WILSON IS DOOMED SAYS MAJ. ALLISON Regular Republican Thinks the PrOgressives Will Be
 Found in Fold

we republicans hate to defeat Pres ident Wilson, but we will be forced to do it for the safety of the, nation said
 court, who returned last night from Chi
 csgo. where he was delegate from the Ninth district at the meeting of the regulars"
 The republican convention named an
 exceptionally strong ticket, and one which will be indorsed by the voters of
 the country in November by a large ma jority," declared Mr. Allison. There is
 no danger of the progressives putting out a ticket and we are confident that the
 great majority of the members of the four years ago will follow the lead of their chief and support Hughes in the
 coming election. We anticipate that
 there is not the slightest doubt that Hughes will receive the loyal support of Roosevelt"
 Major Allison rushed to the defense of
 the colonel and the manner in which he is alleged to have used his progressive
 supporters in an effort to browbeat the republicans into nominating him. "The people of the country who hold that Roosevelt betrayed his followers simply misunderstood his attitude" said Major Allison. T believe all the progressives will follow the colonel after the meet ing of the progressive committee which is certain to indorse Hughes and the re- publican ticket. We are confident of victory
 Major Allison, who was chosen at the district republican convention here as the delegate to the convention, was denied his seat by the subcommittee following a contest by the Mason faction which had named a negro delegate. Saunders, for the place. However, this action was later overthrown and the entire lily white ticket from this state was seated

EIGHTY-P0UND MUSKY

A dead muscallonge was found
washed up on the shores of Lac
Vieux Desert which weighed so
pounds. James Burns of Eagle River,
saw the fish and says that it was 5S
inches long without the tail as that
had been torn of. The head was i'm
mense and showed that it had often
been hooked and had broken away. 1t
is probably the big fellow which we
hooked last summer. He struck the
hook just as a bunch of weeds was
passed: the line sang a tune. being
strained to the limit; the rod was
pulled beneath the surface before the
reel could let out enough play-line.
Played the big fish for four hours
and then with a sudden jerk the line
parted and we fell backward into the
lake. Now the poor fish is dead

ELECTION DAY

Election day was the darkest, most
dreary, cloudy, wet, disagreeable
twelve hours of daylight that has been
dealt out by the weather man for
many a day Rain commenced falling
early in the morning and there was
a drizzle all day, and the lowering
clouds were so heavy that lights had
to be turned on. Democrats showed
cheerfulness, because they believed in
the old saying that such was demo
cratic weather." The city was as quiet
as a cemetery our citizens going to
their respective voting precincts and
exercising the right of every Ameri-
can citizen-to vote for the men of
his choice to fill the various offices.
One laboring man on being asked
as to how he was going to vote, re-
piled with a flash or defiance in his
eyes, 81 know how I am going to vote,
and there is no man going to tell me
what to do This spirit of independ-
ence seemed to prevail and it is
proper, as therein lies the safety of
our country.
When the shades of night settled
down upon Wausau the various head
quarters prepared to receive the cleo
ton news. Some of the small towns
of Marathon county came in early, and
all were for Hughes and the republi-
can national, state and county tickets.
There were large crowds at the Y.
NJ. c. A., where the returns were
thrown onto a screen in the gym
nasium room.
The Bells house, Wausau club and
opera house were crowded with those
anxious to hear the result. Up to II
o'clock the large states had been
heard from New York, Pennsylvania,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, and
others, all for Hughes.
This naturally made the republicans
hilarious and some commenced to eel
ebrate. and to spend what they sup
posed they had won on 80" The
cooler heads saw a turn for President
Wilson coming from the western states
and they felt that nothing was sure.
There was not a horn blown or dis
turbance on the streets during the
whole evening. Some of the more en-
lthusiastic of both parties remained up
practically all night. Wednesday morn
ing the news was all in favor of
President Wilson and all day there
was no change, and intense excite
lment prevailed. All kinds of rumors
were prevalent, first in favor of the
democrats and then favoring republi-
cans. until the people became tired of
asking. Even up to Thursday morn
ling there was some doubt. and at that
time every paper of Importance in the
country with the exception of the Mil
waukee Sentinel and the Milwaukee
Free Press conceded the election OF
President Wilson and some of the
country republican dailies do not know
vet that Hughes is defeated. The vote
of the states was as follows:

CITY COUNCIL

Owing to the general election fall
ir2 upon Tuesday, the date for hold
ing the regular meeting of the city
council, was changed to Thursday
evening 1t was a session full of bust
ness. There was a full attendance
with Mayor Marquardt presiding.
Another new fire auto truck was
recommended by the committee on
fire, to be a combination for hose,
chemicals and pumps for station No.
., and which can be used for a con-
veyance for the chief of the fire de-
parment
The claims of Carl Viergutz and
Lena Strom for damages against the
city We're settled and disposed of.
The factories and citizens in general
i'm the northern part Of the city, petit
toned the council for bridge to be
built across the Wisconsin river at
some convenient point The factory
owners wrote strong letters asking for
this bridge. stating that they were
seriously :ncOnvenienced by not hav-
ing such a bridge as under present
conditions materials had to be drawn
several miles out of the way. At one
Ct the factories the men who live on
the east SIDE mad to cross the river by
boats. The citizens asked for q bridge
to enable them to send their children
to school, cutting of long walks and
especially in winter, some being un-
able to attend at all. All admit that a
bridge at that point has been neces-
sary for the past ten years or more.
The petitioners guaranteed to raise
$1,000 towards the bridge and in addi-
tion to give a school site. The matter
was discussed, and the price of a good
steel bridge, it was thought, would
be s25.OOO but suitable one can be
constructed for about $4,000, or even
less The petition was referred to the
committee on streets and bridges.
A majority of the committee on ju-
dietary recommended an ordinance
against the operation of street cars
with only one man. The ordinance
was recommended to the city attor-
ney. The street railway company, the
past summer, has been operating with
one man. excepting on Sundays and
occasions when something was going
on in the city. The company has had
no trouble in taking care of the traf-
fc and there have been no accidents.
DIR. W. e. Zilisch and Louis C. Leak
were appointed to attend the state
meeting of the Wisconsin Anti-Tuber-
culosis association.
An ordinance regulating the build
ing of bill boards was referred, as
was also a petition to open up Adams
street from the east line of Trevitts
addition to the west line of Hoefing-
cr's fourth addition.
Tt was recommended that automatic
stokers be tried at the pumping sta
ton. It was voted to ask bids for the
installation of some from various
companies.
Tt was voted TO procure bids for
centrifugal pumps to be placed at the
Wausau Box and Lumber cos plant
for better fire protection. 1t was
stated i'm a communication to the coun-
ell that the cost would be about $1,000

A large meteor fell from the sky
Monday night and struck in one OF
the fields on the August Miller farm
which is about two miles north OF
Westfield. Nothing could be seen
where the meteor struck except hole
which is thirty-six feet deep and
about twenty-six inches in diameter
The hole is very distinct and clean

| The announcement that the Wis
consin Valley Electric Co. has pur-
chased all the interests of the Ste
vens Point Lighting Co. and the Ste
vens Point Power Co. reached Stevens
Point shortly before o'clock Mon
day and the news was soon spread
throughout the city during the even
ing. The deal was arranged at the
meetings held at Oshkosh Saturday
and at Wausau Monday. Both sides
decline to give any intimation of the
consideration.
The new owners will take over the
property promptly, as soon as some
details in connection with the deal
are completed, according to a state
ment of NJ. c. Ewing to the Journal
this afternoon.
Mr.. Ewing stated that plans for
the rehabilitation of the local plant
and lines are now being made. Con-
struction work will be started this fall
and will include the replacement of
such parts of the present system as
demand it and also the beginning OF
the new transmission line from Mosi-
nee to this city. Mr.. Ewing has sew
eral times estimated that about four
transmission lines to this city once
the work is started.
In an advertisement appearing on
another page of the Journal today
the Wausau company promises a re
duction of consumers rates to sub
stantially the same basis as charged
in Wausau and Merrill. Mr.. Ewing
did not state today just when the
new rate would be begun and whether
it would be before the completion
and opening of the new transmission
line.
A general survey of the newly ac-
quired property is to be made and
ultimately, it is understood, a good
part if it will be rebuilt. The Jor-
dan property is believed to be in
good condition, Mr.. Ewing states.
Orders for material for recon
structing the city electric lines will
be sent in this week, according to
Mr. Skies of Wausau, who has been
representing the Wisconsin Valley Co.
here. Construction work will be
started here as soon as material can
be obtained The work can continue
through the winter as was done at
Merrill last year. The company aims,
Mr.. Skies says, to remove poles and
lines off the business streets as much
as possible.
New street lamps are planned for
the city. The present local arc lamps
are stated to be seven or eight years
out of date and will be replaced by
the improved lamp now in use in Wau-
sau.
1t is expected the details of the
transfer can be completed in about
week and the new owners will then
take over the property and marage-
ment.
The capital stock of the two cleo
trio companies here is 100000 each,
according to a recent statement of
William Mainland to the Journal. One
is bonded for $125,OOO and the other
for $73.OOO.-Stevens Point Journal.

FIRST LYCEUM NUMBER

The first number of the lyceum
course for this season given under the
auspices of the Wausau Ministerial
association was heard at the Presby-
terian church Wednesday evening. The
Chicago Operatic company appeared
in a highly entertaining concert, over
which the large attendance was very
enthusiastic. This "All-Star" com
pany, which appeared in Chautauqua
here, includes Esther A. Nelson, So
prano; Frederica Gerhardt Dowing,
contralto; John B. Miller, tenor; G.
Magnus Schultz, basso; Amy Emerson
Neill, violinist; Lillian Pringle, cellist;
Lyell Barber, Pianist. Each artist is
supreme in his or her part, master
fully rendering the well chosen num-
bers which has won for them the wide
reputation they now possess. Their
program so delighted the audience that
they were compelled to respond again
and again with encore numbers.
If the following numbers arranged
for this course come up to the first
number given, this seasons entertain
ments will be an assured success, and
surely ought to be at the low prices
J The association has included the best
talent obtainable in the course, anC
! it brings each one attending in touch
with good speakers, readers and the
best musical companies in lyceum
work. A course of this kind is edu
