MEN REPRESENTING WAYNE AND
DALTON TOWNSHIPS IN STATE
CONVENTION TO SUPPORT CAN
DlDATE ON FIRST BALLOT.
CONFIDENCE is EXPRESSED
after the First Ballot, Local Candi-
date Said Delegates Would See
That He Was the Logical Candidate
For the Nomination.

The joint convention held by the
democrats of Wayne and Dalton town
ships last evening at the city building,
endorsed the candidacy of the Rev. T.
II. Kuhn for the gubernatorial nom-
nation and the delegates to the state
convention received instructions to
vote for him on the first ballot. II
after the first ballot they see that he
has no chance for landing the nomina-
ton they are at liberty to vote for the
most logical candidate 1t was the
sentiment that the delegation will
stand by Mr.. Kuhn to the end.
The convention was one of the
most turbulent ever held by the dem
ocrats in this county and for time
it looked as though the Rev. Mr.
Kuhn's own township would refuse to
support him. The city administra-
ton faction was lined up solidly back
OF the preacher politician. but the an
administration forces in an effort
to down their opponents. threatened
for time To sacrifice Mr. Kuhn for
factional differences, all of petty ma
ture, alone These differences were
nauseating.
Tho anti-administration crowd,
headed by Ben Price and John c. Bay
er, gave battle to everything brought
before the convention by the oppos-
ing faction. at the same time Mr. Bay
er and Mr. Price professed great adj
miration for Mr.. Kuhn and stated
that they favored supporting him in
the state convention. but for one bal
lot only, unless he should develop
great strength, in which event, they
thought the Wayne county delegation
should back him to the finish.
Kuhn Cool Headed
The only cool-headed man in the
mob Of struggling, angry and excited
men was MIR Kuhn. He showed his

Price Objected.

On a motion to elect delegates to the
state convention. Mr.. Wissler offered
an amendment which would permit
Mr.. Kuhn to appoint his own delegates
and that these delegates should sup
port him and G.. B. Harris, candidate
for the nomination for state statisti-
can, as long as either of them was in
the race. Mr.. Price objected to this
motion and moved that the delegates
be chosen by the convention and that
these delegates should support Mr.
Kuhn on the first ballot but that after
that they should have the privilege
OF casting their votes for the most
logical candidate. A vote was taken
on the understanding that the vote was
on the amendment proposed by Price
but it developed that the vote was on
the original amendment introduced by
Nlssler. When the administration
crowd discovered that they had,
through mistake, voted in favor
of the Wissler amendment there was
a demand made, loud and long. for
made to have the Wissler amendment
withdrawn and this motion was car
ried. 1t was by mutual agreement. no

Mr.. Kuhn at this time made one of
his diplomatic statements, saying that
he approved of Mr.. Prices amend
ment. He said that he didn't want
the delegates to be instructed to vote
for him for more than one ballot out
of courtesy. He said that after the
first ballot they would realize he was
the logical candidate, and that the
delegation would give him their loyal
support until the last ballot had been
taken. Mr. Kuhn also approved of
the plan of having the convention
name the delegates instead of him
self The latter plan, he said. smack
ed too much of republicanism. He
then said in ringing tones that if the
convention did not want TO endorse
his candidacy he would like to have
this statement made. He also stated
that this year the democrats of this
state would have a republican plural
ity of 10000 TO overcome and that the
party could not stop to quarrel and
bicker over such trifling affairs as
they had fought over at this conven-
ton. Any one the convention would
name as delegate to the state con-
vention would be satisfactory to him
as he knew they were all his friends
He said that he had driven Watson
out of the Sixth district arena and
that now he intended to drive him out
of the state arena. Mr. Kuhn predict
ed that Watson would be nominated
for governor by the republicans and
that he would be defeated at the cleo
ton by at least 10000 plurality
Two Delegate Lists.
After this address Mr.. Price placed
in nomination a list of eight delegates
and eight alternates to the state and
congressional conventions. Mr. Wiss-
ler offered list of delegates and al
ternates and another mixup was
threatened. 1t was finally compro-
missed. however. by the two sides
agreeing TO split the delegation. The
administration crowd was to be rep
resented by the first four delegates
and alternates appearing on its list
and the same arrangement was to be
carried out by the other faction Just
when everything began to look lovely
and harmony, with a big H. was about

Narrowly Escaped Drowning.

plattcyille News, June "A: Dave
Burris met with an accident Saturday
night while returning from PlatteVille,
that is pleasanter to read about than
TO experience When he and his
young son had reached a small creek
a short distance from his home they
attempted to cross it. The heavy
rain had swollen the stream more than
he realized and he started across, the
wagon Aoated off and in some manner
the boy was thrown out. The father
hearing the cries of his son and could
only locate him by the aid of the
lightning, the father reached the boy
who was clinging to the wagon tongue.
After struggle they both found land.
The team foated down stream a dis
tance of a mile or more and were
standing on little island. The wag-
on has not been found and it is sup
posed to have gone farther down the
stream.

118 TUBS, JUNE BUTTER
Fine Exhibition at State UniVer-
SitV Dairy School.

All of the 118 tubs and boxes of
butter entered in the June scoring
exhibition at the University of Wis
cOnsin dairy school arrived in excel
lent condition, as makers had prOfited
by last summers experience and
wrapped shipments in several thick
nesses of paper instead of in burlap
or no wrapping. The five highest
scores were made as follows: First,
S. B. Cook, BlOomer; 90, and A. A.
Mueller, Ixonia, 90; Second, G. D.
Carlson, Trade Lake, 95.5, and P. w.
Guse, Neillsville, 95.5, and Holgersen,
Troy Center, 95.5. The lowest score
was 1913, and the average $500. The
highest moisture content was found to
be 1876, and the lowest IL, giving an
average of 1873. Only 10 out of the
ll8 tubs exhibited scored less than 90
per cent.
The principal defects found were
acid AavOrs, caused by high ripening
of the cream, use of over-ripe starter,
L -
produce fine creamy acidy flavor,
the buttermaker must watch the de-
velOpment of Tactic acid in the cream
before churning. So many have the
mistaken idea that cream cooled to 81
or "a degrees in the evening can safe
ly be left overnight without danger of
further ripening. Even after being
put into q refrigerator ut u tempera-
ture of As degrees, butter will con-
tinue the rip6ning process.
The ripening of the cream may be
started at the farm, where hand sepa-
ratOrs are used, if about half tea
cap Of freshly prepared starter is put
into the empty cream cans when leav-
ing the factory. While the acidity
may run as high as 10 per cent when
delivered, the cream will always be
uniform in flavor, and the butter be
much improved.

There is more Catarrh in this section OF the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurabIe. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease and pre-
scrbed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to Ce n constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by J. f,

stitutionaI cure ON the market. 1t is taken
