MULbERGER may
RUN FOR CONGRESS
IN SECOND DISTRICT
Present Mayor of WatertOwn Has
Been Mentioned As Possible Can.
didate Who Can Turn District
Back Into Democratic Fold.

In speaking of the political situa
ton in the Second congressional dis
trict, the Milwaukee News says:
State Senator Charles Mulberge]
may be the Democratic candidate fo1
congress in the Second district Some
days ago it was announced that a de
termined effort was to be started tt
reclaim the district to the Dmocratit
column and that efforts were beins
| extended to find some candidate O.
strength to make the run in the dis
trict. 1t is said leaders of the dis
trict have decided that Senator Null
| berger will be as strong candidate
as can be placed in the field and that
| as a result he will likely be asked tc
make the run although if there are
other candidates who seem DESTROYS
OF coming out for the Democratic
nomination a conference of the lead
ers OF the district may be called to
make the selection of a candidate.
There has been some talk of the
possibility Of John Clifford of Juneau
becoming a candidate for the Second
district Democratic congressional
nomination. The statement, however
is that while Mr. Clifford would prob
ably be willing to make the run if the
Democrats of the district desired he
enter the field, still if some other
candidate is desired by the leaders
Mr.. Clifford will step aside and aid in
the campaign of whoever may be con-
sidered the strongest candidate for the
race.
Mr.. Mulberger who resides in Wa
tertown, was in Milwaukee Saturday
and when asked in regard to his pos
slble congressional candidacy for the
Second district, he said he was giving
the question little thought but that he
believed that with the right kind of q
campaign and strong effort that the
Second district could again be placed
In the Democratic column this fall.
Mr.. Mulberger said there was no uues-
ton the sentiment towards the Demo-
cratic party had changed greatly dur
ing the last few weeks since the sena-
torlal election, and that he believed a
strong Democratic candidate would
receive sufficient votes to be elected.
There is some talk in the Second
district that many Republicans who
are opposed to Congressman Voight.
the present congressman from the
district, will not support him if he is
nominated in the Republican primary
election but will support the Demo-
cratic nominee. In fact, there has
heen talk of meeting of these Re-
publicans to be held in the near flu
ture for the formulation of a state
ment as regards their attitude on Mr..
Voight. The leaders of both parties in
the Second district seem agreed upon
one point, and that is that there will
be far smaller Socialist vote in the
district this fall than in the senator
ial campaign

WOmen'S Work.

Believing that the test of the pud-
ding is in the eating, the Dane County
Woman's committee is advertising it's
new "wheatless manual by giving a
series of luncheons prepared wholly
rom recipes printed in the booklet.
The first Of these functions was held
1T the home of Mrs. Walter Aver in
Madison and all the townships repre-
5ented as we'll as the members of the
local food board were present. The
'arious dishes had been apportioned
among the Madison women but all the
iood was cooked after the printed re-
cipes. 1t is now planned to give SINH
lar luncheons in every every township
and possibly in every school district of
the county, which with it's thorough
organization is being brought into a
compact working group. One of the
best results of the work has been the
coming together Of town and country
women to their mutual benefit.

The Little Red School House.

Who could have forecast, after
reading all of the uplift literature
Which preceded the adoption of the
consolidated schools, that in so pro-
gressive a State as New York a for
midable appeal for the repeal of the
township law and the redistribution OF
the little red school house would be
made in 1882
r If there ever was a question which
seemed .one-sided it was the question
of the comparative values of the con
soIidated school, with the large staff
Of teachers, and the model school
building as against the one room, one
teacher, one-horse country ., school
with a red-hot stove in the middle
and the wind penetrating cracks at
the corners. Yet the New York Leg
fslature hears "impassioned appeals"
ii, behalf of the adjustment of the
new form of rural education and re-
turn to a system popularity believed
to be beyond any question as out of
date as the flint lock rifle and the
spinning wheel.
frPhere may be special conditions in
New York which make such fight
feasible. We cannot believe that the
consolidated school is a mistake and
that there ever will be a general re-
turn to the one-room school house.

Farmers Must Plant Grain.

If ali those who claimed eXemp-
tion upon agricultural grounds will
get busy and plant some of their
acreage in wheat and other food
stuffs the people of the United States
won't have to worry about the size
of the loaf. From what we know of
the situation in this section Of the
country there is a lot Of room for
improvement, and the farmers should
lend every energy in &he support OF
the government.
The success of The present war de-
ponds primarily upon ships, and then
upon foodstuffs. Without either the
cause for which our country is al
war will be lost regardless of the val
liant Sons in training. Almost every
farmer hereabouts should largely in
crease his acreage in> food articles
and the community as whole ought
to cease it's silly and foolish custom
of importing from other sections the
corn and hay for the animals and
the -four and other foods for men.
