Welt can expect to command, yet
he was defeated by James A..
Garfield on the thirty sixth bal
lot.
There is every reason to BE-
lieve that the Chicago convention
to be held this year may parallel
this history, the name of LaFol-
lette of Wisconsin being substl-
tuted for either Taft or Roosc-
welt. Taft is likely to fail OF
nomination despite his public
patronage. and Roosevelt is as
apt to fail in his quest for third
term as did Grant in 1880.
What then? These are pro-
gressive times. The people de-
mand progressive and coura-
geous man. LaFollette stands
as such
For twenty years or more
he has remained steadfast to the
cause of democracy, to a people s
government and has not been
afraid to defy both precedent
and machine rule, believing
that the government of the people
couldnot be taken from the
people and that the government
which belongs to the people
should remain with the people.
His chances of n omination at the
Chicago convention are create
than some people may believe.
He has an issue and his issue is
the peoples.
His position before the conven-
ton is not unlike others in pre-
vious history: LaFollette will
hight on.
The FIRST issue of the Wis
consin Bulletin. a new paper
that is being issued by the Wis
consin Advancement Associa-
ton, has made its appearance

paper is a neat six column-four
page paper printed on a book
paper, The purpose of the Bull
letin is to advance farming in
Wisconsin. The paper is to give
facts and figures on the crop
production of this state as COM
pared with other states of the
Union. The paper has started a
good work and we hope for its
success.

In 1860 the best bet in Repub.

York. Wisconsin even sent a
delegation down to Chicago for
that gentlemen, but after the
voting in the con yention began
Seward lost ground ana Lincoln
was finally nominated.
In 1868 the heroes of the war
were in the ascendancy and
Grant was unanimously nominal
ted, as was the case four years
later in 1872. In 1876 Blaine
seemed to have even q better
chance of nomination than Taft
has today. The federal patron
age of Grant was thrown to his
favor and when he started out
atsthe convention had more votes
than eitherssMorton of Indiana CT
Bristow Of Kentucky. In this
great battle in the Republican
convention Hayes remained at
the bottom of the list until the
fifth ballot when unexpectedly
he began to develop strength
and won out on the seventh bal
lot.
In 1880 Grant returned from
his triumphal trip around the
world, as Theodore Roosevelt re-
turned from his hunting trip
after being entertained by kings
in various countries. In the
case of Grant ambition over

PIPE MONDAY

Commissioner b. w. Vedder VIII
begin work next Monday laying the
lead pipe water connections in the
new paving district. Despite the fact
that the legal complications incident
to the new change in the election
and registration law may possibly de-
lay the authorization of bonds for
the paving district Mr. Vedder In
tends to go ahead with the connec-
tion work as soon as it arrives
Mr.. Vedder's decision to do this
was a matter of considerable relief
to Commissioner Rankin who will
have supervision of the paving. Il
will serve to give the paving men a
great deal more time If it can be ac-
complished before the election anG
thus allow the back fills plenty OF
time to settle before the paving sur
face is laid.
The slight element of chance
which enters into the proposition of
doing the work before the bonds are
finally authorized is not considered
sufficient to over balance the time
which is gained.
The bond attorneys in Denver are
holding the proposition up somewhat
by the delay in passing on the tran
scription of the proceedings in the
issue. AS soon as they are heard
from the election date will be set.

The clang of a piece of sheet metal

alarm to Sam and Jack, the city team
that formerly pulled the city fire
wagon, and not stopping for instruc-

house, expecting to be put on the

ment between the horses resulted
in collision with the curbing, break
ing the wagon and freeing the ami

they could for the fire house. The
fireboys were surprised to see the
horses at the station, nervously eX-
pectant for fire and 1t took careful
handling to prevent the horses from
going out and hunting a real fire.
