UNLAWFUL ACTS.

Considerable feeling has been stirred
i sfsssseEce election among both parties
over some matters which occurred
last Tuesday. 1t will probably re-
suit in a closer watch of polling places
in the future, if nothing else. 1t ap-
pears that the law was broken in
both city and county. We are told
that in one town two men were sup
piled with four jugs of whiskey not
far from the polling place and nearly
every man who came to vote was
offered a drink. When asked who
purchased this whiskey and for what
reason it was given to voters our in
formant said he did not know. At
this same polling place men were
voted after five O'Clock when the polls
were by law ordered closed We are
further informed that the polls were
not legally closed but are still open
to this day. Also that pluggers stood
at the door of the polling place and
dished out cards of candidates.
In another town, we are told, two
crews working in logging camps were
brought to the polling place after
five o'clock and voted.
In at least two wards in the city
men stood within 100 feet of the poll
ing place telling voters to vote GER
tain tickets and for certain men.
Efforts were also made to vote men
who were not registered.
These are probably only few in
stances of infractions of the law. In
mentioning these things since to can
didates on both tickets we find ex-
pressions Of disapproval of such tao
tics. Every candidate to whom we
mentioned the matter has stated en-
phatically that he would rather be
elected or defeated cleanly and by
honest methods than by such proceed
ure.
Some of the election boards did not
observe the law which requires that
all bags of ballots returned to the
county clerk shall be sealed. The
board in one ward in the city did not
do it.

In this issue of the PILOT is a COM

on to state that in July, 1870, the con-
struction of the bridge spanning the
Wisconsin river at Jenny, was let to
Hon. B. G. Plumer for s5,800 The
bridge had been completed and a
dance was given on the day that it
was finished, the music being furn-
ished by G. p. Poor of Wausau. They
danced until broad daylight in the
morning. The bridge was $50 feet
long and had three piers under the
same which were put in by d. w. c..
Mitchell. The bridge was under tie
superintendency of John Irwin. The
communication goes on to say that
Mr.. Plumer was deserving of high
praise for the manner in which he
had watched over the work and his

HIGH SCHOOL VOTES.

AT every general election for many
years it has been the custom of the
Wausau high school to secure the
regular ballots and hold an election.
Sometimes speeches are made by
scholars, espousing the cause of each
party represented on the ticket. The
election held in the high school,
strange to say, resulted in the
same as it did in the county-every
democrat elected with the exception
of John King, republican, who re.
ceived a majority for the Office OF
county clerk. The high school is 9
pretty good criterion to go by.

The republicans went forth in the
land and preached the gospel of Can
non, Aldrich, ct al. Yea, they pointed
to the beauties of the Payne tariff
bill, but the people had seen enough
of it. "Best tariff bill ever passed.
croaked Big Frog Taft, and ali the
smaller frogs in the pond croaked,
"Best tariff bill ever passed" Every
thing looked lovely, SO they said
Then came frost-a killing frost
and their blooming hopes were nipped.
The result of last Tuesdays cleo
tion is summed up in five words
there was a democratic landslide.
There was reason for this. In the
matter of honor a political party is
just like an individual. If a party
repudiates its promises it loses friends,
and when it plays traitor to the trust
imposed in it by the people, it cannot
help but make bitter enemies in it's
own ranks, of voters who will never
come back under the folds of it's
banners.
Wen revise the tariff said the repub-
lican party in 1908, and the people ex-
pecting to get some relief from the
already high enough prices, voted
the party into power. The trusts re-
vised the teriff, and when Pompous
Taft signed the Payne bill he signed
the death warrant of the republican
party. For months the voters had
been eagerly awaiting the day when
with ballots they could register their
disapproval of living conditions.
Local and state candidates of course
had no hand in the frame-up with
the trusts, but they had to fall with
the Shiny congressman who were
guilty. 1t was not SO much choice
of personality or matter of capabil-
ity as it was protest. A great
many men and women addicted to
vices ard habits have reformed but
the word reform is word not found
in the lexicon of crooked politician.
"By their deeds ye shall know
them," and studying the acts of every
congress from the foundation of our
government up, we know of none
so black and crooked as those of the
last. The wind was sown. The side
wheel of a hurricane struck the
country last Tuesday, and in two
years from that time this hurricane
will have completed circle, and come
back with accumulated energy,
striking us with full force and sweep
ing nearly everything before it.
Teddy is drawing plans for cyclone
cellar for Big Brother Bill, to draw
his pompous hulk into. So much for
the cause, now for the effect:
The first returns to be received
Tuesday night were from the village
of Unity and town of Brighton.
These were forerunners of what was
coming. Every town and village re-
porting after that showed a large fall
ing off of the republican vote and a
large increase for the democrats. BY
l0:30 O'Clock it was practically as
sured that nearly every republican
county candidate was defeated. Even
Book, Chellis and King, who had
heretofore been so successful at the
game of politics, apparently went
down with the rest of their ticket,
though the board of canvassers have
since counted King in.
Reports received from other points
in the slate and from other states
showed that the landslide was not
confined to this county. but that
there was general uphe& wi all over
the country, especially in the East.

THOUGHTS POLITICAL.

The town of FranZen is making
progress. Some years ago there was
only one democrat in that town. 1t
was necessary then for some of the
republicans to change their coat for
one day and play democrat on the
election board, to make the election
in that town legal. But times have
changed. There are at present fif-
teen democrats in the town, which
leaves a small republican majority.
The total vote cast last Tuesday was
less than forty.
The newly elected officers will as
sumo charge of their offices Monday,
January 2. Messrs. Schirpke and
Beyreis will be two new faces
in the court house.
The defeated candidates are al
ready laying plans for the future, but
it is too soon to say what lines of
business they will take up.
In the two years coming MeSSrs.
Pivernetz and Warren will feel lonely
in the court house, they being the
only two republican Office holders
left, although neither were elected
under party designation.
We would like to remind our old
friend Chris. Johnson of Merrill, that
the democratic party is not as dead
as a door nail, as he has so often
said. 1t is very lively ghost.
G. A, A. McGee defeated republi-
can candidate for district attorney,
now suggests that in the next cleo
tion in Milwaukee the republicans
and democrats fuse, to beat the social
lists.
In western city where there was a
fight between ''wets" and "drys"
the "drys" caused an undertaken to
place two coffins in his windows. In
these collins two cadavers were placed
in sitting position, and above them
was sign reading, ''These men died
from drink" These "stiffs" were
pointed out to every citizen going to
a certain polling place to vote.
Herman Vetter and John Hinrichs
both know how it feels to go through
two campaigns for one office. The
salary of county treasurer is not
large, and he can hold Office but two
consecutive terms, therefore de-
feat means much to candidate.
1t is all over now but the filing Of
election expenses.
1t cost Capt. VIM. Lewis S77, 900 to
get his name before the people at the
primaries and then have his measure
taken. But then he owns an auto
mobile factory and can stand it.
Right after the primary he laid off
over 1000 of his men. Sweet revenge!
Two women were elected to county
Office in this state. Miss Adeline
Pratt was elected register of deeds of
Marinette county by a close vote.
Mrs. Nellie Archibald defeated two
men in Ashland county in the race
for county treasurer. Mrs. Archi-
bad received about as many votes as
her two opponents put together, and
her expense account amounted to
only about $50. These two instances
may give ladies in other counties
courage to run for office. They might
purify methods of campaigning and
eliminate the extravaganza incident
to campaigns.
And now since election is over,
We'll prepare for Thanksgiving.

spect, like Jas. Jeffries. 1t failed to
