TUESDAY NEXT
ELEC
lick Tell of Officers to be Elect
ed and Nominated

% other sections of today's CENSOR
are given tabulated tickets of Informal
ton regarding officials to be elected
and nominated next Tuesday. Four
delegates at large to the respective
party national conventions are to be
elected, a proceeding never presented
in this manner before. Also two dis
trict congressional delegates TO the
same party meetings.
The city candidates are announced
also in this issue There is little or no
contest except or the question of license
or no-license That is the issue. 1t is
not of men, but principle. There is no
reason for bad blood or unneighborly
rancor or hot-headedness. If a man
believes that the licersing of saloons is
the proper thing he will so vote, it is
presumed. Ii he believes otherwise
that the evil of the liquor traffic should
be discouraged and discountenanced, he
will vote against re-establishing saloons
in Viroqua, as ?. natural sequance. AS
for the CENSox, 1t votes no.
On the ele stion of circuit Judge, the
CENSOR has found no reason to believe
that it is not for the best interests of
the public that Judge Higbee should
receive hearty endorsement for the
excellent services he has rendered in
the position.

The RECORDS HAVE BEAN FOUND

One week ago there was published an
article on the past license record of the
candidate who Tow declares he is for
majority rule. That article was
based on recollections of influential
cit;y ems and was in question form. Since
the writing of that article there have
been found sufficient records in the form
of council proceedings to substantiate
the statements as follows; That on
April z, 1898, the council met, can
vassed the vote and corrected" the
ballot; that on June 20, 1898, the coun-
ell met and considered the matter of
granting licenses; that the vote on that
occasion was a tie vote three to three;
that 'the mayor voting aye, the motion
was declared carried and application
granted. The mayor on that import
ant occasion was the present license
candidate, August j. Smith, (hard-
ware)
These records are published because
the previous article has been declared
to be maliciously untrue. They are not
published to .hjure any person 8 feelings
or character. A PERSONS record on pub
lie questions is always public property
because the public is most interested
There is nothing personal about it, and
we hope that we may not be misunder-
stood in this matter. We regret the
necessity of this publication, but it has
been forced upon us by the lack of
frankness on the part of the opposition.
We shall not stoop to small personal
attacks, such as are being used on the
etreet-a mans caliber can always be
known from the size of the bullet he
fires. Few people in Viroqua will be
influenced by 22-cahber lshort) argu-
ments. This is campaign Of principle,
and not of personalities; the men merely
represent their respective principles.

Notice TO Farmer

OF late there has been a g.eas deal
of misleading information circulating
among prospective silo builders 10 the
effect that the Beaver Silo Co., of Bea-
yer Dam, Wisconsin, would discontinue
the manufacture of silos in the future,
owing to certain patent difficulties.
1t is the object of this article, to inform
the public that the Beaver SiIo Co., has
proven itself independent and free from
all future infringement troubles and is
enjoying an ever increasing business
We, (the Beaver Slot Coz would very
much appreciate being Informed as TO
the source of these malicious reports,
but as yet have been unable to learn
just who inaugurated them. However.
every knock eventually proves boost"
and honest competition, quality and
price invariably cause Mr.. Knocker to
start his tale of woe. We wish to an
nounce that Mr.. w. w. Wiggington of
the Viroqua Creamery CO., will handle
the Beaver Silo in the future, and trust
prospective builders will investigate the
money saving price that Mr.. Wigginton
will make on a complete Beaver Silo
that is unsurpassed and seldom equaled

A Word About the Lecture Cours

A Word About the Lecture Course
The next number of the lecture and
entertainment course will be the Chi.
cago Glee Club. They will be here
Saturday night, March 80, and from all
reports it will be one of the best num-
bers presented here. This glee club
consists of four men who have been
singing and playing together for years;
in fact this will be their 3349th concert,
with the personnel of the company re-
naming unchanged. They are a fine
male quartette and each man plays
slide trombone. That will be quite a
novelty as well as a musical treat. In
addition one of the members is read
er and impersonator, SO the entertain.
ment will be varied enough for the most
exacting.
The two best numbers coming last in
the course makes it rather difficult to
sell season tickets, so in order for the
course to pay expenses this year it will
be necessary to sell good many extra
tickets for these last two concerts. If
a member Of the committee calls on you
this week give him hearing, and bet
ter still, a couple Of dollars.
The last number, April llth, will be
the Mendelssohn quartette, another con-
cert company of high class.
