CURRENT PALAyER
OF THE POLITICIANS

I'm afraid it's all over in the Ninth
ward" said a Republican Of that
Democratic stronghold. There was a
chance to elect Republican there this
year, with Aid. Tossy reaching out for
state senatorship. but IL could only
be done with single candidate. BY
the Republicans uniting on one man
and getting a few Democratic votes,
either Aid. Ostrowski or his running
mate would be defeated. but Aug.
Forth. ex-coroner. and j. Stoerkel are
out for nominations on the Republican
side and that spoils, the oneVman
game"
"The man who holds his job very
nearly the easiest in Wayne county
is, Hawley Christian" remarked a
county building man. -Four years, ago
he had a split field to beat, and never
had to try TO secure reelection. and
this year Forbes Robertson seems TO
be the only one ready to buck up
against him. Christians friends figure
that Robertson will be weakened by
the desire of many OF his clerks TO
look out for their jobs under the next
county treasurer.

HOW ELLIS
From the Journal.

From the Journal.
Dan Stephens and number OF other
prominent Fremont people, who have
placed under tile a large number Of
acres of Platte and Elkhorn valley land,
have, after a two years trial, proven the
value of thing. On the Stephens farm
fifty four bushels of corn was raised to
the acre where. had it not been for drain
age the thing afforded. the crop would
have been drowned out entirely. With
as much low land as they have in Dodge
county, a complete system of thing will
mean large increase in the production
of staple crops. One writer has said that
he WHO makes two blades Of grass grow
where but one has grown before is q
benefactor to his race, and the same
praise is due him who turns swamp and
pond into productive fields. Some Of the
Platte valley lands in this county could
be tiled to advantage.

The Whiteness of tho Pot and the
Blackness of the Kettles"
From Theodore Roosevelt's letter of
Oct. 4, 1904, to Edward III. Harri-
man.
Now, my dear sir, you and | are
practical men, and you are on the
ground and know the conditions bet
ter than i do. III you think there Is
any danger of your visit to me eaus-
ing trouble or IL you think there Is
nothing special should be informed
about, or no matter In which / could
give you aid, why, Of course, give up
the visit for the time being, and then
a few weeks hence before l write my
message, / shall get you to come down
to discuss certain government matters
not connected with the campaign
From Edward II. Harriman,s confiden-
tial statement to Sidney Webster.
About week before the election in
the. autumn of 1904. when 1t looked
certain that the state ticket would go
Democratic and was doubtful as to
Roosevelt himself, he, the president,
sent NE request to go to Washing
ton to confer upon the political condi-
tions in New York state. l complied,
and he told me he understood the cam
paign could not be successfully carried
on without sufficient money and asked
if / could help theta in raising the
necessary funds as the national com
mittee under control of Chairman Cor
telyou, had utterly failed of obtaining
them, and there was a large amount
due from them to the New York state
committee. We talked over what could
be done for Depew, and finally he
agreed thar If found necessary he
would appoint him as ambassador to
Paris.
With full belief that he, the presi-
dent, would keep his agreement, |
came back to New York sent for
Treasurer Bliss, who told Inc that /
was their last hope and that they had
exhausted every sotLer resource. In
his presence i called up an intimate
friend of Senator Depew, told him that
it was necessary in order to carry New
York state that 100000 should be
raised at once, and if he would help
| would subscribe $4,000. After a
few words over the telephone the
gentleman said he would let me know,
which he did probably in three or four
hours, with the result that the whole
amount, including my subscription,
had been raised.
The checks were given to Treasurer
Bliss, who took them to Chairman Cor
telyou. If there were any amcng

any other like organizations, of
