VETS WIN VICTORY IN
CITIES OF WISCONSIN
Larger Towns of the State Refuse
to Vote saloon Licenses Out
of Existence.
RACINE HEADS TIE DAMP LIST
Mere Handful of Towns Changes to
Dry Side, While Many
Restore Liquor.

Wet victories were the rule in the
scores of license elections held in Wis
consin Tuesday. Notable in the list of
cities which refused to vote out license
were Racine, GAINESVILLE, New Rich
mond. Baraboo Platteville, River Falls,
Waupaca, Galesville, Hudson, Monroe
and Trempealeau, while the most i'm
portant change from wet to dry was
Edgerton, wet two years ago by thirty,
which went dry this year by a margin
of nine votes. Stoughton, Lodi, Viro-
qua and Cumberland remain dry.
New Richmond, which were wet this
year, was dry for nearly two years,
but a few days ago court decision
was rendered that the city had voted
dry illegally, because of faulty cleo
tion notice. The vote on Tuesday,
however, revokes the former verdict
of the voters. The results on license
are as follows:

There we're not many contests in
the State upon party issues. The ma
jority of the contests were with non
partisan candidates. In many of these
cases the candidates for the party
nominations were forced to run as non
partisan candidates, owing to the fail
ure at the primary election to poll 20
per cent of the normal party vote. I'm
der the law the winning candidate Of
any party, all of whose candidates do
not poll 20 per cent of the vote of that
party at the last eelction, must run as
non-partisan. The following Mayors
were elected in the different Wiscon-
sin cities:

THE GRAVEL BANK FAKE.

To THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL: Will
you kindly permit me space in which to
reply to an article published in the edi-
torial columns of the Waldo County Her
aid of last week. While my name is not
mentioned in the article it is universally
believed that am the person the editor
was after. He says, in part:
Among them are the men who in years past
have profted through. the administration of
city affairs, in fact, the most active man in
promoting condition, that will lead to an
other period of strife, is whose bank
account has been swelled from the money of
the tax payers, through the sale of enormous
quantities of gravel frcm an embankment that
originally cost but a mere pittance. In fact. it
is said that the city has paid in single year
more than five times the entire original cost of
the embankment.
The following are the actual facts:
l do not own the gravel bank or any
part Of it, and never did; and further,
have never sold the city load Of gravel
for my own account. The gravel bank
prior to January "a, 1900, was the prop
erty of E. L. Whittier and on that date
the title passed to Elizabeth E. Knowl-
ton, my mother, since which time have
sold the city, as her agent, the enormous
quantity" of gravel enumerated below:

The prison inspectors have given the
usual slap at the Waldo county Jail, but
the old building can stand it. The Jail
may not be of a modern type of archi-
lecture or strictly up-todate in all its
appointments; but it stands solidly on its
foundation and is an enduring monument
to it's builders. We do not feel that the
tax payers of Waldo county are called
upon to erect Waldorf Astoria for the
entertainment of hobos. Few of our peo-
pie can afford baths, set bowls, hot and
cold water in each room, and electric
lights; and why should they be provided
for those whose disinclination for work
leads them to seek the shelter of a Jail
during the winter months?

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portions of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu

Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inf1amec

ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation car
be taken out and this tube restored to its nor.
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca.
tarrh, which, nothing but an inflamed con-
diton of the mucous surfaces.

case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can

Everybody is liable to make mistakes,
but few men will walk deliberately into
a hornets nest as Obadiah Gardner has
done in announcing through the columns
of the Kennebec Journal that he does
not propose to be thrown out of my
party by men who have been former
ly Republicans - meaning, Of course,
w. R. Pattangall of The Maine Demo-
crat. Whereupon Mr.. Pattangall en-
quires: Upon what meat hath this our
Caesar fed that he has grown so great
that the test Of party loyalty is to be the
supporting Of him in his ambition, not to
be elected Governor of Maine, (for no
sane and well informed man believes for
a moment that Mr. Gardner can be elect
ed next falD but to be re-nominated for
Governor" And further: 'tShould he be
nominated he will have our loyal sup
port. We can cheerfully accord him
that for two reasons: first, that, as
choice of evils, we should prefer him to
Republican,; and second, because, know
ing he was sure to be defeated, our sup
port of him and voting for him, could
work no possible injury to Maine" Mr..
Pattangall says that "the Republican
press, leaders and party, are unanimous
in desiring Mr.. Gardner's denomination,
which may or may not be true. So far
as The journal is concerned we agree
with The Maine Democrat that his cleo
ton would be misfortune. As Master
of the State Grange he was command
ing figure, and his annual addresses-in
the preparation of which it later became
evident he must have had able assistance
were generally commended. When he
descended from his pedestal as the head
of an organization of intelligent and pro-
gressive farmers and became candidate
for Office it was quickly seen that he was
made of very common clay; that he had
no settled convictions or principles, but
was ready to blow hot or cold to attain
the Office he sought. In other directions
it was evident that he was utterly devoid
of the qualifications that are required of
the chief executive of the State Of Maine.
As to his nomination this year, that is
matter for the Democrats to decide. It
is none of our funeral.

Total amount sold the city, S573.6O, or an
average of S95. go per year. These figures
can be verified by the city records and
the date of ownership of the bank can be
ascertained at the Registry of Deeds for
this county. The above quoted paragraph
is simply a foolish lie which has been
Haunted before the public at frequent
intervals for the past three years.
Again the Herald says:
This same man-who has retired from bust
ness, with large competence earned by an
industrious and respected father-publicly an
nounced in Mr.. O'Connell's restaurant recently,
that he determined the administration of
city affairs should be changed this spring, eff
it cost $4,000 to do the work"
The part Of the above paragraph which
pertains to the utterances in Mr.. O'Con-
nell's restaurant is an unmitigated lie.
If anyone doubts the truth of this state
ment he is respectfully referred to Mr..
O'Connell.
All l will say in reply to the accusation
of having retired from business on a COM
petence earned by my father is, that my
inheritance might have been larger had
the estate not been obliged to pay note
for about 1877 to the Peoples National
Bank, which my father signed as surety
for E. F. Hanson.
He further says:
His voice is heard by night, ringing out from
the places of meeting, where he has gathered
few kindred spirits, into whom he is trying
to breathe some spirit Of enthusiasm, and as
one citizen remarked, "the meetings are semi
private, private in intention, but public in
fact"
1t is reported this man announced at one of
these meetings SO loudly that it was heard on
the street 1--WE must beat Hanson this spring."
and then calling the Mayor a vile name, de-
clared that if he is beaten "we'll be able to
hold the city government for years.
Concerning the above | beg to inform
the Honorable Editor that he is sadly
mistaken in the ringing voice. as I have
not been a member Of any political COM
mittee for three years, nor have attend
ed a political meeting this winter, day or
night.
And once again:
Now you can see the upper strata and the
lower hobnobbing together with an apparent
feeling of brotherly love that is truly touch
ing, IN fact, the citizen of the north and the
son of Africa become for the time being chums.
There is class distinction, racial prejudice is
forgotten, they literally fall on each others
neck in working for their common veal. We
know this for we have seen it.
William johnson is my friend and l
claim the right to speak to him and have
done so every time have met him for
over twenty years. l also claim the right
to talk with him when the spirit moves,
and he has the time and is willing.
Since William johnson has been old
enough to work he has always earned
an honest living, and, in my opinion, is
entitled to the respect of the entire COM
munity. resent thousand times more
the reference to him than the attack on
myself, because it was meaner, more con-
temptible and wholly uncalled for.
