Miss Ellen Tinkham. National City,
California, formerly resident of Bar

among which are the following:
The New Yorker. October 20, 1888.
Sauk County Standard, January 4,
1854.
Baraboo Republic. February 3 1859.
Sauk County Democrat, July 18, 1885.
The New Yorker is devoted to poe
try, special articles, stories, history
and editorials. The real news in the
newspapers at that time was difficult to
find. An item taken from the Gaze
novia Herald says the corn crop in the
Territory of Wisconsin is very abun-
dant. The standard mentions a rail-
road meeting in which occurs the name
of A. w. Starks, Col.TS. V. R. Able

Miss Tinkham also gives letter dat
ed at Mineral Point. June %, 1847, and
written by Washburn & Woodman to
John Metcalf, Helena, Wisconsin Ter
ritory. The letter relates to the ship
ment of goods to Helena and the ship
ment of shot to Mineral Point. The let
ter has statement about kegs being
made by Wilson. This was no doubt
John Wilson, who resided on Wilson
creek in Sauk county and made kegs.
He carried them across the river in a
boat.

HUGHES LOCATED A MINUTE

rs1an-American eIement-the element typif1ed by the German-American aI- dances and the similar bodies which
 have, in the pre-nomination campaign,
 played not only an un-American but a thoroughly anti-American part" He
 reaff1rms that mo good American,
 whatever his ancestry or creed, can
 have any feeling except scorn for those professional German-American who seek to make the American Pres ident in effect a viceroy of the German emperor.'' The colonel declares that i've could with only a minimum of risk have protested on behalf of Bel gium' and President Wilson need to
 have employed only quite common courage, resolution and judgment to have 'fput a complete stop to the continually repeated murder of Amer ican men, women and children on the l high seas by German submarines - the Lusitanta being merely the worst 1 of many such cases.'
 l As Roosevelt understands Hughes, the latter would have been and if elected will be much sterner thah 1 President Wilson in dealing with Ger 1 many. In these words Roosevelt proclaims his confidence that he has the right dope on the silent Hughes: l "AssuredIy, if I support candidate it
 may be accepted proof that am
 certain that the candidate is incapable of being influenced by the evil in- I trigues of these hyphenated Ameri-
 cans.''
 | Col. Roosevelt, thus,s stands for
 Hughes because Hughes is a near Roosevelt. If so, the German-Ameri-
 can confidence in Hughes is wholly
 misplaced. If the colonel has guar
 antees that he has the right under
 standing of Hughes, the Hughes rnys-
 tery may be considered settled, unless
 MT. Vierec<. MT. Hexamer, MT. Koel- b1e and others have guarantees to the contrary.-Buffalo Enquirer.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-06-30

Col. Roosevelt has thrown away his plaything.
 The Progressive party that fought for Roosevelt with unprecedented ar
 dor in 1912 and did it's unavailing best for him in 1916 is kicked aside with out the consideration due a loyal dog. To create the Progressive party for Col. Roosevelt, his Worshippers broke dearly beloved ties, sacrificed office, forfeited party standing, spent for tunes and hoodooed themselves for all time. Now they find themselves abandoned by their demigod who not
 only refuses to fight a hopeless bat tie in their company but commands them not to name another chief under whom to die handsomely.
 E Roosevelt not only betrays the Pro-
 gressives but seeks to deliver them. No treacherous prince ever perform
 ed a more shameless t11row-down and
 hand-over. The crusader has t'1aid down. The pa1adin has turned "yeI- Iow.' Hector dragged at the chartot's s welt crawling to the tail of the band wagon is a sight from which to ban
 dage the eyes. Roosevelt's letter declining the Pro gressive nomination and urging Pro- gressives to support the Republican candidate, however, IS uSeIuI as a con- 1 tribution to the effort to locate 1 Hughes. Roosevelt reafhrrns that President Wilson has been tftinaid''
 and guilty of "feeb1eness'' in dealing
 with Germany abroad" and with the 1 organized German outrages within our 1 land, and, finally, in dealing with the ) organized German-American vote." l He alleges that s'the continued exist ence of the Standardization menace at home is directly due to MT.

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-06-30

How does it happen that while MT. Hughes ventures to disapprove of alien intrigues on American soil and to assert that responsibility for them rests at the door of the Administra- tion," he has no word of praise for the officers and courts through whose activities these outrageous crimes have been stopped and hundred or more of their perpetrators deported, arrested, convicted or held for trial? There is not a German spy, dynamit- CT, bombthrower, incendiary or assas- sin in the country to-day who, if en- abled to express his hatred of the resident of the United States, would not in the same breath cheerfuIly sub scribe to MT.
