CANDIDACY OF CHRISTIAN j.
MELAAS.

Among the visitors in Water
town Sunday was Christian ] . Me
lass of Stoughton, who IS a Candl-
date for the republican nomination
for Secretary of State at primary
election September 6. Mr.. Melaas
is a native of Wisconsin having
been born on a farm in the town Of
Pleasant Springs, Dane county So
wears ago. He is a successful
business man and has made good
IN life and would make an excellent
secretary of state, should he be
nominated and elected. He is
very popular in his home town and
county and everybody has I'M
bounded confidence in him as a
man and citizen. His platform in
brief is as follows:
81 stand for Republicanism, as
learned it when a young man, be-
fore there was any necessity tor
adding adjectives to CLASSIFY re-
publicans, and | stand for precise
ly the same thing now. | believe
in the policies of both President
Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt. | think
President Taft is honest and cap
able and is trying to do what IS
best for his country and his party. "
If nominated and elected to the
office of Secretary of State, | shall
try to make this department a
valuable aid in assisting Legislators
to devise laws that will help bring
about economy In state admlDlstra-
ton which, from my viewpoint as
a business man, is needed"
THE people should be kept in
formed as to public disbursements,
their amount, and what they are
made for. | shall, if elected, con-
slider it part of my official duty to
furnish such information through
the medium of the public press. -"
Il further declare my belief in
the doctrine of limiting official
position to two terms, precedent
established by Washington, obey
ed by Roosevelt and confirmed by
a long line of almost unbroken
precedents in the history Of Re-
publicanism in Wisconsin,.

THOUGHTS BY TIE WAY

Samuel A. Cook is not an actor.
Dramatics have no place in his
work. He trusts the people and
does not try to fool them with red
fire, painted scenery and imitation
thunder. He is a real worker who
brings home results.
No campaign is confined to the
question of principles. The quail
fcations of men are of as great i'm
portance and their ability to carry
the principles beyond the oratorical
stage is as necessary as the princi-
pies. Samuel A. Cook is a man
who has not only the principles the
people admire, but the ability to
bring actual, living good from
them. This is proved by his
record and if he is chosen United
States senator, he will again prove
it.
Where does Senator La Toilette
stand on the county option ques-
ton? Is he for or against the pro-
position? His habit Of lodging
important issues by maintaining a
mastery silence until after victory
is achieved or defeat met, and then
claiming the credit is we'll known.
If he is for or against the PROPOSE
ton, he should have the moral
stamina to let the voters know his
position.
Champ Clark, the leader Of the
minority in the House Of Repre-
sentatives, gives a long list of the
great things the Democratic party
will do if restored to power. Say,
Champ What did it do when
in power 1t raised hades,
didn't it Poverty and misery
were rampant everywhere through
out the country. You know the
condition which prevailed and the
disastrous consequences of our last
democratic administration.
The proposition to have the re-
publican progresslves. form a
new party will not materialize, for
the reason. that there are two kinds
of "progressives." There are the
crazy progressives, and the sane
progressiyes, and it would be i'm
possible to unite them under one
leadership as they do not progress
at the same rate Of speed. The
extremists, the crazy kind, would
want to control the new party and
would refuse to accept the will of
the majority, arrogating to them
selves more wisdom than the whole,
and the sane progressives are sat
isfed to abide their time and
achieve needed reforms within
their party. The trouble would be,
that it would be impossible to
flock independent thinkers into
a cohesive body for united action.

s'The Little Gray Lady," at the Chest
nut Street Theatre, Philadelphia, this
week, is one of the best works of Chan
ming Pollock, and deals with national life
in Washington, d. c. 1t is often referred
to as the play without hero, but after
seeing this play and watching the worthless
character of Perriton Carlyle evolve into
a manly man and a soul with highest
ideas, we are inclined to believe it story
with a hero and heroine, and fully un-
derstand the meaning of Arthur Symons'
words, ga man made weak by loving and
then strong by being loved" In THE
Little Gray Lady, most of the characters
are employees of the treasury and other
departments at Washington, which gives
us an insight into the much-talked-of
national system. But the comical is
brought into play to great advantage in
two of the acts, in the backyard of Mrs.
Jordan's boarding house. A typical back
ward. with the man of the house, who by
the way, is not very fond of work and
who has dreams of getting rich quick on
his inventions, or in hopes of becoming a
coal magnate, if some one would only find
coal on his farm; then we encounter the
small boy, who must be handled with kid
gloves or life is not worth living, because
of his mischievous pranks, and even the
tom-cat to make it real yard. In fact,
we have before us characters of every
type, to one who has ever experienced
the trials and tribulations of living in a
clearinghouse of that standard.
