COURT UPHClOS DECISION
OF BOARD OF CANVASSERS.

The supreme court Tuesday in effect
sustained the title of T. F. Konop,
Democratic candidate for congress in
the Ninth Wisconsin district. The
decision came in the action brought by
Gustav Kuestermann, the Republican
candidate and present congressman
from that district, to overthrow the
findings of the state board of canvas
sers which counted majority for the
Democratic candidate on the result OF
the baIloting as returned to the state
canvassing board.
In this case Kuestermann claimed
that the board should have awarded
him the election certificate on the face
of the returns instead of to konop
The whole contest turned on a singular
complication arising on the returns
from Oconto county. The certificate of
the county board of canvassers of that
county stated that Konop received
1,450 votes in the county. If he did, it
is admitted that he had a majority of
one in the district; but the tabulated
statement which is attached to the
certificate and is made by law part
of it, showing the votes cast in each
precinct, showed l6 votes for Konop all
cast in the first precinct of the town
of Pensaukee. If this was the correct
vote in that precinct, then konop had
only ], ,444 votes in the county and such
was the first footing at the bottom OF
the column; but opposite the number
16 was written notation as follows,
"22 shown on the tally sheet, inspec-
tors statement shows 16," and under
the first footing of l ,444 six had been
added, making the total of ,45O.
Kuestermann claimed that no atten-
tion could be paid by the canvassing
board or by the court to the memor-
andum but that the figures 10 in the
regular colum must control, and hence
that on the face of the returns it must
be held that only 1,444 votes were cast
for Konop in Oconto county and in that
case Kuesterman was elected by a ma
jority of five votes.
The state canvassers held that they
must be controlled by the certificate,
which stated that konop received l,t5O
votes, and awarded the certificate to
him. In this case Kuesterman con-
tended that the supreme court should
compel the board to re-assemble and
declare Kuc~ termann elected. and is
sue a certificate to him.
In the decision handed down the su-
preme court overruled the demurrer
to the returns of the state board of
canvassers, which means that it holds
that the decision of the board is right
on the face of the returns, and must
stand. The contest will now 60 to the
house of representatives.

BILLS THIS YEAR.

The legislature this year will have a
bigger grist of bills to grind than the
one of two years ago At the last ses-
sion there were: Bills, 1884.
But that was the total record at the
end of the session; up to Monday even
ing there had been introduced: Bills,
1904.
This is 80 less than the total number
two years ago, but during all the next
three months bills will come strag-
CLING into both houses, through the com
mittees or by special dispensation. OF
these there will be go or 50 or more
There always are; so that the present
excess Of 80 in favor of the last session
will be overcome, and at the end, the
excess for this year probably will be 30

preme court Of the United States was
this.
That q passenger has no right to buy
tickets with services, advertising, re-
leases, nor property, nor can q railroad
company buy services, advertising, re-

A contract between the 50 called
Monon>routc and the Frank A. Munsey
company gave rise to the case. BY
the terms OF the contract, the Monon

Munscy's magazine in exchange for
$500 worth of transportation.
The government claimed that this
was in violation Of the Hepburn rate

AS many teachers as possibly can
should attend the above institute, es-
pecially those living in the southern
part of the county. Although this
meeting is more convenient for She
boygan and Calument counties, the
teachers of Mantowoc county should
turn out in sufficient numbers 50 as to
uphold the educational prestige we
possess. Mr.. Book who conducted an

Offering the above reward as an in

In line with it's fight to oppose Spring
shooting the Game and Fish Protec-
to be sent to each legislator at Madi-
son setting forth the reasons why
spring shooting should be prevented.
In enumerating the arguments against
Spring shooting the letter says in part:
Spring is the mating season for
ducks and many varities mate in Wis
consin. Fourteen varities OF wild duck
would nest and raise their young in
this state if permitted to do SO. If
one is killed after mating its mate
will not secure another mate that
year and eight to sixteen birds are
sacrificed by the killing of one. Dur
ing the mating season ducks will de-
coy very easily and a whole flock can
be killed with ease and with no re-
quirement of skill. No true sports
man enjoy hunting under such con-
ditions.
"The spring duck cannot furnish an
argument for food. 1t has very little
meat after its long flight north and
what there is of meat has very little
flavor.
"Since the enactment of our law
prohibiting spring shooting ducks are
far more plentiful in Wisconsin. The
place of propagation and experience in
stinctively call the fowl to the place
where they can exist in security.
Ducks use the same fiyway in their
journey south, when they are fat and
are good eating, that they used in the
spring in coming north, thus improved
shooting is experienced by Wiscon-
sin sportsmen.
THE argument that other juris-
dictions permit spring shooting is no
argument at all, it is a mere palla-
tion of wrong. All authorities agree
that the duck stops to hatch its young
OF Wisconsin, from east to west, and
on line running through the middle
from there north into Canada, the To-
cation depending on the species of
duck. 1t is further conceded that in
its flight north the duck hardly stops
its flight until it reaches its breeding
ground. The States to the South of
us are not breeding States for ducks
and while the killing there in the
spring is wrong in principle, still they
get but a few days opportunity for
committing mischief. The killing in
Wisconsin, breeding State would do
more damage. Thousands of birds
would be killed and prevented from
mating and Matching their young.

The Union, though not yet dissolved,
is seriously impaired. Six States have
passed ordinances of dissolution and as
sumed an armed attitude of defiance.
Nine other States are undergoing an
agitation which threatens that they
will assume the same attitude The
Republican administration to come in
on the 4th of March, will be an adj
ministration, like all that have gone
before it, for all the thirty-four States
under the federal constitution, or else
it must be the first administration of a
discovered part of the Union. If the
Union is to be preserved as it is, and
restored to the necessary harmony,
"Nheh0dy must do it This muse be
the work either of the Republican
party or its adversaries. If the Re-
publican party and the Republican adj
ministration assume and perform the
duty, they will save themselves while
they are saving the country. II tneE
refuse to do it, their adversaries will
be the party of the country, and will
claim the advantages of that position.
1t would seem that nobody could
hesitate upon so plain question, eX-
cept those in the North and South,
who, for adverse reasons, desire or at
least are prepared to consent to nation
al dissolution.
What kind Of national adminstra-
ton would that be which should taxi
upon itself the government of the
country in such a crisis against the a
vowed opposition of all in the South
who are in favor of disunion, combined
with the opposition of all the North
and South who are in favor of main
tanning the Union.
