BRYAN GAINS

Sentiment Growing That He

After Twenty Years in Public

grow in favor of having William Jen-
nings Bryan lead. tor the fourth time

Progressive Cause, Says
Wisconsin Senator
SPENT ENORMOUS SUMS
And Spoils Progressive Move
ment in Republican Party
to Crafty Ambition
SPENT ENORMOUS SUMS

Senator Robert NJ LaFollette of
Wisconsin has written the following
editorial in the current number of
I.aFollettes Weekly:
Until Roosevelt came into the open
as candidate for the presidency five
months ago, there was a strong and
rapidly growing progressive move
ment within the republican party. 1t
was based upon clearly defined prin-
ciples. 1t stood forth as the repre-
sentative of modern political thought
on fundamental democracy. 1t had
assumed national proportions. 1t was
united.
Into this movement, when it gave
promise of national success, ROOse-
welt projected his ambition to be
President a third time He spent
weeks carefully planning 'spontane-

by announcing that he would be
receptive candidate. His candidacy
began to drag. He and his friends
were then in despair. Then came his
defeat in North Dakota. He became

In the history of American politics
there never has been in a preliminary

lion an approach to the eXtravagant
expenditures made in his campaign.
Men notoriously identified with the

and political bosses of the Hanna and

friends and representatives in many
states.

Land by Deputy Assessor, on Alleged Mis-
information of C0mpany'S Tax Agent
TAXPAYERS LEAGUE BECOMES A NECESSITY
Returns of Field Deputy Are Changed in Office
of the Assessor by Deputy at the beheSt
of Tax AGENT Marshall

For more than twenty years the
average taxpayer of Chehalis county
has been forced to pay more than his
fair proportion of the costs of state
and county government through the
dodging of their just dues b. owners
of large properties. In this tax dodg-
ing the money loss was not all the
damage. To preserve this immunity
from their fair share of the burden
of taxation, these concerns We're OBJ
liged to enter the political arena,
with the result that the will OF the
people was thwarted, elections de-
bauched and extravaganza ran riot.
1t is not so many years since a gov
ernor of the state was nominated in
the private car of a railroad magnate
at Tacoma, while the republican state
convention remained in session until
the will of this magnate was made
known.
The Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany was the chief offender in this
county until the creation of the
state tax commission took the tax
alton Ct railroads from the county
authorities. BY that time, and for
years before, the Weyerhaueser Tim
her company is generally believed 70
have adopted similar methods. and
it may be said, not altogether with
out success. This company is credit
ed right or wrong, with having
thwarted the desire of the people to
have their timber cruised in this
county for more than ten years, and,
now that the cruise is accomplish,
ed, a deep seated suspicion exists
that this concern is receiving unlaW'
full favors not accorded to the aver
age taxpayer. So firm is this con
yiction in some quarters, that the
fear is expressed that the $4,000
paid for the cruise will prove but
an added burden to the very people
east able to bear it, and who demand

Bryan Deserts Clark.
Yesterdays long session of the de-
mOcratic national convention was q
terrific tug-of-war between Wilson and
Clark, with all of the other can-
didates hanging on for dear life, and
hoping that the deadlock may force
the recognition of some one of them.
The feature of the day was the,
action of William Jennings Bryan In.
rising in his place in the Nebraska
delegation when the fourteenth bal
lot was reached and declaring that
he would not vote for Speaker Champ
Clark as long as New York, under the
direction Of Tammany Leader Charles
F. Murphy, was casting it's votes for
the speaker.

ballot in question to Wilson and has
since continued voting for him.

THE DAY OF The INDIVIDUAL
TRUSTEE HAS DEPARTED.

The reasons that lead men of large
affairs co name trust companies rather
than individuals, as their executors
and trustees, are easy to see. 1t is
not wholly question of trustworthi-
ness. There are men in whose hands
money would be as safe today, as in
the care of any trust company or
bank. Today, yes;-but what of to-
morrow? A few years ago there died
= New England city an individual
Who controlled six large estates as
executor or trustee. He was impec-
cably honest and extraordinarily able.
But it developed, after his death,
that for two years previously he had
been mentally unbalanced and un-
known 10 anyone save his wife. His
bondsmen are still trying to unravel
his accounts.
One great advantage that the trust
company has over the individual is its
permaneacy aud stability. 1t cannot
run away ard does not becon.a i'll or
die.
This company is authorized by law

COLISEUM TO BE GARAGE.

There will be no more roller skat-

March 1st, for after that date the
Coliseum will cease TO exist. A deal
was closed last week whereby t. H.
Jacobs, agent for several well known
automobile manufacturers, came into
possession of the above mentioned
building. Morgan Bros, the former
proprietors, will turn over the prop
erty about March 1St, and the same
will then be used for the housing of
automobiles. Mr. Jacobs will remodel
the building to suit its new purpose,
a large and up-to-date
storeage, as well as a first class ma
chine shop, to enable him to make all
necessary repairs on any kind of an
automobile. 1t is expected that the
automobile business in Wausau and
vicinity will be enormous this coming
season.

DIRECTORS OF AGRIc ULTURAL
SOCIETY MEET.

A meeting of the board of directors
of the Marathon County Agricultural
society was held at the Wausau club
house last Friday afternoon, at which
DR.. u. a. Mills was elected temper
airy secretary of the association, to
conform with the law, which de-
mands that secretary be elected
within thirty days after the annual
meeting. A permanent secretary,
who will have charge Of the work
connected with the next fair, will be
elected at some future meeting of
the directors, to be held on a call of
President G. A. Barwig.
A resolution was adopted, protest
ing to the board of directors of the
state fair against changing the time
of holding that institution. 1t has
been reported that the state fair this
year would be held one week earlier,
bringing it within the first week of
September. Such change of time
would seriously conflict with the Gus
toms of holding our fair and other
county fairs in this section of the
state, as the best exhibits at these
usually were sent to the state exhibit
tion, and formed the principal attrac-
tions of the agricultural exhibits
there. Now, if the state fair would
be held in the first week of Septem-
ber ours would have to be held
in the last week of August, time
when farm and garden products have
not yet ripened in this section. Thus
our county would be robbed of the
opportunity of showing to the people
of the state what can be raised on its
soil The matter was also taken up
with A. w. Prehn, one of the state
fair directors, and he was asked to do
his utmost to prevent the time of
holding the state fair from being
changed.

FOR COMMISSION PLAN.
Two More Wisconsin Cities Adopt Board
Rule, Jenesyille and Superior.

Janesyille and Superior, two of che
up-to-date cities of Wisconsin, voted
last Tuesday for the commission form
of government, and both won for the
plan, showing that the tax payers of
those cities were alive to their best
interests. Madison and Grand Rapids
are voting upon the question today.
The outcome of the contest in these
cities has been watched by our people
with great deal of interest A very
exciting campaign is now on in Fond
du Lac, Ashland, Sparta and Wausau.
Wausau will soon have its election.
Our people in the meantime should
become well posted. The main quest
ions are: Will it give us better
government? VIII it lessen our taxes
and will it make Wausau a more pro-
gressive city?
Eau Claire has demonstrated that
the salaries paid the commission can
be more than saved on street work
alone.
What the people of Wausau want is
better system of government that is
representative in the highest degree.
They want the lowest taxes consistent
with good government. They ought
and should get more for their money.
That the commission form abridges
anyone's rights or that it is in anyway
un-American, is all moOnshine. The
majority of voters, as heretofore, can
elect such men as they choose and it
is pity If men cannot be chosen who
stand high in executive ability and
have the full confidence of our people
1t stands to reason that such rIen,
giving their attention to the city's
affairs, can do much better work than
under the old aldermanic system.
