Congress he did not forget his plat
form pledges but worked for and
helped secure the passage of the
National prohibition act. The op-
posing candidates have not word
in their platforms regarding Women
Suffrage of the Prohibition amend
which the women are naturally in
terested in. Peavey is supported by
the "Wets" and is their candidate.
But now let us turn to the record
of Mr.. Peavey, during his term in
the State Legislature on matters in
which women are interested. We
will back up every statement con-
tanned herein with the Record Of the
Assembly.
Bill No. 385-a- Providing for a
minimum wage for women and
children. He was listed as not pre-
sent or not voting.
Bill No. 754-a--Prohibiting the sale
of maple syrup mixed with glucose.
He was either absent or did not vote.

vide a minimum wage of $40 per
month for teachers, He was either
not present or did not vote.

ment and public buildings. Either

in his family. He was looking after
the interests of the people all the
time.
In the county column of the pri-
mary ticket Of the Republican party
there will be four contests, namely
over the offices of County Clerk,
Sheriff, Clerk of Court and District
Attorney.
County Clerk Nels M. Oscar has
as his opponent r. w. Smith, also
Of Washburn. The voters of Bay
field County know Nels M. Qgcar
as they know a brother, for his ac-
quaintance extends to every nook
and corner fthe county where he
is known by his obliging, accomodat-
ing manner and the efficiency with
which he has conducted the office.
No man in Bayfield, county, whether
he be farmer, laborer, man or wo-
men, has ever asked Nels Oscar to
perform service for them pertain
ing to his office, or otherwise, but
that it has been done willingly, and
the voters of the county do not easily
forget this. There is no better
official in the state, no Office that is
conducted in better manner, and no
official that is more obliging and
accommodating. When war was on
Oscar devoted his services night
and day, and paid out almost his
entire salary for clerk hire, in order
to handle the immense amount of
war work which came to his Office.
His record is one of efficiency, he
has been accommodating and faithful
in his office.
For Sheriff Andy Murray is be-
ing opposed by Harry Peterson.
Andy Murray held the office of
Sheriff two years ago and was one
of the best officials in that office the
county has ever had. He will carry
Bayfield, county easily over his op-
ponent.
Frederick Bell is being opposed
by John r. Sayles of Bayfield,. Mr..
Sayles is one candidate who does
not care to be elected, having been
selected, for the place by few
Washburn friends, and he is doing
absolutely nothing to gain votes. On
the other hand Mr.. Bell is not MAX
ing an aggressive campaign, but ais
he has served the people well during
his term Of Office he will not have
much trouble in landing The nominal
ton.
Three candidates are in the field
for District Attorney, Charles f.
Morris, and A. M. Warden of
Washburn, and John j. Fisher of
Bayfield,. Mr.. Morris is well
known throughout the county
through his record of service and his
many old friends and acquaintances
will stand behind his in this cam
paign. Mr.. Fisher is new man
in the political field, but hustler
and he is making an aggressive cam
paign.

ALLOTMENT is SHORT

Madison, Wisconsin, hum
dred seventy-fve thousand barrels of
cement is the share of the short
cement product which the cement
producers can supply to the state of
Wisconsin for the balance fthe sea-
sons work in highway and bridge
construction. This fact Chief En-
gineer Hirst ascertained recently
after consultation with the produ-
GERS and the railway companies that
will furnish the transportation.
A meeting of the division en-
gineers of the Highway Commission
was then called by Mr.. Hirst and
the work in hand and that completed
was considered. 1t was found that
"a miles of concrete pavement had
been laid up to August /, and that
"a mixers were in use. For the
remainder of the season approxim-
ately 1900 barrels of cement per day
will be required. At this rate go
working days would exhaust the
states allotment. The Chief En-
gineer explained to the division engi-
neers that even if he might have had
more allotted to the Commissions
work for the remainder of the sea-
son, he would not have taken it. A
survey of the production and trans
portation situation convinced him
that ne would not be justified in TAX
ing more for highway construction,
for if he did it would be at the ex-
pense of private needs. Farmers
and others in Wisconsin, he said,
who needed small amounts could now
secure them whereas this would not
have been possible if he had Sc
cured more.

LEST WE FORGET

The Times is indeed glad that the
women of America have been ex-
tended the right of equal suffrage
for this paper has been an advo-
cate of the right of women to the
ballot and a participation in
affairs of this government of the
land of the free and the home of the
brave, for we believe it will result
in a better government.
We welcome the women voters
for we believe they will consider
candidates and the questions at is
sue and will vote an intelligent bal
lot.
But the right of women to ex-
ercise the right of suffrage at the
coming primary to be held on Sept.
7th came rather unexpectedly, and
for the next week there will be a
bid by the several candidates for the
vote fthe women, upon many pre-
texts and pleas, and you will hardly
find a candidate now that will not
say that he favored equal suffrage.
But the women are not apt to forget
who have been their friends in their
fight for the right to vote and they
will exercise their judgment accord
ingly.
In this connection we might say
word regarding the candidates for
Congress an dtheir record of things
in which women of the district
are interested.
Congressman Nelson of Wisconsin
candidate for reelection in the 18th
Congressional district of which
Bayfield, county is a part, was one
of the first in Congress to raise his
voice in favor Of equal suffrage ano
his maiden speech" after being
sworn to Office, was plea for wo-
man suffrage and he made a great
fight in order to secure the passage
of the bill which submitted the ques.
ton to the states for ratification
and which has finally given to the
women the right to choose candi-
dates at the September primary.
Congressman Nelson stands fol
the better things in government
When he became a candidate for
CONGRESS- two years ago he came cut
openly in favor of National Prohi
bition and after being elected to

Axel Johnson, leader of the "dry"
forces in the Assembly, a practical
farmer and a friend of the farmer
and the laborer, has given his un-
qualified endorsement of Frank w.
Downs of this city for member OF

known statewide on his labor record,
and the following letter indicates how
he feels regarding the reelection of

! am pleased to state that your re-
cord and practical work at Madison
during the trying session of 1913
intitles you in full measure to re-
election.

President of the Federation, under
date of June End, stated that of
tbe seven votes as listed unfavor-
able. three should not be so counted
His record as complied by the Rail
road Brotherhoods listed his as "a
votes favorable and three not favor
able. but on the three voted listed as
unfavorable there is a vast difference
of opinion. Lenroot's record on
matters pertaining to the farmers is
well known by the farmers them
selves and needs no further comment
by us. Lenroot is one of the re-
cognized leaders Of the st. Lawrence
waterway project and is needed in
the Senate to help pass this measure
which means so much to the entire
Northwest. To vote against Len
root means vote against the best
interests of the people of Wisconsin.
For Congress A. P. Nelson of
Grantsburg, should receive the sup
port of the people of the 18th Con-
gressonal district. Congressman
Nelson's nomination is assured by
much larger majority than he had
two years ago, because his record

to that branch of the National
Government. There is not one
point in Congressman Nelson's re-
cord in Congress that was not right
for the average man. Of the fifty
six newspapers in his district all but
one are supporting him. The one
is owned and controlled by his local
opponent, who by the way is mas
querading under false colors when
he asks for Republican support.
Congressman Nelson is the re-
cognized leader in the House of Re-
presentatives for the great st.
Lawrence waterway project, which
if accomplished, will make every
port on the Great Lakes an ocean
port. Bayfield, county is more in
terested in this than in the political
ambitions of one man. Vote for
Mr.. Nelson and you vote right. His
record is 100 per cent.

For Member of Assembly Frank
w. Downs, of Washburn is being op-
posed by Jake Yderstad of the town
of Lincoln. Mr.. Downs will be
nominated without doubt for he is
being backed by labor, the farmer
and the small business man every
where. Mr.. Downs served in the
last session of the legislature and
was one of the leading members,
He voted for and helped pass the
eight hour bill, assisted in passing the
farmer marketing bill and was a
staunch dry worker in the last legis-

WHERE DOES DUFFY FARM?

Two weeks ago the Washburn
News, Capt. Peavey's organ, came
out with an editorial endorsing
Walter Duffy for the State Senate
on the ground that Duffy was a
practical farmer. The Times
questioned this statement, and now
we viii prove to you just how near
the News comes to being right.
You will all remember that Duffy
first announced his candidacy
through the Washburn News for
Member of the Assembly from Bay
.Se's t1ety. Here is where Bay
held county came near getting
double-crossed, (and Peavey is for
Duffy, for Duffy has been forced
to make statement as to his
residence, and the records in the
office of the Secretary of State show
that Duffy's farm is located on West
Third street, Ashland, Wis.,, at the
home of his brother, and had he
been elected to the Assembly from
bayfield, county, then Ashland coun-
ty would have had two representa-
t1ves in the Assembly and Bayfield,
county would have been without
representation.
We cali you attention to the In
formation to Voters being nuhlishad
in several of the papers of the coun-
ty, and ask you to look up for your
self Duffy's residence, which is given
at Ashland, Wis. And the statement
of the News that Duffy is a
(practical) farmer is causing the
practical farmer to laugh.
