WISCONSIN VOTERS County Option’ is not a political question. YOU CAN STAND OPPOSED TO THIS UN-AMERICAN ISSUE AND STILL BE A GOOD REPUBLICAN OR A. GOOD DEMO CRAT. Liberal-minded men, regardless of politics, are standing together against County Option, on the ground that it is a law that deprives citizens of their natural right of personal liberty—and robs them of the privilege of self-government. TWO THINGS ARE SURE TO RESULT UNDER COUNTY OPTION-COUNTY PRO HIBITION AND COUNTY RULE FOR TOWNS, VILLAGES AND CITIES. Self-government is the only satisfactory system that gives the governed the regulation they indi vidually want. County Option takes the power of individual control away from those it would regulate.

PAMPHLET GIVEN PUBLICITY Secretary of State Made Answer to a Recent Charge That the State Has Suffered by Reason of Extravagance. Madison. —In a speech at the annual Woodmen reunion and field day here Secretary of State James A. Frear made answer to a recent charge of E. L. Phillip of Milwaukee that the state has suffered in past years by reason of extravagance in the admin istration of its affairs, the charge be ing aimed more particularly at Sec retary Frear. The celebration here was unique from the fact that political candidates of every party invited to be present and many accepted the invitation. Secretary Frear was the chief speak er of the day. In a statement which was non-political in its nature, Mr. Frear cited particularly the fact that the reform laws affecting taxation of public service corporations and insur ance companies had enabled the state to remit millions of dollars to tax payers, and, at the same time, cairy on all the business of the state with out the imposition of a state tax for any purpose, except the small mill tax for graded schools. Beginning in 1903 state taxes were remitted an nually. k “The record of state finances under progressive legislation in recent years has placed Wisconsin in the forefront of all states,” said Secre tary Frear. “So far as. can be ascer tained, no other state has handled its fund to better advantage or with greater economy in the conduct of administrative expenses. “A pamphlet against political re form in Wisconsin has been * given some publicity and exploited for po litical purposes. In order to correct erroneous conclusions that have been drawn, a few facts are presented frpm the state records and the same years of 1899 and 1908 are used in compari son, as these years are the ones used in the pamphlet. “It should be understood that state administration expenses are all paid out of the taxes and licenses received from corporations and other sources of' state revenues, but that no state taxes were levied during the ten-year period named, excepting for educa tional purposes. The reform law’ which changed the method of railway taxation, passed in 1903, together with other recent laws, materially in creased the state revenues.” Barker Formally Named. State Senator Henry W. Barker of Sparta qualified to be a candidate for the Republican nomination for gover nor of Wisconsin, w T hen petitions in his behalf were filed in the office of Secretary of State Frear, bearing the indorsement of 2,843 voters.

Bancroft to be a candidate for at torney general. The petition of the former had 5,958 signatures and of the latter 3,053.

Frear and his clerks began to prepare the primary election ballots to be for warded to the various county clerks of the state. The new law requiring that the names of candidates rotate on the ballot, in order that there shall be no difference in advantage as to position, adus much to this The ballots must be forwarded to the county clerks at. least twenty-five days before the primary election, which will be on Thursday, and Mr. Frear expects to be able to comply with that prevision of the law.

The state is going to check up the marriages in Wisconsin from October 1, 1907, to December 31, 1909, for the county clerks are receiving letters from Madison from tne office of the board of vital statistics instructing them to send in the stubs of all the marriage licenses granted. When the law was changed taking away from the register of deeds in the various counties the filing of births, deaths, accidents and mar riages with them and ordering that these statistics be filed with the state direct in the future, there was an amendment to the 1907 laws passed, ordering the clerks to make stubs of all marriage licenses issued and re tain them so that the state could get the stubs for checking up the licenses. The ministers, judges and justices of the peace are now required to send in all the marriage records to the state. The state now desires to find out if they have been complying with the letter of the law and for this rea son asks for the stubs. Some county clerks have failed to keep an accurate record of the mar riages licenses issued by them and will be up against it. Mote Anniversary of Nicolet’s Visit.

Your Money Eack if You are Not Satis fied with the Medicine We Recommend. We are so positive that our remedy will permanently relieve constipation, no matter how chronic it may be, that we offer to furnish the medicine at our expense should it fail to pro dm e satisfactory results. It is worse than useless to attempt to cure constipation with cathartic drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do much harm, They cause a reaction, i ritate and weaken the bowels and tend to make constipation more chronic Besides, their use becomes a habit that is dangerous. Constipation is caused by a weak ness of the nerves and muscles of the large intestine or descending colon. To expect permanent relief you must therefore tone up and strengthen these organs and restore them to healthier activity. The discovery of the active prin ciple of our remedy involved the labor of the world’s greatest research chemists. As an active agent it pos sesses the valuable qualities of the brst known intestinal tonics as well as being particularly pleasant and prompt in its results. We want you to try Rexall Or derlies on our recommendation. They are exceedingly pleasant to take, be ing eaten like candy, and are ideal for children, delicate persons and old f jlks, as well as for the robust. They act directly on the nerves and muscles of the bowels. They apparently have a neutral action on other associate organs or glands. They do not purge, cause excessive looseness nor create any inconvenience whatever. They may be taken at any time, day or night. They will positively relieve chronic or habitual constipation, if not cf surgical variety, and the myriads cf associate or dependent chronic ailments, if taken with reg ularity for a reasonable length of time. They come in two sizes of packages, 12 tablets, 10 cents; 36 tablets, 25 cents. Sold in Lancaster only at our store,—The Rexall Store. J. T. Bennett WANTED- Horses to pasture; within 7 miles of town.
