w. III. HattOn for Governor.

Progressive Republicans in the state
are pretty well aware of the fact that
F. E. McGovern's candidacy is prin-
cipally to help out Philips nomina-
ton for Governor However we be-
lieve the Progressives Gan see be-
tween the rungs Of the ladder and
will not be caught mapping. They see
and comprehend that if they want to
succeed in this falls campaign they
must vote for W. H. Hatton, the con-
ference candidate, and the best equip
ped man for the place. His legisla-
tive experience, his business career,
and his education especially fit him
for the Governorship. No Repubi-
can need apologize for his candidacy
either Of the stalwart or progressive
branch of the party.

Senator Monk Here.

Senator r. w. Monk. of Neillsville,
was in the city today looking after his
political fences While in the city he
called at this office. He says he found
his fences pretty solid and that Pro
gressives are standing for progressive
candidates more tenaciously then they
have ever before. Philip and his stall
wart associates are not fooling the
people one bit. Their cry of economy
is well understood by the farmer and
laboring man. Mr.. Monk is going
through his district calling on the peo-
pie telling them what he has done ana
what he will do if sent back to the
Senate. He feels that his record is
known to the people and it is up t.
them to pass judgment. He says fur
ther that the outlook is encour-
aging. He expects to spend the rest
of the week in this end of Wood
county.

SO would cost more than a new bridge.
Leave well enough alone. Build the
new bridge above the Witter Hotel.

If one wagon bridge across the Wis
consin river in Grand Rapids is a good
thing-two bridges would be better.
The business men of the upper end Of
town are not jealous or selfish, but
they feel that there is no possibility
Of further growth up the river as long
as we have only one bridge. Another
bridge above the Witter Hotel would
do the business. The present bridge
will take care of traffic as it is for 20
years more if new bridge is erected
three blocks up river from the pres
ent one. Everybody votes aye, but
John. He is too selfish you know.

Another Bridge.
county.

The present wagon bridge spanning
the Wisconsin river at this point is
in splendid condition and can be kept
SO for years to come by the necessary
repairs which can be kept up as time
passes. A new bridge farther up the
river is now a necessity to relieve the
present and constantly increasing
traffic and business growth. The bust
ness men and property owners of the
other part of the city, want new
bridge to be located just above the
Witter Hotel on the east side and just
below the Consolidated w. P. & P.
Co.'S mill on the west side. The river
at this point is shallow and rock bot
tom. Here new bridge 60 or 70
feet wide with Il foot sidewalks could
be provided for and constructed of
stone and concrete that could be used
as a street. It's cost would be less
than the replacing of the present
bridge.
Why destroy the present value of
this bridge? 1t will serve its pres
ent purpose for years. Vine street
is too narrow to care for any more
business than it now has. A new
bridge would not destroy any present
value or service in the old bridge, or
would adjoining property at either
end suffer in value. Why not expand
and enlarge business possibilities by
charging commercial possibilities in
the city. One bridge is all right so
is one street or highway. Two bridges
are better than one and so on. Don't
contine your vision to one thing.
Make room for your neighbor. An
other bridge located some where above
the present one would add greatly to
the commercial interests of Grand
Rapids. Think it over in broad I'M
selfish light and you will see the pos
sibilities of it as we do. Don't con-
fine everything to one spot. Breadth
and volume is what we want.

errors MAKE
I GAME EASY
Visitors Profit by Two or Three Seri-
Gus Errors Made by Locals.

A few errors lost the game for the
local team yesterday when Grand
Rapids carried off the honors of the
day by score of to p.
The Merrill team started off in
fine shape, making their two runs in
the first inning. Everything looked
good, but in the last part of the sec
ond inning, a wild throw resulted in
three runs for the visitors
The local team failed to hold them
down, and four more men were pas
ed the home plate before the game
was called.
Grand Rapids has one of the
strongest teams in the state, but til
two or three disastrous errors by
Merrill players, gave the visitors an
easy victory.-Merrill Herald.

PARADINGUNDE
FALSE COLORS

The Stalwart candidates are parad-
ing under false colors. They are
everywhere advertised as the "Repub-
llcan candidates." their headquarters
are labeled Republican Headquart-
ers;;" their platform, the "Republi-
can Platform" Mr.. Jeffris is adver-
tised as the candidate for United
States Senator on the ticket with the
Republican nominees for President
and Vice President, and he and his
friends are apparently endeavorirc to
create the impression that he is the
only candidate for the Republican
nomination for that office.
These tactics are dishonest and mis-
leading. They look like attempts to
obtain votes under false pretenses.

VANDALISM
SPIRIT

The young people who visited the T.
E. Nash residence grounds recently
at night and left the gates open so
that the cows could get into the gar
den and shrubbery could be in very
much better business than doing those
things which make it possible to des-
troy what has cost a great deal of Ia
Dor and money to make beautiful. Such
carelessness and Indifference on the
part of young people should be sew
erely punished and taught lesson.
There IS no excuse for such conduct.
If it should occur again the offenders
will be prosecuted.

! Republican" But where does the
state central committee derive the
| power to call a nominating conven-
ton? The law which authorizes the
selection of party committees also de-
| fines their powers and duties, but the
calling of conventions for the purpose
| of selecting party candidates is not
among them. On the contrary, the
law distinctly provides that party
candidates shall be chosen at a pri-
mary.
Compare the Stalwart methods with
those of the Progressive Republicans.
Did the latter ever parade under
fasle colors? Did they ever attempt
to ride to victory on the coat tail of
the presidential candidate? Did they
ever call theirs the Republican Tick
ct" before the primary? No, never.
Not even when they controlled all the
machinery Of the Republican party
within the state.
The use Of the party name before
the primary, in the manner described,
cannot be justified by any existing
moral or statute law. Governor Phil
ipp and his followers are guilty of
the most fragrant chicanery They
merit the contempt of all loyal patri-
otto citizens who believe that parties
should be used as means to cacuro
good government, not as expedients
to enable irresponsible self-seekers to
ride into office

CONCRETE PIERS
STARTED

The carpenter work of framing the
new piers for the Consolidated Water
Power & Paper Co.'S dam is approach
ing completion and the concrete work
will probably commence today. They
have four of these new piers to put
in and they are to be erected on a
concrete foundation that is already
completed forty wide and 300 feet
long. This work is progressing nicely
and it is hoped that the entire work
will be completed on or about Deem

AUTOMOBILE AGE

This is truly the automobile age
when it is possible for a man to sit
on the front porch of his home in beau
tiful weather to see automobile tour
ing cars loaded with sightseers go by
bearing penants from nearly every
state in the union. It is a common
thing to see cars go by from Indiana,
Ohio, New York, Minnesota, Dakotas,
Illinois and many other states. 1t
goes to prove that many owners of
cars take their vacations by travelling
through the country sightseeing.

We are not surprised that John
judges us by himself. Selfshness ap-

faith. Not ours. Naturally because
his office building and printing office
establishment is just few feet away
from Vine street where the present
bridge lands on the east side, new
bridge therefore he does not want.

According to the spirit Of the primary
law, Governor Phillip, Mr.. Jeffris,
and the other Stalwart leaders are
candidates for the Republican nomi-
nation for the respective offices they
seek, but they will not be the candi-
dates of the Republican party unless
they are nominated as such at the
primary on September 9Th. The dis
tinction is obvic-5. They can offer Ito
valid excuse for uaurp:ng the party
name before the prinaar.r.
But this is not the first offense of
its kind that was perpetrated by the
leaders Of this faction In every DO
itical contest since 1904 they tried
to use and make capital of the word
Republican" In 1904, after the Sd
preme Court denied to Mr.. Jeffrs and
his discredited fellow boilers the right
to call theirs 'the Republican tick
e." they adopted the name National
Republican" in an attempt to hitch
their goodwill to the Roosevelt band
wagon. In another campaign they
called themselves f'Taft Republicans"
for reasons that are obvious; later
they became the Regular Republi-
cans" probably to hide their irregu-
larities.
In the present campaign they are
even less scrupulous. They say that
the conventions which named their
candidates were called by the Repub-
lican State Central Committee and
therefore they have right to be called
