making them believe that large
number of republicans are goiog to
cast their ballot for the Democratic
candidate at the November election.
They know right well that their
favorite son can never be nominate d
with the Democratic support alol e,
and they have been playing hard for
the Progressive republican support
which they can never get. The
Progressives, with but few. ex-
ceptions, are all supporting the Re-
publican candidate Mr.. Hughes and
state after state which four years age
went for the Democatic candidate
will this election GO for Hughes.
Four years ago the democratic
nominee faced a split party which
accounted for his success in the
election, but the Democrats face a
different proposition this time.

Criminal Calender Has Been
Disposed of
Only fact for Cases Remain
to be Tried at the
October Term

There is every indication that
the term of Circuit Court which
is now in session at the court
house in this city will not con-
tinue much longer than the pre-
sent week. Circuit Judge G. N.
Risjord who is presiding does
not believe in the wasting of
time in having cases brought
for trial and the calendar is be-
ing dispose of rapidly as pos
sible.
The criminal calendar was
tried during the opening days
of court. The case against
Henry Weaver for violation of
the excise laws nolled, the case
against David Ravitch charged
with being a transient merchant
was dismissed without trial.
The case against Eva Smith and
Anton M. Smith, charged with
keeping a house Of ill-fame in
the city of Washburn resulted
in the conviction Of the pair.
They have not as yet received
their sentence.
In the civil case of Charles
Mitchell against the N. P. Rail-
way company Judge Risjord be-
lieved there was no cause for
action and the case was taken
from the jury.
The case of William THESE
agains t Max Helmer, a personal
injury case, is on trial before a
jury today and evidence is being
taken. It is likely that this case
will last over until tomorrow.
All jurors with the exception
of those now serving on the
above case have been discharged
and those now serving will be
discharged as soon as the case
is finished.
Only court cases remain to be
tried.

If You want to->hear a ringing
political address--one that will stir
you with enthusiasm, do not fail to
hear the address by Congressman
Lenroot at the Gem Theatre on
Monday evening of next week.
Congressman Lenroot, who repre-
sents the Eleventh Congressional
District of which Washburn is part,
is one of the ablest members of the
House of Representatives. He is
the kind of man that should be
continued in Washington to represent
the people of this district ands we
have not the slightest doubt that he
will be for many years to come.
Congressman Lenroot will give a
talk here in the interests of the
National and State Ticket and there
is not a voter in the city that should
miss the opportunity of hearing
what he will have to say.

New York, Oct. Henry F.
Cochems progressive national COM
mitteeman from Wisconsin, called on
Chairman Wilcox at the republican
national headquarters today and an
nounced himself for Hughes. Mr..
Cochems attended the meeting OF
the progressive national committee
at Chicago on June Goth and joined
with John M. Parker, Matt Hale,
cambridge Colby and the others who
opposed the action then taken by
the committee in adopting resolution
endorsing the course of Col. Roosevelt
in supporting Governor Hughes.
The above must indeed be rather
disappointing to the Democrats who
haye been claiming that Cochems
would not support the Republican
candidate, but would be lined up
with the Democrats in the present
campaign. This shows how many of
the claims of the Democrats that
the Progressives will be with Wilson
are falling fiat. The vote On Novem-
Der 7th will show plainly that the
Progressives are back in the Repub-
lican ranks.

ten to twenty per cent the wage

the prosperity brought on by the

the small advance in wage. The

keep up the interest of the public,
no matter On which side he may pin

With each day there is news that

public is being given this news
straight or not is another question.
But it seems to satisfy and keep up
the interest.
