Opposition to First District Con-
gresham Is Developing 10
Certain Sections
BELoIT TO LEAD THE FIGHT
sional District Are Being Urged
as Candidates To Oppose Re-
turn of Racine Man

Politicians in the middle and west
ern end of the First Congressional
District are at work trying to get some
one to seek the Republican nomina-
ton for Congress to succeed II. A
Cooper. At this end of the district
ton has not yet commenced to boil,
the leaders here not believing the
time has arrived to discuss the situa-
ton. Congressman Cooper does not
seem to worry and is going about de-
livering addresses and telling of the
Taft Trip to the Orient. No doubt
Mr.. Cooper is, in his travels, looking
after his political fences and being
kept informed by his lieutenants as
to what is doing.
Says the Beloit Free Press in re-
gard to the congressional situation in
the First district: congressional
matters are warming up in many of
the districts of the state and the First
district is not entirely dormant.
That there will be determined and
vigorous opposition against Congress-
man H. A. Cooper in the primarie is
positively known and some of the
most prominent men in the southern
part of the state are being mentioned
as candidates and two or more of
these will have their names on the
big ballot when it comes to the voters
next fall. sFong 5ae9 Sane
cit has been known for long time
that Atty. Thomas S. Nolan of
GAINESVILLE will be candidate for the
honor and Judging from the race he
made two years ago he will be quite a
factor in the coming contest. Then
the friends of State Senator John M.
Whitehead are hoping that he will al
low his name to be used. There are
also others who will urge Hon. Pliny
Norcross to make the race and, al
together, Janesvil1e seems to be we'll
supplied with congressional timber.
There is also rumor of Walworth
county candidate and undoubtedly
Kenosha can also come to the front
with a favorite son, but the straws
now indicate that Mr.. Cooper will
have the contest of his life at the
coming primary-almost as strenuous
as that when his defeat was STAYED
off solely by the loyalty of Cham In
gersoll of Beloit to his cause, Cooper
will not this year have any Ingersolls
to back him up and the results will be
watched with much interest,""

AS THE first result of the removal of
competition in the telephone business.
Kenosha is paying fifty per cent more
for its phones, but is there single
unpre JUDGED subscriber who believes
that we are getting fifty per cent bet
ter service. However, we do not know
that the public has any right to com
plain. Kenosha had chance to en-
joy competition and did not improve
it, so that the telephone users them
selves are the most to blame for pres
ent conditions.

Now that the weather is getting
colder complaints of blocked cross
ings are numerous, and it is time the
police woke up and fined few train
men. 1t is no joke to wait ten, IF
teen, or twenty minutes in the search
ing wind for freight train to move
on, and it is no wonder that people
complain when they are subjected to
such unnecessary hardships. For in
stance. Sunday night freight blocked
Prairie Ave, South, Pomeroy and
Dayton streets for over ten minutes,
and two or three hundred people
were chilled to the bone while wait
ing to cross. 1t was done deliberately,
too, for the train was not stopped by
signals but was simply left blocking
the crossings while the engine did
some switching. The Inconvenience
of the public was nothing tothe crew
of that train. They we're perfectly
safe in not taking the trouble to open
up crossings and they knew it, but if
they had thought they were taking
any chances on being yanked into the
police court and fined they would
have been a lot more considerable.

THERE are shining exceptions to
the rule but as a general thing the
politician who is 1oudest in criticising
the record of his opponent has some
thing in his own past that he would
like to have the voters forget all
about. Too many of the men with an
itch for Office would like to date time
from the day they are nominated and
have everything before that forgotten
but unfortunately for them the public
is of an inquiring turn of MUD.

IT IS being proven right along now
every day that it is easy enough to
get sidewalk repairing done if the
city only gees about it in the right
way. All that it is necessary for the
city to do is to serve the legal notice

owner to comply with it to build the
walks itself under the supervision of
its engineer and charge up the cost

0"The Flower of the Ranch" is lit
tie girl who has become the idol of the
cowboys. Years before she had Leen
in a stage coach which overturned,
killing the passengers, except her
self. She is brought up on a ranch.
1t is discovered that she is the real
heiress to large tract of land, and
on this basis Howard has woven a
convincing and natural story that in
itself is full of plot. For sThe
Flower of the Rrnch" is that strange
anomaly, musical piece with real
plot. The musical gnumbers are in
troduced at appropriate times. Among
the big song hits that Howard has
written, and in which he is said to
have surpassed himself are: Guild a

FARMERS are beginning to buy
automobiles and their attitude towards

were as much opposed to the bicycles
as they are to the automobiles until

Everyone seems to be intent on go
ing to the carnival this week. It's
our opinion that Bismarck will have
lots of company between now and
Sunday. S
Fred. Hoge and Barney Bishop
were making hay last week.
Garden sass is getting ripe just
now. Rhubarb pies are almost q
thing of the past but in their stead
we hail radishes, lettuce and sweet
smelling onions. The lilacs are in
bloom and peas nearly six inches
high. Strawberries are pretty high
too. The last ones we got were 20
cents a box, less than quart in a
box, but we're thankful for them az
any price. 8
The vibrations of the atmosphere
which we're so noticeable last Satur-
day night, were caused by the dane
ing at Henry Schonert's.
VIM. Breen shipped a carload OF
wheat from here last week. He just
wants to get a little spending money
for the 4th of July.
R. A. Yeater has been trading hor-
ses and now possesses a little bay
mare which seems to be able to trot
pretty considerable. /" \:
On account of business matters,
Mr.. Yeater has postponed his trip to
California few weeks.
We today received the sorroWfuR
intelligence that little Anna Paris
is dead. This was the youngest child
of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Paris, and one
