The Old Reqiment.

Long ago on a summers day
Over the hills they marched away
Finfolk, friends and the boys we knew \
In childhood's blossoms and fields of dew,
Changed in that hour to full grown men,
When the song of the bugle rang down
the glen
With it's wild appeal and its throb and
thrall,
And they answered YEA" to their coun-
try'S call
Then in the furrow the plowshare slept,
Ger wheel and anvil silence crept,
All night long through the village street
Thundered the rhythm of marching feet,
With clash Of steel and the sabers clang
And the gray commanders stern ha-
rangue,
Till morning broke, and they marched
away,
Long ago on a summers day.
We watched them CO. with their guns
Down past the mill and the winding
stream.
Across the meadows with clover deep,
BY the old stone wall where the roses
creep. ~@,
We watched them go till they climbed the
And they faced about as the drums grew
And they waved their caps to the vale be-
low
With its breaking hearts that loved them
Save for the MANNED and the shattered
few
They come no more to the vale they knew
In the old dear days of their childhoods
Dreams
But far away, by the alien streams,
On the scenes Of their struggles their still
hearts sleep,
Lying unnamed in the trenches deep.
Where the foe at Antietam stormed the
lines
And the blood stained bayonets at Seven
Pines
They wake no more to the battles noise
Kinfolk, friends and the neighbors' boys,
But oft when the starlight fills the glen
In phantom marches they come again,
| And over the walls where the roses creep
And the dew kissed meadows with clover
deep
| I see them still as they marched away
| Long ago on a summers day.

made from the Union camp, near Fair

were very close at that point

struggling about their quarters and
hanging over their campfres gossipin2
or waiting for their rationS. while On
the Union side the troops were under
arms and engaged in drilling or dress
parade Of the counts headquarters
services General Mcclellan has many
good words in his memoirs. He took
the dangerous and disagreeable things
incident to his calling as an aid with
the best grace. His first experience
in real war in this service was had at
Yorktown, on the peninsula.
The services of the count ended with
in a week after the battle of Gaines
Mill and covered period of about ten
months. Although an alien, he held
very decided opinions upon the issue
of the war; and his work shows that
he was guided by conviction.

The claim that the $4,000 votes
received by Mr.. Philip in the
primary election represents only a
small minority of those voting for a
candidate for governor, and that the
80, 600 votes cost for the other
candidates-Dahl, Hatton, Roethe,
Hull and Utman, represent the real
progressive vote, will not stand the
acid test. Roethe got about $4,000
votes. Surely those cannot be reck-
oned as progressives, for he was
the most pronounced of any of the
candidates against the extravagances
of the present administrator. Aside
from this county, where men of all
political views, who believe in his
honesty, gave him tremendous vote,
his support may fairly be assumed to
nave come from sources opposed to
the policies of the progressive crowd
that has loaded US with taxation and
freak laws. Hull stood upon a tax
reduction, administration plat
form, and 0OOO or more OF his votes
may well be credited to those who
favor conservatism. Possibly 1000
more may in like manner be counted
from the Utman support. This would
show about $1,000 conservative
votes as against 5000 that may
honestly be placed in the conservative
column. The fellows who are talk
ing of boiling the regular nomina-
tions because the result is not exatly
to their liking had better pause and
reflect. The state needs a careful
and business like administration such
as Mr.. Philip can be relied upon to
give. The people are aroused and have
spoken. We do not believe they are
in the temper to favor an independent
candidate.

COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY
FAVORS A SANITORIUM

A discussion of the tuberculosis
problem in Grant County was the
principal feature of the meeting of
the County Medical Society held in
Lancaster last Thursday afternoon at
the Country Club rooms. After a
talk by Otto. F. Bradley of the Wis
consin Anti tuberculosis Association
and discussion by several of the
physicians from the county, a resolu-
tion was unanimously adopted ex-
pressing the opinion of the society
that sanatorium to care for tuber-
culosis patients is the greatest need
in Grant county at the present time !;
that the County Board should take
steps to provide one under the law
which offers state aid to counties
building their own institution.
A committee composed of DR.. S.
w. Doolittle of Lancaster, DR.. M. b.
Glasier of Bloomington, DR.. j. c..
Betz of Boscobel, DR.. w. Cunning
ham of Platteville, and DR.. E. A.
Mcdonald of Cuba City, was appoint
ed to present the resolution to the
County Board, and urge that definite
action be taken.
After the regular routine of bust
ness, the following programme was
enjoyed by the doctors attending:
Reports of Cases of Infantile
Paralysis"-By DR.. J. E. Heraty.
"Some Observations Made in
European Clinics BY DR.. &c. Han

culosis Association is Doing Otto

society unanimously voted to hold
the next meeting at Boscobel.

They are it again in Mexico. The
revolution in that benighted country
which drove Hureta from his usurped
position as dictator and placed Car
rama VIGOROUSLY in power, had
scarcely ended when diputes arose be-
tween Carranaza and his fire-eating
militry leader, Villa. In consequence,
Villa has declared war against his
late chief and has concentrated an
army of forty thousand men with
which he has started another revolu-
ton. The American troops, which
had been ordered to re- embark for
home, will now be retained where
they are, a couple of additional war
vessels have been sent to Mexican
waters to meet new conditions, and
the administration at Washington
will continue its policy of watchful
waiting. 1t seems too bad that Car
rama could not have been let alone
for few months until he had ac-
cumulated few million dollars of
plumber with which to flee the coun-
try, as his predecessors have done.

CONAN DOYLE TO RACE
AT REDWOOD FALLS

Redwood Falls, Mimi, Sept q, 1914.
Mr.. j. A. Mccoy,
Lancaster, Wis.
Dear Sir:
Your postals received requesting a
list of entries, also notifying me of
receipt of my telegram, and also asking
if race will go all right In reply will
say that the PIG pace will surely go.
Three horses in this 10 pace are not
doubly entered in the % pace and it
only requires the four horses to start,
and | will furnish a blank entry pro-
viding only the three are ready to start
and the full purse will be raced for;
however, there is no question in my
mind but that two or three of the
double entries will also start in the 1S
pace, so that it will make field of six
or seven horses.
We have been conducting races here
for the past three years and at no time
has horse ever come here to race for
money, that did not have a chance to
race for the money, for the money is
here and the best horse will win, and |
also wish to say Mr.. Mccoy, that of
the many horsemen who have attended
our meetings, there is yet to be the
first one to go away dissatisfied.
l know but very little about the quail
ity of your horse; however, it seems to
me from the reports in the papers, that
the Is pace would furnish him an ex-
cellent chance get inside of the money.
| presume that you will be here your
self with the horse, and when you
come, would like to have talk with
you about starting him in the Is Pace
should you feel that by so doing it
would not injure his chance to work in
the 10 pace the day following.
| might call your attention to the
fact that your horse is the only one
that is doubly entered in the 10 Pace
and the 10 Pace, as all the other double
entries in the 10 Pace are in the %
Pace, so you can readily see that you
are next inside of the money, in my
opinion, at this time. The ONLY thing
that will stop our meeting is three days
bad weather, and if we have one day of
good weather, out of the three, we will
endeavor to give every horseman a
start in his class. | appreciate that
you are coming from some distance
and at all times | want you to feel as
sured that when you get here you will
receive the fairest of treatment.

not establishing an ultimate majority.
The small size of the number of
second choice preferences expressed
makes their effect negligible in any
case; still, since the law compels
their consideration when one candi-
date has a majority of first choice
votes, it is interesting TO see how
far they influence the result in the
Republican primaries.
The first step in the application of
the second choice, where no first
choice majority exists, is the elmina-
tion of the low MANN this case,
Utman-and the distribution of the
second choice votes of his supporters
among the candidates for whom they
were respectively cast.
This process adds 243 votes to
Philips first choice votes; 538 to
those of Dahl, 225 to those of Hat
ton; 122 to those of Roethe and 127
to those of Hull.
No one yet having a majority, the
low man is again eliminated, who is
Hull, and thereupon the second choice
votes of his supporters become opera
tive and are thrown to the candidates
for whom they were cast.
Roethe becomes the next victim
and when the second choice votes of
his following are distributed and ad-
ded to the votes of the other candi-
dates, the result stands thus:
Philip, 44,788.
Dahl, %, TIT.
Hatton, "a, 389.
But still there is no majority, so
Hatton as the low man goes out. His
supporters gave Philip Lilo second
choice votes and Dahl 3,218. Adding
these to the totals just given, Philip
has 45, 907 votes as against 80, 935
for Dahl. In other words, the pro-
cess of first choice elimination and
second choice addition has given him
majority of 1872 over the other
remaining candidate.
The same process carried out with
respect to the senatorial candidates
gives McGovern 80, 324 votes and
Morris, 1882; majority for Nc
Govern of IL, 1862.
In this primary the operation of
the second choice had the effect of
RELOCATING Bancroft from second to
third place. He had &c, 156 first
choice votes against &C., for
Morris. But the elimination of
Burke, Estabrook and Strange gave
Morris more second choice votes than
Bancroft, their resultant total votes
prior to the elimination of the third
man being 27, 387 for Morris and 27, :
153 for Bancroft.
The official figures may work some
change in this result, but it can only
be numerical to slight degree. EMIL

The talk of placing independent
candidates in the field in Wisconsin
for u. S. Senator and governor, to
oppose the candidates nominated by
the people at the primaries, is still
heard in political circles. The five
or six thousand job holders who ex-
pected to see a different result can
scarcely reconcile themselves to the
situation. Even the "Mary Ann"
second choice did not succeed in &C
complishing their purpose.

One little German submarine
vessel of 300 tons, with an armament
of three 18-inch torpedo tubes and
two 1-pounder guns, succeeded in
blowing up and destroying three war
ships of the English fleet, 10000 ton
armored cruisers, within half an hour,
last week, and got away not only
unscathed but even unseen itself.
This swift and silent destruction of
three vessels which cost twelve mil
lions of dollars, demonstrates the
risks of modern naval warfare
through under water attacks.

WHAT THE SECOND CHOICE DID

The Madison correspondence, in
yesterdays Free Press, which gave
the first and second choice vote of
the candidates in the recent primaries,
drew certain erroneous deductions
from these figures.
The writer evidently did not
understand the operation of the
second choice, for he contented him
self with adding the second choice
votes thrown to each candidate to his
first choice votes, thus merely chang
sng the amount of the plurality but
