TO CELEBRATE FOURTH
American Legion Planning
for Big Day in Eagle on
National Holiday.

Eagle River will celebrate under
the guidance of the Frederic
Walsh Post American Legion on
July Fourth, bills and a definite
program having been builded for
this event.
In another column will be found
the program of the days doings.
The star attraction will be the
ball game between the Neopit
Indians, mighty good aggrega-
ton of ball players who, according
to information, have been Clean
ing house" with the majority of
the teams down in their section
of the state.
The Phelps ball team, which had
been secured to play in the after
noon were unable to come on ac-
count of the absence of some of
the players and the Neopit team
was substituted.
There will be the usual contests
in water and on land, and some
will be very amusing just enough
out of the ordinary to promote
fun and at the same time be very
interesting.
Come over and enjoy our cele-
bration.

KREUTZER QUITS RACE
Illness Causes Wausau Re-
publican Candidate for the
Governorship to Drop Out.

With the withdrawal of Andrew
l.. Kreutzer, Wausau, from the
gubernatorial race because of i'll
ness, A. r. Hirst, formerly state
highway engineer, ecomes a
stronger contender in the repub-
lican primary says Fred C. Sheas-
by, special writer, in the Milwau-
kee Journal. He is pretty gener-
ally conceded a, large block of the
Kreutzer votes. Lieut.. Gen. Com
mings is not expected to profit
much by the sudden switch.
Mr.. Kreutzer's greatest pull
would have been among the con-
servatives, and as between Blaine
and Hirst the latter probably will
gain the most from this source be-
cause of opposition to the COVER
nors tax program.
Those who advocated an elimin-
alton convention are inclined to
the view that Kreutzer's with
drawal will solidify the anti-Blaine
vote, with Hirst apparently in
position to catch ON with the Dahl
Severson-Gross group if he comes
along as the governors strongest
opponent. Insurgents in Senator
LaFollette's camp will consider
rallying to Hirst to beat Blaine.
Kreutzer's letter of withdrawal,
addressed to the SO county chair
men who signed the call for him
to run, came from Rochester,
Mimi, where he has been under
the care of physicians for 10 days.
His physicians have ordered
complete rest, warning that any
thing so strenuous as a political
campaign might prove serious to
his health.
Mr.. Kreutzer was making plans
for a vigorous statewide cam
paign. Only last week he employ
ed a publicity manager and in
other ways developed his. head
quarters in Wausau. His letter
to the county chairmen is one of
regret that he has been forced out
by Ill health, with words of ap-
probation to- those who took an
interest in his candidacy.
With Kreutzer and Hirst dividz
ing the conservative vote, it would
have been easier for Blaine than
it will be now that Kreutzer is out.
The governors political associ-
ates have been warning him
against over-confidence and will
advise him to make a thorough
campaign.
Significant of the factional split
over Blaine is the fact that Miss
Ada L. James, Richland Center, is
campaigning for Lieut.. Gov. Com
lngs. Her attacks on the present
administration suggest that even
should LaFollette indorse Blaine,
insurgents in the senator's camp
will continue their opposition to
the governor.
