for another horse and ten dollars,
later he sold the new horse for ten
dollars and failed to even return the
twenty dollars which he got for the
two horses.
A telephone message to this city

Burgort was wanted, and the arrest as
noted above took place. In the even
ing the chief-of-police from New Lon
don came up and took the prisoner to
that city, where he will have to stand

Atty. Geo. P. Hambrecht announced
his candidacy for supervisor Of the
Third ward Tuesday afternoon. His pa
per is being circulated and is meeting
with hearty reception, and the ex-
pressions of approval of Mr.. Ham

cellent equipment for the position he
seeks and will add strength to the

Is is interesting to read the editor
ial and other comments in the daily
press on the Senatorial situation.
From it all we can come to no other
conclusion than that there exists a
general sentiment favoring Isaac
Stephenson for Senator Spooner's
unexpired term, on account of the
past contributions made to the party
by this gentleman.
If this is the proper basis from the
Republican party standpoint, to re-
compense men of means for cOntri-
buttons to the party, by electing them
to the United States Senate. then in
such case il would be proper to recog-
nize the donations made by Mr., Step
henson in the past,
We feel, however, that this is an
entirely false position for the party
to take. Men who are selected for the
United States Senate should be elected
on account of their special education
and fitness for such position. We
consider an election to the United
States Senate next in rank to the
presidency, and therefor state legis-
lature cannot be TO careful in the Sc
lection of its representatives to serve
in that body, We hope the highest
motives for the best good of the state
Of Wisconsin will control the legiS-
lature in the selection of a successor
to the Hon. J. G. Spooner.

Thursday, March 7 1907.

The resignation OF the Hon. John G.
Spooner, senior senator from WiscOn-
sin, was a great surprise to his old
time friends in Wisconsin. His great
value and worth to the State Of Wis
consin will now be realized, Just
what prompted his action is wholly
conjecture. We are at loss to know.
We have always been a great admirer
of the Senator and thought surely he
would be candidate for reelection.
But as he is determined otherwise,
we must accept the situation, and
make the best selection possible TO I'LL
his place.
Who will that be-? We of course
have man in mind, that while he
would not be Senator Spooner's equal
in oratory, he certainly would be in
magnitude of brain power, and wide
scope of experience in matters politi
Cal and for the public we'll fare.
Just what the present legislature is
likely to do of course we can only
guess, but we do hope, that they will
be cautious and careful in selecting
Senator Spooner's successor. May he
be man of ability, excellent moral
character, and man who will stand
firm in the interest of the people in
their rights in all lublic utilities.
He should tie inspired with, and pos
sess all those reform measures that
are now agitating this nation. He
should be right on the tariff, railroad
legislation, coal lands and other COVER
ments lands that are still the proper
ty of the people. We shall expect the
state legislature to be careful and
make the best selection possible in the
interest of the state and our national
commonwealth.
