ALTHOUGH the people generally may
not realize it, there will be an election
in this state next spring that will un-
doubtedly attract as much attention as
any regular fall election held on So
called "off year." This election will be
for the purpose of naming party dele
gates to the national conventions to be
held later in the season, which in turn
will name the nominees to appear on the
national tickets to be voted on in No
vember. Each congressional district in
the state will select two delegates for
each party to attend the national con-
vention of that party, and the voters of
the entire state, following party affilia-
tions, will also vote on four delegates at
large to each of the big national meet
ings. The nominations for delegates
will be made in all cases in the same
manner provided by law for the nomina-
ton of candidates to be voted on at a
regular election. The selection of an
equal number OF alternates will be made
by the state central committee OF each
party, following the selection OF the reg
ular delegates in the manner already de-
scribed.

The theoretical free traders tell US that
every man in the country has felt its

THE state railroad commission an
nounced decision on August Sd order
ing a reduction ia the freight rates on
live stock in the state from 20 TO % per
cent The order is a result of formal
complaint filed more than year ago by
Secretary of State Houser. The com
mission, after an investigation of the
Wisconsin livestock rates, find them
much higher than for the same service
in Iowa and Illinois, and out of proper
ton to the cost of the service in Wis
consin, and came to the conclusion that
the railroads are charging Wisconsin
shippers Of live stock more than enough
to pay the cost of the service and fair
return on the money invested, figuring
the interest at 10 per cent. A large re-
duction is made from all points IN the
state to Milwaukee.

EVERY town chairman in the state has
been appointed delegate to represent
his town at the Good Roads convention
in Milwaukee Sept II. With this ap-
pointment has been sent card on which
to make nomination for other delegates
from his town. A highly representative
gathering from all parts of the state is
thus assured, and the influence of this
body on the future of roads in Wiscon-
sin will be very important. Such con-
vention of persons interested in roads
will exert a tremendous influence in
their local towns toward more public
spirited interest in roads. Everybody's
business is usually nobody's business,
and the roads of the state have suffered
from this worse than other departments
of public work When the interest of
the people is aroused this condition will
rapidly change.

Canton Boy Can't Stay
Away From Cleveland.
Third Flight.

Cleveland, Ohio, April 17.-Samuel
Wagner, aged fourteen years, can
not resist the glare OF the
large city. He says he wants TO
live where there is noise and hustle
and artificial light.
For the third time within almost as
many days Samuel was picked mp
here yesterday by a patrolman and
turned over TO the juvenile court.
This time he may stick in jail for a
while.
The boy comes from a good fam
lily in Canton. lie ran away last week
because his mother would not let him
have sugar on his pop corn instead
OF salt. His brother. student in
the Canton High school, explained
the circumstances when he came here
to take Samuel back.
The brother and the patrolman got
as far the the public square with
Samuel, but there the boy gave them
the slip. The police picked him up
again a couple OF days ago, and
then It was his father who came here
TO take him home.
Yesterday the police found Samuel
in town again. Canton, he says is
too quiet, and he couldn't stand It
after seeing Cleveland. He is ex-
ceedlngly frank in assuring his cap
tors that when they send him back
10 Canton he will return again.

The war for three cent street car
fare in the city of Cleveland has again
resumed. And 1t looks as though the
fight would be to a finish this time.
The old company, whose franchises
are fast expiring, will It is claimed,
attempt to buy the election next fall
as was done in Chicago recently. If
this can be accomplished the streets
of Cleveland will be thrown over to
the mercies Of hoggish corporation
and the people in the end will pay
"the price" Mayor Tom Johnson,
who is leading the fight for the op-
position, is very confident that three
cent fare will win. At any rate it
looks as though the people have de-
cided that they actually want three
cent fare. This being the case they
will no doubt get IL.

policies created quite a stir through
out the country, but now comes an.
other Of a similar character in which
1t is claimed that secret plans have
been perfected by which great funu
Is to be raised TO see that another
conservative like Alton b. Parker,
is nominated at the Democratic ma.
tional convention in 1908. In DEM
ocratic circles 1t has been taken
pretty well for granted tnat Bryan
would control the organization next
year and that the Nebraskan would
be accepted as the nominee without
any show of opposition. II is appar-
ent, however, that Bryan has pit
falls before him. II will be remem-
bered that the defeat of the progress
sive Democracy at the last Demo-
cratic national convention was
brought about largely through trick
cry in New York and Illinois and
In the South. This it is claimed will
be attempted again this year. Pres
ident Roosevelt, II is said, firmly be-
lieves that every attack upon him
like the ones made by President Har-
riman. Colonel Harvey and Senator
Foraker puts nail in the coffin
which he has unfolded to the coun-
try. The president further believes
that the conspirators have shown
that they intend TO take no chances.
They fear, (the conspirators) It is as
serted, that II a conservative were
TO be nominated to run against Bry-
an that chances Of victory for the
latter at the polls the following No
vember would be greatly enhanced.
So the plan is 10 down Bryanism, IL
possible, along with Rooseveltism.
As between Bryan and an anti
Roosevelt candidate on the Republi-
can ticket, the Democratic reaction
aries would support the latter. AS
between Republican candidate OF
the Roosevelt type and "conserva-
tive" Democrat, the Republican re-
actionaries would support the Demo-
cratic ticket. With both parties in
their control. II is pointed out, that
the Republican and Democratic con-
spirators would rest content In the
knowledge that whichever party won
the election, they could not lose.
Hence large funds will be raised TO
control both OF the national conven-
tions next year and It remains with
he voters in both parties whether the
presidency OF the United States can
actually be bought with money.

MORE SALARY
For Members Of the Ohio Legislature.
Retiring Member May Vote
For II.
CBy Geo. U. MaryIn.l

Columbus, o., April 17.-An effort
will be made at the next session OF
the legislature TO Increase the sal
aries OF the members from 5000 per
year to $1,000. It is argued that this
will be none too much and that in
reality and justice the advance
should be 20 5000 or double the
amount that members receive now.
Members who have been in the city
during the past few days have almost
unanimously declared themselves in
favor of the change although unwill-
ing to say that they would vote for
a bill 10 that effect IL II were pre-
sented. They say that 5000 is an
entirely unfair sum and requires a
personal sacrifice upon the part OF a
man who comes here to make the
laws and look after the welfare Of
the state. On he other hand, how
ever, they realize that the people, as
a rule, are not in favor OF public Of
ficials voting themselves an increase
in salary and are very likely to show
their dlspleasure by refusal, TO re-
turn 10 Office. But in the next ses-
sion majority of the members Will
be serving their last term and will
not he expecting a reelection.
Therefore they may be able 10 over
look public sentiment and vote the
increase in order that their success
sors may enjoy II. The truth is
that 5000 is too low a sum 10 pay
members OF the legislature. While
a man can live upon II comfortably
during the months the general as
sembly is In session IL must be re-
membered that The majority OF them
are negieeting their business at
home and therefore losing at least a
portion OF the income which would
be theirs naturally.

The decision OF the Morgan En-.
gineering company OF Alliance TO re-
move their large plant to some city
where their large force OF workmen
will have the benefits OF parks, OPP
sraH. baseball and other amusements
IS the experience Of many large
concerns throughout the country;
and that Canton, which is so well
supplied with the facilities for en-.
tertainment along these lines will
probably be selected, shows that the
present administration OF affairs in
Canton has the endorsement OF people
who favor clean, liberal govern
ment Of the affairs OF municipalities.
Sot long ago a large Chicago con-
Germ that had removed TO small
place in Indiana was compelled 10
return 10 that city on account OF the
scarcity OF skilled labor. II is q well
settled fact that skilled mechanics
who receive good wages desire some
thing beside work for amusement.
Large employers OF labor are recog-
Iizing this fact, hence the drift Of
manufacturing plants is towards the
larger cities.
