There may be another boar equally as good in

wonderful back and few bears Of the breed have
better or deeper hans. Those Of our readers who
expect to show bears Of this age at the state fair

Galesville Republican: When Gov.
Philip, Senator Bosshard and former
governor McGovern get into the cam
paign the public will hear variety Of
political arguments. Gov. Philip will
tell of his efforts to reduce state ex-
penses. Senator Bosshard will have
to explain why he fought every move
of the governor and insisted on tax
eating methods. McGovern will en-
deavor to explain why taxes scared four
years under his administration and how
ne would bring about a change unless
he abandoned his former extravaganza
methods. Gov. Philip has much the
easiest job of the three. McGovern
has been tried and found wanting.
Bosshard has record for waste. Phil
ipp has worked for and talked for tax
reduction, both before and after cleo
ton.

Unless all signs fail, the man who
has to earn living for himself and his
family is going to make his protest next
November, against turning this coun-
try into dumping ground for the man
ufactured products of Europe. The re
publican party believes that the Amer
lean market belongs to the American
manufacturers, the American business
men, 1.-the American farmer and the
American working men who live here,
buy here and pay taxes here. 1t does
not believe in turning that market over
to the manufactures and workmen of
foreign countries, which is just what
the present democratic tariff law does.

The CENSOR notices that number of
papers have made the erroneous state
ment that at next falls election it will
be determined whether the state con-
stitution shall be amended to permit
sheriffs to serve more than one consec-
utive term. That is mistake. The
last legislature adopted such an amend
ment. but it must be adopted by two
legislatures before being submitted to
the people for their approval.

know the difference between hard
clean playing and rough, dirty
playing.
Players sometimes trip, p,holdand

sunless corrected, gains a firm
shold on the player and can be
changed only with great difficult

one who thinks and acts spontan-
eously. Excellent players arc Of
