PLATFORM BY NORRIS
Urges Nebraska Republicans to Adopt
Resolutions Against standpat-

WASHINGTON, July 1o.-Declarlnx
he does not see 'show a genuine pro-
gressive can support either Taft or
Wilson," Representative Lafferty, reg
ular republican nominee for reelection
from the third Oregon district, today
announced that he would support Col
onel Roosevelt for president.
Nothing short of complete political
revolution said Lafferty, "will put the
public in charge Of the machinery OF
government. Roosevelt Is the only
man willing to lead that revolution
and / firmly believe that he will De

Roosevelt is the greatest man since
Gladstone and l will miss my guess

great country by filing few tedious

card by the voters when the Roosevelt

Plea From Norris.
LINCOLN, Neb., July 1o.-Congress-
man George w. Norris insurgent lead
4 ed in the house snd the nominee ot
I Nebraska republicans for promotion
= to the senate, has promulgated an ap-
peal to progressives to control the
state platform convention July 80 in
Lincoln. The appeal says in part:
There will undoubtedly be an at
tempt on the part Of standpat republi-
cans to promulgate standpat plat
form and to endorse the political lar
ceny by which a defunct national COM
mittee packed the Chicago convention
with sufficient number of stolen
delegates to give to Mr.. Taft his al
legged nomination. The moral effect
Of the platform adopted at Lincoln
and throughout the country will be
great It will have tendency to show
| whether Nebraska republicans are
progressive or reactionary. There is
no doubt that the rank and file of the
republican party in Nebraska are al
most unanimously in favor of pro-
lgressive principles and are practically
a unit in opposition to the fraudulent
and dishonest methods that were USED
by discarded political bosses in Chi
cago to steal the presidential nom
ination. We ought to show 70 the ma
ton and to the world that the republi-
cans of Nebraska emphatically con-
denim any political machine that by
such unjust and dishonest manipula-
tions, attempts to thwart the wish and
will Of patriotic and loyal citizens"

Perhaps the hardest fought football
game played in this city this fall took
place at the fair grounds Friday after
noon between Madison and the local
high school. Madison is out for the
championship and has defeated every
team they have tackled. They have
played Richland Center, Jefferson,
Sparta and West Division of Milwau-
kee, holding them SO they never got a
score. Baraboo, however, succeeded
in crossing their goal, the score being
35 to in favor of Madison. The game
was hard fought from start to finish
and the roofing for the Baraboo team
was the best it has been for many
years. "Let George do it!' he can
make them fill their lungs with good
fresh air.
Both teams showed that they have
had good training. The Baraboo boys
played against odds, Madison averag-
ing nearly five pounds to the man
heavier. Stewart made a fine dash
down the field, making about fifty
yards. Bremen and Stewart played
the game from start to finish.
The line up was as follows:

+. ln186O when the writer first came
to this place in Fairfield to live, the
most desirable thing to be seen on the
premises was one lone apple tree, q
Talman sweet, small but thrifty and 1t
was soon of bearing age. The fruit
was of the finest variety, and spraying
was not needed nor thought of.
In time the tree died, was hewn
down and cast into the fire, much to
the regret of the whole household.
The roots were left in the ground,
from which another tree has grown
and has borne for several years. The
apples in size, shape and color are
Identical with the Talman sweets, but
to the taste are sour. They are good
cookers, good keepers and good to
eat.
Can any of the wise ones tell us
through the News how the Talman
sweets came to turn sour?
