Gave an Address.

Monday evening A r. Hirst OF
Madison, state engineer of highways,
addressed the members of the TWi-
light club at the Hotel Commercial
and gave much valuable information
relative to the construction Of rural
highways and the maintenance of the
same. There is a necessity for an
improvement of our country roads, es-
pecially in this section of the state,
where but little or no attention has
been paid to them and in the spring
and fall most Of them are impossible
The new law seems to have been made
necessary by the Indifference Of the
farmers even to their own interests
in constructing good roads under the
old road district system.

DEMOCRATIC LEADERS SCORED
FOR NOT TAKING PEOPLE
INTO CONFIDENCE

the candidates for the legislature have
refused to tell the peoples Nho their
choice is, against me. They will not
make the issue. They will not give the
people a chance to have any say in it..
They trade and barter and deal upon
local issues in order to get in, but to
state openly who they will support for
senator they refuse to do.
"Why this refusal to take the people
into their confidence? Do they pro-
pose to do in the legislature what they
dare not tell the people? A more
cowardly thing than the refusal to take
the people into their confidence, one
never saw. Now the rank and file
of Democracy, the voter in the Demo-
cratic party, are undoubtedly in favor
of having some thing to say about it
They are just as much in favor of pop
ular elections as any one, but the
leaders have refused to give them any
voice in the election. That Is the
very basis of machine politics.
