is suffering from a kindling-wood fam
inc. Grocers all over the city say that
they have not seen the woodman for
more than three weeks. The kindling
wood is cut from Pennsylvania hem
lock and Virginia pine. Dealers in the
product say that the severe winter in
Pennsylvania and the scarcity of
freight cars are among the causes for
the shortage. Another reason is that
Virginia woodmen are getting better
prices for pine in the form of lumber
for building purposes and are ignoring
the fuel-wood trade.

GUSTAV BUCHHEIT

To the Voters of Jefferson County !:
Owing to the resignation of County
Judge Grimm, you must select man
to succeed him, and for this purpose
an election will be held on April Ind
next. The primary election law does
not apply to judicial elections. AS you
know there are now five candidates
for this office, four of which claim to
be non-partsan candidates, while
am the republican nominee and am not
ashamed or afraid to publish it. Up
wards of eight hundred republicans
have signed nomination papers for
me which papers specify that / am
to represent the Republican party. -
Of course | feel very grateful for
this splendid endorsement and for
the additional received from demo-
Gratis, and desire herewith to thank
all my friends, both republicans and
democrats for their promised support.
The newspapers of this county. ex-
cept the one owned and edited by the
person who secured the appointment
of Mr.. Rogers, seem so far to have
been entirely neutral, and have been
and still are publishing, for valuable
consideration, of course, whatever the
various candidates have requested them
to publish. That some things requested
by the candidates to be published as
bot lS
perhaps apparent, and knowing the
writers no comments should perhaps
be made thereon When, however,
an article tends to mislead the voters,
| feel il my duty to endeavor to detsroy
its intended effectiveness The article
| refer to is one published by the Jetfer-
son County Union, some time ago,
which is being inserted in nearly all
the newspapers throughout the county
at the instance and expense of Judge
Rogers himself. 1t reads in part as
follows, viz: tThe present incumbent
Charles b. Rogers, was appointed by
our present republican governor David
son, with all of the present candidates
IN the field, and after full and falr
consideration of the entire matter.
The last sentence | object to. In a
personal interview with Governor
Davidson relative to my appointment,
he told me that he would like to
appoint republican, but that he was
under great obligations to Mr.. w. D.
Hoard, who he said had been actively
campaining for him and that inasmuch
as Mr. Hoard was asking as personal
favor the appointment of Mr.. Rogers
and insisting thereon, he could not
turn HIM down. This is the truth and
/ will leave it for you to determine
whether Governor Davidson considered
fully and fairly (as. they claim the
entire matter, or whether he con-
sidered only his political indebtedness:
to Mr.. Hoard.
This paper also stated that the
judiciary is and for long time has
peen considered cut of politics. Surely
this is very Inconsistent on the part
of the editor. Who would have beer
appointed if Mr.. Hoard had supported
Mr.. Lenroot instead of Governor
Davidson.
This same editor seems to be much

Political Strife on at Capital

lowing legislative notes sent us from
Madison:
We have at last now before us in
book form the report of Wisconsin

criticise their efficiency, honesty and
iItregity as such commission, but the
cold fact remains that sume people will
travel for q cents perrmile, some for
2 cents, some for less than II cents
and some will travel gratis 1t is
reasonable to say that one class would
pay little more to enable another
class to ride for little less Equal

the stump last fall, and we will stick
to it.
Political strife is on at the Capitol,
since Spooner resigned, and lot Of
speculation as to his successor. 1t is
to be hoped the work Of the legisla-
ture will not be paralyzed, though all
members received an unexpected shock
when news of the resignation of the
Senior Senator reached them. We feel
safe to say that when Bob gets to
