concerts under canvas, all day and
evening.

good floor and good music both
afternoon and evening.

and concessions will operate on the
streets.

be conducted for the amusement of
the athletically inclined.

tween Spring Valley and Glenwood

on an outdoor platform under a pow
erful spotlight. There will be free

Capt. Thomas Ryan
Out For Congress
New Richmond Ex-Service Man vii.
File For Democratic
Nomination
New Richmond News

The News welcomes with pleas
ure that is real and genuine the an
nouncement of Captain Thomas A.
Ryan that he is a candidate for rep
resentative in congress from this, the
tenth Wisconsin district.
We trust that good citizens, sin
cere lovers of their country, regard
less of past party affiliations, will
rally to his support. For here is an
opportunity, in our opinion, for the
people of the tenth district, to elect
and send to Washington real repre-
sentative, one who is not mere
time-server, who is not a four-fusher,
who is not a make-believe.
Not grand-stander.
Nor damagogue,
Nor a false alarm.
Not free publicity hound,
Nor a side-stepper,
Nor band wagon chaser.
Captain Ryan is an outstanding
young man who is not afraid, who
has his own convictions and will
stand up for them, who does his own
thinking, who stands squarely on
his feet and faces the east. His am
bition when he gets to congress, will
not be to get on the greatest posi-
BILE number of sides on the largest
number of questions. He will pursue
a straight and a consistent course.
He has every necessary qualification.
His war record is one that we all
point to with pride. He was right
up on the firing line. He was where
they treated 'em rough and made
'em like it. His word is good, one
hundred per cent of it's face value,
and he means what he says. He may
acquire nickname, he undoubtedly
will if he stays in politics, but we
will wager million that it won't be
slippery" or any derivation there
of.
Captain Ryan is all wool and a
yard wide, a good citizen plus. We
are absolutely and unqualifiedly for
him for representative in congress,
regardless of his democratic politics.
Party labels do not count for much
these days and they count for less in
Wisconsin than in any other state in
the Union. 1t is the man and his
qualification that count, and that is
why we are for Captain Ryan.

HEAVY STORMS STRIKE
IN THIS VICINITY

The seasons heaviest deluge of
rain, accompanied by severe cleo
trical demonstration, visited this
vicinity Saturday evening about eight
o'clock. Lightning put light and
telephone service out of commission
in some sections of the city, but re-
pairs were quickly made and the ser
vice soon restored.
Roads were washed out in many
places, and crops in portions of
some fields were destroyed by the
flood. A record amount of rain fell
in a short period of time.
Tuesday afternoon the upper
Kinnickinnic valley bore the brunt of
what virtually amounted to a cloud
burst, and this morning another de-
LUCE struck the city.
