SIDEWALK EXPLODED
8if! Bang! Ker-chug!

Ol1I' OdhS' AS1~Ch0G'
The heat was too much Saturday
and during the dinner hour block of
the cement side walk on Ash street in
front of the residence of Charles Ring
ling, exploded.
Alva Page, who was on the lawn at
the time, but some distance away,
thought that the gasoline tank of the
big automobile had burst. When he
reached the spot whence the. sound
came he found part of cement block
of the side walk in ruins as though it
had been struck by bomb of large
dimensions.
Some power underneath the block
had raised it sufficiently so that with
natural resistance of the material it
had to be shattered. Because is hap
pened at the hottest part of the hottest
day Baraboo has seen for some time,
it is natural to suppose that the heat
had something to do with the disaster.

POPULAR NOMINATION OF SENATOR
For the First Time in History of Wis
consin People Make a Choice.

For the first time in the history OF
Wisconsin political history the voters
are to nominate q United States sena.
tor this fall. Just what effect
this will have upon the legislators when
they cast their votes directly is a ques-
ton.
The popular vote is simply for the
purpose of suggesting or nominating a
senator. 1t can not be wholly binding
In fact the legis' ators could
choose a man whose name had not
come up at all, although they probably
would not do so on account of their
political future.
Two other things are to be consider
first whether legislator should
vote for the man which receives the
largest vote in his district, or second,
whether he should vote for the one who
receives the largest vote through
out the state as whole. The law says
nothing concerning these points and it
AoO bOCAA 0OSoSVObOO G1Adb VIC
should agree upon a method to be adot-
ed.
1t is questionable, however, whether
any agreement could or ought to have
any binding effect upon the legislature.
While it should have it's ear attuned
to the wishes of it's constituency it
should be free to act, in a measure at
least independently. Otherwise the
purpose of the United States CON
stitution would be foiled.
The natural tendency for Legislators,
who value their political heads. would
be to vote for the man their districts
supported. Likely most of them would
do SO. 1t is no more that the carrying
of the "favorite son" principle into dis
trict politics.
When no agreements are made and
affairs are to work themselves out
naturally there can be no complaints
that it was all arranged.
