You can rest assured that if peace
between President Taft and Roosevelt
depends upon the former severing his
relations with Vice President Sherman
there's agoin' to be no peace. "-Rusk
County Journal.
Before the issue of the Journal con
tanning the above specimen of owl-like
wisdom had reached it's hearers, Presi-
dent Taft had published letter indig-
nantly denying any connection with the
action of the New York Standpatters
in turning Roosevelt down, and practi-
cally dumping Sherman from the ad-
ministration ship. The great trouble
with the "safe and sane" philosophy
of the Journal is that it is several laps
behind the events it refers to.

A H. Dahl is candidate for re-
election as State Treasurer and if effici-
ency and economy of the management
of the office is made the criterion he
will undoubtedly receive an overwhelm-
ing majority. Notwithstanding the
fact that the business of his depart
ment is constantly and rapidly increas-
ing, Mr.. Dahl has during his incumbency
greatly reduced the running expenses
of the office. This he has done by the
introduction of systematic and business
like methods, enabling him to cut down
the clerical force. Much of the useless
red tape formerly in vogue has been
cut out by Mr.. Dahl, while still pre-
serving ample safeguards for the
public funds.

A farmer living some eight miles
north of Bruce had an interview with
candidate Isaac Lund one day last
week, running as follows:
Farmer-"Mr. Lund, what do you
think of La Toilette? He's pretty
good man, isn't he?''
Lund-"Y es-yes, La Toilette is good
enough-but there are lots of good men
in Wisconsin.
The farmer says that Lund waited
some little time before replying, and
then spoke in a hesitating manner.
The manner of the candidate aroused
the farmers suspicious, which were
later deepened by conversation with
a neighbor, a town officer, who re-
marked, "Look out for that man Lund,
he doesn't act right.
The time has come when hand shakes
and soft phrases don't count. The
man that doesn't know where he stands
regarding La Toilette, or who hesitates
and studies before committing himself,
is unsafe. In the words Of the farmer,
Look out for Lund Vote for Eli
ingson, regarding whose progressivlsm
there is no doubt.

H. o. Bye, candidate for reelection
as clerk of court, is one of the pioneers
of the county, coming from ST. Paul
IA years ago, and settling on wild
land near Glen Flora He has since
added to his original purchase, and now
has 100 acres, which he is rapidly
developing. In spite of considerable
hard luck, including two serious fires,
he has secured large clearing, good
buildings and fair sized herd of stock.
He belongs to the class who are devel-
oping the county, upon whom its future
prosperity depends, and it would seem
that in filling an office such people
should be preferred to those who have
little or no interest in the county.
Mr.. Bye has always taken an active
part in local affairs, having held the
office of supervisor, chairman and
school clerk. In these positions he has
always supported measures for the
improvement and development of the
county, having at the same time in
mind proper economy in expenditures.
The work of the office of clerk of
court has during his incumbency been
performed to the satisfaction of all,
having been highly praised not only by
local parties, but by the U. S. attorney
in charge of naturalization matters.
In view of the usual custom of endors-
ing faithful officials by reelection to a
second term, there is absolutely no
reason why you should not cast your
