McGOvern Helping Phillip.

Ex-Governor f. E. McGovern is go
ing through the state ranting about
Governor Phillip and his alministra-
tion when he should be in better bust
ness. He we'll illustrates the struggles
of dieing politician. McGovern is
a dead politician, but he don't k w
enough to see it. After the Septem-
Der 5th primaries he will be brought
to a full realization of where he stands
with the people of Wisconsin. His at
tacks on Gov. Phillip are ridiculous
and helpful to Philip. We hope pro-
gressive republicans who were in
cined to waste their vote on Meow
ern will recover in time to cast them
for w. H. Hatton, the only man who
can be elected Governor this fall on
the Republican Progressive ticket
Wake up to your opportunity and vote
for w. H. Hatton at the primaries.

LIGHTS FOR
THIRDSTREET

The time will come when some of
the pretty resident streets in the city
will be Illuminated by ornamental
lights instead of the unsightly hang
ing lamps now used.
Third street is about to be paved,
now is the time, before the pavement
is put in TO run the conduits under
ground and prepare the bases for flu
ture ornamental lighting on that
street.
Third street is one of the prettiest
streets in the city with its immense
trees whose branches arch over the
street. The street is a dark pocket at
night with the present system of IL
Elimination.
The authorities should take this mat
ter up now, and not have to tear the
pavement up at some future date to
put in an Improvement of this kind
Make Third street right in the first
place and it will mean money saved
in the future

Candidate for County Clerk.

W. H. Bean, of Vesper, whose an
nouncement as a candidate for the Of
flee of County Clerk on the Republi-
can ticket at the September primaries,
appears in this issue, was a caller at
this office Tuesday afternoon. Mr..
Bean is an old settler of Wood County,
having come here from Waukesha
County in 1869, with his parents, who
first located in Grand Rapids and re-
sided here until 1873, when they NOV
ed to the town of Hansen, Wood coun-
ty. They have resided there ever
since. His father, Philip Bean, is the
we'll known resident Of that town who
has served the county as County Urea
surer, and has held many other offices
OF trust and the family are recogniz-
ed as highly respected citizens in that
part of Wood county. Ever since w.
H. Bean has arrived to mans estate
he has been farmer most of the time.
At intervals he logged and numbered
and ran al general mercantile store
and was postmaster for a period of
eight years in Hansen. At present he
IS operating livery and dray line in
Vesper, and has been a resident of that
village for the past seven years. He
has been chairman of the town of
Hansen and treasurer, two terms each:
IN fact he has been quite a prominent
business man in the town of Hansen
and village of Vesper. He now asks
the Republican party, of which he has
been life member, to nominate and
elect him as county clerk of Wood
County, and he promises to serve them
with efficiency and care. Mr.. Bean
has many of the qualifications that are
necessary to make a popular county
official, and has the best wishes of his
many friends for the run he is now
making for the nomination.

more democratic control of govern
ment. The aristocracy Of organized
aggrandized wealth and of crafty pol
itical plutocracy knows Senator La
Toilette for it's uncompromising foe.
1t never sleeps. 1t is after him now.
His fall will mean triumph of money
and privilege in America.
Of course it will not fight fair-this
secret power that stalks in every state
seeking to sweep brave clean men
from politics. Senator La Toilette will
have to meet lies, he will have to fight
against half truths twisted into vi
cious falsehoods. He will have to stand
against malice posing as patriotism,
and he will have to combat not mere
ly open bribery, but corruption mask
ing as state pride and national honor
Yet he will win. The good sense
and good judgment of the people of
Wisconsin has been too often tried to
admit of doubt. And when he wins
what victory it will be-not mere
ly for Wisconsin but for America.

Phillip VS.. McGOvern.

From Stevens Point Journal:-F.
E. McGovern, in his efforts to return
to the governors chair, is the politi-
cal man-without-a-c country in Wis
consin. The conservative Republi-
cans are lined up behind Gov. Philip
The regular Progressive element has
endorsed W. II. Hatton and given him,
it is claimed, the benefit Of the Pro-
gressive orangization. McGovern
must therefore depend upon his own
efforts and such personal following as
he can attract.
It appears that McGovern seeks to
still further disrupt the long-dis-
tracted Republican party in the state
and create a personal faction which
he can head and use as a stepping
stone to office and honors. There
has been much talk OF increasing
harmony in the Republican ranks
since the campaign of 1914 that
elected Mr. Philip governor. Nc
Governs persistence in pushing his
personal ambitions at the expense
of his party means further division
if any considerable number of vot-
ers follow the ex-governor in his at
tempt to come back.
Progressive, of whom McGovern
claims a share, are heard saying they
much prefer Mr.. Philip to Meow
ern as the states executive.

FORESTERS
HAVE BIG PICNIC
Grand Rapids Foresters Win From
Altdorf in Ball Game, 5 to 3.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
The annual picnic of the Grand
Rapids Foresters was held at the
Elm Lake Cranberry marsh at the
home of Charles Whipfi About 200
attended the big affair and it took
many autos to carry a good part of
them. Thirty chickens were used to
make the chowder and there wasn't
enough left after the hungry lodge
men got through, to feed a sparrow.
Henry Smith was the chef and he ce1-
tainly did himself proud. It is said
the soup was par excellent The wait
ers were Oliver Trudell, Joe Limp,
E. N. Pomainville, Matt Schligg and
Joe Wheir, Sr.
Matt Schligg was the master of
ceremonies and officer of the day. This
great office was conferred upon him
because he was born and grew up in
Altdorf and therefore was at home
among the natives. Political history
has 1t that Matt was the first mayor
of Altdorf-and the last-his old
friends and constituents were all glad
to see him. Ex-Mayor Schligg made
a speech-as eX-mayor he made the
speech Of welcome and as master of
ceremonies he responded for the pic
nicers. His remarkes were received
with vocifirous applause. 1t is fur
Their said that Matt was elected mayor
on the prohibition ticket.
The Rev. Father Reding of Grand
Rapids, the Rev. Father Willitzer of

of Nekoosa were present at the pic
mic.

SEWER ON
BAKER STREET

Most of the property owners on Ba-
ker street between the Library build
ing and Eighth street north have sew
er connections now and they object tc
being taxed for a useless sewer on
Baker street.
The city has let the contract to w.
I. Jones to put one in and the prop
erty owners will have to pay their
proportionate share of the expense.
They feel that the city should stand
the expense alone. This street is to
be paved and the sewer and water and
all lot connections put in before the
work Of paving is done.

Claus Johnson, the we'll known re
tired farmer, whose picture appears
above, is a popular candidate for the
office of County Treasurer on the Re-
publican ticket at the September 5th
primaries. He has been a resident of
Wood county for fifty years, most of
this time has been spent on a farm in
the town of Sigel where he has raised
his family and been an active business
man. He has filled, acceptably, many
town Offices and is we'll known and
we'll liked. He is now encouraged by
his Republican friends and neighbors
to seek this office. 1t is generally
conceded that he will be nominated
and elected with his ticket. If elect
ed, we know he will serve Wood coun-
ty efficiently and make a popular Of

Jimmy's Record.

One of the prettiest base ball games
seen on the local national pastime lot
in many day took place yesterday
afternoon when the Grand Rapids
shut out the varigated assortment of
players gathered by Stevens Point to
wallop them.
Robinson Cruso's friend Friday, was
back on second base for the Pointers
and he did not get hit Sunday. Once

here, but he has been perfectly salts

day is real sport and we like to see
him play here.
Not only did the Pointers not ge1
a run, but they couldn't even get a
hit off Jimy's stuff. Devine was all

chance and as usual, he took it and

yers say, only once was the ball hit

Stevens Point men did at bat, because
all one has to do is make a big o.

For Member of Assembly.

Byron T. Nottingham of Arpin,
has been convinced that it was his
duty as a good citizen and upright
Republican in Wood county, that he
suffer himself to be used by his par
ty and friends as a candidate for the
Assembly from Wood county. He has
reluctantly submitted and is the only
man seeking that office on the Repub-
hcan ticket before the September pri-
maries. We extend our right hand of
fellowship and shall be glad to do
our little to help him to the office.
We have enjoyed his acquaintance
for the past ten years and always
found his head and heart in the right
place. Since his advent in Wood
county eleven years ago he has been
successful farmer, merchant and
postmaster. He has been faithful and
efficient in the discharge of his every
duty. We commend him to the voters
Of Wood County as being we'll quail
fed for the office he seeks. Be sure
that his name is on your ballot at the
September primaries.

William Allen White on Senator La
Toilette.

From Edgerton Eagle:-The follow
ing editorial on Senator LaFollette an
peared in the issue of July 10 of the
Emporia Gazette. The editorial was
written by the owner of that paper,
William Allen White, one of the lead
ing progressives of the country. The
editorial follows:
The election of a president is no
more distinctly a national matter
than the reelection of Senator Rob
ert M. LaFollette in Wisconsin. For
no public official in the White House,
on the supreme bench or in Congress
IN generation has been more truly
and worthily national public servant
than Senator LaFollette No section.
no class, no state, no cult or creed or
even party, has been able to win his
support as a United States senator.
away from a broad, courageous. in
telligent conception of the duty to this
whole nation. His record vote is a
guide IN the Senate to the brave, wise
statesmanlike course in every crisis.
Robert LaFollette is by odds, the big
gest man in the United States Senate.
He has seen more of his demands met.
more of his ideals realized, more of his
plans mature into reality than any
other senator who has been in public
life in this generation.
Moreover, he has seen these de-
mands met, ideals realized and plans
mature, not by sitting idly by and
hoping; but by fighting with all the
ardor of crusader and all the intelli-
gence of trained political general.
With a record of political victories
his career has been and not once has
chance favored him. Every fight has
been won upon its merits, after
severe contest. He has hit the enemy
line at its strongest point, and has
gone thru. So he is battle Scared and
weighted with enemies. But his enc
mics are his best recommendations.
His scalps are his laurels.
For not once has he ever lined up
with special privilege. Always has
he been fighting for more equitable
economic conditions for the people;
always has he stood for broader and

Candidate for Register of Deeds.

Henry Ebbe of the town of Mason,
Wood county, the only candidate for
Register Of Deeds on the Republican
ticket was in the city Friday, looking
after his political interests. He called
upon many of his friends and ac-
quaintances and he received a cordial
greeting wherever he went Henry
made run for the same office at the
primary two years ago, but lost out
for the nomination by small major
ity This time he will be nominated
and if the Republican County ticket
carries this fall he will be elected
along with all the rest of the candi-
dates. There is a general feeling that
the entire Republican ticket from the
President down to Coroner will be
elected in Wood county this fall.
