The Consolidated Water Power &
Paper Company Of this city also own
the paper and pulp mill at Biron, a
bout three miles north Of here. They
have had surveyors at work for some
time past taking levels and making
necessary surveys for the purpose of
the information necessary
for the purchase of lands and flow
age on both banks of the Wiscon
sin River from their mill north some
distance. We understand it is their
intention of raising their present dam
several feet higher to give them more
power. While this is going on and be
ing done We wondered if it would not
be feasible for the village of Biron,
the town of Rudolph on the west bank
and the town Of Grand Rapids and
City of Grand Rapids on the east bank
to make amicabIe arrangements with
said company for a wagon bridge tC
be erected upon the crest of the dam
for general traffic. Such a bridge
would build up Biron and bring con
siderable Rudolph trade to that vii
Iage and our city which now finds
its way to our neighboring city of
Stevens Point The wagon road from
Biron to this city on the east side
of the Wisconsin river is shorter and
is in very much better condition than
the roads on the west side of the
river from the same point The pres
emit piers in the dam will have to
be raised higher to increase the fall
OF water over the dam, and while thu
is being done, they could be enlarged
sufficiently to carry the wagon bridge
Why is this not feasible? We wish
our Commercial Club would look into
the matter and give it careful con
sideration.

peeially so, that Of Theodore Roose-
velt. The wages Of sin IS death"
and this old adage is applicable in
this case politically. Why should
prominent men so far forget them
selves as these two have? The
nomination Of Senator r. NJ. La Fol
lette or a dark horse is the only so
luton VIII the delegates arouse
themselves to the true situation and
do that which will keep the Repub-
lican party together? It is now on
the verge of disruption. No one can
predict the result, but many Repub-
licans are becoming disguised with
their party leaders. Who can read
the handwriting?

Governor McGovern's action Tues
day in the Republican National Con-
vention in being a candidate Tor
Temporary Chairman against the
best Judgment of Senator La Fol
lette and the majority OF the Wis
cousin delegation marks his death
knelI politically in this state for Gov
ernor and a seat in the United States
Senate. The governor has lost in his
great desire for preferment. Perhaps
he now feels that he is so strongly
intrenched in this state politically
that he can do as he likes. He will
find by this action on his part that
he failed to succeed in securing the
Craftsmanship, injured Senator LaFol-
lette's chances materially for the
Presidency and made a miserable
failure throughout, Why? Just
to crafty his insatiate desire to ad-
vance before his thine. How unfor-
tunate. As his former admirer and
supporter We are surprised and dis
appointed in his hitherto good judg-
ment. Why will men go crazy and
lose their trolley ON such Important
occasions His action Will divide
the Progressive Republicans in Wis
cousin or we miss our guess. The
governor Will be the loser in the di-
vision.

CONWAY AND GoGGINs MENTION
ED FOR GOVERNOR.

The Milwaukee Daily News in its
issue of June 18th comments favor
ably upon D. D. Conway and B. R.
Goggins of Grand Rapids, as persons
being favorably considered for the
nomination of Governor on the Dem
ocratic Ticket. 1t has the following
to say about Mr. Conway:
Mention is now bei' ; made of At
torney Dennis Conway of Grand Rap
ids in connection with the Democra7
tic gubernatorial nomination and
although friends of Mr.. Conway say
he is in no wise ready to announce
himself as a candidate they admit
he has the matter under consideration
and may enter the field.
The mention of Mr.. Conway as a
gubernatorial candidate comes from
Northern Wisconsin and it is decIar-
ed that leading Democrats in that
section of the state have been urging
Mr.. Conway for some weeks past to
enter the field.
Is Biding His Time.
Mr. Conway will, however, not
make any definite announcement on
the subject until after the Democratic
national convention in Baltimore. 1t
is said Mr.. Conway will go to Balti-
more and that while there he will
talk with leading Democrats in regard
to the situation and that if his friends
desire his candidacy that he may
make the run.
The Democratic party of the state
of Wisconsin, could look long while
to find better timber for this office
than the two fellow citizens, resident
of Grand Rapids who are able and sue
-cessful lawyers 1t would give theil
friends and neighbors in this city a
great pleasure to do everything pos
sible for the nomination and election
of either one of them.

us the information that Elihu Root
Of New York was elected chairman
Of the Republican National Convention
in Chicago On Tuesday, June 18th.
Governor 1IcGoyern of Wisconsin was
his opponent and was defeated by
about forty-four votes. This pre-

would be re-nominated for President.
