VISIT OF STATE PUBLISHERS.

Monday afternoon of this week a
touring outfit of newspaper publishers
of this state, accompanied by their
lady friends. spent about an hour in
this city. 1t required thirty-three
autos to tote them hither. so you can
Judge of the number upwards of one
hundred.
They came here from Platteville and
dozen or more auto loads from this
city went out three miles to meet and
escort them in. The unloading took
place at the Municipal Theate, where
Mayor Brown, serving as our spokes-
man, introduced Bro. George Crawford
who gave short address of welcome.
His expressions were well chosen and
well delivered. He spoke of our aged
little city and its stability, its worth
and prominence in states history.
Messrs. John A. Kuypers, of DePere.
president of the State Press Association,
and Bert Walters of Reedsburg, re-
sponded briefly in words of appreciation
of the hospitality and good will shown
them by our citizens, and regretted
that they could not stay longer in this
grand old town.
Their regret was no greater than
ours, as they could have gathered here
enough early Wisconsin history to fill
we'll the columns of their papers for
several issues, and thus furnish their
readers with something every citizen Of
the state ought to know.
! Come again, brother publishers, but
please plan for much longer stay. The
welcome banner is always out.

A LINCOLN LIKE TALK.

Last Thursday afternoon Attorney
General Morgan. who is now a candi-
date for Governor of Wisconsin, spoke
for about an hour at the Municipal
Theatre. Because of nclement weather
and the Union Sunday School picnic at
the Memorial Park that afternoon his
audience CHANGED to be undersize. Mr..
Morgan had good, sound message.
one full of common sense. which he
presented in style that had the Lincoln
like ring to it.
There is more to this man Morgan than
some people are aware of. His frank
ness is to be admired, and his ideas,
while not new, are logical, reasonable,
simple, He chooses no other founda'
ton than that upon which Abraham
Lincoln stood. contending that the peo-
pie should halt in their widness, their
extravaganza, their greed and grating,
ignore all sms, and go back to the
simple, the upright, the wholesome
doctrines of the Republican party when
founded. That, wen say, is good Re-
publicanism, pure democracy. Believ-
ing thus, and declaring that he would
prefer going down to defeat on such a
platform than win on any other, is
ample justification for voters of. Wis
consin who favor economy and respect
for laws to vote for w. j, Morgan at
the Primary on the 9Th of September.
Touching on the wet and dry question.
Mr.. Morgan explained how il was not a
state issue, but federal government
law, part of the constitution of the
United States that any action contrary
thereto on the part of Wisconsin would
be declared unconstitutional by our
highest courts. He's right; can't you
see it
We believe with Mr.. Morgan in his
opinion that the paying of taxes semi
annually would prove more of con
yenience to the people than otherwise.
The more we know Of Mr.. Morgan
the better we like him. He is proving
himself to be genuine Progressive
Republican and citizen, one who wants
nothing but what is right, and man
independent of all factions There is
something to him more .han bombast
There is more of the Lincoln in his
makeup than any other candidate be-
fore the people at this time. He's one
of the greatest figures today in Wis
consin's politics.

. POINT. WISCONSIN. THURSDAY. AUGUST
SOMETHING NEW.

What is believed to be the first water
sports program ever held in Southwest
ern Wisconsin held the close attention
OF a large and enthusiastic crowd at
Mineral Points Soldiers Memorial Park
on Tuesday afternoon Each event
was sharply contested and in view of
the short time allowed for training the
results were quite remarkable. The
day was ideal for the spectators, but
little cold for the participants The
sparkling lake and the hills covered by
the dense crowd made picture to be
long remembered. The results of the
various contests were as follows:
100 yard free for all swim brought
out six starters AL. Siebert, Harry
Harris, Vito Coli, Henry Springer,
Chas. Harris and John Gray. Springer
took the lead at the word and was
never headed. There was sharp con-
test for second between Harry Harris
and Coli, Harris winning by head.
The forty yard swim for boys was a
holly contested event witt. Charles
Gratiot, Harold Benson, Charles Wal
lace. Merle Kelly. Gilbert Thrasher,
Clement Gorgen, Gerald Gribble, Harry
Harris, Robert Hoare, Glenn Pilling,
Willie Whitney and Robert VanMeter.
Hoare was first and VanMeter second.
The thirty yard race for ladies was
won by Goldy Harker, Mrs. VIM second
and Genevieve Gerlach third. These
were the only starters
The plunge for distance brought out
8 starters. Robert Hoare was first,
Henry Springer second and Peter
Oretz was third.
The fancy diving was the closing fea-
ture with 9 starters. The event was
greatly appreciated and participated in |
by most of the entries in the 100 yard |
class. Springer won and little Lester
Harris was a good second. Chas.
Harris was third.
The Park Commission was so en-
couraged by the response to the pro-
gram offered that much fuller pro-
gram will be offered later, including |
water polo and canoe fitting contests.

still lack that disregard OF current

American women have a fine

until by the time it goes its way
