MAY Be MANY
IN THE FIELD

The state papers are mentioning
Lieutenant Governor E. F. Dithmar
and others as possible candidates for
the United States senatorship to sue
coed the late Paul o. Husting. Mr..
Dithmar will have much encourage
ment from his progressive friends, be-
ing one of the leaders in that wing Of
the Republican party. He has ably
filled the office of lieutenant governor
and friends in the legislature will give
him much support in case he becomes
a candidate.
The question will probably be set
tied by a special election, the primary
to be followed by the regular one.
Among the others mentioned by the
Republicans are Governor E. L. Phil
ipp of Milwaukee; former Governor
Francis E. McGovern, Milwaukee; w.
H HattOn of New London; John M.
Whitehead of Evansville; Max Jeffries
of GAINESVILLE and Irvine L. Lenroot,
Superior.
Among the Democrats mentioned
are Joseph Martin of Green Bay; DAN
iel Grady Of Portage; George Holton
of Oshkosh, and Joseph e. Davies of
Madison.

Oh, God, how mysterious, and how
strange are Thy ways,
To take from us this loved one in the
best of his days"
1T is sad that one we cherish
Should be taken from our home,
But the joys that do not perish
Live in memory alone.
All the years we've spent together;
All the happy golden hours,
Shall be cherished in remembrance,
Fragrant sweets from memory's
flowers

friends and neighbors, who assisted
us during the illness and death of our
loved one; for the beautiful floral
etc. Especially do we wish
