LENRooT GETS OUT
Superior Man Withdraws From
the Race for the United
States Senate
SUPPORTERS NOT PLEDGED

Irvine L. Lenroot, Of Superior, late
Tuesday night withdrew from the
race for the Office of United States
Senator from Wisconsin, and sent
letter to the Republican caucus in
which he stated that he was no 1c nger
candidate for the Office. The letter
came as great surprise, as it was
generally believed that Lenroot would
be one of the last to quit the race.
The Stephenson forces are jubilant
over the action of Lenroot, as they
take it to mean the election of Steph-
enson. It is stated that Lenroot and
the Stephenson forces have arrived
at an agreement in regard to his
withdrawal, but if such is the case it
does not appear on the face of the
letter announcing the retirement of
Lenroot. The letter follows:
"To the Republican Legislative
caucus: Gentlemen: The outcome of
the present senatorial contest is of
vital importance to the state of Wis
consin and the country at large.
''The public good should be the
first consideration. For it is the
duty of every individual to give way,
and if need be, sacrifice personal am
bition.
"A prolonging of this contest
greatly interferes with important
Legislation and may endanger the
selection Of any man who can, or
will, assist President Roosevelt and
Senator LaFollette in the great con-
test for representative government
now going on in this country.
During my political career have
fought consistently and earnestly for
the principles of our party in this
state. ! have no right now to place
personal ambition higher than the
success of those principles.
I'm the present deadlock it is plain
that some candidate must give way.
Some one must take the initiative.
Therefore in the hope that my action
may aid in bringing about the solec-
ton of some man who will creditably
represent the progressive movement
IN our state and nation, request my
friends to no longer consider my name
as candidate, and use their best, in
dependent Judgment in selecting some
other man:
In taking this course have made
no combination or agreement with
any other candidate, nor had any been
made in my behalf, and have not
sought, and will not seek to influence
the action of my friends other than to
urge them to do what they believe
will be for the best interests of the.
state.
II will say further that This action
is taken without the knowledge. of
any of the other candidates or their
supporters, nor have been influenced
by the desires of any of them, or from
any other source in that behalf.
Il cannot sufficiently express my
gratitude to my friends for the warm,
earnest and loyal support that they
have given me and sincerely hope
that selection may be made that
will be credit to the Republican
party and for the best good of the
state. !. Z. LEsRooT.

Two Gangs Of Surveyors at Work
Laying Out Right Of Way
Through Bristol
GOES OVER PRIVATE GROUND
Men Said to be in the Employ of the
Chicago. Kenosha. Milwaukee and
Lake Geneva Road. Other Com
pany Making Investigations

The town of Bristol seems to be the
new battle ground for the Chicago
and Kenosha and Chicago, Kenosha,
Milwaukee and Lake Geneva Railway
Companies and Tuesday afternoon
representatives. of both the companies
were at work in the town of Bristol
laying out right of way for a road
west from Kenosha to the lake
regions. The members of the party
representing the Chicago and Mil
waukee road made the trip in auto
mobiles looking over the property
along the Geneva road from Kenosha
straight west to the limits of the
county.
There were no surveyors with the
party, as the surveyors of the Chicago
and Milwaukee road have already
made trip through the territory and
have filed a report with the officials
as to the most advantageous route for
a road between Kenosha and Lake
Geneva. Less than a half a mile
south of the place where the Frost
people we're making their investiga-
tions, two gangs of surveyors said to
be in the employ of the Chicago, Ke-
nosha, Milwaukee and Lake Geneva
road were at work, and they were
laying out right of way over pri-
vate property.
Stakes are being set for right of
way hundred feet in width and it is
evident that the company is planning
to avoid the big hills along the Geneva
road by building line to the south
of the travelled road, thus making it
possible for them to find more level
stretch of territory and at the same
time get more direct line from Ke-
nosha to the west. The line rcposed
by the surveyors of the Chicago and
Milwaukee road would stick close to
the highways, and it is evident that
the company plans to get right of
way from the farmers at very low
rate.
The coming of the two companies
of surveyors has stirred up quite a
little excitement among the people of
the town of Bristol and they now
seem to think that the coming of the
electric line is matter of the very
near future. The right of way being
laid out by the Grover men seems to
be the most pleasing one to the peo-
pie of Bristol as it will ia no way inter.
fere with the use of the highways by
the farmers and at the same time 1t
will touch nearly all of the lake
regions of the countya
| The promoters of this company
have repeatedly stated that it is their
plan to build the line to the west Just
as soon as they can get a right of
way into Kenosha.
Should the right of way now being
selected be acceptable to the com
pany it would be necessary to insti-
tate many actions for condemnation
as many of the farmers would object
to the company taking portions of
their farms without proper payment.

As Mr.. Roosevelt remarked In his
speech at Cairo. the millennium Is
still a long way on" and this pro-
nouncement Is c~orroborated by the
fact that the efforts Of The Hague

when we reflect that an the big gov
ernments OF the world are intent on
increasing ornaments, and hat such
as have them use them In a fashion
highly suggestive Of a chip on the
shoulder. The autumn maneuvers OF

comment In the press OF the United
Kingdom and II Is freely stated that
their object viii be ito teach the
Officers what the admiralty would ex-
pect Of them I'm case Of war with Ger
many" In the face OF such talk. the
san Francisco Chronicle thinks. IL Is

peace. Their possession Is a tempta-
ton to use them. and Il viii be seen
at an early day that a fatal mistake
has been made In not needing the
demand for disarmament. which
comes from the people but Is denied
by so-called statesmen because they
lack the moral courage TO pursue a
course which would accomplish the
desired result.
