The First Campaign Speech

Primary political campaign was OPP
ened in Vernon county last evening, the
occasion being visit and address from
Hon. Sydney Anderson, young First
district congressman from Minnesota,
who came in the interest of Thomas
Morris candidacy fcrlthe United States
senate. Mr.. Andersonis fluent speak
err has a good voice and delivery. His
theme, the Distinguishing Character
istic of Progressive Government. was
handled from different angles. He said
the different states, and in fact the ma
tional leaders. look to Wisconsin for
guidance in the essentials of forward
government and higher civilization.
He told of the centralized power of leg
islation at Washington under democrat
ic leadership. saying that fourteen SOU
thern states absolutely dominate every
move in Legislation under caucus rule.
Out of more than forty important chair
manships all but one are held by southerr
members.
Viroqua was pleased to entertain this
forceful young Minnesotan; we wish
that he might have had more gener.
Gus herring, but We fear he does not
just comprehend the true issues here.
The people are looking for an avenue
Of escape from excessive taxation in
this local state campaign. and they en-
tertain strongly the thought that the
present distinguishing Characteristic
government" in Wisconsin 1t the pow
er, disposition and determination to
send the tax rate to point where peo-
pie rebel at even so desirable and ideal
a system as the speaker pictured.

How to Make 10 Creann

Turning an ice cream freezer on a
hot day is no snap. A few turns is all
that is necessary, according 10 A. C.
Baer, instructor in dairy husbandry and
ice cream making at the College of Az
riculture of the University Of Wiseon-
sin. For one gsIlon of ice cream he ae-
vises the use OF three quartsof medium
rich cream, one pound Of sugar, and a
little vanilla or other good fiavoring,
Put the mixture into the freezer, add
the ice and salt in the proportion ofone
part coarse salt to five parts Of finely
crushed ice. THIN turn the handle
slowly for about fye minutes in order
that the cream may become perfectly
cold Then turn the crank as fast as
possible. In five more minutes the
cream will be about the consistency of
thick gravy. When it is in this semi
frozen condition the dasher should be
taken out ard the ice cream hardened
BY draining the freezer and repaeking
with fresh salt and ice. A wet pack
placed over the freezer to exclude the
air will hasten the hardening. n an
hour the ice cream should be veil hard
ened and It viii be perfectly smooth,
while IL the crank is turned until the
mixture IS hard, the ice cream vii be
coarse and buttery.

1T IS FAvoRABLY RECEIVED
Benefits Candidacy for State Senz-
tor Well Thought of

District Attorney ]. Henry Bennett
has the ground work for his senatorial
candidacy we'll started His nominal
ton papers are in circulation through
out the district and his campaign liter
allure will soon commence to move. It
Is bis purpose to make a canvass Of
the three counties, expecting to do the
major part of his work in jackson and
Monroe counties where his acquaint-
ance is limited.
That Mr.. Bennett has struck a pop
ular chord in the strong stand he has
taken for economical government, the
doing away with a great number of
commissions, inspectors and other USE
less Supernumeraries that have been
created IN late years, is certain. The
people are desperately sore on excessive
and yearly increasing taxation. They
are looking for relief 1t will be dem
onstrated that the record of the pres
ent Senator Teasdale does not afford
satisfactory assurance in that direction.
Hence they welcome the candidacy of
Mr. Bennett. That he will make Wig
orous, intelligent legislator if nominat-
ed and elected admits of no question.
Vernon county has had many well.q quail
flied prosecuting attorneys, but none
who attended more strictly to the du-
ties of the Office than Mr.. Bennett has
done during nearly fourteen years of
service. As legislator he would give
the same watchful care and keen ap-
probation to bis official duties. His
training ard ability are such that he
could readily take leading part in law
making.
A Sparta correspondent to the La
Crosse Tribune has this to say relative
to the senatorial matter:
By 1918 Gerrymandsr, the Wiscon-
sin legislature changed the Thirry-first
district, which had formerly consisted
of Jackson, Juneau and Monroe coun-
ties, by removing Juneau county and
substituting Vernon so that the district
now consists of Jackson, Monroe ana
Vernon counties. Senator Teasdale's
chief source of strength was Juneau
county, although he received very re-
markable vote in Jackson county. He
is practically unacquainted in Vernon.
Bennett has proven strong in political
campaigns in Vernon county, having
held the office Of district attorney for
fourteen years. He is, however, unac-
quainted in Jackson county and is prac-
tically stranger in Monroe county.
Senator Teasdale will make his cam
paign upon his record in the last two
sessions Of the legislature, it is under
stood. From Mr.. Benefits c0nversa-
tion while here it lie suspected that he
will base his campaign upon an econo-
my platform and will attack Mr.. Teas
dale's record from that angle.

that numerous cheese factories in that

the voters of the state at the state
election, property owners will be grant
ed the right to join together in irrIga-
ton enterprises which will ultimately
add much to the wealth of the state.
