The people feel that they must build

the appropriation must in few years
be entirely outgrown. Several other
schemes are on foot whereby the rest Of
the sum may be raised for the structure.

RUSK INSERGENT MEETING.
A Report by a Disinter-
ested Voter Who
Heard 1t.

The boxer rally in school house No.
l07, Rusk township, was very bum
affair from political standpoint. There
was Anderson. the man of many parties,
Bronson the slippery, the man with the
strowbridge mouth from Morton,
Anderson's back door telephone, Kop-
litz, together with Egge, Peterson,
Chilson, Merger, Hyde and enough
others to make up thirty-two with three
prospective converts from Rusk town.
ship.
Bronson opened the meeting, praised
the sta!warts and democrats for killing
the two.cent rate bill saying he would
have voted the same way if he had oeen
in the legislature. He pleaded for
leinencv at the hands of the people for
the poor railroad companies. He talked
to US about the great LaFollette but
never once mentioned Taft. He did not
even tell how much of that investiga-
ton money (S669) went into the boxer
campaign fund.
Anderson, the next speaker, could
not find language strong enough In con-
demning the stalwarrs on the two.cent
rate bill, the same vote that Bronson
praised them for. He praised the pri-
mary law stating how nice it was that
the whole people could nominate ticket,
while there was not man in the room
but knew that his whole ticket was
made up in his own Office by six men.
He told how the valuation of the rail
road property in Webster was increased
but did not tell how they took off some
valuation in rural townships in order
to increase it in Webster. He pictured
John Smith as a representative and
told how he sprang into prominence
with his railroad passes and how the
railroad lobbyists handled him but he
failed to tell us that Crawford was at
the head of this party of lobbyists
He dwelt long and hard on the lum-
Der trust investigation and attempted
TO drag sucn NAL Us IL L. o''eA Aso
dirty political fight. Compare these
two men morally or mentally and see
what right he has to slur such a man as
Mr. Potter.
AT this meeting their political argu-
ment was whlskey and cigars. With
bottles in their pockets and gallons in
their hides they hoped to capture the
northwest quarter of Rusk township
for the boxer ticket How cheap they
must have figured these voters who will
show them on June 9th that they have
ideas of their own and will resent the
attempt to buy them with cheap
whiskey and cigars.

Efficacy of Advertising
 Disastrous in This Case

Last week THE PRosPEcToR men toned the fact that Ed Hughes, dep utY recorder, was troubled with rheu- matism. The statement was correct but we meant no harm to Ed. How. ever the Tesu!. was disastrous as he immediately received circulars, letters and C. O. D. samples of rheumatic remedies until he had to carry his mail home in B gunny sack and the excess mail and expressage has kept him nearly bankrupt ever since, all of which illustrates the power of a men, tion in the columns of THE PRosPEC- TOR.
