VOLUME XLIX
A GOOD MAN FOR
DISTRICT ATTOW
CHARLES A. HADING CANDI
DATE FOR REELECTION
lids Made a Careful Couscientious |
District Attorney for Dodge Cos.;
and Should Be Renominated and
Reelected in November -His
Record Faultless.
j , j
/
All who have watched the official
acts of Chailes A. Kading the present,
district attorney for Dodge county,
will bear witness to the fact that he
has discharged the duties f the office
faithfully and conacientionusly and
been a valuable official and entitled to
favorable consideration at the hands
of the voters of Dodge c unty.
He has given prompt attention to
criminal casts and been mindful of
the interests of the tax payers, using
good judgment in all of his official
acts and been very successful in dis
posing of all matters coming within
the purview of his office and has estab
lished the reputat ion of being prompt,
careful and unswerving in the dis
charge of every duty devolvng upon
him as county attorney.
The practice of rewarding faithful
officials for faihtful service can be
carried out in the case of Mr. Kading,
who deserves not only a renomination,
but reelection, and every voter in
Dodge county should see that his name
is cn the primary and general election
tickets.
1 he Primary Election.
This is the last issue of The Leader
prior to the primary electiun, the ed
itor wishes to impress upon the minds
of each voter the duty he owes to him
self as a citizen and the country at
large, to attend the primary election
and cast his vote for those whom he
may wish to be the candidate ot his
party at the election to be held No
vember 3rd next. Should a voter not
be politically hide-bound and anxious
to choose such men tc represent him
in office as will work lor the best in
terests of the country and public gen
erally, he can exercise his indepen
dence and vote for such men regard
less of their political affiliations.
In state matters the writer would
advise democrats to vote for Hon. A.
J. Schmitz of Milwaukee, for govern
or, as a merited rebuke the factions
in bis party which has kept up a fight
for years in that party always event
uating in its defeat; a faction which
four years ago. defeated the party at
the polls by proving tra’tors to the
party and its nominees. For United
States Senator, every democratic vote 1
at the primary election should be cast
for Neal Brown, the “Sage of Wau-i
sau,” a native of Jetferson county and
one of the ablest men in the state.
For Congress, George W. Levis of
Madison, the candidate of two years
ago who, certainly is entitled to favor
able consideration. For county officers
we can only speak for our own citi
zens, William Rohr for clerk of the
court, and J. P. Holland for treasurer,
both of whom shojid receive the full
vote of their party locally—altho’ Mr.
Rohr does not need it, having no op
position, it would nevertheless be an
evidence of the regard in wnich he is
held by his neighbors.
The republican voters if they are
wise, will cast their votes for Hon. S.
A. Cook for United States Senator
fur he certainly is one of God’s noble
men and worthy of their support. For
Congress, John M. Nelson of Madison,
should be renominated and reelected
regardless of politics, for he can be
trusted to work for the best interests
ot the district, state and nation. He
is right on all questions of vital im
portance to the people.
As the candidates on the republican
county ticket have no opposition, it is
unnecessary to speak, as it is expected
that every republican will do his duty
and vote and con
scienciously.

LABOR day proclamation.
Gov. Davidson Issues Document
Setting Sept. 7 as Holiday.
Gov. Davidson’s proclamation desig
nating Sept. 7 as Labor day is as fol
lows:
By authority of law, I, James O.
Davisdon, governor of Wisconsin, .
hereby aesignate Monday, Scpr. 7, as
Labor day.
Labor is the creator of wealth.
Without lanor capital would be un- I
employed and useless. When combined
in friendly co-uperation labor and i
capital matce for the greatest happi- j
ness and the broadest and highest civ- 1
ibzalion. What is needed at this time |
is a spirit of justice on the part of
capitalists an J laborers and a know- j
ledge of the dependence of each upon ;
the other. Harmony, and not hostil
ity, should mark their union, and both
should regard the interests of ccnairm- j
ers, who finally bear labor’s burdens !
and furnish to ”apitai its profits.
That the day may be properly ob- j
served and that the motive which
prompted its establishment may be ad
vanced, I recommend that industrial
institutions generally suspend opera
tions, and that, so far as possible,
employers and employes alike join in
the celebration of Labor day.
in testimony whereof I have here
unto set my hand and seal and caused
the great seal of the state of Wiscon
sin to ba affixed. Dene at the city of
Madison, this twentieth day of August,
in th' year of Our Lord, One Thousand
Wine Hundred and Fight.
By the governor:
J AMDS O. DAVIDSON.
JAMES A. FREAK.
Secretary cf State.
The day will be generally observel
throughout the state.
Waterloo to Celebrate.
The Celebration which will take
place in Waterloo, Sept. 2,3 and 4,
will be one of the Grandest events
which has been arranged in this sec
tion in many years. On Wednetday
will take place a genuine Rhode Island
Olarn Bake. Clams will be shipped
to Waterloo from the Atlantic Ocean
in barrels in ocean water with their
shells on, so they will be as fresh as
when taken from the ocean. The
clam baking will take place in the
park and served free to all. The bak
ing will he dune in true Eastern style
in view of the assemblage. Thursday
will be Democratic Day. The prin
cipal address will be made oy Mayor
Rose of Milwaukee. He will be ac
companied by about fifty members of
the Rose Marching Club in uniform
and a special band of music. 0. A.
A. McGee of Milwaukee, will be the
principal speaker cn Friday, Repub
lican Day. He will be accompanied
by several uf our state officers who
will also make short addresses. Music

daily. The Milwaukee Journal Band
of 42 pieces will be heard during the
three days. Five exciting games of
Base ball will be played, and the en
tire day and evening will be filled in
with special free attractions.
Amazing Bloodless Cures,
As great as were the recent cures
in Europe they are greater in America
today. The cure of Rupture, Cancer,
Biles, etc., without the knife is now
an accomplished fact as can be proved
by*the IllinoisjState Specialists ot 689
W. State St . Rockford, 111.
The validity of their claims can be
tested by all who write for appoint
ment card. Their ad stating time to
cure diseases appears elsewhere in
this paper.

SUCCESSOR TO THE WATERTOWN REPUBLICAN.
hon. Samuel a. cook of nlenah
Republican Candidate for the United States Senate-Vote
for Him—The Farmer and Labor Candidate
Mr. Cook has done much for the farmers and dairymen of this
state and they owe him a debt of gratitude which they can repay by
voting for him. Laboring men have always found in him a true friend,
for he has been a laboring man himself and sympathizes with them, and
his employees are his friends.
He started out in life a poor boy as a farm hand, enlisted in the
Union army when but 15 years of age to help save the Union from dis
ruption. He is right on all important national issues and a good man
in respect, who as senator will be a credit to the state and nation.
Who is Rhine?
The fo'lowmg item appeared in the
Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin cf the
25th inst. :
“Louis E. Rhine of Watertown was
accosted by a patrolman at East Wa
ter street and Juneau avenue Monday
night when the man appeared to be
sick. Pointing to h : s mouth. Rhine
gasped that he had drunk a quantity
of bicloride of mercury. Believing
that his life might be saved, the pa
trolman Eurrrncned the ambulance and
the stranger was hurried to the Emer
gency hospital. Today Rhine is alive
and well. The doctors say that they
found absolutely no trace uf poison
and it is believed that the Watertown
man played a ghastly ioke upon an
unsuspecting officer. Rhine will call
on Judge Neelen in the morning.”
As the name of Louis E. Rhine does
not appear in the Watertown city di
rectory, it is to be presumed that
Rhine wanted the officers to believe
that he came from a mighty good
place.

Mr. Nelson stands for the highest political ideals and can be trust
ed to work for the best interests of the people of his district, state and
nation. He favors such reforms as are calculated to advance the inter
ests of all and not the few. He made a brave fight during the last ses
sion of congress for a change in the rules so as to prevent the defeat of
needed legislation by the speaker and will vote for a fair, just revision
of the tariff in the interest of the consumers. He has had only one term
and deserves the second to continue his fight for exact justice for all.
Watertown owes him much and can best show it by giving him a unan
imous vote Tuesday.

FIGURE IT OUT
Land at SIOO to $l4O
Or Land at $lB to S2O
Suppose hy dint of hard work and close economy you at last get S3OOO
ahead. What are you going to do with it ? Is it your ambition to have a
good farm of your own V
Suppose you buy 160 acres at SIOO per acre, pay your $34)00 down and
give a mortgage for the balance $13,00 at 5 per cent. How long will it
take you to lift that mortgage V
Your interest would be $650 per year, and to this you would have to
add at least S2OO for insurance, taxes and repairs. That’s SBSO you must
pay above the expenses of supporting your family. Now you will be doing
well if you can succeed in reducing your debt SSOO per year. And how
long will it take you to pay for your farm ? Twenty-six years.
But suppose you have bad luck, or sickness, or crops fail, so that you
can’t even pay your interest. What will you do then ?
Or suppose you die; can your widow and children keep up the pay
ments and save the farm ? You know they can’t.
Face the Situation Squarely. SIOO-an-acre is out of the question.
What then? Why, move to a locality where land is as good or better, and
is much cheaper. There, your S3OOO would pay for 160 acres, and you need
fear no man. You won’t be troubled with a mortgage hanging over your
head. If you die, your family will be taken care of. The farm will rent
for enough to provide them with a good living.
Show the courage that your fathers did when they left the old coun
try, and go where land is one-fifth of the price of home land. Instead of
SIOO an acre, pay $25 for land that will be double in value in a short time.
Land values are increasing rapidly. Don’t Put It Off, Talk it over
with ('. M. Van Orden. Inspect our lands. It£will cost you but little and
may mean everything to you.
