est ideals OF American citizenship. July 4th IS intended
day of celebration, and it's general observance is
civic duty of every community that every child may
grow up to feel that Independence Day. is something
vitality concerned with their future American citizens.
Since 1908 the Review editor has voted the Demo
cratic ticket regularly and far the Harding admins
tTaton is conceInedhe would do it again In the 18th
Congressional district Democrats are hopeessy IN the
minority and rule they have had opportunity to
vote for congressman state senators and assemblymen
for the that there We're none the ticket Our
aspirations in life not Of political nature but
considerably interested in the policies held by the
who make the state and national laws For that reason
during the campaign of 1922 and perhaps longer depend
ing very largely upon how the different political parties
arise to the issues Of the day. shall vote for Republican
nominees for national and state offices. Newspapers
more IMAM lno1Vlouais are not cohpened 10 announce
their political choices, but it is difficult for them
keep their politics under cover. Personally, have
always gone the theory that every entitled to
free choice in politics much religion and far
the Review editor is concerned he has objection to
publicly stating his choice among the different candidates
and whom he intends to vote for.
For United States senator Robt M. LaFolette is
opposed the Republican ticket by DR. Garfield Of Wau-
kesha former minister and president of Carroll College
The Democrats have chosen Mrs Ben Hooper of Oshkosh
as their party candidate. LaFolette was one of the
main of change party fourteen years ago.
but at that, consider him far able man to
represent the state of Wisconsin than his male opponent
Dr. Ganeld is native Of Kentucky who prior to this year
has been sufficiently interested in the state in which
ne makes his living, to vote in it, but has always gone
back to Kentucky to exercise that privilege We admire
him for not being stay-athome voter but otherwise
his credentials to IT, S. senator very pro-
nOunced The Democrats MADE a wise political IN
selecting MIS- Hooper as candidate likely to draw
heavy VOTE but aside from the fact that she would
undoubtedly be strong and earnest opponent OF any at
tepts to let down the prohibition bars doubt if her
experience and training has been of the United States
calber.
The next office in Importance to the thinking voter
is that of congressman A p Nelson the 18th district in
cunbent has held the Office since enroot resigned to fill
senatorial chair He is an advocate of the deep water
way movement just as all Wisconsin men are. Aside
from that he has made remarkable stir congress- but
has followed the Lenroot lead in important matters,
hot
of seating NewberTy H H. Peavy of Washbum candi-
date against him. He made the run two years ago but
defeated, IN measure by lies against his personal
character, of which told to in the interests
of the Nelson candidacy In return for that and because
he has the courage to his policies various
poran things to the constituency Of his district we shall
vote for him, in preference to A. 2. Nelson.
For governor of Wisconsin two Republicans and two
Democrats named. Governor Blaine is opposed by
VIM. Morgan, now attorney general. The Democrats
have named Mayor Beny Of Lacrosse the wet candi
date and Carl ate OF Wausau to lead the dry support
ers McHeny of Oshkosh, is also independent candi
date OF the Republican party strongly committed to
much relief be obtained from the present prohbi-
ton state of AFFAIRS although Wisconsin does not make
unake the laws of the United States do see how
either he or Benty can get very far the
saloon Mr. Morgan altogether too much of the Heap
Bglnjune, type of statesman to suit u.s. and although
don't think very highly of the way that Governor
Blaine has used the pardoning power are inclined to-
ward him than any of the Others The Democrats
have heretofore been unable to make respectable show
ing with only candidate to vote for it is hard to see
how they are going to be much Of factor with the vote
split in two
For the assembly have already stated that K Mar
tin Thompson of Phelps was choice against H. M.
Mark, of Hurley holding the Office Villas county is
fairly entitled to the place according to political
and it is very important that it have there at the
next session of the legislature who is not afflicted with the
reforesation bug. Mr. Thompson is not and very cap
able in other ways so shall look further for
man to vote for assembyman.
After going this far it may be assumed that Republ-
candidates for county Offices will be favored bur-
dened with support. 1t is a correct assumption
First from the fact that the primary election laws permit
voters only ticket to vote for and which have
heretofore stated is cause of wishing to vote
ticket fully represented for all Offices Another is
that the present county officials personal friends of
ours capable officials in their respective positions and to
whom under much obligation. That does not
that have any thing but the frendliest of feel
ing for other candidates who may appear but as it
impossible to vote for them ALL shall vote for those
