NORDMAN IN
ADDRESS ON
THE MARKETS
Commissioner Speaks
B fore Richland
C. en- t er Kiwanis
Club

Richland Center That the pro-
gress Of agriculture towards real
and lasting prosperity is wholly de-
pendent upon the recognition and
wise application Of economic law
was the contention of Edward Nord
man, commissioner of markets, in
an address made before the Kiwan-
is club here last evening.
Nordman described the activities
of his department in detail stating
that it's principal work thus far
has been to facilitate the efficient
transfer Of goods from producer to
consumer but he warned the farm.
ers against expecting any more
from this form of activity than
from the invention and use OF
modern farm machinery and from
other scientific methods of farming
"It was believed at one time, he
stated, chat this machinery and
scientific methods in general would
make every farmer well off. We
know now that other factors be-
sides efficient production and dis
tribution are essential to well bal
anced industrial conditions. One Of
these factors is a just, as we'll as
an efficient distribution Of wealth.
1t is a recognized truth that the
basic requirement of good markets
is the maintenance Of a proper bal
ance between production and pur-
chasing power. This balance can
be secured in no other way than
by equalizing opportunity and by
giving free play to the law of sup
ply and demand, stated Nordman.

FIRE DAMAGES
ST. CLAIR HOME
Midnight Blaze on
Warner Memorial
Road Destroys Sec
Ond Story of House

For tie frs time in several
weeks the CITY fire department
was called out on Tuesday night
about midnight. Flames starting
about the chimney of the upper
part of the house of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank st. Clair on the Warner
Memorial road destroyed the roof
and second floor of the home. Con-
siderable water and smoke damage
was also done to the first floor
furnishings.
Mr.. st. Clair believes that the
fire must have started as the re-
suit of a small fire which was
burning in the kitchen stove when
the family retired.
No insurance was carried on the
furniture
Fortunately a water hydrant had
recently been placed a block nearer
to the house, which is the second
home on the incline of the hill
which descends from Baraboo to
the spur track of the iron mine.
This made it possible to reach the
blaze with water and the firemen
remained at the scene of the fire
until nearly three o'clock this
morning.
Mr.. and Mrs. st. Clair have the
sympathy Of many friend in their
misfortune Both are elderly and
Mrs. st. Clair has been N poor
health for some time, while Mr..
St Clair suffered an injury to his
shoulder not long ago.

Milwaukee-Robert M. La Foil
cite was swept by q landslide
into the senatorial seat of his late
father, all other candidates being
buried under an avalanche Of
votes.
Young La Toilette piled UP
plurality of approximately 10000
votes over Edward +. Dithmaf,
Baraboo, his nearest opponent, and
had a majority Of 111,OOO over all
candidates when 1880 Of the 1892
precincts OF the state had report
ed.
Returns from all but S42 pre-
cincts Of the state gave:
LaFollette, 22O,235; Dithmar,
S6,892; Work (sociagist) HLO63;
Bruce (democraD 9,St1; Bauman
SOCIALIST labor 694.
County after county from all
parts Of the state added to the
eyer-increasing majority for young
La Toilette with almost monoton-
Gus regularity. From the northern,
from the western, and from the
eastern parts of the state it was
the same story, and even in the
First congressional district, regular
republican territory, La Follette
made unexpected inroads.
One County For Dithhar
Former Lieut.. Gov. Dithmar lost
his home county Sank, to La
Toilette, by a wide margin, and
succeeded in carrying one of the
seventy one counties in Wiscon-
sin. Rock county was in the Dith-
mar column.
After the first few precincts had
reported, the result of the election
was never in doubt, and the only
uncertainty was as to La Follettes
plurality, over Dithmar.
The other candidates, William
George Bruce, democrat; John M.
Work, socialist; nd George Bau-
man, socialist,labor, were so far in
rear that their vote was almost
negligible
LaFollette's vote showed a ma
terial increase over his primary
total, while Dithmar's total also
was greater than that cast for Roy
r. Wilcox of Eau Claire, Coolidge
Dawes candidate in the primary
although Ia Follette's plurality
over Dithmar, however, was larger
than his plurality in the primary
over Wilcox.
