this part of Wisconsin, came
from Michigan and scattered
throughout this Tenth congress
sional district; there are there
fore, many woodsmen and log
drivers, who worked side by side
with Mr.. Madden years ago in
lower Michigan, and know that
he is a man of sterling worth
who has established himself with
these men and with others, who
have known him later in life as
well, as a man worthy of the con-
| tidenCe, respect and support of
every citizen. Wherever one goes
through this district, and finds
one of these men who has
worked with Mr.. Madden in
| the woods or on the drive,
there is to be found an enthu-
siastic supporter in favor of j..
| H. Madden for congress, for
tried out at honest labor, these
men know that Mr.. Madden
| has proven to be Industrious
and ambitious, a man who has
the courage of his convic tons,
and one who is in full sympa
thy with his fellow men. Mr..
| Madden is not a lawyer, but he
IS representative of that great
army of business and laboring
men, who certainly pos sess the
intelligence and ability to- have
one of their own representatives
in congress, who is alive to the
actual conditions in this district
who, from fifteen years of ser
vice in Northern Wisconsin, is in
close touch with the interests of
the people and who has shown
by his record, from the time he
left school to earn all honest liv
i. ing until the present time, that
. he cannot be driven or compelled
to do anything except what is
fright and just to his fellow
men.

vigorous campaign that spells
success to the well known Ash
