SINGLE ACTION IS
ASKED IN RECOUNT
MGOVERN WANTS CANVASS
STOPPED UNTIL ALL PRE-
CiNCTS ARE CANVASSED.
WANT SEPARATE DECISIONS
Assistant District Attorney Lyman az
Wheeler Advises Board to
Adopt the Governors
Suggestion.

Milwaukee.-To obyiate the neces>
possible appeals to the courts and cons
solidate the action into a single case.
Thomas Mahon, attorney for Gov. Me-
Govern in the senatorial contest, made
a demand upon the board OF canvass
ers for Single determination" of the
result of the recount. The demand
asks that mo final determination of
any of the issues raised in the de-
mand for a recount be finally deter
mined until all of such precincts have
been investigated"
The point has been raised that un-
der section 6S of the election laws a
determination" may be reached by
precincts as the recount of each pre-
cinct is completed The law requires
that an appeal to the courts shall be
made within five days after the de
termination" is reached. If the point
raised that determination of the
facts could be made by precincts, a
separate appeal to the courts might
be required for every one of the ITO
precincts in which the senatorial con-
test is in progress. This would in
volve the senatorial contest in legal
complications, it is said, which would
require months to untangle.
Lyman, G. Wheeler, special assistant
district attorney, appeared before the
board of canvassers and advised the
board of canvassers to adopt the
course urged by Mr. Mahon in his de-
mand upon the board.

carried to the Goggins farm as the
result of visits. An outbreak of the
foot and mouth disease has also been
discovered on the Clark Harris farm
near Delavan.
In the territory where the disease is
prevalent people should not visit each
others FARMS" said DR.. o. H. Ella

STRANGER SAYS He is DIETz
Tells Eastern Papers Secured Pardon
From President For Famous
Camaron Dam Defender.

Milwaukee.-Re are again being
received regarding a man who claims to
be Leslie Dietz, son of the Cameron
daT defender, and says he walked
from Winter, Wis, 10 Washington, d.
c., to see the president and obtain
pardon for his father. A few days ago
the supposed Leslie Dietz arrived at
Baltimore, Nd, and declared he had
secured an interview with President
Wilson, that the latter had promised
to pardon the elder Dietz, and had al
ready signed the necessary papers.
The supposed Dietz visited offices of
Baltimore newspapers and claimed to
have presented to the president a pc
tition with 100000 signatures. He
said he had started on his long walk
ing trip almost two years ago, visit
ing many states. According to word
received from Chippewa Falls Leslie
Dietz was in that city on Dec. 70
attend the opening of the Metropol-
itan theater, in which he is interested.
He left there for Mayville, Wis.
The members of the Dietz family
have been showing moving pictures OF
the adventures of their father and
themselves during the Cameron dam
affair, and have been making large
profits out of their enterprise. In adj
dition, they have been showing at
moving picture houses in all parts or
Wisconsin and have sold their rights
in other states where they could not
appear personally. They reserved for
themselves, however, the rights for
Minnesota, Michigan and Illinois.
About six weeks ago a man claim
ing to be Leslie Dietz walked into the
office Of the New York Globe and con-
WINGED The editors he was genuine. He
said he was completing a walk of So
900 miles and had obtained 100000
signatures to a petition requesting
that his father be pardoned. He stat
ed at that time he was leaving New
York for Washington. He did not seek
money.
At the time of the New York Incl
dent members of the Dietz family
issued statement scoring the man
as an imposter and denying that Les
lie Dietz had been in any of the cities
mentioned
The family is unable to explain the
actions of the stranger. Thus far all
efforts to take him into custody have
been unsuccessful.

Ready for Defense.

From the first we have had a clear
and settled policy with regard to
military ablishments. We never
have had, and while we retain our
present principles and ideals we never
shall have, a large standing army.
If asked, are you ready to defend
yourselves? We reply, most assured
iy, to the utmost; and yet we shall
not turn America into a military
camp. We will not ask our young
men to spend the best years of their
lives making soldiers of themselves.
There is another sort of energy in us.
1t will know how to declare itself and
make itself effective should occasion
arise And especially when half the
world is on fire we shall be careful
to make our moral insurance against
the spread of the confagration very
definite and certain and adequate in
deed.
Let US, remind ourselves, therefore,
of the only thing we can do or will
do. We must depend in every time
of national peril. in the future as in
the past, not upon a standing army,
nor yet upon a reserve army, but upon
a citizenry trained and accustomed
to arms. 1t will be right enough. right
