NO OTHER NOMINATIONS
Republicans Will not Compli-
cate the Field Further

The Republican campaign commit
tee appointed by the Republican con-
vention which met in the court house
last week, met Thursday and decided
to make no further nominations this
spring.
This action was taken after o care
full canvass and was influenced by the
fact that several Republicans were al
ready in the field for treasurer, asses
sor and justice of the peace, and it
was decided that it was best not to
complicate matters by bringing out
further candidates.
The people are demanding that they
have mayor who will give the city
the proper attention. DIR. Pomain-
vile is practicing physician and is
subject 10 call at any time, whether
the common council is in session, or
whether some other business of the
city needs attention, and it is the
natural thing that professional bust
ness would be given the first attention,
With George w. Davis this is diff.
ferent, as he is situated in such a
manner that the city's business will
always be attended to as it arises.
This is what is needed at this time
when the affairs of the city financially
demand careful, business like and
prompt attention.

THE TOWNS DEMAND MAIL

Congressman Morse has been having
trouble in his efforts to secure better
mail service at Arpin, Wood county.
1t seems that in December the Wis
consin Central was asked to carry
mail on it's line between Marshfield
and Grand Rapids and serve Arpin
and Vesper, and was offered compen-
sation therefor at the rate of S42 Is a
mile until June 80, 1911. The COM
pany did not accept or refuse to ac-
cept this proposition and nothing
further was done. Mr.. Morse then
took the matter up directly with the
Wisconsin Central railroad company
and also the railroad commission Of
the state of Wisconsin. He is now
preparing a complaint against the
railway company to submit to the
commission, insisting that the people
of Arpiu and Vesper in Wood county
get the mail accommodations which
they deserve and for which the govern
ment is willing to pay.

SAY RICH WOMEN STEAL,
New York Merchants Organize Cam.
paign Against ShopIifters.

New York.-New York merchants
are instituting a campaign against
shoplifters. The formation of the re-
tail dry goods associations has been
completed, and Martin w. Littleton,
who conducted the defense for Harry
K. Thaw, is retained as attorney for
the members.
The professional shoplifters don't
bother us much" said Leslie Graf,
secretary Of the association. 1.-THE
store detectives know them and they
are watched from the moment they
enter a store until they leave.
Nor is it the poor people who rob
the stores, in most cases. Wives of
prominent business men, wives of
clergymen, well-to-do, supposedly re-
spectacle women whose husbands
make from $1,000 to $4,000 year are
those who prey upon the stores. They
don't need to take things; they just
take them, and when they are de-
tected and brought before the pro-
prietors of the store they weep and
beg for mercy They will not be al
lowed to go free in the future"
