DEMOCRATIC MEETING
HELD LAST NIGHT
(From Fridays Daily.)

A good audience greeted Hon. j. w.
Murphy, Democratic candidate forcon-
gress in the 3rd district, and his speak
ing mate, Hon. 7. l.. Cleary, in A. O.
U. w. hall last night. Mr.. Cleary
spoke first, devoting himself to national
issues and incidentally taking fall out
of the incumbent congressman, Hon.
! j. w. Babcock. He is a forceful
speaker, ready with argument and
gifted in voice and manner. His re-
marks were often interrupted by ap-
plause and his sallies of Irish wit pro-
voked much laughter.
More interest was manifested in the
candidate, Mr.. Murphy, and those
present seemed not to be disappointed.
He is an easy, forceful speaker, happily
wanting in the partisan abuse SO often
heard from the political platform.
State issues were discussed at length,
and the reasons for retiring the present
congressman, ,as Mr.. Murphy sees them,
were dispassionately presented. He
went into the labor question and pre-
sented his views, and practices as an
employer.
Mr.. Murphy is a lawyer and lead
miner at Plattville. Hewas the son of
miner, worked as a section hand on
the railroad, graduated from the normal
school, taught school and finally ac-
quired legal education. He is at
present mayor of his home city.

question of the permanent improve
ment of the public roads, which be-
longs to everybody-then will we send
men to congress who have the busi-
ness ability and honesty to vote for
national aid to the states-member of
| the legislature with courage and loyal
ty to their constituents to vote for
state aid to the counties and county
road officials who will be for county
aid to the township and the townships
to aid the individual land owner. All
money so appropriated to be used un-
| der the supervision of a practical road
builder and scientific engineer. The
National Good Roads Assn. therefore
advocates four essentials to practical
and successful road building-first, the
payment of all road taxes in money;
we believe that man should have no
more right to work out his road tax
than he has to teach out his school tax,
heis usually::as competent to do the first
asIthe last.Second, we advocate the use
all of criminals in our jails and peni-
tentiaries, either in the preparation
of material Or the actual construction
of streets and roads. Third, the creation
of the office of a state highway COM
mission, similar to state school COM
mission, having in each county a
county highway commissioner who is
a practical road builder and an eX-
perienced engineer. We mean that
the government should assist the states
in building its highways over which
the commerce of the country is carried.
| We mean by state aid that all the
taxable wealth of the state contribute
it's part in building and maintaining
the roads in all the counties. How
fortunate the taxpayer who lives in
, W1sconsin-nOt cent of state tax to
pay except for schools and that re-
duced few days ago one-half. There
fore of all money appropriated for state
aid not one cent would come from the
farmer, the merchant, the manufacture
er, but from the corporations and their
resources. Every state today making
permanent and rapid improvement in
road building has adopted these meas
ures, nineteen states under state super
vision and state aid, beginning with
New Jersey Is years ago and ending
with old Virginia less than one yeal
, ago, including New York whose pro
gressive people voted last November
S5O,O00,0 900, for state aid, the state pay
ing half, the counties half, making
1O0,O0O,000 One hundred millions
dollars to be spent in building perma
nent roads in the next two years. Dc

selves. You have not looked at this
matter in a business-,.ke way. You
have allowed designing politicians
and timid office holders to think for
you. Forget partisan politics. Organ

sociation. Meet together monthly.
Advise and counsel together. Then
but one conclusion can be reached.
Columbia county and all Wisconsin
will have as good streets in your cities,
as good roads in your county and state
as any in the wonderful republic.
Population in cities, county and state
will increase. Happier and more pros
porous farmers. Larger cities. A more
contented people. We appeal to the
press, one of the great forces for good,
to aid in this movement, the ministers
and the man and woman who loves
his fellowmen, the teachers of human
thought, the father and sons of good
men to vote for men who will enact
such lsws as will give to the great
state of Wisconsin as progressive and
business like laws upon the subject of
roads as it has in other incompatible
laws upon taxation. Wonderful is
grand old Wisconsin in all things eX-
cept her road laws.
Colonel w. III. Moore addressed the
afternoon meeting and cOmplimented
Baraboo and Sauk county on the ex-
cellent showing that is being made on
the road question. At Portage yester-
day, the colonel made frequent refer
ences to Sauk county's advanced work
in this direction.
The colonel urged everybody to vote
in favor of the state aid plan when it
comes up for settlement in this state.
In speaking of the state aid plan he
told what had been adopted and he ex
pressed the hope that the campaign of
education now being inaugurated thru
out Wisconsin would induce the estab-
lishment of bureau of state road build
ing with competent officials properly
to attend to the work.
The speaker predicted that some day
America would follow the example of
Europe and plant fruit or nut-bearing
trees along all the highways, the pro-
ceeds of the crop being devoted to

the tracks. Ben Stoen of the rubber
mills produced some heavy wrapping
paper and carefully wrapping up the
severed limbs of the girl carried them
TO the dooryard, whore he deposited

them into the house. Manager An.
drus of the Rubber Mills company,
was one of the first on the scene and
was almost completely overcome,
'My foot was canght, mamma, said
| the dying girl, whose wide eyes look
ed wistfully into the tear-stained face
of the mother.
II want to die right away, mamma"
she said. The child was conscious
and talked to her parents for nearly
an hour, before death came. She did
not seem to suffer pain.
"You don't want to die, do you Ma
mie?" asked George Johnson, who ac-
companied the mother to the house
with the injured child.
"Oh / don't mind, Mr.. Johnson, I'll
be with the angels then, won't mann
MAJ" she said looking up into her
mothers face.
Mrs. Hunt asked if doctor had been
summoned, and the child, overhear-
ing the question, said:
"You don't need to get a doctor,
mamma, for I'm going to die" lo'
DR.. F. G.. Suitor, who was called
said she could not live, and the end
came about 5 o'clock, just an hour
after the accident.
The child attended the branch of
the Fifth district school, Island and
Berlin streets. Dagna Senstad, who
tried in her childish helplessness to
save her friend, narrowly escaped
similar fate, trying to pull the victim
from her predicament. Her hand was
scratched in the accident by the train.
Every one who witnessed the Incl
dents following the accident soon af-
ter it occurred, said it was the most
pathetic scene they had ever seen.
Big policemen were so moved by
the speech of the little girl that it
brought tears to their eyes.
Other men from the rubber mills
who rushed out, were dumbfounded
and could do nothing to assist.
The brakeman who rushed to the
rubber mills to telephone, after the
accident, ran to the window of the
office rooms and stood speechless,
pounding on the window. When it
was open he still was unable to ut
ter word for some time.
Rev. Ambrose Murphy was at the
home about half an hour after the ac-
cident. The little girl passed away
very peacefully without any apparent
pain or even tear and several times
expressed her wish to die.
1t is learned at the rubber mills
that young lady who was employed
there, about seven years ago, was al
so killed at the same place one morn
ing while going to work.

Child Talks and Smiles
With Body Cut in Twain

There are few incidents in this world
more pathetic than the death of little
Mamie Hunt, who was born in Bara
boo, and whose parents, Mr.. and Mrs
VIM. Hunt lived here until recently
They are related to Mrs. Walter
Palmer and Mrs. FL. Delap. The La
Crosse Tribune tells the story as fol
lows:
"Content to die that she might soon
be among the angels she had learned
of in the good book, little 7-year-old
Mamie Hunt lived and talked soOth-
ingly to her grief-stricken mother fol-
an hour after her body had been cut
in twain by Northwestern switching
train shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon at the road crossing at the
rubber mills.
The child was walking briskly home
from school with little 6-year-old Dag
ma Senstad, and when they reached
the crossing she started to walk across
the cattle guard which guards the
tracks. One of her feet slipped
through, and tug as she would, she
could not release it.
She. told the little Senstad girl to
unlace her shoe so she could slip hel
foot out, but, perhaps too frightened,
this was not done in time. She tugged
frantically, but in vain, and in terror
watched the box car, which was being
pushed ahead of the engine, which
pulled severall more behind it, beal
down upon her.
Engineer German was at the throt-
tie, and his view was no doubt oh.
structed by the box car being pushed
ahead.

ing upon the top of the front car saw
the little girl and tried to notify the
engineer in time, but failed. The
train was going northward at rapid
rate, and though the engineer threw
the throttle the moment he noticed
the brakeman's frantic order, it was
not until moment after the child
was struck. The first car and the
engine passed over her body at
the hips.
William Hunt, until two weeks ago a
conductor on the Northwestern, was
standing in the back yard of his home
on Indian hill, only short distance
from the tracks when he heard the
three warning shrieks of the engines
whistle and heard the engineer
sthrown the throttle. Foreseeing an
accident he rushed to the scene, close.

found their little girl lying between
the cars which followed the engine
in the center of the road crossing
where she had been dragged by the
wheels.

her body in her apron ran screaming
to-. their home, accompanied by

first on the scene.

(From Fridays Daily.)

Formation of a permanent Sauk
County Good Roads association was
foreshadowed by sentiments expressed
at the opening session of the county
good roads convention at the A. o. U.
w. hall this morning.
Prominent among those present and
urging that line of action were Col. w.
III. Moore and Col. T. P. RiXey, ST.
Louis, respectively president and lee
turer and counsel of the National Good
Roads association, under the auspices
of which the Sauk county convention
was called. They are organizing the
various counties of Wisconsin. Col.
Moore is accompanied by his secre-
tary, Justin G.. Bradburn, Houston,
Texas.
Sessions of the convention were held
this morning and this afternoon. This
evening the convention at the First
NJ. E. church, will hold its closing
session, to which everybody is invited.
The audience that assembled at A.
o. U. w. hall at ten o'clock was mot
large, but was greatly interested in the
subjects discussed. The meeting was
called to order by Mayor E. G.. Mar
riOtt who welcomed the officers of the
National Good Roads Association and
introduced Charles Wild, who pre-
sides at all of the meetings of the day.
Mr.. Wild said that change had been
made in the program to accommodate
Col. Rixey, who had to leave on the
afternoon train.
Col. T. P. Rixey, lecturer of the Ma
tiOnal Good Roads Association, whose
subject was Legislation" in part
said at the forenoon session:
The power creating city, county
state and national government is by
legislation, the creative power is the
individual voter. Every man directly
woman and child indirectly, should
feel an interest and have knowledge
of all laws for their government. Upor
no subject has there been more legis
latiOn and less practical bus. ness-like
4 results than in the enactment of so
called road laws. No question which
has ever been before the American peo
pie is of more vital interest to all classe:
than that of Good Road Ways. A
good road from the home to the schoo
and church, from the farm to a gooC
market easily reached every day in tn,
year. Members of congress and ou
state legislatures become frenzied upol
the subject of railroads, trusts an,
