The simple fact about the Merrill
post-Office contest is that the present
national administration is bent on de
teating Senator La Toilette, and I'M
der no circumstances would President
Taft appoint a man to any office thai
was suspected of La Folletism. And
we are finding no fault with the pres
dent on thai score, but if the News
knows of that which it speaks then
President Taft is out of his place
Because the meanest criminal in this
country is allowed to plead in his
own defense, and he cannot do that
without being confronted with his
Observation-Disclosures Daily Herald.
If President Taft, Aldrich and Can
non, and other Administration Repub,
liceals, believe that they can turnout
of office, and refuse to appoint pro-
gressive republicans to office, simply
because they see fit to support other
republicans like La Toilette, Lenroot
and Cooper, they are quite likely to
hear something drop this fall. II
looks to us as if President Taft was
belittling himself and his office in
such conduct. We were in hopes that
he would prove himself above such
peanut politics, but guess he is not
above it. His refusal to appoint men
recommended by Senator La Toilette
and Lenroot for the past two years
shows that he is guilty of small poll
tics. We are sure the Progressive
Republicans of Wisconsin win resent
such actions on his part and the adj
ministration generally. There is only
one outcome to such conduct and that
is defeat. The American spirit of
fairness and equity is too great to
stand by and see such conduct even
by the President of the United States
We protest against it and shall fight
it to the bitter end whatever it costs.

1t is the desire of the Stalwart
boys to divide the LaFollette strength
on the County Option question. Els
pecialIy is, this true and evident in
Adams and Waupaca counties. Don't
let them mislead you ON any such
question. The issue now in Wisconsin
is, ''Win you return Senator IA Fol-
fette to the United States Senator"
That is the paramount issue. We
now have local option in Wisconsin,
Amy community can enforce it if the
temperance sentiment is strong E.
nough If you had County Option it
would only extend that right to Coun-
ties in place of cities. Enforce what
you now have. Progressives don't let
the Stalwart's fool you. Our friend
A. S. Collins of the Wild Rose Times
must be under the influence of w.
D. Connor, for he appears to be ac-
tive in this line. La Toilette sup
parters don't ALLOW the County Option
issue to mislead you. A word to
the wise, in time, is sufficient. Keep
your eye on the main issue, that is,
to return Senator La Toilette to the
U. S. Senate.

ington to uphold Special Privilege
for the few at the cost of the many.
The decision is with YOU.
YOU MUST DECIDE

We urge the following taken from
the Milwaukee Journal:
1t is only forty days to the prd-
mary election, when the people of
Wisconsin will determine who shall
be candidates for the legislature,
state offices and congress.
The legislature win have to elect a
successor to Senator LaFolette, and
the next governor may have the APP
pointment of a United States SEN
ator in case Mr.. Stephenson retires.
If Progressive men are not chosen
for every office it will be the fault
of the voters. Not more than ) or
10 per cent would vote for Aldrich-
ism and Cannonism were the issues
markedly presented to them. The hope
to defeat the popular will lies in mar
| ipulation and a division of the Pro
gressive vote. The people know this
and upon them rests the responsible
| ity of electing true men.

COUNTY BOARD PROCEEDINGS

Assuming that the above values
are approximately correct, it must be
evident to all of you that there is
need of radical change if proIser

seems to be no other way than that
all taxable property be assessed at
true value.

some people that if a full valuation
is made it might result in an undue

since in reference to that matter:

What is w. D. Conner doing in
Milwaukee, acting as chairman OF
the so-called Taft Republicans for
The only object of the organization
headed by w D. Connor is the de
feat of Senator La Toilette and the
election of man satisfactory to
Special Privilege.
No one can deny but these things
exists. That senatorial seats are
purchased, that Special Privilege
walks arm in arm with President
Taft.
If these things are not remedied
and the government at Washington
is not restored to the people, the re-
republic will fall AS Lincoln said,
this government cannot stand half
slave and half free, nor can it stand
in control of Special Privilege.-Mer-

While LaFollette was fighting to
whip measures before the senate in
10 some kind of shape for the people,
Stephenson was voting steadily with
Aldrich. Did LaFollette or Stephen
son faithfully represent the voters
of Wisconsin?
While Lenroot, Nelson, Cooper and
Cary were voting against Cannoniss1,
Stafford voted from beginning to end
for Cannonism. Did Lenroot and his
Progressive associates vote as the
people of Wisconsin would have them
vote, or was it Stafford who faith
fully represented his constituents?
These are the questions Wisconsin
must answer.
If there are no Progressive can
didates on the ticket in November.

IN THE HANDS OF OUR FRIENDS.

The editor of this paper will be a
candidate for the Republican nominal
ton for assemblyman as announced
elsewhere in this paper Several
weeks ago he was mentioned" for
the honor, but at first did not con-
slider the matter seriously. Within
the past week a large number of in
fluential friends in different parts of
the county have been urging him to
become a candidate and therefore he
consents to allow his name to go be-
fore the electors for their consid-
Grafton.
Heretofore he has always been con
tent to serve in the ranks of the
Republican party and help others int
office. More than once he has dec1ir
ed to run for office, but this time oil
friends will have an opportunity to
see his name in print on a primary
ballot and We hope they will stay by
him loyalty, assured that if nomina-
ted and elected he win serve Wood
county in particular and the state in
general conscientiously and to the
best of his ability.-Wood County

The general impression obtains
that circus employees are a reckless
lot, easy spenders and careless of the
morrow. That opinion may be true
of some circuses but it does not ap-
ply to the employees of Campbell

Yesterday was pay day with the cir
Gus and the money order clerk in the
postoftice was kept busy for a loug
time making out money orders for
them to be sent home to their wives
and families in the different parts of

invested will not fall very short Of
81 900.
