LAFOLLETTE
POLITICAL.
MEETING

We understand that at the LaFol-
lette political meeting held at the Ar
mory Saturday night that the names
of George W. Mead of Wisconsin Rap
ids and that of L. NJ. Alexander of
Port Edwards were spoken of in a
disrespectful manner Both of these
men are held in high esteem and great
respect by most of the people who re-
side in Wood county and enjoy per-
sonal acquaintance with them We
know them to be of high type of
American citizens, progressive in spir-
1t, fair IN the dealings with all their
men and both possessing Christian
characters that are above reproach.
1t pains us to believe that it was ne
cessary for Senator LaFollette and his
speakers here Saturday night to bring
these names before their large audi
ence in the manner in which they did.
We further believe that the people of
this city will resent this unjust as
sault on the part of the speakers who
made use, in a disrespectful manner,
of the names of these two men. We
want Senator LaFollette to knew as
well as his political speakers who did
this uncharitable act that we resent it
IN the public press and shall do so at
the primaries. We want it understood
that political speakers when they
come into our midst cannot insult
them as they did upon this occasion
without its being rebuked by the citi-
zenship of this city. Both Mr.. Alex
ander and Mr.. Mead are highly respect
ed and thought of by all classes and
we do not believe even Socialists, Non-
partisan leaguers and Union men de-
sire any such comments to be made
against two of the greatest employers
of labor in this vicinity. Both of these
gentlemen treat their laboring men
kindly, considerably and are always
ready to help them in need and dis
tress. 1t should have been resented at
the time the assault was made. AS It
was we understand that it was not !
very cordially received by e. audi
ence and it should not nave peefl.
We have known Senator LaFollette |.

LAID At REST

The funeral of Miss Marie Splies
who died last week following an OPP
GRAFTON for appendicitis, was held from
the First Moravian church Tuesday af-
ternoon. Both the service and the fu-
neral were largely attended. The flor
al tributes lay as a silent testimonial
to the high esteem in which she was
held
Miss Splies was born on farm near
this city on Nov IT, 1900. After her
parents moved to this city she attend
ed the high school and graduated at
the age of Is years. Since graduating
she followed the occupation of book
keeper and stenographer. Besides
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Splies
she leaves two sisters, Anna and Es-
ther, city, and one brother, Rev. F. II.

theirs.

since 1870 and have always been a
great admirer of his until he took "A
stand against the declaration of war
and congress. We have always sup
newspaper ever since he ran for gov
ernor the first time and we still think
a great deal Of Senator LaFollette. He
has many traits of character to be
admired. He usually stands with the
common people in the interests of fair
play. The people of Wisconsin admire
him as a native son and they have
showered him with many offices Of
trust and responsibility. He has many
friends and cannot afford to lend his
influence to such meeting as took
place in this city in the Armory Sat-
urday night. We don't believe that
he would endorse such course if he
had been here. Senator LaFollette is
too great man and his sense of JUS
tice and right is too great to permit
anyone to speak in such manner for
him. We know that the senator would
not have permitted any such reference
to two of our most respected citizens
and employers of labor. In spite Of
the fact that we are not with the sena-
to in his fight at this primary we do
not believe it of him that he would
give his consent to such speeches. We
sincerely hope that the laboring peo-
pie as well as all people of whatever
rank will rebuke such attempt at ridi-
cule against two of our most promi-
nent citizens by voting against this
ticket at the polls.

TO FILL LOCAL
ENGAGEMENT

Bob LaFollette, candidate for re-
election to the United States senate
billed to deliver campaign speech in
the Armory in this city last Saturday
evening, was unable to be here be
cause he wanted to be present in Wash
ington to east his vote for the soldier
bonus legislation. He contends that
an unwounded veteran is entitled to
compensation on the same principle as
a wounded soldier, but not as much
in amount.
The political rally nevertheless was
held as scheduled. Phil LaFollette, a
son of the senator, appeared in place
of his father. The other speaker was
Herman Ekern, LaFollette candidate
for attorney general. Both were good
speakers and were heard by a large
crowd.
