PLATFORM DECLARING FOR LOWER TAXES WINS
Dahl Made Gallant Campaign but was
Outdistanced by the Milwaukee Man.
Result on Some Offices in Doubt.

Late returns today indicate that
Phillip is maintaining his lead
in the race for the republican
nomination for governor. Figures
now show him at the head of the
field, apparently by a safe mar
gin.
Karel, the Milwaukee demo-
crat, will probably be nominated
over John Aylward, although
late returns are favoring the
Madison man and may be enough
to insure him of the nomination.
Francis E. McGovern carried
the state for the republican nom
ination for United States Senator
over the other five candidates.
Morris was clearly outdistanced
in the race. Husting, the demo-
cratic candidate, is also the win
ner for the senatorship.

The Omaha Railway company
have a large crew of men at work
at their depot in this city and
the place around there is under
going a number of important
improvements. The building is
being raised and will be placed
on a concrete foundataion. The
old plank platform which has
been in use at the depot for a
number of years has been torn
up and new brick and concrete
platform will be laid. The work
will take in the neighborhood of
a month to complete but it will
improve the looks of things
down that way.
The Omaha officials might
have given this city a new depot
at the same time. With the new
improvements to be made now
the old depot will look rather
out of place.

Despite the wet weather and
the bad condition of the roads in
the county districts the primary
election held throughout Bayfield,
county on Tuesday developed
into one of the most hotly con-
tested that has been held in the
comfy in some years. The fight
centered in the Republican party
over a number of the county Off
ces for which there were con-
tests. Democrats, social demo-
Gratis and prohibitionists left
their party in order to partici-
pate in the fun and to cause
the nomination or defeat of their
favorite candidates. The result
was that the socialists and dem
ocrats made a very poor showing
at the primaries.

Andrew Fraser, who owns a
fine farm west Of the city, brought
to this office the latter part OF
last week fine box of straw
berries which were picked on his
land. The berries were delicious
in flavor and Of about the same
size as ordinary strawberries.
Mr.. Fraser informed us that
they were of the everbearing
variety of which he has quite a
number on his farm which he is
experimenting with. These
berries were at all stages of
growth and Mr.. Fraser announces
that he will have ripe fruit for
some time to come.

Looking for Violators of the
u, S. Laws
Persons Selling Drinks Con-
tanning Alcohol Liable to
Get into Trouble.

Two internal revenue men rep
resenting the United States Gov
ernment were in the city for
sereral days during the past week
carrying on an investigation with
a view to locating persons who
have been selling Intoxicating
liquors without first having OBJ
tanned a government license.
1t is said that the persons who
have been selling drinks known
as near beers" are liable to get
themselves into trouble as those
drinks are said to contain a small
percentage of alcohol. Others
who have been shipping liquor
in here by the case and by the
barrel may also have to explain
what they have been doing with
such large quantities of liquor.
It is said that the men here OBJ
tanned the names of many per-
sons who have been shipping in
liquor and the action the govern
ment will take in regard to these
cases will not be known for some
time. In the mean time those
who have been selling near
beers" or intoxicating drinks
without a government license
will be kept on the anxious seat
wondering what the government
will do about it.
The governments is rather hard
on persons who violate the u. S.
liquor laws and some of the per-
sons who have been selling
alcoholic drinks may find their
profits go a glimmering and some
besides.

Desert Party at the Prlm-
ary Tuesday.
Socialists Only Cast Five
Party Votes--Democrats
Cast Sixteen.

One of the surprising things at
the primary election on Tuesday
was the way the Socialists and
Democrats deserted their party
ticket in order to go into the Re-
publican party and cast their
vote. This was surprising on the
Democratic ticket because of the
contest at the head of the ticket.
The socialist ticket did not have
opposition.
In the city only sixteen votes
were cast for Democratic candid
ates. On this number Award
received II and Karel 5. One
Prohibition vote was cast.
The following is the vote for
candidates on the Republican
ticket in the city:

In the race for the republican
nomination for Governor a hard
battle was fought. Phillips plat
form was lower state taxes and
this seemed to appeal to the
voters. Dahl made a gallant ruin
and will come in second on the
ticket with Hull or Hatton third.
Utman was supported by many
farmers. Rothe made a poor
showing.
The returns on the state ticket
are slow in coming in but state
papers say the present state
officers will be nominated. The
race ror Lieutenant Governor
was a spirited one. Peavey, the
home candidate made a fine run,
but the result Of this race will
not be known for a day or two.

Theo. Brekke Killed in Auto
Accident
Four Others Thrown Into
River But Escape Injury.
Machinery Skidded.

Theodore Brekke, a prominen t
resident of the town of Mason,
was killed in an automobile acci-
dent which occurred last Sun
day two miles this side of
Mason. Theo. Brekke was crush
ed underneath his car while four
other men who were in the auto
were thrown into a river and
had a very narrow escape.
Mr.. Brekke and party left
Mason shortly after the noon
hour bound for Ashland to take
in the base ball game. The auto
was going at a high rate of speed.
AS it approached the bridge over
a small stream, the road made a
slight turn and also a slight rise
to the bridge. The aspeed at
which the auto was going, to-
gether with a curve in the road
and a slight ascent to the bridge,
caused the machine to skid and
when it reached the bridge it
smashed through the railing and
went over the bridge sideways.
The four passengers were thrown
into the water, which was about
five feet deep at this point. Not
one of them received a scratch
and all reached the bank safely.
The big machine lay in the water
bottom side up. When they
reached the bank they noticed
that Mr.. Brekke was missing and
rushing into the water again
they managed to lift the machine
high enough to release the in
jured man. Mr.. Brekke was
still breathing when they got
him to the bank but he only
lived about twenty minutes after
the accident. His breast was
crushed in and there were other
marks of injury to his body.
The four men who were with
Mr.. Brekke owe their lives to
the fact that when the machine
went over they were thrown
into the water which saved them.
The funeral of Mr.. Brekke
will be held Thursday afternoon
at Mason. Mr.. Brekke was a
farmer at Mason and was well
known throught that part of the
county. He formerly ran sal
oon at Mason. He was about
thirty eight years of age and
married. The machine which
was driven was a Mitchell.

OSCAR AND BELL RENOMINATED FOR OFFICE ON REP. TICKET
Mcdonald Wins Nomination for Sheriff and
Warden for District Attorney. Walter
Duffy wins Assembly Race.

The Republican vote in the
cities was a normal one but the
vote in the outlying districts was
light. Despite this fact the con-
test at many of the precincts
was spirited.
The fight centered over the
offices of County Clerk, Clerk of
Court, District Attorney, Sheriff,
and Assemblyman. The race for
the Republican nomination for
County Clerk between Nels M.
Oscar and Harvey Irish developed
into one of the best of the cam
paign. Irish made a good run in
the cities of Bayfield,, Washburn
and Iron River but lost heavily
in the outlying districts with the
result that Oscar will secure the
nomination by a majority of

about $50. The wet and dry
issue entered into this contest,
the saloon forces throwing their
support to Irish. So far as the
candidates are concerned the
campaign was a clean one, there
being no mud singing on either
side. Oscar depended upon his
county acquaintance to win the
nomination for him while Irish
made a very active campaign
throughout all parts of the
county.
Like the sh-Oscar contest
the race between F. A. Bell and
Richard A. Herring also developed
into a wet and dry campaign be-
tween the two candidates. This
issue was worked by the Herring
crowd but Bell clearly outdis-
tanced his opponent in the county
and will have a good majority.
John A. Mcdonald won the
Republican nomination for sheriff
over A. P. Stone by a handsome
majority. The people of Nc
Donald's home town, Iron River,
almost unanimously endorsed
him, while Stone carried his home
town by a good margin.
The race between Charles F.
Morris of Iron River and Alfred
M. Warden of Washburn for the
republican nomination for Dis
trict Attorney was where the
surprise came. Warden made a
good run in all parts of the coun-
ty and will be nominated by a
safe margin.
Lorenzo N. Clausen of this
city was defeated for the Re-
publican nomination for Assem-
bly, by Walter A. Duffy of
