Aid. Frank H Ray gets down to
brass tacks and specific cases today.
Ray is the Thompson Republican
candidate for nomination for alder
man in the 18th ward. Here is part
of his record as he outlines it himself:
81 voted against the Mandel Bros
department store sub-basement in
council committee. voted that way
after making personal inspection of
the endorsement and after long
talks with physicians and with ven
tilation engineers.
81 believe Mandel Bros. are sincere
in their claims that they have done
all that can be done by technical en-
gineers to make the place fire-Safe
and perfectly sanitary. Yet l don't
see how we can allow one State street
store to begin this policy. Others
would follow. Before many years
there would be thousands of State
street workers and shoppers held I'M
foreground for their days work. Some
way must be found to accommodate
State street business demands with
out going underground for shopping
space.

the city's rights to ownership of the

lawyers like Stephen A. Foster say

State Products Train Success.

The Wisconsin experiment of send

laden with evidence that northern
Wisconsin is a good place to run
farms, has proved Il great success, ac-
cording to information received here
from the Upper Wisconsin Products
special train, which has completed its
tour of Minnesota, is on tour of Iowa.
Daily speeches have brought home
to the farmers the opportunities for
northern Wisconsin advancement. Not
less than 400 have visited the train
at any stopping point during the three
weeks 1t has been on the road.
1.-The most successful advancement
Idea ever tried by Wisconsin," is the
way that i. E. Baker, Wisconsin com
missioner of immigration, describes
the trip.
The Minnesota people quickly real
lied that this was not commerce
raid upon the states adjoining Wiscon-
sin, that we were not endeavoring to
secure their residents for northern
Wisconsin, but were only trying to Sc
cure for our untitled territory those
who were planning to establish farms
in the West, North or South.
"A unique feature of the tour was
that no land agents were allowed on
or near the train in it's travels. Even
the railway, which gave the train to
the state, was not allowed to use the
trip as direct land selling medium
Wherever we had farmers hear lee
lures on Wisconsin, we pointed out
that prosperity is not bounded by the
demarkation of state geographical
boundaries, but that the prosperity of
Wisconsin will bring prosperity to
Minnesota and Iowa"

South Dakota apparently has voted
