Congressman /. L. Lenroot of the
Eleventh district is TO have opposi-
tion. Opposition, in that another
Superiorite will be in the field for
the same Office, but NOT opposition
in the sence of being in any danger
of suffering defeat at the hands of
his opponent. Ex- Mayor Stark
weather of Superior has announced
himself candidate against Lenroot.
No one however, has hailed the an
nouncement with joy, unless it be
here or there stalwart paper-and
even they show but a forced brand
of enthusiasm. In this part of the
district, Starkweather's s can didscy is
taken as joke, and from the opln-
ion expressed by Joe Konkeltin his
Clarion Leader, the same sentiment
prevails in the ex-mayor's home city,
Joe Konkel tells things IL homely
way, but IN this case his remarks
are tittingly apt. Hesays: Another
political entcee of the week is ex-
mayor Stark kweather for congression-
al honers. Mr.. StarBweather will
try to defeat Congressman Lenroot..
Charley, old boy, your up against a
brace game. You will look just as
big when you get thru with the fight
as the SNOWFALL that has spent a
summer in Hades, or ST. Louis.
Stick to your hens. Charley, stick to
your hens. They may not be able to
furnish you as much excitement, but
the profits of the game will be a
great deal larger. Ii John J. Jen-
kins, with all his prestige in con-
gress, couldn't keep Lenroot from
getting the nomination two years
ago, how, pray, do you expect to
beat him this year? Charley, don t
let your pseudo friends fool you into
spending your time and money.
There is rot man in the district
who could come within a million
miles of beating Lenroot, and 1 can t
now think OF a man who ought to
beat him. My boy, stick to the
hens. C rantsburg Journal.

Knight Campaign Committee

To the Voters of this Assembly
Dis strict:-
Are you a progressive? Do you
favor the reelection of Senator La
Toilette? If you do you must sup
port Knight for the assembly. Do
you know that the Stalwart organ
ization in this state is doing it's ut
most to secure con troll of the legis-
lature in order to defeat LaFollette,
when he GENES up for reelection at
the session next winter. They will
pay no attention to the primaries
they are after the legislature. Do
you know that Mr. W. T. Connor the
state chairman of the Stawart COM
mittee is supporting Mr.. Hammill?
Do you know that Mr.. Hammill was
one of the few men who went from
this assembly district to the recent
Stalwart convention at Milwaukee.
Do you know that the sole purpose
of that convention was to meet and
formulate plans for the defeat OF
Senator LaFollette. Do you know
that Mr.. Hammill has the active
support of this organization in his
campaign for reelection. In other
words Mr.. Hammill is an anti-La-
Toilette man, and if this is your
view he is entitled to your support.
If on the other hand, you believe we
should return LaFOllette to the
senate, to continue the great work
he is now DOING. you must support a
nan for the legislature who will vote
for him. William Knight of Bay
field is an out and out LaFollette
man, At the solicitation of large
number of friends OF Senator LaFOl-.
lette Mr.. Knight was induced to
enter the contest, believing that
there should be no doubt about the
standing of the candidate for Assem-
by on the question of United States
Senator. We believe you should
know the true situation and we are
sure you will see that your friends
understand it. Mr.. Hammill abso-
lutely refuses to state his position
on the Senatorship. You can de-
pend upon it he will not support La
Toilette. Yours Truly,
Knight Campaign Committee.

George Lemieux Secures a
Patent on a Mail Delivery
Simplifes Matter of Handling
Mail Where There is no
Station.

The United States Patent Office
this week granted to George
Lemieux of this city Patent No.
966223 on a Mail Delivery which
it is intended will simplify the
matter of handling mail from
places where the train does not
stop. Heretofore the trains have
been equipped with a cast iron
arm which hooked the sacks
from a similar arm as the train
was passing. The device has
not been very satisfactory as far
as the government was concerned
on account of the number of
sacks that were torn in handling.
With the new device just patent
ed by Mr.. Lemieux it will be
impossible for the sacks to be
torn IN the least, or any Of the
contents broken. The device
consits of barrel cylinder
worked by spring. The mail
is placed in the cylinder and as
the train passes the lever is
released and the mail is thrown
into the door of the mail car.
The device is simple but strong
in construction and Mr.. Lemieux
expects much from it.

At a meeting of the county Board
of Ashland county held on Tuesday.
it was decided that Ashland county
should help Bayfield, county to buy
land for an experimental farm to be
located near Ashland Junction.
While it may be that large number
of the members of the county Eoar,i
viii favor this proposition, there
will have to be a meeting of the
board before any definite action is
taken booking to the appropriation
of the money. The experimental
farm would be splendid institution
and Ashland and Bayfield, coarfties
could make no better provision for
the teaching of practical farming
in this region than to present the
land for the farm. II

Walls Have Been Papered Postmaster Will Look Out for Those Who Dis

The lobby of the post officeis in bet ter shape than it has been since it was new. R.Davies Saturday papered the lower part of the wall and all the pencil and pen marks that have for so long been an eye-sore to those who had any pride in Mena and very bad advertisement for visitors to see, are now covered up. No arrests have ever been made here for defacine the walls, but the present postmaster L. M. Wimberley says there will pro- bably be some if thoughtless or reck- less persons continue to mark up the walls and spit upon the walls or floor. He has desire to keep the office in as good cnndition as a home should be kept.
 There are both state and federal statutes covering the defacine of pub lie buildings.

BACK FROM TEXAS
J. H. Naler Says That Polk County Lands Equal the Best There and Can
 Be Had for Much Less.

J. H. Naler has returned from Tex as where he was called on the 4th inst. to attend the funeral of sister s husband, J. c. Wilson. who died at his home at Dallas. He was buried at Moody, Tex. last Saturday. It will be remembered. that Mir Wilson spent last summer in Mena. Mrs. Wilson is expected to come here soon to spend some time. MT. Naler says the crops in Texas, so far as he saw, were no better than crops in Arkansas, and he can't see why people will pay $100 per acre for land in Texas when they can buy land in Polk county, Ark. from $500 to $20 that will produce as much per acre as Texas land
 He says if the people in Polk county would build the land, make 1t rich, we would gather more from the acres than Texas can raise.
 He saw man running a scraper through his cotton to fill up the cracks, to keep the ground from dry ing out, and that land sells for $100 per acre simply because the country is advertised.
 MT. Naler says he was very glad to get back to Mena and get a drink of the best water to be found. He lived over 30 years in Texas and hopes to live long time in Polk county.
