FOR COMMISSIONER
OF INSURANCE

L hereby make formal announce
ment that | will stand for the Re-
publican nomination before the
primaries next September as a candi-
date for Commissioner of Insurance.
l am prompted TO make this an
nOuncement, not upon the urgent
solicitation of my friends, but after
some investigation and careful study
of insurance, | have concluded that |
would like TO become Commissioner
of Insurance in this great state of
ours.
Ii the Republicans of the state by
their vote at the primaries September
4th select me as the Republican nOmi-
nee and should | be elected. | will
perform the duties of the office of
Commissioner of Insurance to the
best of my ability.
Regarding future insurance legis-
latiOn which the state is iD great
need of, may make some suggestions
after the legislative Insurance Investi-
CATION Committee of which l am a
member, has finished its labors and
reached its final conclusions.
As my time is fully occupied by the
insurance investigation now in pro-
gresS, L will have to depend largely
upon the people of the state and more
especially my friends to assist lie in
circulating my nomination papers.
Those who are in position to assist
me will please write me at the city of
Clintonville. Wis, from which place
my nomination parers will be dis

PURE FOOD LAWS

The recent Investigation If the
great packing houses has called the
attention of the nation to the fact
that our pure food laws are not com
prehenSive enough.
The people have right to know
that their food is wholesome and is
prepared under clean and healthy
conditions. Experience has shown
that private corporations will not, il
left TO themselves, look out for the
health of the consumers. Canning
factories, packing houses, butter and
cheese factories, bakeries, pickel
factories and all places where foou Is
prepared must be under intelligent
government inspection.
| believe that embalmed beef killed
more of our soldiers than Spanish
bullets, and that impure and adulter,
ated food has secured more victims
than the great White Plague. | favor
more stringent pure food laws with a
Jail penalty for their violation.

is GOVERNOR DAVIDSON
KEEPING THE FAITH?

There is one feature of the
Davidson-Connor combination
that will grow in Importance as
the campaign progresses-Gov
Davldson's consenting to be
come a party to such a deal.
Does the governor think he is
living up to the spirit of the
primary election law! Has he
not by a single act done all in
his power TO give the lie to the
protestations on which the new
system of nomination was put
into our statutes?
LaFollette owes much of his
snccess to his attacks on the boss
system. He made many people
believe that through political
combines he was beaten out of
the nomination for governor,
even after the majority of the
people had pronounced in his
favor.
Is there any difference between
Mr.. Davidson and Mr.. Connor
plotting to control a nomination
for governor and the same thing
when done by the old bosses? Is
1T any better now to dispose of
United States senatorship, long
before the people have taken up
the consideration of the matter,
then it was to do that kind of
business in other days?
Will people today be more
satisfied to have a millionaire
control their politics that he
may become senator than they
were before the primary election
was brought into being?
The one argument made to
date for Mr.. Davidson's candi-
dacy is that he personally has
always been a loyal supporter of
the principles on which La
Toilette md his Half-Breed fac
ton came into power. Would
he be standing by these principles
by becoming party to a com
to control the governor
ship and United States senator

VOLUME 40, NUMBER 25
MORAVIAN DISTRICT SYNOD

! The Fourth District of the Moravian
church Northern Province) held it's
sixth Synod in this city. The del
egates and ministers present from
North Dakota, Minnesota and this
state were faYorably impressed with
the city, and especially with the
splendid hospitality of the local con-
gregation. The Rev. Paul DeSchwein-
itz, of Bethlehem, Pa, member of
Provincial Elders Conference, and
Provincial Treasurer, presided.
The District Executive board COM
posed of the Rev, Karl Mueller, of
Watertown; Henry Richter, of Union
vile, Mich. and Gerhard Francke, of
North Dakota; and Mr.. julius
StrehlOw, of Watertown were re-
elected, Tie congregational reports
showed that great progress had been
made and that the outlook for the
church'S growth in the district is very
encouraging.
The character Of the evening meet
ingS was devotional. Visiting mip-
listers made stirring addresses at their
meetings. On Sunday the First and
Second Noravian churches celebrated
their annual Nilsson Festivals, and a
combined Offering of $40 was taken.
1t may be of interest TO our readers
to know that this great pioneer mis-
Sionary church has also the honor of
being the oldest Protestant denomina-
tion in the world. The church was
founded in 1857, sixty years before the
great Reformation. That Moravians
are noted for their missionary zeal
may be seen from the fact that they
have almost two and one-half times as
many members in the foreign field as
in the home church, and so widely are
their missions scattered throughout
the world that the sun never sets on
the MOravi0n church.
There were about rs ministers and
delegates in attendance, and the
session closed Sunday night,

Don't sign a nomination paper fo r
a candidate for office and think that
is the end of it. When you sign such
paper yor also pledge yourself to
support the candidate whose paper
you sign. 1t is pledge long time
before the nomination and often
before you know who are to be other
candidates. If we are not mistaken a
good many people are signing nomi-
nation papers without knowing this.
If you are not ready to pledge a man
your support do not sign his n0mi-
