Independents Column
Calls for Many Crosses
Wis @ o NJ SIN FARM w ME- NJ
SHOULD PREPARE TO VOTE
NOVEMBER 9TH

wisconsin Progressives intending
to vote the LaFollette-Wheeler ticket
in November should bear in mind
that they will have to make a cross
after the name of each of thirteen
electors. The presidential ballot will
be separate from the state ballot and
will have all the national tickets on
it, but there has been much misunder-
standing about the way to vote for
independent electors. A cross must be
placed after each one of the La Fol
lette electors thirteen crosses in ALL
This is the law pertaining to indie
pendent candidates. The old party
electors can be voted for with one
cross where the straight ticket is
voted, but not so with the independ-
ent. The thirteen LaFollette-Wheeler
electors will be;
Miss iona Gale, Portage.
Otto P. Seifrig, Wauwatosa.
Julia Anderson Schnetz, Racine
G. j. Schoenfeld, Beaver Dam.
William T. Evjue, Madison
John J. Handley, Milwaukee.
John C. Schmidtmann, Manitowoc
William v. Kidder, Lacrosse.
Ernest l. Schroeder, Shawano.
John w. Reynolds,r Green Bay
Mary Francis Taylor, Chippewa
Falls
Clough Gates, Superior.
New voters should bear in mind the
Importance of voting for all electors,
which is comparatively easy.
In this connection also, | earnestly
urge all my farm women readers to
plan to go and vote this fall and my
men readers to give them every aid
in doing so.
In notable address not long ago,
Mrs. Robert M. LaFollette, wife of
Wisconsin's presidential candidate,
drove home great point which farm
ers and their wives should bear in
mind at election The point was that
the man who goes to the polls and
votes and leaves his wife at home
casts only half vote. If voting is
worth the effort at all it is worth all
the effort that can be put into it.
Farm women should remember that
they cannot leave their political and
social rights, opportunities and respon
sibilities to others any more than they
can their household interests and the
care of their children. The ballot box
is the one place where they can speak
with quiet power and influence more
effectively than anywhere else. They
should not hesitate to vote because
of the educational, moral and social
benefit they will themselves derive
from it. The law makes ample pro-
vision for receiving their votes, for
instructing them how to vote, and in
safeguarding them in every way while
exercising this public duty iscon-

visit over to the grounds Tuesday
sound Mr.. Mitchell busily engaged in
directing the work OF blasting out
Stumps and stones and blowing and
grading the grounds staked out by him
and to which his experience gained
IN laying out and building two pri-
yate courses IN the past, makes him
a valuable man, aside from the inter-
est he feels in the project as resi-
dent OF Eagle River for about half the
year, at his home just short distance
above where the golf links are to be.
The fine set of farm buildings, form
erly known as the Dairy Dollar Farm
are to be removed at once, in fact are
being moved and taken down now, as
they stand directly in the way of the
nine hole course. An idea OF the size
OF the links and club house grounds is
gained from the statement of Mr.. Nit
chell that 1900 pounds of grass seed
will be needed to seed down the area
next spring after it has been disked
and narrowed after the blowing now
being done.
The clubhouse will be situated on
large rise of ground surrounded by
pine trees, fronting toward the river
and very picturesque view may be
had from any direction.
The general topography of the
ground is ideal for the purpose and
cue to what nature has provided, the
expense of fitting up the course will
be mich less than if it were neces-
sary to build artificial obstacles, as it
would be II the site was level.

Young man, do you want to be rich

the electricity propels.
