Believing as he does, the governor
vetoed the Hull bill prohibiting swear
ing in any public place under a pen
atty OF a $25 fine or thirty days In jail
or both fine and imprisonment. AS

disappointed and Will try to pass the

prohibit the low-browed timber crnis.
ers and lumber jacks from using pro.
family in the postoffice and other pub
lie places in Black River Falls.
