TO SHELVE BLAINE

Black River Falls, Aug. 2l.-That
Senator La Toilette is about to
"shelve" Governor John ]. Blaine
and is grooming Herman L. Ekern to
be his right-hand, is the somewhat
sensational rumor going the rounds
in political circles.
According to the rumor the senior
senator has determined that Blaine is
about through in Wisconsin and he
therefore brought Herman l.. Ekern
back to Madison, after nearly ten
years in Chicago, End made him his
private candidate for attorney gen.
eral with the intention of having him
succeed Blaine as governor in 1925
and then succeed Lenroot in the
United States senate in 1927.
1t is pointed ont that in his cam
paign so far the senior senator has
paid more attention to boosting
Ekern than Blaine, and progressive
republicans in all parts of the state
are rallying to the support of John
F. Baker for promotion TO attorney
general.

LONG DISTANCE TITLE
SWIMMER ONLY A NOVICE

Tom Blake of the Los Angeles A. c.,
newly crowned national long distance
swimming champion, appears to have
the making of one of the greatest
watermen this country has produced.
In the recent title race he OUT
classed his field, beating second man
by nearly half mile. Previously he
had returned such remarkable times
as SO for 100 yards, 2:22 for 220
yards, and 24:1 for one mile in the
100 foot home pool.
Considering that he is lad Of Is.
with little competitive experience.
these performances are exceptional.
But what makes Blake's prospects
particularly bright is that he has yet
to acquire form. His str Ike is
ragged, he shows costly faults. With
competent coaching he should improve
materially.
Given a better chance thereby to
exploit fully his great natural
ability, there is hardly doubt that
he will attain internationa rating.

INSPECTION MADE BY IN.
SPECTOR HICKMAN.
New Route to take in Addit-
iOnal Territory in Region of
HOughtOn. Roads in Good
Condition.

An inspection of the proposed new
rural route running out of Washburn
was made by Post Office Inspector
Hickman, accompanied by Postmaster
John O'SulliNan and Mail Carrier
Ned Wieman recently, and it is said
the route will in all probability be es-
tablished in the near future.
The new route leaves Washburn by
way of the Bayfield, road, going as
far as Houghton and taking in the
village of Houghton, then retraces
back to town in time for the ten o.
clock mail. Starting out again the
route goes up the Nevers road west
of the city as far as theWarden cor
ner, crosses to the Wannebo road,
and comes out at the Siour River
school house, thence to the Stone cor
ner and from there to the Finn settle
ment and then back to town.
Route number one goes out the
Four mile creek road, thence down to
the Hovde corner, back to the Guskie
corner and out to the Jake Froseth
place on the hill, thence around to the
Dilree corner and from there on takes
up the west portion of the present
route,
The both routes have the required
number of families and have been
given the o. K. by the inspector and
will no doubt be established as soon
as the Post Office department gets
through the red tape of establishing
new route

FIRE CHIEF WARNS PUBLIC
AGAINST GERMAN IRONS

Milwaukee.-Cheap Geagntan-made
electrical devices are declared to be
a fire menace by T. A. Clancy, chief
of the Milwaukee fire department
Chief Clancy referred specifically to
a quantity of electric irosss. made in
Germany and recently imported into
New York.
Recently shipment Of 10000
German-made electric fiat irons was
unloaded at New York." said Chief
Clancy. "These irons are being re-
tailed at about 81 each. but are 50
constructed as to constitute serious
fire hazard. In addition, their life is
short and they are poor buy at any
price. They come without stand
and with flexible cords and attach
ments that do not conform TO United
States standards.
II wish to warn the public to shun
these German devices, and stick to
approved makes Of American irons"

Editor OF the l1meS:

late the News last week (or shall
say this week, inasmuch as the News
skipped its last weeks issue and the
public are to be favored with two
issues, perhaps evidently the News
has joined the "try" weekly class
gets out one week and tries to get out

to congratulate the News about, but
the fact that Peavey, with becoming
modesty quite unusual, was not on
the front page at all. He and his
troubles occupied a part of column
on back page; quite inconspicuous,
| AS / told the readers of the Times
last week, Peayey's answer to my
article about the "sham lawsuits
would lack any facts. Sure enough
we have the answer all camoufaged
OF course, il could not be otherwise,
the poor fellow hasn't anything else
to offer.
He says the reason why he did not
file his inventory and account for the
property he took as receiver OF the
bayfield, & Superior Orchard Com
pany, is that for the past SIX WEEKS
his counsel in Milwaukee has been i'll
Well, now, Peavey should have filed
the inventory and made the report
about two years ago. He was re-
quired on March 22nd to do these
things within ten days. That is 23
weeks ago. Where was Peavey's
counsel during all the time these
papers were due?
AN Peavey is required 20 do is to
furnish a statement of the property
received, the amount paid out and
the amount on hand. Any twelve
yaar-old boy could make it OUT and
surely an editor of a newspaper or a
candidate for congress ought to have
intelligence enough to do this. No
need of hiring = Milwaukee lawyer
at all.
This illness of counsel is the slimesi
kind of an excuse. What the men
who have money coming for labor and
other creditors have been trying to
ascertain during the past two years
lis, what has Peavey done with the
property?
They are entitled to know this
without resort to legal proceedings,
but Peavey would not come across
with the information in the usual
manner, hence the order of the court
commanding Peavey to be at Mil
waukee on September End and show
cause why he should not be adjudged
guilty of contempt.
Anyway, Peavey left-handedly ad-
mits it is not a "sham lawsuit"

NO ENDORSEMENT
FOR Mr.. PEAVEY
LA TOILETTE FAILS IT
MENTION HIS NAME
Did Not Consider His Record
In the Legislature as Pro-
gressiye and Evidently Has
Not Changed His Mind.

United States Senator Robert M.
La Toilette, who spoke at Ashland
this morning, failed to place his rub
Der stamp of approval on the candi-
dacS of H. H. Peavey, of this city,
for Congress. Two years ago Peavey
sought the La Toilette endorsement,
but failed to receive it, and La Fol-
lette in writing to friends stated Mr..
Peavey's record in the legislature was
NOT progressive, and said, cannot
recommend him."
La Toilette did endorse every other
man on his ticket, from Blaine for
Governor down to Smith of Ashland
for the Assembly, by mentioning
each of their names and giving them
his personal endorsement, and friends
of the Washburn man were more than
disappointed when he failed to even
mention the name of Peavey, even
though he did talk about Congress-
man Nelson's vote on the Esch-Cum-
minis law.
For more than two years the Wash
burn man has been hot-footing the
La Toilette trail in the hope of MAX
ing Bob believe that he had really
changed his coat, but La Toilette was
apparently "hep" to the reason and
refused to take him under his pro-
gressive wing in order to slip him
into an Office.
La Toilette has a great faculty of
not forgetting. He remembered Pea
vey's record in the assembly which he
said WAS NOT PROGRESSIVE.
He remembered how two years ago
he fought Blaine and stood for Nc
Govern for Governor; how he ditched
the entire Republican ticket in the
fall election and supported Bob Nc
Coy, democrat. Bob Ia Toilette
failed to forget these things long
enough to bring up the name of
Peavey in his eleventh district
addresses.
Through printed literature and
otherwise, the Washbuurn man has
endeavored to make the people of the
district believe La Toilette had
given him his stamp of approval, and
after devoting columns of glowing
editorials and news articles during
the past two years to the senior SEN
ator, it must have hit home mighty
hard to have Fighting Bob forget all
of this and fail to recall his name
along with the progressives whom he
is supporting. Bob LaFollette has
not been fooled. The railroad boys
of Wasburn have not been fooled and
it is safe to say the farmers and
laboring men will not be led astray
on Primary day.

MADE TOUR OF COUNTY
THE PAST WEEK
Greeted by Large and Enthusi-
astic Audiences Everywhere.
Will Garry Bayfield, County.

Congressman A. p. Nelson, Repub-
llican candidate for the 18th Congress
sional District, spent two days in
Bayfield, county during the past
week, making addresses at Port Wing,
Bayfield,, Washburn, Mason, Grand
view, Drummond, Iron River and
Cable, and everywhere he was greeted
by large and enthusiastic audiences,
who assured the Congressman of their
support in the coming primary, and
lit is now predicted that Mr.. Nelson
will carry bayfield, county by q sub
stantial majority.
At every place visited, Mr.. Nelson
discussed in frank and convincing
manner the issues of the present
campaign, without mentioning his
opponent, saying II would rather go
down to defeat playing square with
the people than to win by q over
whelming majority if had to resors
to mud-slinging and treachery in
order to win"
He discussed the causes leading to
the present unsettled condition of
the country, the cause of strikes, the
Esch-C -Cummins law and changes
needed to make this law of value to
the common people of the country,
the soldiers bonus, the deep sea
waterway and other issues. Where
ever he talked he held the close at
tention of his audience and after his
addresses hundreds fiocke6 to shake
hands and to inform the Congressman
of their united support.
Congressman Nelson is one of the
few congressman who has remained
faithful to his constituents On all
labor questions he has one hundred
per cent record, and his record on
measures of interest to the tillers Of
the soil is without par.
Mr.. Nelson has served the 18th
District well in Congress and it is
no more than fair that he should re-
ceive a handsome endorsement on
September 5th as result of that
record.
He has been q conscientious worker
in the interests of his constituency,
remaining true to every pledge made
two years ago.

MOONSH|NERS
ARE RA|DED
SHERIFF'S FORCE GATHER
IN THREE STILLS
Made Great Haul Last Week and
the Result is the Arrest of
Three Persons and Destruc-
tiOn of Places.

Sheri.4 Andy Murray and Deputy
James Long put hard crimp in the
noonshine business in the Washburn

ton on the Nevers road, just. a mile
and a half west of Washburn, where

where the officers secured two-thirds
of a quart of moonshine and 180 gal
Ions of mash and l still.
A hearing was held before Judge
Geo. A. Calder on August 18th. Both
parties entered a plea of guilty and
were bound over for trial before the
Circuit Court.
On August 10Th, north of Bayfield,
the officers arrested Mrs. Prahaska for
having three pints of booze in her pos
session. The officers shadowed this
place and when the woman left the
house at 1 P. NJ. and went into a
swamp to get the liquor, upon her re-
turn she fell into the arms of Deputy
Long, who placed her under arrest.
Mrs. Prhaska is held on two counts,
that of possession and transportation
of Illicit whiskey,
The outfits confiscated by the officers
in the two Washburn raids were of
the firest make. =
