Milwaukee, Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday, October 10, 20, q. The entire
program has been arranged with
view of giving special attention to the
needs of rural districts and inasmuch
as Wisconsin is a typically rural state
and that several Investigations into its
fundamentally problem have been
made during the past year it is expect
ed that Wisconsin conditions will serve

throughout the country.
Through these Investigations, made
during the current year by the FEEDER
al Children's Bureau at Washington,
by the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis
Association Extension Division, it has
been revealed that in many regions
country women do not have adequate
medical or nursing care at the time of

they are unattended except by some
member of the family DR.. Grace l..

ton made through a house to house

been reported in two years in certain

ties, and DR. MendenhaII are both pro-
minent on the program of the coming

addresses will contain much valuable
information on rural conditions and
the coming meeting and it is expected
that their addresses will contain much
valuable information on rural condi-
tons and rural needs.

tile paralysis will be discussed at leng-
III t two sessions to be devoted to the
consideration of these contagious dis
eases. Government experts who hand

pipes in the ditch and warded Hanna
mann damages amounting to S845.
The case was over injuries alleged
to have been received when the occu-
pants of buggy were tipped out near
a place where a bridge was being
rebuilt. The corrugated pipes at the
side Of the road were what the jury
found caused the accident.
The accident occurred on May 20,
1915, when Mr.. Hannamann with his
wife and son were driving in a Ium-
Der wagon to Kellner. When near the
Albert Timm place on the county line
Mr.. Hannamann noticed that the hors-
es were cycling the four-foot galvaniz-
ed pipe lying in the ditch. When the
team got even with the pipes, a wind
stirred the tags on them and the hors-
es SHE'D to the left, one wheel Of the
wagon going into the ditch which at
this point is about q inches deep.
They dragged the wagon along in this
manner for about 65 feet and then
climbed onto the road again. The
ditch at this point is about 4 feet deep.
It was when the horses dragged the
wagon back onto the road that the oc-
cupants were thrown out.
D. D. Conway appeared for Mr.. Han
namann and the town of Grand Rapids
was represented by George L. VIII
liams.
In the case of Leon G. Scharr YER
sus Al. G. Barnes, the court dismiss
ed the action for the reason that the
wrong party had been served with the
papers. The action was dismissed
without costs to either party.

REPUBLICAN
STATE CENTRAL
COMMITTED
STARTS Right

The Republican state central COM
mittee has taken the path certain to
lead to a brilliant Republican victory
in November, says the Racine Journal
News, Chairman George A. West has
early brought to bear an influence that
has spread throughout the state, for
the evidences are already abundant
that this committee is the state com
mittee Of the Republican party and not
of a part Of that party. It might be
said that, without any desire to invite
discussion or awaken fractional spirit,
had previous state central committees
pursued the same general lines it is
doubtful if there would have been any
contentious within the party sufficient
ly forcefuI to invite the success of an
opposing party. But there is a new
and better spirit prevailing and the
very prudent course of Mr.. West and
his associates will greatly strengthen
this good feeling.
Indeed it is something fine to say
that, despite any factionalism that
may have evoked more or less unpleas-
antness, the minority has shown a
commendable spirit in accepting the
results 1t is true that in the past
there has been some i'll feeling on ex-
hibition that has led to the defeat at
the polls Of some candidates, and at
the last general election in 1912 los
ing US the state for president In 1914
an unfortunate continuation lost the
Republican party a United States sen
ator, tho at the same time, Repub-
lican state ticket was successful com
posed partly of Conservative and Pro
gressive Republicans The Republi-
cans lost the state for Taft in 1912,
but the state this time will reverse
not Wilsonize-and will give to Hugh
es and Fairbanks its electoral votes.
That Gov. Philip, in receiving a
clear majority over his two Republi-
can competitors, has helped to bring
about a better spirit is certain. His
success was so pronounced that all Re-
publicans in the state have accepted
the result in the best spirit. We make
no exceptions. Republicans will give
their support to the entire Republican
ticket nominated at the primaries.
If there are some Progressives who
are not inclined to favor Gov. Philip,
it might be said there may be some Re
publicans who would rather not vote
for Senator La Toilette, but all this
sort of thing is being eliminated thru
the wise course of the party's state
committee. Let Republicans forget
the past, it is the best and the safest
way. Let all fractional knives be
thrown away and every Republican
vote for the entire ticket.
The Republican state committee will
work cheerfully and effectively for the
support of the entire ticket All the
candidates should do likewise and the
Republican voters will ratify the pro
ceedings Marinette Eagle-Star.
