Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1906-08-30

fight. II has been conceded all
along that the northern counties
in the district would go solidly
for Mr.. Madden, and, while it
was reported that he was also
strong in the southern counties
as well, this statement by the
Central Wisconsin, conceding
him the nomination, comes as a
pleasant surprise to the friends
who are working in his behalf.
All the Wausau paper says of Mr..
Madden is quite true. He is a
good, whole hearted man who
recognizes man for his manly
worth and not by the size of his
bank account, and it seems to US
that is the stamp of man needed
now in congress. A man whose
ideas are right and who has the
courage of his convictions and
the honesty necessary to the
carrying out to the fullest extent
those ideas is the man for the
Republicans of the Tenth dis
trict. Such a man is Madden.
He is thoroughly in accord with
the Roosevelt policy and he is
the kind of a man who cannot be
bought or intimidated. Mr..
Madden keeps busy with his con-
gressional campaign, and judg
ing from newspaper reports from
different parts of the district he
looks like a sure enough winner.
He has recently issued a plat
form which is brief and to the
point yet it covers the entire sit
uation and the voter is not lett
in doubt as to what he means.
The Tigerton Chronicle, Sh Ia
wanna County, is in line with the
other papers in Shawano county
in its endorsement of Mr.. Mad
den. In its last issue that paper
says: Although James H.
Madden, candidate for Congress
from the Tenth district, stated
his political principles at the
time of his first announcement,
he has seen fit to make formal
declaration of the platform upon
which he takes his stand in this
campaign. The platform is
what one might expect from a
man of MIR. Madden's character.
1t is an open straight forward
declaration of a man who has at
heart the best interests of the
people of the whole country as
well as of the district which he
seeks to represent. He takes as
his ideal the Republicanism of
Theodore Roosevelt. Every
body knows what that means; it
means an impartial, fearless gov
eminent in the interest of all
classes. A ceaseless fight against
the aggressions of the trusts and
great corporations that are abus-
ing the privileges granted them
in their charters by the people.
He does not pander to the rich,
nor does he allow prejudice to
blind him to the fact that they
have rights which just govern
ment is bound to respect. These
are the principles of Theodore
Roosevelt and these are the prin
|ciples which Mr.. Madden prom
ises, if elected. to assist the presi-
dent in carving out. Read his
platform which will be found on
the first page that you may know
just where he stands.
The Shawano County Journal
after speaking of MIR. Madden as
popular aud getting there in
his candidacy, publishes the fol
lowing: In another column in
this issue will be found the plat
form of James III. Madden, the
Ashland candidate for congress
from this congressional district.
In previous issue of the Journal
Mr.. Madden made a strong APP
peal to the voters, but in his
platform he sets forth a power
full and logical plea which cannot
help, but vim him friends and
supporters. He is making a
spirited canvass, and one very
noticeable and highly commend
able feature of his campaign has
been his freedom from personal
tiles and mud singing tactics,
He is a thorough gentleman, a
representative citizen OF his
home city and makes friends
wherever he goes. Mr.. Mad
den's platform is a splendid one
and should be read by every
body"
