minded fellows who
recognizes the fact that the great
body Of voters in this country are IN
herently and instinctlvely honest and

A Dear One Called,

Yesterday, at l 80 p. m. the transit
ton called death, was experienced by
Mrs Theodore Sprenger, the passing
on occurring at the home, corner of
Cady and Sixth street. The deceased
gave birth to a child ten days before
her demise, from the effect of which
she never rallied and found rest in
sleep.
The departed, who was about thirty
eight years of age and a native of
Germany, was married nine years ago
to the husband left disconsolate, leav-
ing three children motherless to await
the reunion where there will be no
tears nor parting. She was a good
woman. an affectlonate wife and de-
voted mother who will be missed from
the home circle and the loved ones.
The funeral will be held Monday
afternoon from the home to st.
Johns Lutheran church where the
services will be held, conducted by
the pcstor, Rev. F. H. Egger.

made so much good reputation for
the way he manages the suits against
the insurance companies, was nomi-
mated by accIimation by the republi-

by several thousand fold 1t is not
unlikely that he may be the coming
