A Paramount Issue.

The peculiar political conditions
existing in the republican ranks in
this state are liable to so shape them
selves that County Option may become
the paramount issue of the campaign.
William Mitchell Lewis is making his
strenuous campaign for the republi-
can nomination for Governor on a
strong outspoken County Option
platform, while Senator f. t. Fair
child and f. E. McGovern are both
opposed to County Option. With the
opposition divided on this question,
and the strong church influences
working TO further the cause of Coun-
ty Option, the campaign of Capt.
Lewis -materially aided by the lubri-
eating influences of well filled barrel
with an elastic bunghole TO
the onlooker to be winning one,
and should William Mitchell Lewis
be the nominee of tie republican
primary for Governor all other politi-
cal issues will be subordinated to
this county option question. Then
with Adolph j. Schmitz as the demo-
cIstic candidate for Governor there
will be little question as to the result
of the election in November.

A Real Democratic Candidate.


Congressman Charles H. Weisse de-
elines denomination in the Sixth
District and has announced his can
didacy for the Democratic nomina-
tion for United States Senator at the
coming primaries. This is cheerful
and welcome news and assures to the
democratic voters and Independents a
real live candidate with record of
achievements and one who can be
supported with the conviction that
all Of his proven ability will be de-
voted to practical progressive legisla-
ton in the interest of all the people,
and not to playing politics for the at
tainment of personal selfish ends. A
native of Wisconsin, a successful bust
ness man and large employer who
has gained the loyalty and confidence
of his employees, hard working
member Of congress during four terms,
achieving high standing among the
members of his party and the respect
of the opposition because of his ster-
ling integrity and clear thinking and
right acting, Charles II. Weisse is
just the candidate the party now re-
quires for an aggressive and successful
campaign.

Marathon county would have no
difficulty in furnishing big and cap
able men for every Office on the state
ticket of both parties, and they pos
sess that admirable quality of the
right kind CT candidates are
not looking for office, they have bust
ness of their own and it is only their
deep sense of public duty that per-
mits them to be drafted for public
service. All this is again emphasized
by the willingness of the Hon. John
Ringle TO answer the call for duty in.
becoming candidate for State Treas
urer; no better selection could have
been made when for business and
private reasons Mr.. E. G. thinner
man found it necessary to decline to
become a candidate for that Office.
The name of John Ringle has for so
many years stood for everything that
is clean, straight and honest, that
naturally the democrats here turned
to him as one man when it became
necessary to make good their assur-
ances to the democrats of the state
that Marathon county could furnish
the ideal candidate for State Treasur-
er, and they knew, too, that when the
matter was placed right up to him as
matter of public duty, John Ringle
would not fail them, for he had never
yet failed to answer q call for duty
and do service. John Ringle is reli-
able and inspires confidence; as a
lawyer, business man and banker he
has gained well deserved respect and
success and his name will add great
strength to the ticket.

VIII Make the Run.

For some time past the democrats
OF this section have been urging John
+. Lamont to make the run for con-
gress in this district. John has been
sitting the matter over in his mind,
and has finally decided to peel his
coat and wade into the mess of stall
warts and halfbreeds. He arrived at
this decision last night and has
authorized us to make this statement.
With John on the ticket there will
be something doin' in this next cam
paign. John has gone through good
many political scrimmages and his
banners never yet have beer trailed
in the dust of defeat. He is one of
the strongest campaigners in this
district.
He is a young man and full of vigor
just such men as we need in our
national body. Furthermore, he has
backbone no jellyfish about our John.
He is not professional politician or a
self-seeking after office.
Take this from us: There's going
to be a fight in this Tenth district
this fall, the result of which will
open the eyes of those republicans
who are not onto inside information.
1t matters not whether it is Half
breed Morse or Stalwart Hambrecht
whom the repubicansnominate, either
is going to have his hide hung on the
political fence.
John says he's going to enter the
fight to win, and win he will.
At the Wood county convention
held last week, Mr. Lamonts name
was recommended for the nomination.

HON. CAS H. WEISSE Candidate for United States Senator

bring out large vote, but in the state
at large the conditions are different.
Until Mr.. Weisse announced that he
would be a candidate for United
States senator not a contest was as
sured which would guarantee to
democracy heavy vote throughout
the state of Wisconsin. A campaign
of this nature, extending to all por-
lions of the state, means great deal
to a man in business for he must
sacrifice in order to enter the field.
Believing that the democratic party
is the one closest to the people, and
which will eventually grant them re-
lief from the burdens of protective
tariff, if relief is TO come at all, he
enters this campaign to encourage, to
wage fight. Those who have fol-
lowed the career of Congressman
WeiSse realize that he is a good cam
paigner, one of the best in the state,
and all candidates receiving his sup
portland none but the deserving do
profit by his energy and ability in
that line. He has been and is, a con-
slant surprise to everyone who has
followed his career, and it has been a I
pleasing and gratifying surprise to his
supporters. No one can deny his |
power. not only as politician but as
a statesman. and he is eminently more

Mr.. Weisse. in his congressional
campaign, received in 1902 1891 (

he carried his district by 1884, and
1905 by 7,133. President Taft in the
same district carried the district by
500. Mr.. Weisse was a delegate to the
conventions in Kansas

| he would make the run, but has had
the matter under consideration ever
since. At last, for business reasons,
he has decided that he will not be a
candidate and has so informed the
state central committee. His friends
realize that he would have made a
strong candidate, for he is well known
throughout the state. His interests
here are many and cannot be neglect
ed and for that reason he has decided
to pass the candidacy to someone
else.
AS soon as his friends were made
aware of his determination, they decid-
ed upon John Ringle, ST., as successor
on the ticket. This met the approval
of the state central committee, and
Mr.. Ringle will have no opposition at
the primaries, and will enter into the
campaign with yigor.
Everybody in this section knows
John Ringle and it is hardly necessary
for us to say anything in his behalf.
He, too, has a large acquaintance
ship throughout the state and he will
add strength to the democratic tick
ct.
Mr.. Ringle was born in Dodge
county nearly fifty-two years ago and
has been a resident of Wausau since
1859. His first public Office was that
of city clerk, to which he was elected
in 1872. He has been elected super
visor of his ward at various times and
was chairman of the county board for
several years. He has served in the
state legislature, and during President
Clevelands last administration he
was postmaster of this city. He has
always been party worker.
Mr. Ringle is at present vice presi-
dent of the First National bank of
this city, and principal stakeholder in
the John Ringle Brick Co. He is al
successful business man and man
well qualified to handle large inter-
ests.
Popular at home and outside the
county, Mr.. Ringle will draw and
strengthen his party's already strong
ticket, and we hope and expect to
see him elected He will certainly
get strong endorsement from Mara
thon county citizens.

force. Never in all of the history
of his business career has Mr.. Weisse
experienced labor troubles and when
panlcs have been on it could always
be said TO his credit that the wheels
had been kept going, pay day never
missed and the men given their full
pay in cash. This is the business
record of Mr.. Weisse and his pnhlic
record is just as good champion of
the people, and always on the square
and for square deal'' to the masses.
His father came to this country from
Germany and founded the business in
1856, which has grown with rapid
strides. The present congressman re-
ceiyed his early schooling in the VII
lage of Sheboygan Falls and later at
tended a private Lutheran school.

fifteen years of age to take charge of
the books When he took over the
business at his fathers death he was
familiar with every branch. The men
in his employ believe in him and a
visit TO Sheboygan Falls will con-
vince any person that Mr.. WeisSe is a
friend of the laborer His success in
the tannery business has been due to
the fact that he gives each depart
ment his personal attention, the
same is true in his public life. He is
on the ground doing active work,
looking after the welfare of those in
his district, and for that matter in
the nation. His stand on the tariff.
railroad and other important cues
lions are too well known for argu-
ment. He has opposed every tariff
measure introduced in congress dur
ing the period he has been there. and
not alone did he vote against the pres
ent tariff law, but entered a vigorous
protest in a debate against the
Aldrich-Payne tariff bill that stands
as one OF the best and ablest deliv-
cred against the unjust law. His
speeches delivered on the post Office
department and against the unwise
expenditures and extravaganza of the
administration were considered by
Champ Clark, the minority leader, as
among the best delivered in congress.
Mr.. WeiSSe has won his way into the
hearts of the old soldiers by his
championing of their cause, and as a
member of the pension committee
took an active part and was largely
instrumental in securing the passage
of the two laws which have been the
means oil increasing their pensions.
lie has given personal attention to
every request from needy and deSery-
ing soldiers and as q result not a one
has failed of passage under the special
act. He has been ready and willing
at all times to assist the soldiers in

said many times "the right kind of

Same Old Euncombe Bob.

The same old war cry and the same
old sign of distress are found in the
LaFollette literature now being circu-
lated in this state in the hope of in
fuencing voters to rally for death in
the last ditch:
:" DO you knolo that the railroads and
their political servants are organizing
and distributing money throughout the
state to cause LdFollette's defeat ~
No, Bob, we didn't know that, nor
do we believe it any more now than
we did when this same assertion was
made every time you wanted an Office
and hold on before, but while we do
not approve of the lavish use of money
in political campaigns any more than
we did the employment by you of an
organized game warden's department
in the pay of the state for political
services to the detriment of the
states interests and at the expense of
the taxpayers, still if the railroads
have got any money to spend for the
benefit OF long-suffering public there
are few ways more direct for gaining
public favor than to lend their aid in
so worthy a cause as the helping in
the defeat of the man who has spent
all his time in tearing down others to
build himself up and whose speciality
has been sowing dissention and pro-
noting factional strife. It's going to
be hard winter for the boys, Bob.
and the summer has been long and
hot and dry, 50 suppose for once you
make good and tell them where the
tong green is being passed out; they
have heard about it SO long and so
often they'd like look an at the real
thing. Honest, Bob, this is your
chance to reduce the high cost of liv-
ing to many of the faithful if you'll
only make good this once by naming the
time and the place.
Here is another war cry addressed
to Gods patient poor
"Do you knOo that they haze an
aOunced their intention to carry the fqht
against Lo Toilette into the Legislature
G1sd ignore the ,oitt Of the people at the
Primary."
Sure, Bob, that's what they ought
to do; they have had your own exam
pie in Ignoring the results of the pri-
mary except when it goes your own
way-and any ether way is always to
your mind an indication of corruption,
fraud and chicanery. You and your
McGoverns and Ekerns have taught
the people a few lessons about the
primary law they will not soon forget
and they will no doubt be ready to
approve just that kind of a thing to
wipe few of the self-appointed holier-
than-thou apostles of reform off the
political map of Wisconsin.
Frankly, Bob, there are too many
people who are convinced that you
have cried "aoolf' too often-it will be
little more difficult to bunco them
again-and they have about made up
their minds what they are going to do
