The candidacy of A. w. Sanborn, OF
Ashland for the Republican nomination
for representative in Congress gives
the voters of the Eleventh District the
choice of a trained legislator, law
maker with eight years experience in
the Wisconsin Senate.
The only Republican candidate with
record of legislative accomplishments
is A. w. Sanborn.
Sanborn makes no appeal to narrow
prejudice. He asks only that he be
judged by his services in the cause OF
labor, agriculture and the Wisconsin
home.
His work as law maker has been
constructive and permanent. 1t has
withstood assaults in the highest
courts.
The voter can weigh his deeds
against the promises of untried and
unframed candidates.
The Workingmen's Compensation
Act, the Railway Employees Liability
Act, Woman's Minimum Wage Law
the Uniform Divorce Law, the Farm
ers' Cooperative Law are all firmly
fixed on the Wisconsin Statutes and
are monuments to the usefulness OF
the man to the nation.

Milwaukee, Aug. 1.-THE annual
Fall Automobile Show at the State
Fair will he held in the Automobile
building as usual. 1t is impossible to
make the annual Auto Show any big
ger this year than it was last year,
for the reason that the display of mo-
tor cars is confined to the Automobile
building, the largest structure on the
Fair grounds, no other space being
available for expansion.
Despite rumors that have been given
nationwide circulation, production of
passenger cars will be continued at an
output as nearly equal to the demand
during the coming year as supply of
labor and material will permit. There
has been. and there will be, no restric-
ton upon the manufacture of automo-
biles beyond that brought about by
the reduced demand caused by the de-
parture of SO many young men for
the front The normal demand under
war conditions will be taken care of
by the various manufacturers, and the
balance of their output devoted to war
work
The State Fair Auto Show will il.
lustrate this fact. 1t will further il
lustrate what a wonderful business
the motor car industry has grown to
be. 1t will demonstrate to the farmer
that efficiency on the farm has been
due to the speed obtained and the

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
(Conttnaed From Page u
Pennsylvania.
LANCASTER, Pa. Dec. IL,

LANCASTER, Pa. Dec. IL, 1918.
Conditions being favorable, the to-
bacco growers of Lancaster county
have commenced stripping this years
crop, the largest in acreage, as in
weight, ever grown in this county.
From present indications, it will not
prove as profitable to the growers by
several million dollars as the 1917 crop.
The crop has cured satisfactorily, re-
cent cold weather having given to the
stalks the finishing touches needed, and
put the tobacco in fine shape for han
ding.
Help is plentiful for the warehouses,
but it is not wanted, there being little
doing now at these places.
This years crop, in all probability,
will be bought up by leaf firms, in
which. event the tobacco will be bought
solely on its merits, crop by crop, after
careful inspection, as it will be bought
for marketing.
There is no mistaking the attitude of
local packers on the question of price.
Recently news of several sales of new
crops have gone around, but when eff
forts were made to verify them, the
names of growers and packers could
not be learned, which leads to the sus-
picion that some interested parties are
circulating the news, for, of course,
the prices named are always above
twenty cents.
