Whittet to Seek Nomination of State
Senator.

OOh0GOAs
At conference of the republicans of
the 22d senatorial district, comprising
the counties of Rock and Walworth,
held at GAINESVILLE Monday, Hon. L. G.
Whittet wrs named nearly unanimously
as the choice for the senate. Arrange
ments were made for circulating his
nomination papers in all the precincts
of the district. The resolutions adopted
by the conference were as follows:
We declare our adherence to the ma
tional republican party and ratify the
platform of the party adopted at it's
last national convention in Chicago.
We also pledge our hearty and I'M
qualified support to the national repub-
lican candidates for president and vice
president
We are interested in the development
and prosperity of our state and we
favor a businesslike, economical and
efficient administration Of state gov
eminent with fewer commissions and
officers maintained at the public ex-
pense. We do not approve of the pres
ent unnecessary and oppressive income
tax that discriminates against Wiscon-
sin industries and Wisconsin capital.
We are friends of the university and
of liberal education, but we object to
the partisan activity in politics of the
university or any other public institu-
ton which is supported by taxes levied
on all citizens.
Mr.. Whittet needs no introduction to
the readers of this paper. His record
as popular and successful business
man of Edgerton as well as member
of the assembly in 19O9-10, where he
held important committee assignments,
places him in a position to know the
needs of his district in the line of safe,
sane and conservative legislation. For
these reasons his candidacy ought to
appeal to every republican who believes
there is need of more economical state
administration and a relief from the
ever increasing taxation saddled upon
US by the politicians in control the last
few years.
Mayor Cunningham and Judge c. D.
Rosa of Beloit and Atty. L. E. Gettle
of this city are also announced candi-
dates for the same position before the
primary and an interesting campaign
may be looked for.

shows that South Dakotlns are
taxing Il laudable interest in the
cause of education, and are quite
wiling to send their young people
to home institutions. Perhaps no
state IN the union, in proportion
to population, has so many colleges
normal schools and other educa-
tloual institutions above the rank
OF higa school, as South Dakota.
With the state university, the
state college at Brookings, the
state school Of mines, the school
FOR deaf muteS and four normal
schools, the state has been liberal
In providing for the educational
necessities of its young people.
The denominations have been
equally active, and there is a Meth
odlst university at Mitchell, a col
leGe at lankton, another at Huron
and still another at Sioux Falls.
and numerous academies scattered
over the state which afford educa-
tlonal advantages equal to the best
offered by older and more popul-
Gus states.
South Dakotans have every rea-
son to feel proud Of the standing
of the state educationaily, and the
fact that so many of the younger
generation are taking advantage Of
the opportunities offered them is
an encouraging feature. Aber-
