WILSON is MODEST.

Governor Woodrow WTIson of
New Jersey, three hours after
his arrival in Minneapolis to-
day, met the twin city news
paper men and was interviewed.
Governor Wilson said: that he
has made it plain in New Jer-
sey that when he attacks the
republican party he means the
leaders of that party and not
its voters. That he believes in
party organization when it
holds men together on party
principles but that when the
party forsets its principles it
is time to leave the organiza-
ton. That he is in favor of
the Canadian reciprocity treaty.
Questioned regarding his atti-
tude toward the presidency, he
said: "No man could refuse
such a high honor but | would
regard it an immodesty to dis
cuss it,"

If the Madison County Fair isn't one
of the best shows of the season thi:
year, it will be no fault of the Directors,
who are bending every effort TO have
things in tip top shape when the gong
sounds for the first show ring. # takes
considerable more work than one thinks
to put through a successful fair and
those that bear the burden should be
encouraged in every way possible, more
especially though by good attendance
from the people Of the county.
There will be several good stables OF
horses, as all nearby fairs have been
visited this month and all owners have
signified their intention of coming to
compete for the big PRICES. Secretary
Crutcher has decided on the one-man
Judge, which has become so popular
in recent years, and has engaged Mr.
Preston w Ray Of Bowling Green, the
noted horseman and stock judge, to act
Mr.. Ray is well known all over the
country along this line and the fair
association is lucky to be able to get
him at this time, There will be
hundreds of entries to the poultry,
show which viii be the feature of the
1911 exhibition. This is the first year
unusual activity has prevailed in this
department, but poultry shows have be-
come so popular, that they are now
