This Years Program Is an
Elaborate One.
OPENING DAY entertainment
Appearance Of the Jess Pugh Company,
Trio of Real Artists-Cartoon
Lecture by George {. Col
by-Other Features.

The Fifth Annual Session Of the
Platteville Chautauqua will be held
July 1928 at the Camp Grounds in that
city. The program is without doubt
the strongest ever offered at that chau-
tauqua. This is saying a great deal
when we consider the very excellent
programs that have been given. The
morning hours will be given over to
Bible and Sunday School lectures. An
eating house and stand on the grounds
will add to the comfort and convent
ence Of all who attend. A post card
addressed to F. E. Bauchop, Platte
vile, Wis, will bring you full informa-
ton in regard to tents and all ar
rangements.
The opening number of the Chau-
tauqua will be given by the Jess Pugh
company, trio of real artists The
program will consist of baritone solos,
soprano solos, vocal duets. dramatic
readings, piano numbers, violin solos
and ensemble numbers. George E.
Colby Will give a cartoon lecture.
Through years of splendid training and
experience before the public he has
perfected a most remarkable talent as
a cartoonist and will give a unique and
interesting entertainment. Mrs Leon
ora M. Lake will lecture Sunday after
noon, July p. She is one of the great
women of our country and is called by
those who know her best Mother
Lake." She has lectured at the Chau-
tauqua before and will be welcomed by
a large crowd Of friends. Ralph Par
cite, editor of the Lyceumite and Tai
ent, the Charles Lamb OF the Ly-
ceum" will lecture twice. He is a re-
markable example Of a writer who is
also a speaker. He fills about 200 en-
gagements year and last year forty
per cent of them were return dates. He
must be all right to hold that kind of
record.

sonal gossip, .;.nG do not want their high public officials to let mere politi- cal expediency govern matters of heart or conscience. But there is another in- depreciation that does more credit to Governor Wilson. It is that when he made his reply to Colonel Harvey he had, as he later. explained in one of his letters, no desire that the Weekly should cease to support him, but that he failed to realize what effect blunt answer to a question of fact would have upon a sensitive and admiring friend. This, 1t seems to us, is the more charitable interpretation. as it more clearly accords with the state ments in the correspondence. If it pre- in public estimation in the category of public men, like former Governor Hughes, who are so earnest in the statement of facts and the discussion of public questions that they tend to minimize the importance of personal relationship in political affairs
 In an article of the same date of Governor Wilson's candidacy the Out look says: 'aThe most talked about and apparently the strongest Demo cratic candidate is Governor Wilson of New Jersey. Intellectually Dr. Wilson is called the best equipped Democratic leader since Tilden's day. A man like Woodrow Wilson appeals to voters in- dependent of party, and we may re- member that the independent voter is growing in quantity and quality"

Large Demand For Tickets To
 Dollar Dinner

The idea of having a big dinner as a closing feature of the Democratic state convention. has appealed so strongly to party members in the state, that it looks very much as though there would not be sufficient room to accommodate all of those in- tending to be on hand. In antIcipa- ton of limited accommodations many Of the out-of-town Democrats who will attend the convention, are send ing special delivery letters asking for the reservation of seats at the tables. Town Chairman w. w. Bent reports that the sale of tickets for the big dollar dinner.'' as it is called, has been greater than ever anticipated.
 s.I'm afraid that we won't have room enough to accommodate all that will attend,'' said MT. Bent to- day. Many are sending in requests that places at the tables be reserved for them. 1t will be splendid gath ering if attendance counts for any thing"
 The dinner will begin at o'clock Thursday afternoon. Polls theatre is planning a convention night for Thursday night and it is expected that many of the delegates to the conven- ton will attend the performance be- ing staged there this week.
