A republican. Senator Smith of Mich

ing the indemnity by tl0.OO0.ooo.

said Senator Smith today, because 1 am
opposed TO the treaty. I am opposed TO

oughly chilled they are taken into the
packing room. packed in barrels, la.

The dressing room was decidedly

also informed the plant handles daily
four thousand and more turkeys.
As will be seen, this enterprise

1t may not be inappropriate to re-
call some OF the services rendered to

paign now in progress. 1t is general
ly conceded that the public schools OF
Manitowoc county rank among the
best in the state. When young man,
Mr.. Kirwan was called from a teachers
position to superintend the schools oi
the county. On entering the office he
found woful lack OF system, but in q
very brief time he had thoroughly re
organized the office, placing it upon q
most efficient basis. Among the gross
evils OF those days one was significant
ly bad. IL had been a common prac-
tice TO hand out certificates regardless
OF fitness, at the behest Of pull Un-
der the new administration, this lax
and disgraceful practice was suddenly
