MADISON, Wis, Feb. 2.-Demo-
cratic leaders in the Eighth Con-
gressional district look upon the
same as fruitful democratic terri
tory in the coming campaign and
thew believe that the demo
Gratis will carry that district in the
coming election. 1t is said that II
the republican leaders are looking
upon the Eighth district as certain
republican territory they will be
greatly surprised in the results OF
the election next November. and
that there are a number OF counties
in the district besides Marathon
county, which is conceded to be
democratic territory, that Will
probably give democratic pluralitles
at the polls.
The prospect of democratic VIC
tory in the Eighth district Is Cdus-
ing the democratic leaders to make
a careful survey of the territory
for a good strong candidate to make
the run for the democratic nomlna-
ton for congress and it is said that
the leaders will likely get together
and unite on some progressive dem
ocrat whom they think will be GER
tain of strong support at the polls
and that there is little likelihood OF
the man whom they ask to make
the run having any opposition IN
the primary election. In fact, II
possible, it issaid, a primary contest
will be avoided so that the entire
strength of the party can be given
to the election campaign with a
view of making as thorough a can
vass as possible for the man who
is brought into the field to bear the
democratic banner in the election
fight.

in the interest Of the democrat

There have been some doubts in
the minds of many of the democratic
leaders whether Assemblyman Plow-
man would accept the democratic
nomination for congress in the
Eighth district if it was offered him.
Friends of his, however, say that
while Mr.. Plowman will not raise
his land to get the nomination and
will do nothing to influence the
choice in his favor, they believe if
the democratic leaders in the
Eighth Congressional district should
decide that they desire the Assembly
man to make the run he will be will
ing to become a candidate and
make the canvass which will be
necessary in the campaign.

Mr.. Plowman is very popular in
all of the agricultural counties of
the Eighth district, as he is looked
upon as a practical farmer and
man who has the agricultural inter
ests of the district at heart. Should
he become the Eighth COMPRESSION
al district candidate it is said that
a great many republican farmers
would give their votes to Mr.. Plow-
man, no matter who the republi-
can candidate in that district might
be. Mr.. Plowman would be able to
make a thorough canvass of the dis
trict as although he is no orator, he
is strong speaker and states plain
ly what he believes on ali subjects.
His addresses, too, are of a kind
that are effective with his voters

SURPRISES ARE HINTED AT BY THE

A. j. Plowman Proposed as a Candidate For
Congress For the Eighth District

through his work was the measure
which permits counties to issue
bonds with land owned by residents
as security for the purpose of allow
ing the land owners the proceeds of
the bonds to be used in the improve
ment of their land for agricultural
purposes. By many this measure
was regarded as the most import
ant enactment ever passed through
a Wisconsin legislature for the i'm
provement of Northern Wisconsin
lands. 1t is said also that residents
in quite a number of Northern Wis.
consin counties are preparing to
take advantage of this law and ask
the counties in which they reside to
issue the bonds. The lands amply
secure the payment of the bonds.

PRESIDENT OF
EMORY COMES

DR.. DICKEY TO ARRIVE TODAY
He viii Preach Here Twice

Americas will have as its guest one
of the foremost educators of the state
when DR.. ]. E. Dickey, president of
Emory college, comes here today to
spend several days in the city. He
will preach at the First Methodist
church at both the morning and the
evening service on Sunday.
In addition to his work as an edu-
Gator DR.. Dickey is one of the most
eloquent preachers in the state, and t
is in this capacity especially that the
people of the city will be delighted to
hear him. There will doubtless be
unusually large crowds to greet him
at both the morning and the evening
services tomorrow.
In response to the invitation of the
pastor of the church, Rev. o. B. Ches-
ter Dr. Dickey has consented to come
to Americas to be present at the Sun
day services and to spend day or
two pleasantly in the city, where he
has many friends. He comes on no
particular mission than the one men
toned.

WHAT THE PHILIPPINES OFFER

Mr. M L. Stewart has been sent by
the PHILIPPINE government as a COM
missioner to this country, and he
brings the information that the Amer
lean people are quite ignorant OF
their island possessions. Among
other things he says that experiments
in rubber culture have been made
with highly satisfactory results, and in
the near future the Philippines will
be producing a good supply.
We are told that the island govern
ment is now self-sustaining and the
people have practically self-govern-
ment; that the number of natives who
speak English now is greater than the
number who spoke Spanish when the
Americans were in after 300 years Of
Spanish occupation. There are 5000
public schools with 100000 pupils;
and the University of the Philippines,
at Manila, has 1400 students.
Another interesting bit of informa-
ton is that there are 100000 acres
of virgin hardwood forests, and A.
100000 acres of the best sugar land
capable of producing enough sugar to
supply the United States. The climate
is said to be comfortable and health
ful-the death rate among the white
population being smaller than in New
York. Before 1898 smallpox was the
scourage of the islands, carrying of
about 10000 of the native population
every year, but vaccination was in
troduced and the disease has disap.
peared.
In commenting on the commercial
possibilities Mr. Stewart directed at
tention to the fact that one-half this
population of the world resides within
1900 miles of Manila, and that city
would, if American manufacturers had
not neglected their opportunity, be the
distributing point for American pro.
ducts. He also called attention to the
fact that while China last year spen'
$500, 100000 for manufactured goods
only 10 per cent came from the Unit
ed States.
The gentleman, however, seems t.
be aware of the fact that the Amer.
lean manufacturer is so busy getting
tariff laws and doing up" the buyers
in the home market that he has n
time to extend his trade to the mar
kets of the world.

selves of these advantages until the

The new sewer facilities cover many
miles of strictly modern Improvements
