III. Madden of Ashland, candi'
date for the Republican nomina
ton for Congress in this district,
called on the citizens of Eagle
River last Thursday. We con
fidently believe that he convinced
ouf citizens generally that, II
nominated and elected he would
stand squarely on his platform
which was printed in our last is
sue. AS is we'll said in the Wau-
sau Record: If the fortunes OF
politics should send Mr.. Madden
to Washington to represent the
Tenth congressional district, and
his official career should be as
opensa one, as frank and as hon
est as the platform on which he
directs his attention il will be
admitted that he would be. IAN
able representative, and would
bring no discredit upon himself
or upon his constituency Per-
sonally Mr.. Madden is very jovial
and popular and one of the most
companionable men in Northern
Wisconsin,. The best evidence
of his popularity and fitness for
honest Legislative service is the
fact that, factional feeling in the
Republican party in Ashland has
been very bitter, the leaders OF
both : factions, including such
men as j. w. Cochran and s.Sena'
tor A. w. Sanborn are members
of his. personal campaign com
mittee. THE News endorses the
platform and candidacy OF Mr..
Madden ain accordance with its
well known and long established
custom of supporting tor office
without compensation, its choice
of candidates for nominations
and the Republican ticket at the
polls. In view of the COMMUNE
cation which appeared in the
Forest Republican of the 10th,
inst. I'VE deem 1T proper to add
that neither MIR Madden nor
anyone for him has paid or
offered to pay directly or indi-
rectly any money or thing of val
ne for space in the news. We
cannot say as much for his OPP
ponent, who signed the comman
icatiou referred to-"
The Wisconsin Valley Leader
of Grand Rapids, says: Mara
thon county is the largest county
in the Tenth congressional dis
trict, in voting strength, being
about twice the size of the next
largest county, and many times
the size of some counties i'll the
district. Wausau, the county
seat of Marathon county, has the
only Republican daily newspaper
in the district outside of Ashland
county. The fact therefore that
the Republican newspapers OF
Marathon county are cordially
endorsing the candidacy OF
James Ii. Madden of Ashland,
for the Republican congressional
nomination, .and confidently pre-
dieting that he will win the nom
iuation, eloquently shows tn,
popularity and strength of Mr.
Madden as candidate and as
citizen and indicates beyond an
question that he is sure to win
