ELLINGSON TALKS POLITICS
And Incidentally of Lot of Business
to Rusk County People.
Hawkins, Wis.,, June 10, 1905

Hawkins, Wis.,, June 10, 1906.
To the Republicans of Rusk County:
The writer wishes hereby to express
his sincere thanks to the many promi-
nent republicans of Rusk and Chippewa
counties, who during the last few
weeks have been urging me to come out
as candidate for member of assembly.
I feel very grateful for the confidence
you bestow in me, but regret to state
my business would not at this time per-
nit me to become candidate, hence
must decline the honor.
But, Gentlemen: the time has come
that the republicans of Rusk county
should lay aside all petty sores, unite,
and stand together for the best interest
of the county. Do this and feel as
sured the republicans of Northern Chip
pewa county will cheerfully grant us
our right, which is to have a Rusk
county man to go to the assembly this
time.
Many measures of vital import to
Northern Wisconsin will come before
the next legislature, amongst them a
move to establish an emigration bureau,
that the state of Wisconsin may have
an equal show with states further west
to get at least share of the great in
flux of emigration to this country.
Look what Minnesota has done in the
last few years, and look what Mime
sofa promises to do in the republican
state platform just adopted; and further
what practically every state west of
us is doing in line of informing the
homeseeking public of the advantages
of their states respectively, and, again,
see the great stream of home seekers
going right through our state off to the
Northwestern British territory.
1t is true the greater part of the last
named stream return, wiser but poorer,
and disappointed men. Still if the adj
vantages of Northern Wisconsin had
been clear to them they would come
here first.
Now, then, Wisconsin needs to do
something, and the legislators from
Northern Wisconsin have got to take
the lead.
Hence, let Rusk county wake up and
send man down to the legislature
whose experience and knowledge Of the
requirements of Northern Wisconsin is
broad enough so he will and can stand
for our best interest. | will support
any such republican who stands and
has stood for republican principles as
expressnd in our national and state
republican platforms.
Yours very truly,
c.. K. ELLINGSoN.
