sensation Of the hour and won
him the praise and admiration OF
the good people all over the state
Mr.. Settoon was first elected
to the House of Representa- yes
lin 1883 and again in 1896, and IN
1900 he was made State Senator
of the 10th District, which posi-
ton he has held continuously TO
the present time.
With the Florida Parishes we
can say, there may be as good
men in the Senate as Senator
Settoon, but none BETTER" and
VIC heartily commend his candl'
dacy to the voters
Senator SettOon has always
held the entire confidence and
good will of his colleagues IN the
State Senate. He has the hap
pv faculty of making friend:
readily and this has enabled hin
to get bills passed in the 'eglsla
ture where other members WHIT
were much better speakers have
failed. He IS regarded as one 0
the leaders in the Senate and
holds the Craftsmanship of som
of the most important commit
tees, which is further recognI
ton Of the high esteem in which
he is hell by the body.

the platform of my opponent Mr..

I would like to say that | have
no criticism to make conce "nlng
most of it for great deal Of the
platform is a code of principles
that most democrats stand for.
But 7 do want to cali attention to
what seems to a great many as
an Inconsistent position for Mr..
Branch to take. His second
plank is a declaration against the
fee system by which al officer
NAV reward his friends or pun
| ish bis enemies. At the time be
stands on this plank be also sits
as chairman of the Democratic
Executive Committee Of this
parish as will be noticed from
proceedings of tie committee in

selected in thu past, and will
select il he future the returning
officers for the Primaries.
Three fifteen electors precincts

ing officers to be named for the
January Priarmy Each return
| ing officer will receive at least
$40. Is not the principle the
same? Will he not be able to
reward his friends" even while
! he is running for Office? Fur
tbermUre in the event Of con-
test over the primary. even it
Mr.. Branch did not sit as a
| Judge of his own interest he
would be called on to select bis
own proxy.
I want to ask Mr., Branch if he
does not thi~k that his position
| is Inconsistent and unfair upon
this matter.
One thing | want to mention,
that is | am in thorough accord
with the prohibition plank OF the
platform. | have been adyocat-
ing aud living by that principle
for many years. I not only de-
clare for it, but live prohibition
and if elected | will not only
support prohibition measures
but will continue to live it. From

Expanded Lungs Not Enough
Pure blood is indispensable to the
health and strength of the lungs. The
delicate structure of these organs
makes it necessary. When the blood
is impure the lungs lose their tone, and
even if they are permitted to expand

to perform their important work. The
fact is, there is nothing more necessary
IN our physical economy than pure blood

Show us the hill that this
new Studebaker can't climb

Show it to us-thats all. Or show us
a hill that you THINK it can't climb.
And We'll show you the most amaz-
ing motor that you ever sat back of.
This 1916 Studebaker FOUR is the
MOST POWERFUL car ever
priced at less than 81, 600. It develops
40 horse power-POWER in
abundance - and power with
marked economy of fuel
The new motor is larger than last
years. But many important changes
have been made in it's design, based
on the Studebaker engineers study
of the $4,000 Studebakers running
on the roads.
But this GREATLY INCREASED
POWER isn't the only Improvement
in this 1916 Studebaker FOUR. It's
bigger car in every way-1onger-
112 inches in wheelbase roomier
carries 7 passengers III COMFORT.
Tires are larger-34x4 Goodrich with
Safety treads on rear.
Baraboo weekly news. [volume] (Baraboo, Wis.) 1912-197?, 1915-10-14

And while the price is lower than
ever, the QUALITY has been greatly
improved.
The upholstery is the finest grade or
genuine, hand buffed, Straightforward
leather. Steering knuckles, gears,
transmission shafts, are of the finest
alloy steels. The finish is put on with
Is color and varnish operations. The
chassis is thoroughly painted to pro-
tect it from weather. Not a chance
has been overlooked to make the car
BETTER. And yet the price is lower,
because Studebaxer, with its unlimited
resources and it's 148-acre plants and
years of manufacturing experience,
is able to effect economies that few,
if any, manufacturers can approach.
It's the best car that Studebaker ever
built-and the best value on the mar
ket at any price. And it won't take
long to convince you of that, either.
The car will do its own talking. But
it talks better on the roads-or up a
hill. And SO we'd like you to ride in
it. Why not today?

1t is said that England, France
and Italy have arranged to puy a
great quantity of American wheat,
and ship it to European ports under
the protection of battleships from the
navies of the three countries named.
The program includes a heavy snip
ment of Kansas and Oklahoma wheat
from Galveston. The Galveston
elevators have increased their facll-
ties materially and are prepared TO
load ships more rapidly than they
did last summer and fall, thus avoid
ing the necessity of an embargo on
account of blockade.
Wheat harvest is in progress all
over Kansas and the farmers are go
ing ahead with their work notWlth-

where wheat is badly down and water
is still standing in the fields, old
fashioned cradles are used Inc

MEXICAN BUTCHER HELD
New Orleans Police Take Man Charged
With killing Burweu.

New Orleans, July 6.-The police
today were expecting instructions from
federal authorities to deliver into
their custody Procopio Meraz, a for
mer Huerta army officer, said to have
been an aid de camp on the staff of
General Emilio Quiro1 Gomez.
Meraz was arrested here early today
after the police had received an
anonymous note alleging he had con-
fessed to the writer that he was re-
sponsible for the death of Scott Bur
well, an American, executed in Mexico
about a year ago. The write of the
unsigned note, Manuel Espeverria, a
Mexican who was located by detec-
tives, supplemented the written
charges with a direct statement, &C
cording to the police, declaring Merazs
in confidence, recently had admitted
to him that 81, with my soldiers, killed
the 'gringo'."
Meraz, in his alleged confession, ac-
cording to ESperverria'S statement to
the police, declared Quirol, who was
believed to have ordered the execution
of Burwell. had nothing to do with
the matter. Quirol, it is understood
here now is in the custody of federal
authorities at San Antonio, held as an
undesirable alien He was detained
here by United States immigration Of

was taken to San Antonio to stand
trial on a charge of having struggled

GALVESTON IS NOW READY

While railroad traffic officials shy
at questions regarding the 1915 wheat
yield in Kansas, it is known that they
arc planning to handle tonnage on
1OO,OOO,000 bushel basis
The Kansas railway managers nave
for several weeks been putting their

largest crop of wheat in the states
history, and everything is in readi-
ness for the movement when 1t
starts. The opinion prevails that the
price will not be sufficiently attract
I've to induce the farmers to rush
their grain to market However 1t is
expected that those who must sell
early will turn loose a volume of
wheat sufficient to keep the railway
rolling stock in motion from the
opening of the threshing season, but
without the danger of a car shortage.
