Ashland, Wis.

To the Voters of the 18th Sena.
torial District
| desire to call your attention to
my candidacy for the State Senate,
and at the same time briefly state
my position on the questions which
seem TO be of most Importance to
the people of this district.
First. | will favor any reasonable
legislation which might aid in the
development of the agricultural re-
sources and encourage the settle
ment of our farm lands.
l believe that in principle the
Income Tax Law is right, but like
all new acts needs amending so as to
bring it to higher state of perfec-
tion. Then should the now apparent
antagonism still exist, submit the
question OF taxing income to the
people. for their decision as to
whether it shall be retained or not.
| will favor further legislation for
the safety of our laboring classes, at
the same time keeping in mind the
interests of the employef-always
realizing that what is to the best
interest of the employer, also aids
The employee.
Will vote for only such laws as are
capable Of enforcement and do not
believe in encumbering the statutes
with useless legislation. / believe
in a careful expenditure of public
funds and in curtailing the ever in !.
creasing expense of the government,
without h'ndering the development
of our state. Iis3
Respectfully Submitted,
"A. Pearce Tomkins.

DIDN'T LIKE IR|SH'S ACTION
In Releasing Polish Prison
ers Held on q Federal
War;:

w. FL. Irish Of WaslburI. Wis
probate judge'of Bay field county,
! is in bad with the United States
i'm migration authorities who are
now preparing to proceed a
galnst him for his alleged mis-
Judgment in trying a federal
case over which his court had
no Jurisdiction.
The trouble grew out OF the
arrest Of Miss Justa Jaunewicz.
19 years old, and Todasa jaime
wicz, 30 years old, her uncle, by
I'm migration Inspector DAILY of
Duluth, the charge against the
first named prisoner being that
she was an immoral person, and
that against the man being that
he brought her to the United
States for immoral purposes.
The couple were arrested at
Washburn on August Bird. un-
der the authority of a warrant
from the department Of com
m9rce and labor and locked up
in the Bayfield, county jail. On
August 18th the secretary of the
department. wired to the jailor
at Washburn to release the pri-
soners and he was informed that
they had been given their free
dom through habeas corpus pro.
ceedings before Judge Irish, on
Aug. 9th.
Com menting on this action of
Judge Irish, Brown Mcdonald,
local i'm migration officer, advis-
ing his superior at Montreal of
the case. says:
There it is! A little country
probate Judge, without notice of
any kind to this Office, releases
a man charged with a felony un-
der the United States statutes,
and woman accused of being
prostitute.
"Mr. Irish overrules the Unit.
ed States Supreme court,
nullify's an act of Congress and
usurps the sole and exclusive
right of the secretary of com
merceand labor in settling this
whole matter, by allowing the
aliens their liberty.
"To my personal knowledge
this is the first time that any.
thing like this has ever hap
pened and am wondering what
view you and the department
will take of it. The prisoners
wei e not held on a state charge
and this man Irish had absolute
ly no more right to turn them
loose then he would to sentence
a man to life Imprisonment in
the Wisconsin state penitentiary,

81 think something ought to
be done about this matter in
order that it may not occur a.
gain at some future time when
we may have aliens in jail whom
We want to deport. With your
permission / will write to the
United States district attorney
