VEY'S PHARMACY
Base Ball al ShuIIsburg.

The baseball game at Shullsburg
last Saturday resulted in defeat for
the Mineral Point boys by a score of
81.
The game began with Mineral Point
at bat, but they were retired without
scoring. In Shullsburg's inning they
managed, on hits and errors to
secure 3 runs. After that Shulls-
burg didn't have a possible chance
to score throughout the game. In
Mineral Points half of the fourth j..
Jackson cracked out two sacker be-
tween right and center field, was sac
rafced to third by Tyrer and on hit
by Fessenden scored their only run.
The game was decidedly interesting
throughout and was played in the
record breaking time of 55 minutes.
H. Whitford, behind the bat for our
boys, was at his best and only one
man was able to steal a second base.
Brewer managed to make s of the
Shullsburg boys bow to his curves;
and Habenstreit of Shullsburg man
aged to secure strike-Outs.
When you come to consider the fact
that the boys were up against a bat
terry that let the strong Lancaster city
team down with two hits last year,
don't you think they are entitled to
considerable credit for holding such
a team down on their own grounds to
such small score?
Two base hits, Mineral Point Whit

of Southwestern Wisconsin, who were
in the city attending meeting of
group two of the Wisconsin Bankers
association, INDUCED in long and
lively debate on the subject of 'De-
posit Insurance." at the opening ses-
sion this morning. The discussion
was started by r. M. Orchard, of
Muscoda, who read paper in which
he strongly favored deposit insurance
as a means of making secure the de-
posts held by banks and doing away
with bank runs and panics. Secretary
G.. r. Thomson, of Richland Center.
and G. T. Hodges, of this city, argued
in support of the proposition with
some vigor and arguments against it
we're made by j. Fl. Puelicher, of Mil
waukee, II. G. Putnam, of Brodhead
and J. w. Hutchison, of Mineral
Point. Earl Pease, of Grand Rapids,
and ohm Luchsinger, spoke somewhat
in favor of it. J. 81. burst, partici-
pated in the discussion, and took the
ground that the idea is more theoreti-
cal than practical.

The following are the words of con-
graduation rendered by the members
of the Commercial club to the pro-
prietors of the Merry Christmas mine:
Within the past year, Geo. Ehrat
and VIM. Molard, both of Chicago,
have invested many thousands of dol
lars in properties in our city. This
they have done without importantly
or solicitation and it should be and
is highly gratifying to the people of
this city that the large investments
made by these Chicago gentlemen
have resulted in the discovery of one
of the largest producing mines in the
Wisconsin lead and zinc districts.
The honest investor is the man to be
encouraged. He is the type of man
who merits success. Messrs. Ehrat
and MOlard by their honest and splen-
did business methods have gained the
confidence of all in 5his community
with whom they have had business
relations.
The Mineral Point Commercial club
extends to them hearty cOngratula-
tions and hopes that their mine may
not only continue to be one of the
largest in this district, but that it may
yield treasures still larger as time
goes on.
We hereby extend to Messrs. Ehrat
& Molard a standing invitation to our
club rooms whenever they, or either
of them, shall be in this city.

IRA r.

The Roosevelt-Taft candidate for
attorney general, Hon. Ira F. Blewitt.
is the present states attorney OF
Moody county, and a lawyer OF rec
ogniZed ability and a citizen of high
standing in the community in which
he lives.
Mr.. Blewitt is thirty-two years of
age, having been born in Ontario Can,
In 1876. Removing to Wisconsin with
his parents when about one year old,
he grew to manhood in the Badger
state, preparing himself for the pro-
fession of law.
In 1898 he became a resident Of
South Dakota, making his home in
Moody county. where he began the
practice of law. He served four years
as clerk of courts in the county. After
his admission to the bar, he took a
course in the law department of the
state university, graduating there
from. Two years ago he was elected
states attorney, a position which he
has filled with credit to himself and
to the county and state.
Mr.. Blewitt is a gentleman of SUI
perior legal ~attainments. commands
the entire confidence of those who
know him, and, regardless OF political
or factional afiliation, is universally
esteemed.
The people of South Dakota will
make no mistake in elevating him to
the chief place in the legal depart
ment Of the state.

GEORGE G..

George G.. Johnson, the stalwart
candidate for the Office OF state treas
urer, is a native of Lincoln county
and is about thirty-three years Of age.
His parents are among the pioneers
OF his section OF tue state, ha'4l5
come to this country direct from
Norway about t%hirty-ive years ago,
and established their home on the
broad prairies of South Dakota. Mr..
Johnson's father. up to the time OF
his death about w years since, was
a prominent factor in the upbuilding
of the community in which he lived.
The subject OF this brief sketch
grew to manhood in the county of
his nativity. He was educated in the
public schools and at Augustana col
lege at Canton. Upon attaining his
majority he became deputy registerof
deeds and served in that capacity for
six years. In 1904 he vas elected
to the office wherein he had served
as deputy, receiving a large majority,
and in 1906 he was reelected by an
overwhelming vote, Notwithstanding
his opponent was a man of recognize
ed ability and strength.
Mr.. Johnson is making his candi-
dacy for the state treasurer upon a
principle that is clearly defined. Be-
the Roosevelt administration, and a
warm advocate of the nomination OF
William H. Taft as the man most
likely to carry out those policies, he
naturally stands committed to the
principle hat a public officer should
not reap profit from having public
funds in his possession, eve though
he may evade the constitutional pro-
vision inhibiting the acceptance Of
such profit by becoming a nominal
stakeholder and salaried officer of a
banking institution which handles
state funds.
While Mr.. Johnson favors the en-
actment of q state law providing
for state repositories and the placing
Of the interest derived from public
moneys in the treasury for the bene-
fit Of the people, he pledges himself
to account to the state for every cent
received through this channel, even
though no law be passed specifically
covering the question.
Mr.. Johnson is a product of South
Dakota. He was born here, and was
educated here, and represents the
vigorous young manhood of the state
and is an accredited type of those
sturdy Norsemen who have left their
indelible impress upon the history OF
the world and who are important fac
tors in sustaining the moral and in
~tellectual tone of the country of their
adoption here in America.
Above and beyond all, he stands
for the square deal in administrative
affairs. His platform ought to be
endorsed by the people Of the state,
and we believe it will be. by nominal
ing and electing him to the Office to
which he aspires.

ness, Norway, May 5, 1855. When

missioner in 1888, and in 1902 he was

operations, he is also engaged in
stock raising, being Familiarity known
as H. o. Wickre," but among his
~neighbors in Day county he has been
~nicknamed Red Hog Wickre," a So
brequet which ne rather takes pride
in, as he thinks it is a good advertise
ment for his hog business.
Mr.. Wickre is an energetic, pro-
gressive, ke~en-sighted and popular

didate for the governorship, has been

He served in the legislative sessions
of 1901, 1903, 1905, and 1907. He
was speaker of the house in 1903 and
1905. His high standing in the com
munity is thus attested by his con
tinuance in the office for eiE 1t sue
cessive years.
Mr.. Browne is a native of Michigan
and of New England ancestry. He was
educated it Yenyon college, in Ohio,
and then removed to kansas, where
he resided up to the timc that he be.
came a resident of South Dakota.
The striking characteristics of the
man are uprightness. rigid adherence
to the principles of the Golden Rule,
and devotion to duty. He is a devo,It
member of the Episcopal church. In
civic virtues no man stands higher in
the estimation OF his fellowmen thar
does Mr.. Srowne, who, during a per.
iod of nearly twenty years residence
in Aberdeen, has endeared himself to
the people of the community because
of his manly worth. No political strife
has ever been so bitter as to cause
those who, through party afiliation,
have opposed his candidacy, to utter
a syllable in criticism of his private
life or to question his sincerity in
either political or business affairs.
He will make a clean, conservative,
square deal governor, whose election
would reflect credit Upon the young
state of South Dakota, destined, as it
is, to occupy a high place in the flu
ture council OF the nation.
