If Mr.. Hays had emulated the man.
ners and methods of Governor Cox,
he would have yelled out that Cox
was in cahoots with the gin-mills and
was trying to get himself elected by
the votes of the "Wets.n But being
discreet and truthful gentleman he
contented himself with laying before
the Senate committee two authentic
letters from the president of the New
Jersey Association of Liquor Inter-
ests to prominent liquor firm, say
ing:
The organized liquor trade of New
Jersey has set out to do its part to-
ward the election of James M. Cox
as the next President of the United
States. The nomination of Co
vernon Cox for the Presidency by
the Democrats is a big victory for
our interests. Governor Cox is a
pronounced "Wet" and he can. be
relied upon to approve an amendment
to the Volst4ad act. = 1t is now up
to our trade organizations to stand
unitedly behind the ticket of Cox
and Roosevelt. Jump in and help
us fight. Give as much as you can
afford.
There is no disputing the authen-
ITCHY of these letters, or of the fact
that the Hon. James Nugent, of New
Jersey, who has never been sus-
pectad Of hostility to the Association
of Liquor Interest, was one of the ring
Of bosses that secured the nomination
of Governor Cox at San Francisco

ARE POTATOES TO REMAIN II
THE GROUND?

Madison, Wis.-The Division of
Markets have received a letter of
which the following is copy, which
suggests a sinister scheme for keep
ing up the price of potatoes.
Don't know as your department
is concerned but report comes from
the potato district of the state, that
men are buying fields and instruct
ing the farmer not to dig them at all.
The party said he saw a man near
Tomahawk sell eight acres for $3.50
and he was forbidden to dig them.
This should be stopped in some way"
The Division certainly is concerned
in matters of this kind but before it
can do anything, more definite in
formation must be furnished. Many
such reports are often heard or read
but they are always accompanied by
the statement that party said
he heard of potatoes being destroy
ed," or "a report comes" and etc.
This Division has heard of some of
these supposed cases of food being
wasted or destroyed, and has traced
them down and in all cases there was
nothing to the case These stories
of carloads of food being destroyed
to keep up prices are nothing bu;
bunk and are rumored around per.
iodically by propagandists OF one
type or another.

The Job of moving the du Pont
houses in this city to Duluth has
practically been completed, the last
of the cars having been loaded during
the past week and the materials
started O nthe way for Duluth.
The houses moved were those erect
ed in the east part of the city by the
du Pont company during the year
1918. the houses having been erected
to house the workmen at the du Pont
plant during the war, but as the war
terminated before the houses were
completed, many of them were never
occupied.
After the close of the war the
houses were offered for sale and were
purchased by the Marshall Wells
company of Duuth, and the houses
were dismateled in sections and
shipped to Duluth where they were
rebuilt. : The work of moving the
houses has taken the greater part
of the summer and has furnished en-
ployment to a large force of men,
and a big force has also been en-
ployed at Duluth in erecting the
houses again.
At Duluth the Marshall-Wells
company own a tract of land in
Hunters Park ard it was on this
land that the houses were erected
again. There were about 79 houses
in the bunch, some single residences,
two duplex cottages and some double
story duplexes.
The job of moving the houses and
re-erecting them again was { big
one, but it was accomplished without
incident by the Marshall-Wells COM
pany.

Anchor Shipbuilding Company OF
this city is about ready to start doing
business, the quote of stock necessary
to permit the company to legally
transact business, having been sub
scribed for, and according to informa-
ton given out this week the COM
pany will be in shape for doing busi-
ness by the latter part of the present
month or the early part of October.

time been on the lookout for mach
merry necessary for the yard and
this will soon be ordered and the con-
struction of the machine shops and
other buildings will be started.

sight as soon as they are able to
handle same and it is the sexpecta-
ton that as soon as the yard is
started that a number of men will
be given employment.
The company officers have work
ed faithfully to put over this COM
pany and they are entitled to good
deal of credit for their persistent
efforts. The starting of the ship

ONLY FOUR APPEAR AT PRI-
MARIES
Three Wards of City Fail to Show
Any Democrats. Socialists Dis
appear Entirely at September Pri-
maries. Flock to Republican Party.


Where are the Democrats of Wash
burn? Have they all punched their
own party and flocked to the Republi-
can ranks? The September primar-
les would indicate that there are but
few in the city at the present time,
although four years ago they made
quite a showing.
InSthe city of Washburn but four
Democrats voted their own ticket,
two appearing from the second ward,
one from the fifth ward and one from
the sixth ward. The first, third
and fourth wards of the city had no
democrats at the primary, although
these wards have people living in
them who profess to represent the
Democratic party.
Likewise the Socialists of the city
have disappeared, and in the primary
there was. not a single ballot cast
for this party. Some of the ballots
cast in the Republican primary in
dicated that the voters had socialistic
learnings for these ballots contained
the names of socialist candidates,
and the same was true of the Demo-
Gratis in few instances, but in most
cases the straight Republican ticket
was voted.

PLATFORM CONVENTION NEXT
WEEK

MADISON, Sept. 13.-Interest in
politics centers around the coming
Republican platform convention which
will be held here September FL. Ev-
cry effort is now being made to ascer-
tain what forces control the coming
state convention. In number of the
districts candidates, endorsed by the
Non-partisan Leagues have been re-
nominated. These candidates are said
to be in favor of endorsing the prin-
ciples in the platform enunciated by
John j. Blaine who has been nom-
mated as the Republican candidate
for governor. The fact, however, that
there are number Of hold-over sem
ators and a number of members of
the legislature renominated in other
districts would indicate that radical
platform is not to be expected.
Under the terms of the law all
parties in the state hold state conven-
tions in Madison on September 21st.
The conventions of the Democratic
Prohibition, and Socialist parties will
be prefunctory. The making of the
Republican platform promises to be
the star action in the political field OF
that day.
The convention will be convened
at noon on the 21st and after organ
ization and appointment of commit
tees will adjourn. Usually the plat
form is not ready for adoption before
midnight.
No one has as yet been suggested
as a possible candidate for state chair
man. This position has been held by
George E West, Milwaukee He will
retire, however, and a new man must
be selected for the position. There is
some likelihood that one of the pres
sent state senators might be chosen
Prior to the election of Mr.. West the
position had been held by state SEN
ator.
It is understood that the Republi-
can convention will be called to order
by Cameron Frazier Menomonee Falls
secretary of the state central COM
mittee. Mr.. West is now in the Ori-
ent and will not be back in time to
preside over the first delibertions OF
the convention.

MANY ATTEND FROM THIS
CITY
Finest Exhibit of Agricultural Pro-
ducts and Stock Held in Years.
Amusement part of Program En-
tertains Visitors.

The annual Bayfield, County Fair
which was held at the Fair grounds
at Iron River on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday Of last week was the
best exhibit of agricultural products
and stock that has been had in years
and the attendance at the fair was
record breaker
All departments were we'll filled
with exhibits and the showing made
was a creditable one to the Associa-
ton and to the officers. The ex-
hibit of stock was the largest held
in years and the buildings were al
together too small to house the en-
tries Of stock and many OF the
animals on exhibit could not be pro-
vided with shelter
The stock barn was crowded with
cattle of all grades, and the tent
used for the exhibit of sheep was
also crowded to capacity, In the
poultry department the exhibit was
not as large as it should have been
and this department of the fair has
been going down.
The main exhibit building, where
the exhibits of grains, grasses,
agricultural products, fruits, and
school and fancy work was held, was
crowded to overfowing. All ex-
hibits were exceptionally fine and at
tracted the attention of the throngs
during the three days. 1t is doubt
full if a better showing was made &c
any of the fairs held in this part of
the state, for the exhibits could not
be better and it demonstrated that
Bayfield, county is able to hold it's
own when producing crops.
The amusement part Of the pro-
gram as arranged by the officials
consisted of aeroplane flights by
Wilbur Larabee, high wire perform
ing, horse races, auto and motor
cycle races, and a -go-round
for the children.
Friday was Washburn day and
hundreds of people from this city
made their way to Iron River to see
the big fair. The crowd on Friday
was the largest the Bayfed County
Fair has ever experienced. Rain
interferred with the amusement pro-
gram on Friday but complete pro-
gram was given on Saturday when the
fair closed.
The Fair officials are well salts
fed with the fair this year and with
the attendance and with the showing
made. Bayfield, county's annual
agricultural show is getting to be
known throughout the state as one
of the best fairs in this part of the
Northwest.

The excelsior plant of the Wash
burn Manufacturing company will be
ready for operation some time the
latter part of this week or he early
part of next week according to Su-
perinte ndent George r. Moore.
The machinery for the plant ar
rived the latter part of last week and
is being installed this week and as
soon as this work is completed the
factory will begin operations.
1t has been planned by the Wash
burn company to have their plant in
operation long before this time but
the non arrival of the necessary
machinery held them. up
The Washbu1n Manufacturing
company have large supply of stock
on hand and more is being cut daily,
SO. the plant can run steadily without
interruption after it begins opera
tions.
The plant will employ from a dozen
to twenty men and it is the inten-
ton of the company to double the
capacity as soon as possible.
The excelsior plant is an import
ant one to this region, for besides
furnishing employment to a num-
Der of men, it will also give the
farmers of this region an opportunity
to market their poplar poles and
other woods as they clear their
lands 1t will result in more lands
being cleared-up.

Fair Play, propagandist for the
vets, tells us that, at recent fire
in Orange, N. j., the brewery whistle
failed to blow, and the engineer ex-
planned the omission by saying, since
the brewery was turned into candy
factory he had not steam enough to
toot. This calamity we can bear
with equanimity.. Since the exist
of booze, thousands of fires of hell
have died for want of fuel in mere
humans. Some thousands of another
sort have been kindled on hearthstones
long cold. Flames of family affec-
ton have burst out where formerly
the brewery left nothing but ashes
and bitterness. Fair Play says the
liquor business is dead "for the time
being" Note his hope of resurrec-
ton. There is yet much business to
be done, O all We haters of the traffic.
