ANNOUNCEMENT.

To THE PUBLIC:
feel that owe en- explanation to the
voters Of the city, more so the hepuoli-
CONS, for coming out as candidate for
.uy treas urer on tne indUpenden. ticket.
Two years ago, after the present in
cumbent had stated he would not be a
candidate for that Office any more, upon
request of my friends l became candi'
date. After l had been campaigning for
some time aud it was known that was
in the field for the Office, the present in
cumbent changed his mind, however
and he again became candidate l.,
upon request of my friends, remained IN
the field. During that campaign which
from my side was fought squarely on
the issue involved as stated, however,
some Of those favoring Mr.. Mannke
threw many slurs and ISLANDERS upon me
and my character, based upon falsehood
and malice.
Upon request of my friends again
became candidate this year. During
the campaign just past |, and my sup
porters as far as l know, conducted a
clean campaign. On the other hand,
friends of the present incumbent pound
ed and hammerd away with slurs and
ISLANDERS, about the same way rs they
did two years ago. How much they
gained the vote has shown, it also has
shown what people think of me that are
nearest to me and know me best.
Ever since the result of the primary
WAS known, general sympathy has been
extended to me with the request from
men of all parties to run as an indepen-
dent candidate. After due consideration
as stated above, have decided to be an
independent candidate, a duty l owe
to my friends, my supporters and myself.
And | herewith solicit the support of all
voters.
Respectfully,
1t HENRY FRANKIE.

VETERAN EDITOR RETIRES.

Mr. H.G. Kress, the oldest editor from
point of service in Manitowoc city, has
sold his interest in the Manitowoc Daily
Herald and Times-Press to Horal Nelson
for many years his partner in the busi-
ness, who is now sole owner.
Mr.. Kress went into the newspaper
business in 1887 rs owner and editor OF
the Lake Shore Times which he publish
ed for two years, until 1899. when he
was appointed rs consul to Cork, Ire
land, by President Harrison. At the
conclusion of his term as consul in 1873,
he returned to Manitowoc and founded
the Times Press which he continued to
run as weekly Republican paper for
six years. In 1899 The Times Press and
Manitowcc Daily Herald were consoli'
dated under the firm name of Herald
Press Pub. Co. Mr.. Kress was elected
president of the company and held the
position continuously until a week ago.
when he doffed the newspaper harness.
Mr.. Kress has proved himself forceful
newspaper man and possesses the faculty
of making good when he starts things.
He combines the qualities OF being
good mixer with that of being tireless
hustler. He always gave his readers
good paper and made some money Tor
himself. He took an active part IN
politics and when quite young man
was delegate to the National Republi-
can convention which nominated BenJa-
min Harrison for president. Since his
appointment as pos. master here several
years ago he has devoted his attention
to the editorial department only. DE
knows the game of politics we'll, as play
ed from the editorial room, and has
always been a clever player when he
took up the gage of battle. For years
the Lake Shore Times and Times-Press
was the leading Republican paper in the
county and the principal contemporary
of the PILOT. With a few years inter
ruption Editor Kress has seen long
continuous service rs a newspaper man.
Now at his retirement The PILOT ex-
tends to him sincere wishes for continued
prosperity and happiness.

men have come before the public seek

another four year term. Mr. Groelle

DR.. PRITCHARD GIVES RAIL-
WAY HISTORY OF COUNTY.

In very interesting paper before the
torical Society last Thursday evening,
DR.. J. F. Pritchard traced the early his
tory of railway building in this county
and gave many interesting facts con.
cerning the same. Among the attempts
at early railroad building were described
the attempt made in 1865 to build the
Manitowoc & Mississippi road and
several later movements of similar ma
ture but it was not until 1872 that a road
was finally gotten through to the city,
The first engine run into the city on the
new road is now in the scrap heap at the
Kaukauna yards, and after the meeting
it was proposed that this engine he se-
cured and placed in one of the parks
here. The building of the line from
Manitowoc to Two Rivers was also
traced rs was the removal of the shops
to Kaukauna and the consequent effect
upon Manitowoc as a railroad center.
The bond issue for the aid of the rail.
road was discussed and the location of
the depot told of. The building of the
Wisconsin Central Branch from Neenah
to this city was also described by the
Doctor and many interesting facts in
connection with it were disclosed. The
fact OF the ST. Paul road touching at
Kiel was referred to and the prediction
made that just as soon as the business
of this city warranted the building of
another railroad in here we would have
one. The paper was one of the most in
teresting that has been presented to the
society.

LOOKS GLOOMY FOR STOLzE.

The indications are that Grotfman will
be elected mayor over Stolze by a big
majority. Apparently the voters are
paying no attention to the shouting of
the Socialists about their visionary pur-

an economic revolution. 1t looks as If
the energy spent by the Socialists in
propagating the flighty doctrines of
Socialism is wasted. 1t is pity that
such persistence and such zeal should be
thus misspent. We pity the poor delud

been produced as a popular favorite for
four consecutive seasons 1t was given
a hearty welcome at the New Academy

play is laid in Indiana and the plot re-
wolves around the life of young man

speaker at the annual banquet given by
the North Dakota Association of the Dis
trict of Columbia at the Hotel Johnson

North Dakota'S admission to statehood
was celebrated. The senator reviewed the
history of North Dakota and expressed
the opinion that 1t had future not eX-
ceeded in promise by that of any other
young state.
Particular stress was laid by Senator
McCumber upon the fact that in North
Dakota family trees counted for nothing
The strength of a man was measured by
his own individuality and not by the in
dividualities or achievements of his fore
bears.
1t is the character of a man that
counts out there" he said. THE people
of this part of the country must under
stand that we are measured by what we
are. and not by our ancestry
