The Faxette County Fair.

The Fayette County Fair at West
Union, one of the best attractions of
the kind in the state, is going to pull
off something new this year, a night
fair Wednesday and Thursday evenings
This will give those who are unable to
attend during the day an opportunity
to see the big show at night. Auto
mobile people want some place to go in
the evening, and this will give them a
great place to congregate, and see
real lively for few hours.
Secretary McIlree informs US that
there will be great doings at the fair
this year and wants you to look out for
the big bills.

Iohn McC Cook for Judge.

Prominent democrats in this district
are urging John McCook of Cresco to
accept nomination for judge to fill
the place made vacant by the..death 'of
Judge Fellows. This is a wise move.
The judiciary should be entirely remov-
ed from politics. Mr.. McCook is an
able lawyer, sincere and upright and
would make an admirable Judge. There
could be 4 good many worse things
happen than having John on the bench.
If he accepts the nomination we will
personally guarantee him one republi-
can vote. -Decorah Republican.

The smooth shaved Nttle man, who
is to be the watchdog Of the Wilson

asked for vital statistics, whereupon
1t was learned at first hand that he is
a banker and ex-mayor Of st. Louis,
is flfty-six years old, was graduated at
Princeton in 1876, or three years be.
fore Governor Wilson was graduated; {;
that he has two sons who are Prince
ton men and grandson who some
day will be Princeton man; that he
had no notion Of seeing New York
this summer until the Wilson organi.
zation selected him as its treasurer
and that just at present the one thing
that sticks out in the appointment IN
his mind is that the new job cut in se
riously upon a most beautiful vacation
which he and Mrs Wells had been en-
joying in a camp at Little Traverse
bay. Michigan.
Mr.. Wells believes in getting at his
desk at o'clock in the morning.
1--WE are going to raise our cam
paign fund through the small contribu

II am sure that large part Of the
money will be raised by popular sub
scription.
1.-THE people have confidence IN
Woodrow Wilson. and they will give
what they can Of their means to elec,
such man president.
II am a great believer in publishing
broadcast, before and after election

There are men who can we'll AFFORD
to give the committee $1,000, but ]
want to assure the public that we are
not going to have any tainted money

cinct committeeman of the End Super
visor district held at Lourdes last Mon
day afternoon, J. w. Conway of Elma
was chosen to fill the vacancy made
in the primary election for the Office
of supervisor from that district. We
believe that Mr.. Conway will be

question of his competency for the
office.
w. A. Smith, of Nashua, Iowa, was
in Cresco Wednesday, in the interests
of mis- candidacy for the republican
nomination for the judgeship in this
judicial district, to succeed L. E. Eel
lows, in opposition to w. J. Springer.
who is now filling the vacancy by ap-
pointment of Gov. Carroll. Mr.. Smith
is quite confident of the endorsement
OF his county. and we understand he
say that if he does not do so, that he
will withdraw as candidate.
Judge Fellows successor is Hon. w.
j. Springer, New Hampton attorney,
who was appointed by Gov. Carroll last
week. He is about 65 years of age
and is long time resident of New
Hampton. 1t is predicted he will have
opposition in case he seeks a nomina-
tion for election this fall by Attorney
Smith of his home county, Mr.. Spring
er being an ardent standpatter and
Mr.. Smith is progressive republican.
The district was about 1900 republican
two years ago but Hon. D. d. Murphy
had close to 1000 majority in the six
counties over Congressman Haugen.
The prospects are good for the eleva-
tion of some one Of the capable demo-
cratic attorneys of the district to the
position when election time comes
