Senator La Toilette Disturbed.

Senator La Follette's meeting at
the Reedsburg fair grounds on Fri
day last was broken up by horse
men who insisted on exercising
their horses preparatory to the
afternoons races while the senator
was trying to speak. Finally
friends of the speaker ran ladders
across the track. A force of stable
men tried to remove them. A gen
eral fracas followed, and something
akin to riot precipitated. In the
end the horsemen prevailed. Sena-
tor La Toilette said in tones of sup
pressed anger that he had witnessed
the most disgraceful scene he had
ever experienced and left the
grounds. He claimed the attempt
to break up the meeting was prear-
ranged.

BALLOTS ARE READY.
County Clerk Engaged in Sending
Them Out to the Voting Precincts.

The sample official primary ballots
have been printed and are in the
hands of the county clerk.
The sample ballots are printed on
colored paper and are without certi-
ficates or endorsements.
The official ballot is in two sec
lions, perforated and stapled at the
top-a ticket for the republican and
democratic parties. Departments
are provided for state, congressional
and county candidates, allowing as
much space as may be necessary for
the printed names Of the candidates
for each office and then an extra
line IN each for those who choose to
write the names of their favOrites
iDstead Of making the regulation X
opposite the name of the candidates
for whom they desire to vote.
Each ticket is divided into two
columns and at the bottom Of the
right hand column are three blank
lines arranged and placed there for
the party committeeman. And the
ballot in no mistakable words COM
mands the citizen to ''vote for
them" These committeeman must
be originally OF the voters own
choosing, as there are no names of
committee candidates printed on the
ticket. They are just as important
perhaps as the candidates them
selves, for upon this committee will
rest the management of the cam
paign after the primary. Collec-
lively, they compose the county, as
sembly, senatorial and COMPRESSION
al committee for this county.
Many inquiries are coming to the
county officers with reference to the
application of various clauses of the
new law, and they are answered to
the best of the ability of those in
terrOgated. The law itself says:
This statute shall be literally con-
strued so that the real will of the
electors may not be defeated by an
informality or failure to comply
with all provisions of law in respect
to either in the giving of any notice
or the conducting of the primary or
certify ing the results thereof"
Eighteen thousand ballots are re-
CURED for 40 voting precincts in
Grant county.

Davidson a Busy Man.

That Gov. Davidson is adding
greatly to his strength by swinging
round the circle is evident from the
favorable reports received from
places in which he has appeared.
The governor does not pretend to
have the graces of oratory, but he is
an effective campaigner either off or
on the stump. He knows the game;
he is first class mixer: his person
allty is genial one and he strength
ems by personal contact. While he
has the prestige of holding the fort
and the further point in his favor of
the custom of the electorate to give
decent man second term, he has.
nevertheless, no easy contest on his
hands, with his opponent himself
an effective public speaker and re-
enforced by the powerful influence
OF Senator La Follette's champion
ship. But the burden of proof. Sc
to speak, is upon his opponents.
On their ability to prove his in
capacity and that he is not a safe
man with whom to trust the re-
sponsibilities of the high Office of
chief executive for the next two
years must rest largely his fortune.
The governors stock has gone up in
the past few days, since be made the
declaration that in event of his cleo
ton no stop or retrogression in the
work of reform legislation upon
which the state has entered will be
permitted if his influence can pre-
vent it. That he has the vision to
see that the regulation of public
service corporations has just begun
IN Wisconsin and the nation is also
much to his credit. He should have
sounded those notes earlier in the
battle as much effective capital was
made by his opponents upon these
points before he countered. All
who know Gov. Davidson know
that he has thought deeply and has
convictions upon the great cues
lions of regulation of the big public
service agencies He sprang into
prominence IN the assembly by tax
ing advanced ground on these ques-
lions before it was the popular
thing TO do so. Unless power and
the temptations that come with it
have changed his nature he should
be safe man at least to administer
the laws. His ability to shape leg
lation and his wisdom can be de-
termined only by giving him a trial.

Attention Voters.
EDITOR HERALD

EDITOR HERALD
DEAR SIR. AS there are likely a
good many voters who do not under
stand the method of voting under
the primary election law, permit
me to furnish the following instruc-
lions, taken from Section 3, Chapter
424 Laws of 1905, apd Chapter 2
Special Session 1905, and ask that
you give same a conspicuous posi-
ton in your next issue, calling at
tentiOn to same:
"At all primaries there shall be an
Australian ballot made up of several
party tickets herein provided for, all
of which shall be securely fastened to-
gether at the top and folded, provided
that there shall be as many separate
tickets as there are parties entitled to
participate il said primary election.
There shall also be attached a non
partisan ticket nron which, under the
appropriate title of each office shall be
printed the names of all persons for
whom nomination lapers shall have
been filed, as required by this act, who
are not designated on such nomina-
ton papers as candidates of any
political party, as defined by this act.
The names of all candidates shall be
arranged alphabetically to sur-names
under the appropriate title of the
respective offices and under the proper
party designation upon the party
ticket or upon the non partisan ticket
as the case may be. If any elector
write upon his ticket the name of any
person who IS candidate for the same
office upon some other ticket than
that upon which his name is so
written this ballot shall be counted
for such person only as a candidate Of
the party upon whose ticket his name
is written. and shall in nc case be
counted for such person as a candi-
date upon any other ticket. After
preparing his ballot, the elector shall
detach the same from the remaining
tickets and fold it so that it's face will
be concealed and the printed endorse
ments and signatures or initials there
on seen. The remaining tickets at
, tached together shall be folded in like
manner by the elector who shall there
upon, without leaving the polling
place, vote the marked ballot forth
with, and deposit the remaining tickets
in the separate ballot box to be marked
and designated as the blank ballot
box. Immediately after the canvass,
the inspectors shall, without examina-
ton, destroy the tickets deposited in
the blank ballot box"
Very respectfully,
w. A. JOHNSON,
Chairman Republican County Com.

Il. Secretary Bishop was at the
EIkader fair last week and secured
promises for a fine field of race
horse for our fair. The program,
which was published in these
columns, is very interesting. Like
wise, the purses offered for athletic
sports are sure to attract a large
number of exercised men. Every
body is coming to see these races,
or else to see Carrie Nation WELD her
famous understanding Ratchet;
or else to hear Mayor Becker of
Milwaukee; or else to see the ex-
hibits; or else to enjoy 101 other at
fractions. Don't miss the best fair

Straw Hat Season Prolonged.

From Milwaukee, the capital OF
Wisconsin's culture and fashion,
comes the cheering word that straw
hats need not be throwl on the
junk pile on Sept. 1 this year. The
old rule that ones social status
courts destruction if a straw hat is
worn after this date is not to hold
good this time, we are told. The
duration of the wearing of the field
bonnets will be largely dependent
on the weather and if it is at all
warm, we are solemnly assured, a
person may walk the main thorough
fare Of the Badger State metropolis
under a straw hat without being
termed ''rube."

MY taxes are increasing regu-

stand it, said farmer to us few
days since. He continued, I'VE
have been promised reform, and
we hear a good deal about the
admirable changes which have been
adopted in the management of our
state affairs, but it is clear to me
that they are mighty expensive. As
I said, / am contributing to the
state treasury more good deal
than | used to years ago, and what
are we getting for it! We are told
with great emphasis that over
million dollars year IS being
squeezed out of the railroads more
than formerly, and we know that
over million has been paid by the
gene. al government on war claim
account which has been put in the
general. account fund instead of be-
ing restored to the ! 5 funds from
which it was borrow cd, and yet
, taxes keep going up instead of
down. I don't like it, and would
like to see some of this boosted re-
form unreformed.

Value of Advertising.

Don't advertise if you think you
are wasting money. Let your COM
pet1tOr waste his money on advertis-
ing, and perhaps in this way you
can put him cut Of business. Fix
his clock works for him. Just stand
back and laugh at him when you
see him squandering his money for
printers ink. Once there was boy
named John his last name was
Wanamaker, or maybe it was
Moneymaker-surely his name was
John, with some kind of MAKER
attached to his last name. He
owned fifty yards of calico, three
pairs of jeans pants and five pairs
Of boots. He called it a dry goods
store through Philadelphia news
paper and offered to sell pair OF
socks for 80 cents, The don't believe
in advertising merchants just laugh
ed. Young John spent $35 IN ad-
vert1sing through the Philadelphia
Ledger just once and he had less
than 800 worth of goods. He was
cautioned by the merchants who
knew it didn't pay" 1t was
through sympathy that they offered
him advice. But John didn't listen
and blew in his money fooIishly.
Today poor John sees the result Of
his misdoings he has so many dry
goods stores he can hardly find time
to study his Sunday school lesson.

To The Voters of Grant Cou nty.

Gentlemen 1t would be a great
pleasure for me to 60 through the

possible, the county being so large
and the time so short; I have met

] made any deals, or made any
promises. | am not politician,
and know nothing OF the game of
politics.

to the proper enforcement of law.
You have now one of the best
sheriffs Grant county ever had.
He has not made one dollars expense

My aim, if elected, will be to follow
him in this respect.

politics, and square deal for every

A Year Of Abundance.

The high tide of prosperity for
this nation still prevails, and from
all the indications nothing can
check it for at least another year.
The biggest wheat crop ever made
is already assured, and corn, oats,
cotton, potatoes and other crops are
far enough advanced to furnish a
reliable basis for estimates assuring
a like result. Hay is the only crop
that may show a slight decrease,
but the prosperous and happy PEG
pie Of this country are making hay
for themselves in so many other
ways that falling off in the natur-
al product will hardly be felt.
According to the reports of the
department of agriculture the
winter wheat crop amounts to
1913, 434, 900 bushels, the largest on
record. The average yield per acre
is z, the largest ever known, and
within three-tenths of a bushel of
what is usually considered a 100 per
cent crop. The combined winter
and spring wheat crop it about
758. 100000 bushels, which is
ga, 900, 900 bushels ahead of 1905 and
10, 200, 600 bushels more than the
crop of 1901, the largest ever pro-
duced prior to this year.
The corn crop is almost certain to
exceed the record breaking crop of
1905, which is amounted to 2, 707
million bushels. The area this year
is 1.6 per cent greater, or 95, 535, 900
acres, and its condition has been so
improved by timely rains since Aug.
1 that probably all estimates will be
exceeded as much as they were in
regard to the wheat crop, which
fooled the government experts and
everybody else with it's exceeding
richness.
The most comfortable reflection
in regard to this unprecedented
agricultural production is that all
sorts and conditions of people will
get a generous share of this abund-
ant generosity that has rewarded
the labor of the farmers. The
factories and mills are stra1ning
every energy. working over time
night and day, to fill their orders,
which cover more than a year to
come. Jobbers and wholesalers are
buying large stocks in order to meet
the demands of the retailers and the
latter will have to meet larger de-
mand from their customers than
ever before. The consumers will
have plenty of money this fall and
they will spend it freely to crafty
the cultivated tastes and luxurious
desires that have come with
advancing civilization. People are
not satisfied now with what they
thought was good enough ten years
ago. The luxuries of the last de-
cade have become the necessities
of today.
Under these conditions the COM
ing Thanksgiving should be an oc-
casion for general joy and jubilatlon
on the part of the people of this ma
ton. Never before in the history
Of the country, in fact, has there
been time when there was greater
reason for the cultivation of a genu-
inc spirit of thankfulness for bless
ings that have simply deluged
the American people. Peace and
prosperity prevail on every hand,
and there is not a cloud TO fore
shadow a change or darken the
prospects for the future.
