in NUTSHELL VIM every voter who

TO POSSIBLY HEAR
GOVERNOR DAVIDSON
EFFORT BEING MADE TO HAVE
HIM HERE SOON.
Plan Big Rally Soon After Visit of
VIM. j. Bryan on l7th-Cdm-
paign Managers Very Hopeful
Senator SpOOner Likely to Close
Campaign.
(From Wednesdays DaiIy.)

The scheduled visit of the Great
Commoner, VIM. jennings Bryan, in
Watertown On the afternoon of We'd
nesday, Oct. 18th, has awakened in
the republican camp the necessity of
counter acting what inroads may be
made by the Nebraskan, who has
twice stood for the presidential cleo
ton and who would not dodge the
thing again if it came sailing around
his way.
To this end, George j. Klspert,
chairman of the Republican county
committee of jefferson ccunty, visited
Milwaukee Monday to STIR the state
central committee to a realization
that it is time they were up and doing
as far as Watertown is concerned. 1t
is understood that Mr.. Klspert as as
sured that Governor J. 0. Davidson
would be sent here at an early date
No time was set for the visit Of the
chief executive, but it was intimated
that a good time would be soon after
the visit of Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Kispert was also assured that
an effort would be made to have u
S. Senator John G. Spooner visit
Watertown at later date IN the cam
paign, possibly to close the campaign
here. 1t is understood that an effort
is being made by some of the local
republicans to induce Senator Spooner
to include Watertown in his tour of
the state in the interest of the David
SON Connors ticket. Then it is learned
that an effort will also be made to
secure Senator La Toilette at some
time during the campaign.
Roy C. Twining of Waterloo, the
republican candidate for district at
torney, has begun an active campaign,
which was opened last night with a
rally at Pennington, he addressing
the gathering. He is also booked for
tonight and tomorrow evening he
speaks at Ixonia. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Twining intends to speak
every night till the close of the cam
paign.

The Girl Who Succeeds.

She has so much to do that she
has no time for morbid thoughts.
She nerve thinks for moment that
she is not attractive, nor forgets to
look as charming as possible
She is considerable of the happiness
of others, and it is reflected back to
her as in looking glass.
She never permits herself to grow
old, for by cultivating all the graces
of heart, brain and body, age does
MT come to her.
She awakens cheerfully in the morn
ing. and closes her eyes thankfully at
night.
She believes that life has some
serious work to do. and that the
serious work lies very close to the
homely everyday duties, and that kind
words costs nothing.
She is always willing to give sug-
gestions that will help some less for
tunate over the bad places in life's
journey.
She is ever ready to talk about
a book, picture, or play, rather
than to permit herself to indulge in
idle words about another.
She is her own sweet, unaffected,
womanly self: therein lies the secret
CT her popularity, of her success.

ing for absolute fairness between the
interests of labor and interests of
capital, condition which does not
exists to day, for republican policies
have given capital all the advantages
! to the detrlment of the laboring man.
The Second congressional district
should be represented by d man hold
ing these democratic ideas upon the
tariff question, upon the trust question
and upon the question of placing labor
and capital upon an equality basis,
giving labor advantage, if advantage
is to be given, instead of capital.
Such man would fully represent the
non partisan opinion Of nine-tenths of
the district, and when people get to
voting their judgment instead of Cheir
party politics, which is nothing more
or less than a chronic prejudice they
will vote for men representing their
own honest sentiment.
The republican party has repeatedly
said 1.-The tariff ought to be revised,
but let it be revised by it's friends >
Tariff reformers have listened to
these promises of reform fol many
years, but after election the tariff
reform republican has found that the
protected interests and trusts abso-
lutely in control of the republican
party have prevented even an attempt
at tariff reduction. So by this time
it ought to be apparent to any voter
who wants a reduction Of tariff taxa
ton, that to get it he must vote for
candidate for congress who believes
in reduct.o~, and is pledged to reduc-
ton.
The republican party is pledged
through It's leaders to Stand-pat" on
the tariff, to continue to foster trusts
and combines by that "stand-pat''
policy, and hence the only thing left
for voter to do, who believes in
| tariff reform, is to vote against the
candidate Of the party that is pledged
to reduce the tariff and knock thefoun-
dation out from under the trusts and
combinations that are throttling com
petition and concentrating the wealth
of the country in the pockets of the
favored few.
Vote for George w. Lewis.

VARSITY BOYS ARE
NOT DISCOURAGED
Say That Game With RipOn
Saturday Should Be
Disputed.

There is in no way an i'll feeling
between the Northwestern University
students and their football team be-
cause the team lost last Saturday.
One and all became aware Of the fact
last Saturday that the team is made
up of better and faster material than
was anticipated at the opening of the
season. Had 1t not been for the hard
luck in the first half and the unlawful
playing in the second half, the Ripon
ties would have a different tale to
tell. There is no reason whatever
for Ripon to boast about their ''foot
ball ability" except unlawful play
ing can be called ability. There has
been quite little said of disputing
the game. Ripon College belongs to
the college league and the matter may
be brought up before conference.
1t wouldn't be more than right. Stu
dents at the university are fully con-
fident that their football eleven can
defeat Ripon. Luetke, last years
player, who stopped playing for some
time will probably join the squad and
be in the next game.

ANOTHER FATALITY
OCCURRED IN CITY
JOHN RICHARDS MEETS DEATH
ON RY. TRACK,
Run Down BY Milwaukee Limited
While on Way tOWOrk-S Stepped
From Between Tracks Directly
in Front of Limited-OnCOminq
Train Ends Life.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

A sad and horrifying fatality oc-
CURED yesterday morning on the c., M.
& st. P. railway tracks. This time
the victim of the awful catastrophe was
John Richards, a we'll known and
highly respected citizen of this city.
The accident which resulted in instant
death happened on the above named
road, between the Ninth and Tenth
street crossing.
The deceased had left his home in
good spirits, being in happy frame
of mind. He was on his way to work
for Frank Cowen on culvert work just
outside the city and was about to
join a crew at the Third street rail-
way crossing He was carrying
his dinner pail in one hand, not
realizing that death was so near and
that in an instant life would be crush
ed out by the on coming fast limited
from behind.
The supposition is that Mr.. Richards
is walking along thinking of his work
and possibly of the dear ones he had
left so recently at his home.
Mrs. Fred Hack, who resides in
the vicinity of where the accident
occurred, was an eye witness to the
awful accident. The lady, who was
driving cow to the pasture at the
time, states that Mr. Richards was
walking along between the tracks.
She saw the approaching limited and
adds that the victim turned and looked
around and observed the train. In
stead of stepping onto the empty track
he moved over directly in front Of the
oncoming train only to be hurled
therefrom to his death.
Mr.. Richards was struck on the
head, causing instant death.
The engineer on the locomot i've
attached to the limited reported at
the depot that man had been injured
and the police authorities of the city
informed of the accident. Policeman
Bruegger at once went to the scene
of the accident and finding the corpse
had it brought to the city morgue,
where it remained until taken to his
late home TO be prepared for burial.
The deceased was a good husband,
brother, citizen and neigbhor, and his
untimely death is deplored by host
of friends in the city.
The deceased was a son of the late
Moses F. Richards and was born her,
thirty-one years ago. He is survived
by his wife and two children. No
inquest was held. The remains were
removed from the morgue to the home
yesterday afternoon.

There is liable to be considera BILE
trouble about October LIST when
the new meat inspection law goes
into effect. Secretary Wilson said
this week that not one outof ten
butchers and packers throughout
the country had either applied for
for inspection or were ready for it.
In fact the Department Of Agricnl-
ture has gone beyond the strict
necessities of the law and has sent
out to warn a number OF packers
that the time in which they may
get ready for inspection is draw
ing very short. Many Of the
smaller concerns, of course do bust
ness wholly within state lines, and
consequently will not be touched
by the new law, but u large number
of them are located close to the
state lines and do an interstate bust
ness. The railroads are fully alive
to the situation and have assured
the Secretary that after October LIST
they will not transport meat in
interstate commerce unless it bears
the inspectors stamp, so there is
quite likely to be small sized
meat famine when the new law
first goes into effect. ~
