While we make considerable fuss here

Let the Truth be Known.

Farmers throughout Wisconsin are
curious to know whether or not th6 pres
ent legislature will cause the much de-
sired investigation OF our state uniyer-
sity, especially the agricultural depart
ment. This has been one of the main
topics Of discussion in rural circles. 1t
is hard for tho farmer to see why land
that will never be fit for farming. and is
partly covered with water, can be worth
$1,000 per acre when added TO the state
farm. They are anxiOu, to know how
the immense appropriations for this de-
partment are disbursed. Our farmers
bear large share Of the burden of taxa
tion and have right to know who is
spending their hard earned dollars and
for what. 1t would also be interesting
to know how much Of the appropriated
fund set aside for the state farmers in
stitutes, has been spent for private poll
tical purposes and to farm the farmer
for his vote. Let the truth be known,
gentlemen, and if cleaning up is nee
essary, let us have it now The Farmers
Veterinary Adviser.

The Election Tuesday.

Next Tuesday, the voters of the several
wards IN this city will have an oDp0r-
tunity to cast their ballots for school
commissioners, supervisors, aldermen
and a city justice of the peace. In many
of the wards there is no opposition to
those who have announced their candid
acy and but little interest has been
manifested, the apathy and Indifference
being quite general except in certain
circle which wishes to control the cOun-
Gil. As has already been expressed in
the Leader. the voters should make
choice of the best men possible for school
commissioners and supervisors, as the
welfare Of the school is vitality important
to the city and good men should be
elected as supervisors to represent the
city on the county board.
/ Ie men who have ,nsented to stand
for school commissioners thas far are
among our best citizens and entitled to
support, but in few wards, there does
not appear to be any one deslrous of
serving the city as supervisors and on
election day the names OF those who
might be disposed 60 serve can be writ
ten in the ballots by the voters.
There is no opposition to William d.
Stacy for justice of the peace, who, from
past experience is we'll qualified for the
office and deserving of a reelection.
There are three candidates for county
Judge, two Of the candidates being citi
zens Of WatertOwn who are we'll known
TO most of the voters in the city between
whom they can make choice, and in this
connection the writer will be pardOned
for expressing regret that there are two
candidates which makes the defeat of
both possible.
There is state superintendent of
public education to be elected. There
are two candidates and in the unbiased
opinion of the writer. Hon. G. 2. Cary
the present incumbent should be reflect
ed, for he is a friend to the common
schools, and opposed by those of the uni
versity ring.
