Lake Mills, August %, 1908.
To the Farmers and Dair,5men Of
Wisconsin,:
You are doubtless aware that one
who has been a valuable f1iend of
the farming and dairy interests of
the State is a candidate for the ON"
ination for United States Senator.
The man is Hon. S. A. Cook, who
for years has been actively identified
with movements which have been
a great benefit to dairying in Wis
consin, and therefore to the farmers
generally. While in Congress Mr..
Cook introduced and was largely in
strumental in securing the passage
of the filled cheese law which gave
the dairymen an opportunity to meet
the manufacturers of the filled article
upon the same plane. He also in
troduced a bill for pure seeds II
Congress. Since leaving Congress
he has kept his interest IN dairying,
attending sessions OF the various as
sociations and giving various prizes
to encourage the work. The farmers
and dairymen need such a man in
the United States Senate. Il is more
a matter of business than politics.
If Mr.. Cook is elected we will have
loyal friend who will work con-
stantly to better the farming and
dairying conditions, one whose past
record guarantees effective service,
more than promises for the future
could possibly do. Farmers and
dairymen should rally to the sup
port of Mr.. Cook. Let us go to the
polls on primary election day. Sep
TENDER 1st, and do what we can to
help one who has been true 10 as in
the past and will be loyal to our
interests in the future. This is the
least we can do to show our appre-
citation of his service.
Yours very truly,
E. c. DODGE.

BIG GOOD ROADS CON-
VENTION.
State Good Roads Association to
hold its Annual Convention
in Milwaukee,. on Tues
day September 9Th.

Preparations are being made for
one of the biggest Good Roads Con
ventions ever held in the country.
The first State Convention, held last
year, had nearly two thousand peo-
pie present, and a permanent organ
ization was formed with Ex-Govern-
or Hoard as President.
This State Convention was con-
siderably larger than any of the Ma
tional Good Roads gatherings that
have been held for many years, and
from the interest already manifested
it seems probable that there will be
more delegates present than last
year.
Every town chairman in the State
has been asked to suggest the names
of prominent farmers in his locality
whowill be appointed as delegates.
The State Good Roads Associa-
ton is verv much interested in the
amendment to the constitution of
the state which must be passed by
the people in our November elections
before our state can give state
money to aid the farmers to pay for
building good roads. This amend
ment will doubtless be very thor
oughly discussed.
The committee aims to make this
convention better than the one held
last year. 1t is planned, in SO far
as time will permit, to give each
delegate who desires it an oppor-
tunity to discuss any of the ques-
tons under consideration. The
meeting will not be held on the
State Fair Grounds as last year, but
in some large hall down town. The
place will be announced later.

Lenroot has, in effect, announced
in advance that if electedto Congress
he will act as an Independent in
stead of as a Republican. Do the
Republicans of this district wish to
send other than straight Repub-
lican to Congress?
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1908-08-27

The scandinavian friends of Gov
ernor Davidson who reside in this
Congressional District owe LenrOot
no debt of gratitude for his effort to
prevent the nomina alton of the Gov
ernor two years ago. Although
Davidson was already seated in the
executive chair as acting Governor,
ignoring all precedent, Lenroot
wanted him kicked out that he him
self might occupy the seat. Failing
to defeat Governor Davidson, Mr..
Lenroot discovered Senatorial
peach upon higher limb and went
after that, with like result. Being
unable to defeat either Davidson or
Stephenson, he is now frantically
calling upon the friends of these
men to send him to Congress. What
ever else Lenroot may be short on
he certainly does not lack nerve and
assurance.
