the session at home here, and at
the opening of the session in his
second term went down and
drew his pay and came back and
stayed home till the papers came
out with the article Where is
Duffy" Probably many of the
voters think he spent his time
at Madison"
For the past three weeks or
more Duffy has been 'hot-foot-
ing" it over the county trying
to warm up interest in his favor
for the job that pays but $500
per session and that costs him
dou ble that. If he is so anxious
to serve the people there are
other ways in which he can do
it without loss to himself.
The question to te decided by
the voters is Downs or Duffy?
Their names will appear on the
Repu blican ticket in the first
column. Frank Downs stands
right on the war question and
lon all other questions. His son
was one of the first to enlist in
the service of his country when
war was declared. Much of
Mr.. Downs time has been de-
lvoted to war activities and he
is not seeking the office of As
'sem blyman for himself but as
the wish of hundreds who have
asked him to make the race.
The question is up to the
voters to decide next Tuesday.
| If you think Duffy was wrong
and Downs will be right put a
cross x after the name of Frank
Downs on the Republican ticket
next Tuesday.

tension Division of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin was in the city
last week making arrangements
| for special Commercial Cor
lrespondence course to be given
| in the city in the near future

twenty students in the class.
This course shows the oppor-
tunities for business building
and extension Of trade by means

etter heads, and envelopes, the
essentials of all business letters,
the strategic positions in the
letter, the use of slang and
stereotyped expressions, real
business courtesy, and good and
bad openings of business letters.

orders, acknowledgements, re-
mittances, inquiries, recon-
mendations, applications, letters

fusing credit by mail, collecting
money by letter, salesmanship
to be used in a sales letter, fol-

Voters Will Have Opportunity to
Select Their Candidates
Few Contests in This County But Some
Important Issues to be
Decided.

On next Tuesday the Septem-
Der primaries will be held at
which candidates will be nomi-
mated on the different tickets to
come before the people at the
November election.
On the state ticket there are
some hot contests, this being
especially true on the Republican
ticket where a number of candi-
dates are out for the various
Offices.
The race for the republican
nomination for Congress, from
the 18th district is also to be
warm one. There are four can
didates in the field, namely A.
P. Nelson of Grantsburg, A. w.
Sanborn of Ashland, A. D: S.
Gillett of Superior and George
M. Sheldon of Tomahawk. This
race seems to be developing into
a three cornered fight between
Nelson, Sanborn and Gillett,
with the Grantsburg man gain
ing in popularity.
The one contest which Bay
field county voters are especially
interested in is the Assembly
fight between Frank w. Downs
of Washburn and Walter Duffy
of Moquah for the Republican
nomination. Walter Duffy got
in bad with the voters through
his vote against the resolution
upholding the administrations
war program and condemning
LaFollette for his attitude and
he is now having hard time
trying to square himself with
the voters. He is crying special
interests, etc. in the hope of
drawing the attention of the
voters from his vote in the AS
sembly and from reports is get
ting along miserably poor in
doing so. On the other hand
voters are voluntarily fiocking
to Downs and offering their sup
port. 1t looks like a landslide
for Downs.
In the county there is but one
contest on the county ticket, be-
ing between Lambert of Bay
field and w. E. Trip of Trip
for the nomination for county
surveyor.
The issues are vital in the
coming campaign and the voters
should get out to the polls on
primary day to cast their vote.

DAMAGED BY FIRE
Small Blaze Closes up the Patterson
Eating House Temporarily.

The fire department. was called
out this morning at ten O'Clock
to a small blaze in the Patterson
Eating House. The fire started
under the stove and burned
through into the basement. On
account of the density of the
smoke it was difficult for the
fireman to locate the fire and for
this reason it gained some little
headway before being located.
Considerable damage was done
to building and contents by fire
and water and the Eating House
will be closed temporarily while
things are being Strengthened
up.

Lest we Forget

Walter Duffy, candidate for
Assembly,. has been spending
the greater part of the time dur
ing the past week camping
at Washburn in an endeavor to
stem the tide of disapproval
which has been growing against
him, and which promises to
sweep his political ambitions
away on primary day next Tues
day.
Duffy is trying hard to get
the voters to forget what he did
at the last session of the legis-
lature that caused all of this
feeling against him, and is tell
ing them what he will do if he
is elected again. He finds it
hard to get listeners and as each
day rolls by he feels the political
ground slipping from underneath
his feet and he is beginning to
fear the result.
Duffy did something at the
last session of the legislature
which has been a nightmare"
to him ever since. For the next
few days he would be mighty
willing to have the voters forget
the past and think only of the
future-but this they refuse to
do, for with hundreds OF our
boys "overthere" the thought of
the voters will go back to the
time last March when Duffy
went wrong. They will not be
satisfied unless they can-re-
taliate.
Last winter a resolution was
presented in the Wisconsin legis-
lature condemning the action
and utterances of LaFollette on
the war and showing where
Wisconsin stood. This is the
resolution.
1.-The people of Wisconsin al
ways have and always will stand
squarely behind the national
government in all things which
are essential to bring the present
war to successful end, and we
condemn Senator Robert M.
Lafollette and all others who
have failed to support our gov
ernment in matters vital to the
winning of the war, and we de-
nounce any attitude or utterance
of theirs which has tended to in
cite sedition among the people
of our country and to injure Wis
consin's fair name before the
free people of the world"
The following is a telegram
which was sent to Walter Duffy
by the County Council of De-
fense.

Duffy ignored the telegram
and when his vote was recorded
it was against the above resolu-
ton. He was condemned for
his action by Commercial Clubs,
the County Council of Defense
and by people generally. He
was asked to resign as a member
from the County Council of De-
tense and when asked if he was
called upon to vote again on the
same resolution stated that he
would not change his vote.
Despite what Duffy says now
he cannot square his actions. 1t

Trans Mississippi Association of Mast

who has returned after attending the

The message about the wheat crop

was repeated by w. c. Edgar Of Min

bakers that even higher percentages
than the % per cent of substitution

To this suggestion the bakers OF

responded by resolution passed I'M
