At the recent primaries the Re-
publicans polled 190,967 votes for
governor. The Democrats polled
46, ,270. The republicans therefore
outnumber the Democrats four to
one. This clearly demonstrates the
impossibility of electing the Demo
cratic nominee for attorney general,
1t is easier and altogether better to
elect Crownheart, the independent
candidate, who is progressive re
publican and in harmony with the
Republican platform which he helped
construct.
Bancroft is neither fish nor fowl.
He recently assailed the progress
ives, condemned the platform and
called LaFolette the Mad Mullah
OF Wisconsin. Later he declared
he is not a stalwart and is not in
sympathy with them. He has no
good words for anyone but himself.
Mr.. Dohorty, the Democratic cau-
didate for attorney general. is not
nor never was a progressive. He is
not in accord with the progressive
cause ard there is no reason why
progressive Republicans should sup
port him. Vote for Crownhart;
make all x in the square after his
came which you will find in the in
dependent column at the righ t-hand
side of the ballot.

Many New Walks

The season for building cement
walks has now passed for an
other year. During the season
just closed a large amount of
new walks have been built and
the improvement to the city has
been very noticeable. The city
department. has taken hold OF
their end of the work in good
shape and new walks were laid
in front of large amount of
city property. individuals have
taken an interest in the pimrove-
ments and there has been a con-
tinual demand for the city to
give property owners the grade,
in which event new walks would
be laid. This has been done as
fast as possible oy Street Com
missioner Mike Larson and the
walks have been laid. During
the fall many walks were laid in
places where the old walks were
torn up and this has given a con-
tinuous sidewalk in many places.
The next season will see more
walks built than the past, and
the looks of the city will be per-
manently beautitied thereby.
Let the good work go on.

Hunchbacks and Cripples
Result of Ignorance.
Parents Should be Alert to
Recognize Possibility of
tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis of the bones and
joints is responsible for every
case Of hunchback. Practically
every cripple with a. stiff hip.
short leg Or high soled shoe is
living monument to someone's
carelessness, negligence or ig-
norance.
This is the startling statement
made by the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association in a
bulletin which throws a ray of
hope in these encouraging words.
1.-The hunchback and cripple
will have largely disappeared in
a generation if we are alert to
recognize the possibility of early
bone and joint tuberculosis.
While there are other conditions
which cripple their victims much
more is possible in prevention
and relief than ever before.
tuberculosis of the bone, like
pulmonary tuberculosis, or con-
sumption, is a preventable dis
ease.
Bone tuberculosis is a germ
disease. Tt is the most common
in children occurring between the
ages of and Is years. 1t is
never hereditary. New born
children are in no way doomed if
removed from tuberculosis par
ents and unhygienic surround
ings.
parents too often mistake
early symtons of bone and joint
tuberculosis as being growing
pains of rheumatism. They rub
the sore spots with linime ent in
stead of consulting a competent
physician. The child soon be-
comes an apparently hopeless
cripple.
"Some of the danger signals
are; In spinal disease, a slight
dis;nclination to indulge in
usual play or sports; in disease
of the hip, a slight limp, often
ntermit tent; in disease of other
| Joints, such as knees, ankles,
wrists and fingers. a slight pain
and limitation of motion.
"The slightest symtom should
be the cause of Immediate inves-
tigation. If suspicious are veri-
fed the efficient remedies which
exist should be applied without
delay

Council Would Turn Down
Park Proposition
Opposing Members Say that
City is Not in shape to
Buy Real Estate.

A meeting of the common
council was held at the council
chambers on Tuesday even
ing of this week at which time
the principle business to come
up was the proposition wheth-
er or not the city should take
steps to purchase the tract of
land lying along the lake
shore for park purposes.
Had the entire council been
present the proposition would
have carried, but with two
members away it left the vote
a tie and Mayor G. A. Herring
cast the deciding vote
which was intended to kill the
proposition,
Since the move to buy a
park was first started by the
Commercial Club members
there has been some little op-
position to it, not from the
business interests or heavy
taxpayers, but from a few
property holders who thought
that there were other things
that the city should first ac-
quire before takirg up the
park proposition. This op-
posing sentimeny has not
grown to any extent, but
those in favor OF the park
proposition believing that
there was no question but
what the councilfwould be
favorable, let the matter go
along and no endeavor was
made to have the entire cOun-
Gil present at the Tuesday
meeting, otherwise the vote
would have been different.
The proposition was first
brought before the council at
the October meeting when a
resolution was introduced
to take steps to buy the prop
perty. This was passed to
it's second reading and should
have been finally settled Tues
day night. At the meeting
an amendment to the original
resolution was introduced and
after considerable discussion
in which some very uncOmpli-
mentary remarks were pass
led, the amendment was final
ly voted upon and killed by
the following votes:
Corning, Olson O'Sul-
livan, Ambly and Estabrook.
No-Nelson, Taberman,
Peterson, Thompson, Potvin,
Herring.
The land in question was
offered to the city at about
one third ofits real value, and
would have made one OF the
prettiest natural parks that
could be found anywhere.
The matter may again come
up before the council at some
future time.
