the large number of fans who had

Dahl Gaining Gronnd

AS the time for the primaries
in Wisconsin draws nearer there
is change in sentiment among
the Progressive Republicans Of
the state in favor of the candid
acy of Andrew H. Dahl of Vernon
County for Governor.
The people of the state are be-
ginning to realize that this is a
battle between the Stalwart and
Progressive forces and that if
the Progressives are to win they
must stick by one candidate and
not divide their votes. Naturally
they are swinging over to the
strongest candidate and are pick
ing Mr.. Dahl as the man to make
the race against the candidate of
the Stalwart forces.
Mr.. Dahl is now engaged in
making a very active campaign in
Wisconsin and everywhere he is
greeted by large audiences. AS
to hustling ability Mr.. Dahl has
all other candidates beat a mile"
and as to qualifications he ranks
equally we'll with the rest of the
candidates.
If the republicans succeed in
nominating Mr.. Dahl as their
candidate for Governor he will
have little difficulty in winning
in the General election against
the Democratic candidate. But
with the other candidates the
people do not feel quite so sure.
1t is for this reason Mr.. Dahl has
been gaining ground during the
past two weeks and his nominal
ton now seems certain.
Northern Wisconsin will give
the candidate from Vernon coun-
ty a handsome endorsement at
the primaries.

Why Not Tag Wisconsin Bachelors?

why NOT lag wisconsin Dacnelors!
A great many State legis-
latures have given consideration
to bills taxing bachelors and
many convincing arguments
have been presented why men
who escape matrimony should
pay a penalty, but why not tag
them as a more painless and
effective method of extermin-
alton? If the bachelors were
tagged the widows could easily
find them and Cupid will do the
rest. The bachelor is naturally
timid, but under the encourag-
ing influences of a merry widow
he can easily be led to the altar.
for there is no more helpless
craft afoat than a lovesick swain
who has passed the age of dis
cretlOn, ana the little mp That
plays ping-pong with human
hearts has no more capable ally
that a woman who loves at
second sight, for experience
makes Cupid subtle and bold.
The women have tag days to
promote most every kind of
public enterprise, and why not
a tag day for bachelors? We
have in Wisconsin approximate
ely seventy thousand bachelors
and and equal mum Der of widows.
Why not get them together and
solve two vexatious problems
with one marriage license?

tics to secure for Mr.. Morris
the nomination.
Tom Morris has sacrificed ten
of the best years OF his life to
the progressive movement. He
has always put it's interests first
his own interests second. In
speaking of Mr. Morris Senator
LaFollette says: "Tom Morris
has always been true and has
never betrayed a friend. He
has never played double as bet
ween parties. He is deserving
of the best support the Pro.
gressives can give him. He will
make an able, and above all. a
faithful Senator for the people. !"

the stump in behalf of his own
candidacy for this place and from
now until the primaries the

between the two forces.
The LaF'ollette forces will
naturally throw their support
to Tom Morris and this force
seems to many to be a strong
enough factor in Wisconsin poll

early age has lived In countries where
Spanish is the almost universal tongue
From force of this training he speaks
Spanish perfectly. He has not the
slightest trace Of an English accent

As of American parentage are willing
to believe he Is Spaniard merely
from hearing him talk. He is so per
fectly bilingual that 1t shows even in
his gestures. When talking with Eng
lish speaking persons he sits quietly
and does his conversing with his
mouth alone. Only In case Of making
a point most emphatically does he use
a gesture. But the moment he drops
into Spanish his every word is accom-
panied by a movement of the hands ar
arms. 1t Is interesting TO watch the
change from the English to the Span
fish side of him. because 1t comes so
suddenly. He really can't speak Span
ish without gesturing.-NewY York Sun.
