HAVE PIPED THE SPRING.

The Marathon Paper Mills Co. has
solved problem which has, since the
dam was built, taxed the ingenuity
of its engineers. When excavating
was done at the west side of the river
for the wall which braces that end of
the dam, large flowing spring was
encountered. This spring gushed up
water in such quantity as to threaten
the undermining of the wall. Several
means were tried to carry the water
away, but they proved inefficient.
At last five or six holes were drilled
through the wall and iron pipes were
inserted and the water now flows into
the river. 1t gushes forth from these
pipes with force enough to lead one
to believe that the pipes are connected
with a water main, and they are-to
one of Natures. The water is as cold
and pure as can be had, and it is re-
grettable thing that it is going to
waste.

another important feature to be dis

FAIRMINDED REPUBLICANS.

While going up and down the state soliciting votes
at the primary, Francis E. McGovern made this en-
phatic statement
1.-THE differences beoeen the factions IN the Republican
party greater and ider than the differences bet,oeen
the republican party and the democratic party"
And now that the supreme court has declared that
Levi H. Bancroft is the duly nominated candidate
the republican state ticket, the other candidates on
that tcketrepresenting the extreme halfbreed fac
ton are losing time in repudiating the stalwart
Bancroft as unworthy of the votes of Gods poeo poor
Francis E. McGovern, candidate for governor in an
interview in a Milwaukee paper, says:
LeUi H. Bancroft is not entitled tie support of any
progressive republican, am convinced that he should be
elected to the office Of attorney general and shall certainly
not support has caadiddcy."
James A. Frear, candidate for secretary of state
says:
crofts nomination Individually and cannot aid him."
Herman L. Ekern, candidate for insurance commits
sioner, says:
II am not for Bancroft for attorney general and de-
clares that the placing of Bancroft's name on the
ticket
Imposes moral obligation the part of any one to
support him."
Andrew FL. Dahl, candidate for state treasurer, is
also reported to be against stalwart Bancroft.
The chairman of the republican state central com
mittee, Henry Krumrey says
81 shall not stuty myself by casting my for Mr..
Bancroft shall not 0Ork for him. / shall gire him no
aid aohateUer."
Congressman Lenroot:
II cannot support him. In every speech make intend
to ADVOCATE the election Of every the republican ticket
except LeUi III. Bancroft"
There you have it Mr.. Farminded Republican.
E. T. Faircbd or Geo. B. Hudnal or any other of
your primary candidates had been nominated the con-
dtion would have been the same the followers of
Robert M. La Toilette will vote for no who is not
entirely subservient and who will not accept the alpha
and omega of every dictum of Buncombe Bob
What stand are the great of farminded re-
pueliCans going to take at this exhibition of intoer
ance on the part of these minded candidates
and party managers Can they consistently vote for
these men, who at every opportunity, when the pri
mary results do not go their way repudate their
Landed primary reform the prime essential of
sentative government? If the voters who cast their
ballots for Levi II. Bancroft will be consistent-to
say nothing of that large body of voters who stand for
square deal against dirty deal-and will vote for
the clean and able candidates the democratic ticket
the political hghbinders in the republican party will
receive most valuable and salutary lesson November
9Th and the state of Wisconsin for the next two
at least-wi be blessed with administration of
public affairs in the interest of the people.
The state republican committee after weeks delay,
awaiting orders, repudiates Bancrofts candidacy and
endorses LaFollettes campaign manager.
The Mad Mullah of Wisconsin politics is still bigger

A PROTEST.

Every indication points to large democratic vote on
NOV oth The people will register protest against the
high cost of living and against higher rate of taxation
constantly increasing 1t be denied that the ex-
orbitan tariff rates placed the necessities of life
the wearing apparel and family necessities for the pur
pose OF benettng eastern manufacturers and increasing
their profits The rates fixed by the interests and
the result is what they after, higher prices The
failure OF republican congress to revise the tariff in the
interest of the consumer, understood will be
resented, and the people glad of opportunity to
enter protest by voting for the democratic candidates
That they have this opportunity in this state notwth
standing the effort of the faction in conto at Madison
to dsfranchise the democratic voter and deprive him of
political choice, is a for congratulations The
conduct OF state government by the faction in con-
troll is no less subject for protest The taxes are in
creasng in bounds without apparent reason unless
it is to increase the large army of political cormorants
and forward the political ambitions of the faction in con-
troll.
The expenditure of our state government from appox
matey two million dollars under the last democratic
state administration has been increased to ten million
dollars and instead of paying the necessary state expen-
dtures from the receipts of license from railroads
was formerly done under economical government over
four million dollars assessed upon the taxpayers
of the state and the proportion of Marathon county for
this year is $4,000 an increase of $4,000 compared with
1909
While the cost of the necessities of life and the rate of
taxation burdensome, there is in addition tendency
for legislation to restrict the rights and privileges of the
people. Numerous laws have been passed and proposed
take away and restrict personal privileges and of home
government Our state government under fractional con-
troll has orfted away from government by and for the
people, and placing instead autocratc regulation and
burdensome taxation.
