ELECTION NEXT TUESDAY
CALLAHAN VS. CARY ONLY CON-
TEST IN STATE AFFAIRS
But Little Interest in City Affairs
Only Two Candidates Have OPP
position

Spripg election occurs next Tues
day. Contests are few and lack of
interest appears to be general
In the state, Aad J. Vinje has a
clear field for justice of the supreme
court--a merited recognition of his
able services upon the bench.
For state superintendent of schools,
&C. ?. Cary is opposed by John Gala
han. Cary has occupied the Office for
eighteen years. He took the place of
g mighty good educator, and it seems
that Wiseonsin's schools have not
made the degree of progress under his
control that progressive people would
like to see. Among the teachers and
educational men of the state, there is
nearly unanimous sentiment against
the present incumbent and for Gala
han. although most of them are very
guarded about giving vent to their
convictions due to the power vested
in the Office of state superintendent.
Callahan is prominent and able edu-
Gator and fraterna}ist, man of most
liberal and progressive views. His
election would be for the best inter-
est of our schools. Vote for Callahan.
Geo z. Sanford has no opposition as
a candidate to succeed himself as coun-
ty superintendent of schools-nor
should there be. His able and impair
tial administration of the duties of the
Office leaves nothing to be desired.
Throughout the county, the election
of town officers will arouse the usual
lively interest and competition, partic-
ularly for the Office of chairman.
Election in Viroqua city is very
tame and spiritless. Melville A.Smith
is without opposition for alderman in
the first ward. Clinton w. Nuzum re-
fuses to stand for reelection. No one
filed for supervisor, but the friends of
lJ.C.Anderson and J.Henry Bennett are
planning to write their names on the
ballot. |. S. Hamilton, longtime re-
preventative of the first ward on the
board, removed to the second ward
last year.
In the second ward, friends of Au-
gust E. Smith prevailed upon him
against his wishes to permit them to
circulate and file his papers as a can
didate for alderman. Alderman Mar
tin Larsen will also be candidate to
succeed himself-making the only al
dermanic contest in the city Attor-
ney c. j. Smith has no opposition as
supervisor, F. M. Baker declining to
SJdIlu lOI TeeiecblOn.
The removal of W. /. Groves makes
necessary the election of two aldermen
in the third ward. Alderman P. /.
Me Henry to succeed himself for the
long term and Eugene Helgeson as
candidate for the short term have no
opposition. The only contest for SUI
pervisor develops in this ward.-D. T.
Buchanan standing for reelection with
E. A. Wiganowsky also seeking the
honor.
