Lieut.. Gov. Strange Formally
Announces His Candidacy
for Governor ON Tuesday
IS ALLIED WITH NO FACTION

Lieutenant Governor John Strange
of Oshkosh, has made a formal an
nouncement that he will be candi-
date for the Republican nomination
for governor before the primaries in
1910 and he declares that he will make
the race as a free lance without the
support of either of the factions of
the Republican party. The main point
in the platform of Mr.. Strange in, seek
ing the nomination will be the protec-
tion Of the water powers of the state
The decision of the lieutenant COVER
nor to be candidate was made on
Tuesday afternoon and he at once
made announcement of it and it is
stated that he is in the race to stay
regardless Of any other candidates.
The announcement came like bomb
in the ranks of the so-called "Pro-
gressives" of which Strange has been
counted as a leader and it is declared
that this announcement is made at
this time to prevent the friends of
Strange lining up with some of the
other candidates during the political
conferences which are always held in
connection with the state fair. Strange
has been regarded as leader among
the friends of Senator LaFollette for
SOME years. He is one of the wealthy
men allied with the senator and it is
just possible that his announcement
will force F. E. McGovern and other
leaders in the same faction to keep
out of the race. In the formal an
nouncement of his candidacy the Osh-
kosh man declares that he is Esno
man s candidate" and that he is sim
| ply taking the right of any man in
the state to seek this high office.
Strange is well known in Kenosha
county among political leaders, but he
is scarcely known among the rank and
file of the party. The local Repubh-
cans have not lined up under any ban
ner at present, but it is generally
understood that the most active of the
LaFollette men are supporting the
candidacy of McGovern This can
didacy has been under consideration
about the state for more than three
months and for this reason many Of
the men who were sought to boost the
Strange candidacy have been left in
a rather ticklish position. It is ex-
pected that before the end of the
week half dozen candidates for the
Republican nomination for governor
will be out in the open.

MAY UNITE ORGANIZATIONS
Sheriffs and Police Chiefs May Unite
For the Betterment of Their Work

Sheriff William Gunter is in Milwau-
kee today attending the annual SEES
sions of the Wisconsin sheriffs. The
meeting promises to be the most i'm
portant ever held by the organization.
At the opening sessions on Tuesday
plans were suggested for a union of
this organization with the organiza-
tion of the police chiefs of the state
it being thought that the two could
accomplish greater results by working
in unison. The sheriffs decided to
ask for legislation at the special SEES
sion of the legislature and the plan
will be to have law passed increas-
ing the term of the sheriff from two
to four years.

WILL WORK WITH STATE BODY
Work of Preparing the Way for Such a
Campaign TO be Started Early in
November by oliver M. Stewart
of Chicago.

The discussion of a FFno license"
campaign to be started in Kenosha in
connection with the spring election
next April was taken up at the regular
meeting of the Kenosha Civic Fedora
tion on Tuesday night and the mem
bers present decided that the move
ment was timely one. The Fedora
ton is ready to act in Kenosha, but
it was decided at the meeting last
night to take the matter up with the
officials of the Wisconsin Ants Saloon
League before any final action was
taken on the proposition. During
the last few months the officials of the
Federation have been looking into the
condition of public sentiment in re-
gard to such a campaign and these
leaders declare that there seems to be
reason to believe that such cam
paign would be successful. They
claim to have found great interest
in the movement among all classes Of
people in the city. The campaign is
to be opened in November and it is
the purpose of the Federation to bring
speakers of great power to Kenosha
to mould public sentiment along the
lines of the no license movement. The
first Of these speakers will be the Hon.
Oliver NJ. Stewart, formerly a member
of the Illinois State legislature, and
no will open the campaign IN Kenosha
on the night of Nov. Z with a great
mass meeting. At this meeting the
plans of the eampa;gl4 will be an
nounced. The Anti-saloon League
has already made arrangements for
fights in more than fifty cities and
villages in Wisconsin and it may not
be possible for the state organization
to put large number of workers into
Kenosha.
The Federation. took up the matter
Of prosecutions which were started
months ago in regard to the arrests
for gambling and the matter of con-
tinuing prosecutions for perjury in
connection with these cases was order
ed to be placed in the hands of the
district attorney. The members of
the Federation held that the full duty
OF the committee on prosecutions had
been done when it placed the evidence
in regard to these matters in the hands
Of the district attorney and that it
was up to him to continue this work.
No report of the committee was made
at the meeting on Tuesday night, but
the new officials Of the Federation
have continued this committee in Of
fee and it is understood that they are
laying plans for a vigorous campaign
against all sorts Of law breaking dur
ing the coming winter months Yelled
threats have been made in regard to
the prosecution of certain saloon men
who are alleged to have violated the
laws Of the state and city and it is
claimed that some of the evidence
gathered by the Federation is of
very sensational nature, but none of
this has been given to the public and
it is closely guarded by the Federation
officials. So closely in fact that it. was
not even given out in the meeting of
the body. President Maddox is
wholly in sympathy with the active
course that has been taken by the Fed
GRAFTON in the past months and it is
certain that this line of work will be
continued for the future.

WHERE TOM FOUND HIS MANNERS.

Toms father rich man, and Tom lived IN
large house in the country He had pony and
many other pets, and wore fine clothes Tom was
very proud of all the fine things his fathers money
| bought. He began to think that being RICH was
better than being good. He grew very rude and
was cross to the servants Once he kicked Towser
but the dog growled and Tom was afraid to kick
him again.
One day when Tom was playing in the yard he
boy standing at the gate. He was ragged and
dirty, his hat torn and his feet bare. But
he had pleasant face. In one hand he carried a
pail half full of blackberries
go away from here" said Tom running to the
gate eve are rich and we don't want ragged boys
around"
''Please give me a drink" said the boy. eff you
are rich you can spare me dipper of water"
eve can't spare you anything" said Tom. eff
you don't go away I will set the dogs on you"
The boy laughed and walked away, swinging the
tin pail in his hand.
Tom to himself He went out the gate into lane
leading to a meadow where there were plenty of
berries.
Tom saw some fine large ones growing just over
a ditch. He thought he could leapA over 1T very
easily. He gave run and a very big jump. The
ditch was wider than he thought, and instead of
going over it, he came down in the middle of it.
The mud was very thick and soft, and Tom sank
down in it to his waist. He was very much fright
ened and screamed for help. But he had not much
hope that help would come tor he was long way
from any house.
He screamed until he was tired. He began to
think he would have to spend the night in the ditch
when he heard steps OH the grass. Looking up he
saw the ragged boy he had driven from the gate.
"Please help out" said Tom, crying. Il
will give you dollar"
q don't want the dollar" said the boy, lying
down fiat the grass, He held out both hands
to Tom and drew him out of the ditch.
Tom was covered with mud, his hat was gone
and one shoe was lost in the ditch, He looked very
miserable
'Who is dirty now!" asked the boy.
~ am" said poor Tom; but [ thank you very
much for helping me out of the mire. And am
sorry I sent you away from the gate"
"Then next time | perhaps you will treat
me better" said the boy. 81 am not rich, but [ am
stronger than you are, and | think | have better
manners"
~ think So too" said Tom.
The next day when Tom the boy going by
the gate he called him in, showed him his rabbits,
doves and little ducks and gave him ride on his
pony.
"You have good manners now" said the boy.

THE TRAVELLING SALESMAN.

A minister who has been doing
missionary work in India recently
returned to New York for a visit
according to Success Magazine
He was guest at a well-k known
hotel where everything pleased
him except the absence of the
very torrid sauces and spices to
which he had become accustomed
in the far east. Fortunately he
had brought with him a supply of
his favorite condiments, and by
arranging with the head waiter
these were placed on his table.
One day another guest saw the
appetizing bottle on his neighbor's
table and asked the waiter to give
him some of that sauce"
I'm sorry. sir" said the waiter,
"but it is the private property of
this gentleman. The minister,
however, overheard the others re-
quest, and told the waiter to pass
the bottle.
The stranger poured some of
the mixture on his meat and took
a liberal mouthful. After a mo-
ment he turned with tears in his
eyes to the minister.
you're a minister of the gos-
pelr"
"Yes, sir"
"And you preach hell and dam

YES" admitted the minister.

Counmoner

WHILE we presume that 1t is
not generally known, the fact is
that Mr.. Patten, the wheat opera
tor, is being very industriously
denounced for booming the price
of wheat, when actually he had
little to do with it. There is a
scarcity of wheat and Patten saw
that the market must inevitably
go higher. He took advantage
of that fact and squeezed some OF
his fellow gamblers. The state
ment that the people are now
paying for that gamble is untrue.
The price would have come up
anyway, but it was rendered
spectacular because one gambler
made lot of money on the raise,
