Hemingway for District Attorney.


Mr.. G. 81. Hemingway. whois candi-
date for the republican nomination for
District Attorney, should be nominated
and elected. In the first place, he has
had the necessary legal training. being a
graduate of the University of Wisconsin
law school and admitted to practice in
all state and in the United States cir
cult and district courts. The fact that
he is young in the profession is no objec-
ton for he is man of ability and good
Judgment and will be able to handle the
cases that come to him. Every case diff
fers from every other one and the Dis
trict Attorney who studies up the par
.icular case is the one that excels as a.
trial lawyer. Those that know Mr..
Hemingway know that his cases will be
prepared. There are not a great num-
Der of cases to be tried. The present in
cumbent since he has been in Office, has
tried but eleven cases in both Beloit and
GAINESVILLE municipal courts, winning but
four. There is no good reason to sup
pose that Mr.. Hemingway could not
at least equal that record.
There are other qualities absolutely
essential in good District attorney
honesty, square dealing, fearlessness,
disposition to work and do things. Mr..
Hemingway, in his careers as public
official, has proven himself the possessor
of the qualities in marked degree. If
he had thing to say he said it; if he
had bad condition to remedy, he went
at it and rested when it was accomplish
ed. 1t made him enemies but it got re-
suits and friends Contrast the cow
ardly policy of his opponent. He had to
be threatened before he would take up
the Beloit election case, and he has post
poned it from time to time since about
June 1st. Now it is set for Sept. s, just
one week after the primaries. Rock
county should elect a man with the
moral courage to fight case to the fin
ish. Mr.. Hemingway could be relied
upon to do it. Mr.. Hemingway has
served the people we'll and since he seeks
the office and would consider it pro-
motion, be should have it, The best
way to reward faithful servant is to
give him increased opportunities and re-
sponsibilities. The people should rally
to the support of a man who combines
ability with honesty. efficiency with fear
lessnees, initiative with back bone. That
com binaton is G. Ell. Hemingway.

Too Many Tromhoraa

The following anecdote concerning
Donizetri and the score of Rossini's
"Otello" is told by the Musical World:
Donizetti had asked Sigismondi, the
director of the Naples Conservatorie,
to look over the score with him, and
the two sat down at a table with the
work In fIunt of them. Presently ST
giSmondi began to rave about its mon
strous orchestration. Terrible was
his Indignation when he found that
claripets, bassoons and trombones had
been employed in one place to swell a
crescendo, but when the fortissimo
was reached he uttered cry of de-
spair, struck the score violently with
his fist, upset the table and rushed
from the room, exclaiming: ga hundred
and twenty-three trombonesl A hum
dred and twenty-three trombonesw
Donizetti in vain tried to call him
back, shouting after him, ''Not 123
trombones, but first, second and third
trombones.' Sigismondi would not
listen and when last seen was still
repeating, "A hundred and twenty
three trombones!'
