The Buffalo Express thus refers to the

herself over this fact, with becoming

Little Is said about the 81 Canadians
who recrossed the border to take up
homes In Canada West, or of the sos
from Great Britain. or Of the 1926
from non-B British countries. It ap-
pears that the item in this July report
that makes Canada rejoice most is
this OF the 1.212 American farmers
who decided to try their fortunes in
Canada West.

AS the Express well says. the

the reasons given are sufficient to in

SIMPLE BALLOT WANTED

Il Is the opinion OF everybody that ef-
forts TO amend the primary election law
be made at the next session Of the legis-
lature. but proposed changes In the d.
rection of increasing It's complexity
should be distrusted.
One reason for the comparatively light
vose Is believed to be that many cleo
tors deliberately stayed away from the
polls because they did not know how to
vote. That some of those who took part
in the balloting were equally Him
formed was shown By the large number
Of defective ballots reported by the

THE REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.

The ticket nominated by Wisconsin
republicans at the primary election is
in its essentials one worthy Of the sup
port of all party men and citizens gener-
orally who desire to encourage cleanli-
ness, uprightness and efficiency in Off
cisl station. The nominations for gov
ernor and lieutenant goy srnor were new
or In doubt for an hour after the polls
closed, but for every other place on the
ticket IL was days before the result was
known, and on all of them 1t is very
close and practically required the Off.
cial canvass to determine While there
las been wide difference Of opinion as
to choice of candidates no mans name
sppears on the republican state ticket
who has not been thoroughly identified
with the progressive spirit that has pre-
vailed during past years in Wisconsin.
The ticket as now conceded to be nomi-
mated Is:
eovernor-James o. Davidson. Soldiers
Grove.
Lieutenant -Governor-wnliam d. oonnor.
Marshfield.
Secretary OF state-James A. Frsar. Hud-
500.
State Treasurer-Andrew II Dahl, Westby.
Attorney 6ensral-Frank l.. Gilbert, Madi-
son.
Insurance oommissioner-Geo. Z. Beedle,
Waupaea county.
ALI of the gentlemen composing the
ticket are at present filing important
positions in the state except Mr.. Gil
bert, who Is now the efficient district at
torney Of Dane county. Mr.. Davidson
Is now serving as governor, Mr.. Common
Is chairman of the republican state CEN
trail committee, Mr.. Fresr Is member
OF the state senate, Mecsrs. Dahl and
Beedle are members of the assembly.
All of them have served the state with
ability in their respective stations, and
are well qualified to render the people
good service In the new stations for
which they have been named at the pri-
mary.
While the contest for places on the
state ticket has been spirited, there ap-
pears to be no disposition in any quarter
to sulk or question the efficacy OF the
new primary system. All elements &C
cept the result in spirit Of Cancellation
and there will be peace and harmony
and resolute purpose TO carry on the
work and policy well established in the
state.
In the congressional matter there lie
slight variation from the figures given
IN the last issue Of the CENSOR. Mr..
Bsbcock was nominated by about 800
majority Judge Mshoney's majority
was somewhat larger than reported in
Richlsnd county, having received ma
jority Of SO in that county. A little
greater If rt on part Of his supporters
to bring out the voters would have won
the battle easily for him.
