BADGERS MEET
FOR HARMONY
REPUBLICANS REPRESENTING EN-
TIRE STATE GATHER AND PRO-
CLAIM THEMSELVES.
VICE PRESIDENT MAKES SPEECH
Dillon Opens Convention with Eloquent
Pleas for Harmony and Una
ninity of Work.
OLD ENTHUSIASM IS EXPRESSED.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, June O.
Thousands of enthusiastic, cheering
delegates and visitors, assembled in the
Auditorium greeted Emanuel L. Philip,
chairman of the arrangements commit
rec when he called to order the first
Republican convention held in Wisconsin
~ six years, at 2 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon.
Bach's orchestra had enlivened the oc-
casion with national airs and Miss Alma
Youlin with patriotic songs.
An enthusiastic cheer greeted Mr..
purposes of the convention. The dele
gates recognized the fact that it was
owing perhaps directly to Mr.. Philip
energy that the Taft convention came
into being.
Cries of "Philipp for senator" were
heard from different sections of the large
hall. to which Mr.. Philip replied with
bow and smile.
Mr. Philip called the convention to
order at 2:30.
The main hall was half filled with
delegates, several hundred visitors occu-
pied the reserved gallery section.
Secretary Edgar T. Wheelock read the
call for the convention, following which
the accredited delegates were announced.
Bray MADE chairman.
Assemblyman William NJ. Bray of
Oshkosh was appointed chairman OF the
resolutions committee and empowered to
select one member from each congress
sional district. This committee was in
structed to report at the Thursday fore
noon session.
The Dane county committee agreed
shortly before the convention was called,
to hold against nomination of either gov
ernor or United States senator.
On the stage a large canvas, with
President Taft's photograph on, was
suspended with the words, HE Leads
U.s."
The hall was decorated for the con-
vention. Flags and bunting ornamented
the sides and stage and huge palms gave
the appearance of large summer gar
den. The corps Of sergeants-at-arms
maintained order When Chairman Phil
ipp began his address there was silence.
After Chairman Dil1on's address COM
mittees on organization and resolutions
were appointed.
Session Is Harmonious.
Wednesday afternoons session stirred
Republicans by the fact that harmony
apparently was in sight. Halfbreeds
and StalWarts rubbed shoulders within
the delegate section and in the seats re-
served for visitors. The Milwaukee dele,
cation contained several men who, in the
recent past, were pronounced opponents
of insurgent theories.
Permanent organization was perfected
Immediately on the conclusion of Tenn
porary Chairman billions address.
Speaker L. II. Bancroft was chosen pre-
siding officer of the convention. His
speech was interspersed with timely
stories and pointed remarks directed at
opponents, not emitting the insurgents.

we all love-" Ex-Gov. w. D. Hoard was

ELEVEN SAVED WHEN
VESSEL is WRECKED
CAPTAIN, DAUGHTER AND CREW
THREE DAYS IN OPEN BOATS.
LIVE ON HARD BREAD AND WATER
DURING THAT TIME.

NORFOLK. Va, June 9.-After a
three days fight for life in two small
boats, $50 miles out in the Atlantic
ocean. Miss Elizabeth Ericsson, her
father. Capt. 2. A. Ericsson; nine men
composing the crew, two dogs and
cat. were rescued in the nick of time by
the British steamer A1etls after having
abandoned their barkentine, the Good
News of Philadelphia, are today safe on
land
Miss Ericsson, the heroine of the
wreck has gone to her home at Balti-
more while the cat has found a new
home on board the rescuing steamer,
where she will rid the ship of rats to
show her gratitude. She was presented
by Capt Ericsson to Capt. Rosie OF the
Nets. as u mementO of the occasion.
1t is a thrilling tale of the sea that
Capt. Ericsson and his crew tell. Struck
by a heavy storm, the Good News
sprang leak. All hands remaining con-
tlnually at the pumps failed to keep her
ahoat and at noon June 3, the ship was
abandoned in latitude 29.42 N. Long.
1926 w.
The captains daughter showed great
bravery and after the Good News went
to the bottom she cheered them. At
times it seemed as though the two little
boats would be swamped by the huge
waves. A sail was rugged and one boat
lowed the other. Little progress was
made, however, and there seemed no
hope. Three days and nights passed
slowly. Only a little hard bread and a
half gallon of water comprised the pro-
visions.
A sharp lookout was kept for the ap-
proach of passing vessel, but it was
not until Monday, June 6, that the Nets
hove in sight.

A DOCTORS EXPERIENCE.
Medicine Not Needed in This Case.

1t is hard to convince some people
that coffee does them an injury! They
lay their bad feelings to almost every
cause but the true and unsupported
one.
But the doctor knows. His wide ex-
perience has proven to him that, to
some systems, coffee is an insidious
poison that undermines the health.
Ask the doctor if coffee is the cause
of constipation, stomach and nervous
troubles.
Il have been a coffee drinker all
my life. 1 am now AZ years old and
when taken sick two years ago with
that my nervous system was broken
down and that I would have to give
up coffee.
Il got so weak and shaky l could
not work, and reading your advertise
ment of Postum, 1 asked my grocer If
he had any of it. He said, Yes and
that he used it in his family and it
was all it claimed to be-
so l quit coffee and commenced to
use Postum steadily and found in
about two weeks time I could sleep
soundly at night and get up in the
morning feeling fresh. In about two
months l began to gain flesh I weigh
ed only lac pounds when l commenced
on Postum and now l weigh 167 and
feel better than 1 did at 20 years of
age.
Il am working every day and sleep
we'll at night. My two children were
great coffee drinkers, but they have
not drank any since Postum came into
the house, and are far more healthy
than they were before"

haps greater interest than any of the
previous speakers, inasmuch as Mr..
Hoard himself had been allied with the
insurgents during the turbulent days OF
Wisconsin's political history. Gov.
Heard said he had supreme faith in the
great heart Of the Republican party and
a supreme filth in the honesty, ability
and patriotism of William Howard Taft.
Defends President Taft.
Any man, he said, who believes that
President Taft is a tool of the vested
interests finds that belief triumphantly
answered in the injunctiOns just taken
out against the railroad companies.
What more conclusive proof could any
man give that he stands for a square
deal, the former governor asked.
That party success was based upon
party organization was the theme OF
speech before the convention on Wednes-
day afternoon by w. d. Conner, former
lieutenant governor and former chair
man of the state central committee,
which was one of the features Of the
gathering.
Mr.. Conner took the stage only after
repeated calls and his appearance was
the signal for an uproar OF applause.
NJ. G.. Jeffris of GAINESVILLE aroused the
delegates to intense enthusiasm when he
exclaimed it was an inspiration to again
perceive a Republican convention in
Wisconsin.
James G. Monohan of Darlington
Joined in the Republican refrain with
stories and timely advice. He compared
the insurgents of today to the mug
wumps who defeated Blaine and Logan.
He agreed with Mr.. Jeffris sit was good
to be here and he expressed the fond
hope he would be privileged to attend
set many other Republican state conven-
tiOnS.

primarily on an examination of Japa
nese feet. The Japs run about at home
generally with naked feet, or at the mos
in light slippers. Their toes are de
yeloped in such way that they can be
used as fingers The toes can grasp and
entwine themselves around objects like
fingers. The Japs can pick up articles
from the ground with their toes. They
catch mice with their toes.
