Thus far statements have been re-
ceived from fifty teachers all favor
ing his reelection. This number is
remarkable for several reasons
Requests for opinions were not sent
out until late and were not accom-
panied by stamped return envelope.
There are but 85 teachers in the
county exclusive of Ladysmith and
some of these are having vacation at
this time. Some teachers neglect re-
plying promptly as each mail shows.
Some teachers are reticent in express
ing an opinion, preferring to remain
neutral. Some teachers have express
ed themselves verbally in favor of
Supt. Mackin but did not sign a state
ment fearing publicity of names.
The vote alone is convincing. The
vote under the above conditions is
practically unanimous.

TEACHERS ARE
FOR MACKIN
Prof. Squires of Bruce Takes Poll of
the County.-Other Voluntary
Endorsements

Who should be most concerned re-
garding the County Superintendent!
The Teacher.
Whose judgment should count most
in the estimation of voters? Teachers
and Educators.
Why? Because the teacher comes
into closer touch with the superinten-
dent than any one else; because
teachers and educators know better
what superintendent should be and do
than any one else, not because of
greater intelligence but because they
are in the same line of work.
What do educators think of Supt.
Mackin? His work is approved of and
accepted by such men as State Supt.
Cary, Inspector w. w. Hunt, Rural
Inspector Wood.
What do the teachers of Rusk Coun-
ty say regarding the reelection of
Supt. Mackin?

Attorney Arthur Coe Of Barron de-
livered an address at the opera house
Sunday evening, on invitation of the
W. C. T. U. of this city. A large au-
dience listened attentively for more
than an hour. His subject was "The
Liquor Traffic as l see it, " and he made
it plain that he saw it in very unfav-
orable light. Speaking of the expert
ence of Barron as a dry town he was
we'll satisfied with the change-taxes
have not been materially increased,
there no "blind pigs" and little drunk
enness. He thought it compared fovor-
ably in business way with Rice Lake.
Mr.. Coe also drew an interesting COM
parison between Hurley, with her SO
saloons, and Evansville, where they
never had a saloon-two striking ex-
amples in Wisconsin.

LIGHTING co.
IN POLITICS
Manager Newman would Control the
Council.-Asks Candidate to With
draw on Promised Appointment

Does the Ladysmith Lighting Co.
control the city council? Does it seek
to perpetuate that control? 1t would
seem so from the fact that last week
Manager G. E. Newman personally So
| llcited Nate Hand, candidate for alder
man in the Third ward, to withdraw
from the race in favor of Tom Baker,
promising Mr.. Hand the appointment
as alderman to fill the vacancy existing
by reason of the removal of J. M. Con-
rath from the city. Mr.. Hand refused
and will undoubtedly be elected. Mr..
Newman favored the nomination of
Hand, but, after his papers were filed,
conceived the idea that Baker could be
elected to the two-year term if Hand
could be bought off by the promise of
appointment to the one year term.
The Lighting Co. is evidently very
anxious that Baker should remain on
the council-as alderman and mayor,
he has been able during the past two
years to swing things to his liking,
and nothing has been done which is
not satisfactory to the Lighting Co.
How is it that the leading spirit
can thus promise appointments? Does
the council have nothing to say about
who shall be appointed or is it obliged
to obey orders?
Some more pertinent questions; Why
is the Lighting Co. so interested in
city politics at the present time? Who
is it backing for mayor? Cannot
council chosen by the people be trusted
to give the Lighting Co. square deal,
or does the company want more than a
square deal? Has the Lighting Co.
been giving the city square deal?
After the voters of the Third ward
have repudiated Baker, will the coun-
Gil, nevertheless, appoint him to fill the
vacancy?

Judge" has published a cartoon
which will be boon to common people
all over the United States. Every
time, in any city, when citizens get
after some public service corporation
for poor service, the franchise
grafters have always held meeting in
the chamber of commerce and roasted
the reformers for trying to hurt their
town.
The common people have always
known there was an answer, but did
not always have it ''pat." The pic
ture shows a burglar climbing in a
window. A policeman stands under
him with raised club. The advice is
the same given to all common people
who try to stop the pirate loot of public

To the voters of Rusk County:
In regard to the present campaign
for County Superintendent, will say
that heartily indorse the work Mr..
Mackin is doing and believe he should
be reelected.
Having taught in the county for
nearly six years, in the rural and
graded schools, | have been in position
to observe from first hand the pro-
gress that has been made, which is
due in large measure to the enthu-
siastic and conscientious efforts of our
present superintendent.
The fact that he has been several
times reelected shows that he is CIV
ing satisfaction, and the nature of the
work which is professional rather than
clerical, calls for experience as quail
fication.
Mr.. Mackin's s character, ability and
honesty in business transactions with
the schools cannot be questioned.
Yours respectfully,

Principal of graded school.
