A Successful Professional and Busi-
ness Career Assures Voters that He
Will Represent Them With Ability.
Theodore NJ. Thomas has been a sue
cess in life He has twice built up
large law practices, once at Beaver
Dam where he entered the profession
and again in Ladysmith where he lc-
Gated something over two years ago.
This city appeared at that time to
have its full quota of lawyers, but
Mr.. Thomas speedily developed prac-
tice that has grown from day to day
until he has built a very lucrative busi-
ness. He is now serving his second
term as city attorney of I.adysmith.
Mr.. Thomas has always been resi-
dent of the state, being born on farm
in Fond du Lac county in 1870 where
he performed the labors incident to
country life. Probably the employ
ments of his youth did much toward
building the strong constitution with
which he is favored, and which enables
him to labor almost necessarily.
Not favored with wealthy parents,
Mr.. Thomas met with many obstacles
in securing an education, but ample
strength and an indomitable courage
carried him through. Starting law
practice without money and with limit
ed library was another task attempted
and performed. Mr. Thomas sold out
his business at Beaver Dam in May,
1904, and after careful investigation
came to Rusk county. His faith in
the future of the county was not un-
mixed with clear appreciation Of the
needs of the people. He has cooper
ated in movements for the development
and betterment of the community.
Among other things, his acquaintance
with and his possession of the con-
fidence of men of means has enabled
him to cause many thousands of dollars
to be loaned to Rusk county people
needing means for development pur-
poses.
Mr.. Thomas standing may be indi-
Gated by the fact that he has the busi-
ness of financial institutions. The re-
ceiver of the late First National bank,
after careful consideration, selected
him as attorney. This matter was
handled with satisfaction to all con-
cerned, except the men who were re-
quired to ''make good to creditors.
Mr.. Thomas entered the campaign
for the assembly only after being re-
peatedly urged to do so by many peo-
pie in all parts of the county. Then
before entering the contest he made
trip into Chippewa county and ascer-
tanned as far as time would permit
that that portion of the district was
favorable to his candidacy. Such was
the situation at that time that he ap-
peared to be antagonizing no one with
better claims to the position.
On entering the field for the assem-
bly,, Mr.. Thomas stated clearly some
of the things that would engage his
best attention in the legislature.
Among these are:
The establishment of board of inn
migration to assist in the development
of the state.
Better control of the great insurance
companies.
Any practical legislation calculated
to remove the control of values of farm
products from the influence of board OF
trade gamblers.
Revision of the highway laws ane
such amendment to the state consti
tuition as will permit state aid in high.

GET TING TO THE POINT
The Tony Enterprise Wants A Finger
Put Upon Facts Tn

A Ladysmlth paper has undertak-
en- to elect Maloney District Attor-
ney and in its issue of Saturday last
makes use of the towards S weapon
and insinuates that Glenn H. Will
Jams, the present district attorney,
has connived or Winked at grating,
at least as far as Sheriff's bills are
concern.
we donot believe that Mr.. Maloney
does or will countenance this kind
of campaigning, or else we are very
much mistaken N he real character
Of the man. Mr. Williams charac-
ter and reputation will stand we'll
the test of comparison with those
of some alleged anti-grafters.
We do not believe that that paper,
or any one else, can find single in
stance where Mr. Williams was
guilty of such wrong doing as that
paper insinuated.
And until it can make a specific
charge its utterances should be TAX
en- for what they are Worth-no-
thing.
Thus does the Tony Enterprise, an
obscure sheet printed at various times
where there is neither room nor excuse
for a newspaper, attempt to serve it's
ring masters.
Thus does it make a mad swipe as
the News without the fairness Of
naming the object of the attack.
Thus does it stab in the dark.
Thus does it dogmatize to it's dozen or
SO of readers.
1t is too obscure to give publicity and
too puefile to the effective.
It's barkings are not worthy of atten-
tion.
However, the News will take occasion
to state that it's reference to grating. in
Rusk county contains no coward's tao
tics. What we have to say we state
will such plainness that he who runs
may read.
We have heretofore plainly stated the
figures showing graft in the sheriff's
bills.
We have stated that Mr.. Williams,
in his official duty, is bound to pass upon
those bills. We have stated that he
has approved them. We have stated
that he should not have approved them.
We have stated that this is winking
at graft.
We have sent the copies containing
this statements to Mr.. Williams and to
the Tony Enterprise
We have often said that the columns
of this paper are open to the absolutely
free use of anyone who has a grievance
or who claims to have been misrepre-
sented.
And this is what the little Enterprise
calls ''use of the coward s weapon" and
'insinuating.
The Enterprise does not deny that
graft prevails. 1t does not deny that
Williams is bound by the law as district
attorney to pass upon bills against the
county. 1t does not deny that he has
these graft burdened bills. It
states nothing, argues nothing simply
calls names.
But the tax payers of Rusk county
have clear view of the situation.
They know that the figures so often
printed in the News are correctly copied
from the records of the county. They
know that the way to secure relief from
such condition is to elect district at
torney who has the courage of his con-
viction and that man is d. w. Maloney
who has also printed the facts time aft
er time Maloney is lawyer who
wants law to prevail. AS district attor-
ney he will see to it that graft ceases,
whether the little sheet at Tony barks
or not

by Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 27.-The
police discovered and raitled a Chinese
gambling den in full operation at Pierce
and Turk streets, in premises recently
leased to the Asiatics.
Captain Henry Gleason, unaided and
after a hand-to-hand fight with the
lookout. entered the room on the Sec
ond floor Of the building. where he
found thirty Chinese engaged in a
game of fan tan.
The appearance of the officer created
great excitement among the inmates
of the den, thirteen of whom bolted
through the exits and made their es-
cape.
Captain Gleason succeeded after a
struggle in corraling seventeen of the
offenders.
For over an hour Gleason, who had
securely locked the doors of the den,
remained alone in the room with his
prisoners, waiting for assistance to ar
rive.
He vainly endeavored to attract the
attention of passers-by calling for help
from an upper window. Failing in this
he wrote a note and addressed 1t to the
station. The missive was dropped out
of the window was picked up by a
boy, and posse Of policemen was
dispatched to the rescue of the officer.
During the interim Captain Gleason
cowed the Chinese into submission by
displaying his revolver.

MRS. HARTJE IS
WELL GUARDED
DETECTIVES ACCOMPANY. HER
TO COURT ROOM
Evidence of Susies Wagner, Called
as a Witness for the Hus-
band, Assists the
Wife
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
P1TTSBURG, July 27.-Susie wag-
ner, formerly a maid in the Hartje
household, was a witness for Mr..
Hartje today in his suit for divorce,
but by her testimony made an impor-
tant point for Mrs. Hartje.
That Susie Wagner received three
letters from Mrs. Mary Scott Hertje
while Susie was in Germany was
brought out. Hitherto only two letters
had been mentioned, one of them being
the disputed letter known as Exhibit
No. g. Miss Wagner said she gave the
second letter to ED 'Hartje in New
York Mrs. Hartje's attorneys have
contended all along that Exhibit No.
6 was forged reproduction of an
other letter. The admission that the
second letter reached the Hartje side
two months before No. is regarded
as important.
Susie Wagner. on cross-eXamination,
admitted that she had received a letter
from Mrs. Hartje which contained sub
stantially the same things as are found
in Exhibit No. 6, and which she says
she gave to Attorney e. G. Hartje in
New York.
Although the new letter has been
traced to the hands of Mr.. Hartje's
counsel by their own witness it was
not offered as a standard"
In order that she should not be fur
ther subjected to annoyance at the
hands of rowdies, three detectives
guarded Mrs. Hartje while on the
l'street today. The hearing was ad-
| journed today until next week, when
| in two or three days it is expected the
taking of evidence will be completed

KANSAS CITY, July 27.-Frank

habits, and many of them during the
examination admit their unfitness to

AS result, when Judge Wilbur be-
gins to inquire about the children there
is generally either stubborn silence on
the part of the mothers or a decided
tone of Indignation in their voices.
In addition, the mothers as a rule re-

the juvenile board and trouble results.
Spectators Are Surprised
Yesterday the long line of children

sake of Richard Harding Davis valiant
captain admitted a wandering disposi-

strange habit of stealing rides on
freight trains.

and Judge Wilbur called Miss Vaughn,
the boys aunt, and began to question
her,
The conversation was carried on In a
low tone Of voice, and suddenly the
spectators in the court room We're
shocked to hear the woman announce
in loud tone of voice;
"Well, you needn't get so funny
about it,"
"You are in contempt Of court and
will spend one day in jail for that re-
