WEEKLY WATERTOWN LEADER. VOLUME XLIX PRIMARY EIECIIOB HELD ISSI TUESDAY MANY SURPRISES AND MANY FELL BY THE WAYSIDE Stephenson Mas a Plurality of About 9000 for U. S Senator and Nelson Carries District B> About 3000—Holland Nominated for County Treasurer By 69 Majority The primary election held in the state Tuesday furnished many sur prises, especially to the candidates who fell by the wayside and demon strated that the system is a delusion, farce and thoroughly un-American in every essential feature. The law necessitates large expenditure ol money by the candidates, who, if not nominated are out the amount expend ed and only the rich who can afford the experience,can aspire to office and then again the system debauches the people and blunts their moral sense of the sanctity oi the ballot. It also provides the means for dickering be tween parties so as to prevent or se cure the nomination of men who would be or would not be acceptable to the party with which they may be affili ated or pretend to be. Then again, there is n t an expression of the peo pie at the primary election, as fully an half of the voters refrain from voting especially in the farming dis tricts. The election in this city passed off quietly only about one half of the vote being cast, the laboring element not taking advantage of their right to give expression to their convictions at the polls in designating their choice of moninees. The nominees of the two dominant parties in the state are as follows: United States Senator—Republican, Isaac Stephenson, Marinette. Demo cratic. Neal Brown. Wausau. REPUBLICAN. Governor —James O.

The Democratic Party is clamoring for free trade, the same as it Las al ways done, and the tariff now seems to be the only issue in this campaign. Mr. Taft in his able speech of ac ceptance emphatically declared his position on that point While Mr. Tatf and ihe Republican Party will revise the tariff after next March, ir must nevrethcleas be done along the line of protection. One of the best arguments and indeed an unanswer able argument in favor of protection was made by the immortal Lincoln, lie was making a speech in Pennsyl vania when some of his friends told him to say something in favor of pro tection. Mr. Lincoln in his simple and affective way said that he did not know a great deal about the tariff bat that he did know that if we paid Eng land S4O for a ton of steel rails, that Englanri had the S4O and we had the rails, if we paid $45 per ton to the American Manufacturer then we had both tie rails and the sls. This is the protective doctrine in a Nut Shell and is so simple and clear that no one can fail to comprehend it. During the last eleven years this country enjoyed the greatest prosperity ever known in its history and during those eleven years, we have been under highest tariff ever known. The inference can not be escaped. The American people will continue the party in power that has been so potential in establishing nd continuing this unprecedented prosperity. L-t well enough alone. Men’s SKin Turned to Leather Hut Springs, S. D.- Mr. Geo. Har ris of Hot Springs, S. LL, having a cancer of the neck involving the jugu lar vein *vaa lold by a local doctor that an operation would be fatal. Hoping to add h few more months to his life, Mr. Harris visited the Illi nois Stale Specialists, of Rockford. 111. These doctors injected a formal dehyde compound around the walls of the jugular vein and carotid artery, rendering the tissue as tough as leath er, preventing further eating by the cancer. Thousands of hopeless inva lids who have been pronounced incur able by the most skillful physicians have been restored to health by the extraordinary methods used by these experts. Many were afflicted with the most painful rheumatism, with tumors, paralysis, blindness, asthma, eczema, consumption, hernia, liver trouble, epileptic fits, in fact all stages of chronic diseases. Parents whose children suffer from hip dis eases, spinal trouble, bow legs, rup ture, or other ailment should write for card entitling them to a free examina tion. Tu obtain a permanent cure foi their children is the duty of all par ents. It is useless to dwell further upon the rare gifts of these experts as they stand today, master of masters without peers, and as healers they have no equals. Afflicted people should write to the Illinois State Specialists, 628 W. State St., for free consultation card and advice. State Civil Service Com’n. Madison. Wis,. Aug. 19, 1908.

All interested in such matters are cordially invited to attend the , meeting r.ud take part in its delibera- I tions. WATERTOWN, JEFFERSON COUNTY. WIS. SERF. 4. 1908. Sept. Weather Prediction BY REV. IRL HICKS OF ST. LOITS, MO A reactionary storm p ;nod is in progress as we pass from August into September. Reaction to anti-storm conditions may occur on and touching | the 2nd and 3rd, equatorial storms may appear in the regions of our southern coasts about this time. A regular storm penol is central on the 6th, extending from the 4th to the Bth. Storms whiich may have been sighted off the gulf regions prior to this period will gain new life and energy during the 4th to Bth, causing severe and perhaps destructive visita tions on the south coasts and inland toward and over the great lakes. As early as the 4tb or sth, the barometer will indicate growing storm conditions in western and southern extremes During Sunday the 6th to Tuesday the Bth, and possibly over the 9th and 10th, these conditions will bring de cided September storms progressively to most parts of the country. Snould very low barometric areas come up from the northwest, warm to phenom enally Mgh temperatures will prevail generally, followed by heavy tropical storms. Our belief is that the great storm centers of this period will lie the southward first, working northward ! and northeastward up the Atlantic and over most of the states inland. A reactionary storm period is cen tral on the loth, lltn and 12th. The Bth to the 15th is at the annual crisis of magnetic antagonism between the Earth and Sun, and the chances are many that the disturbances o* the preceding period will last into, and reach their final culmination during this reactionary period. Within a period of about five days, taking the 10th as the central day, it will be most natural that many equinoctial storms and seismic perturbations should occur. Behind these storms, beginning in the far northwest, say about the llth, look for rapid and very decided clangs*, to high barometer, bor al gales and much cooler weather. This change will spread eastward and southward during the llth to 15th, breaking up heated conditions, with probable frost in many localities northward. A regular storm period covers the 15tn to 19th. The crisis of this peri od will fall on the 17th, 18th and 19th. The character of the storms will be plainly indicated many hours before they appear by the reading of any reliable barometer the direction and force of the wind currents, the temperature ana the amount of hu midity indicated by the hygrometer, or even the bodiy sensatons of “mug giness. ’ ’ A reactionary storm per od runs from the 22nd to th.i 25th. This period will come to its full culmination be fore the time of New M .on on the 25th. Low barometer and threatening weath er will appear perhaps with storms before that date; but the temperature will keep up, and stunn conditions will intensify until after the 25th. Indeed, the Muon being on the celes tial equator on the 26th, severe elec trical storms on and touching that date may bridge the interval and cause be a continuance of storm conditions into the last period of the month. The 25th is the center of another seismic period of about five days. A regular storm period begins on the 27th and extends to October 2nd, being central on the 29th. As the month goes out low barometer and general storm conditions will be in transit from west to east. By the 29th and bUth wide areas of cloudiness and rain will develop, bringing in a gen era! spell of autumnal rain, wind and disagreeable weather. Foot Ball Games. The football team of the Nor*h western university have scheduled the following games up to date. Possibly other games will be listed before the season opens: Ocotber 7—‘Varsity vs. Wayland.

BANK OF WATERTOWN Established 1854 Capital SIOO,OOO FIGURE IT OUT Land at SIOO to $l4O Or Land at $lB to $2O Suppose by dint of hard work and close economy you at last get $3OOO ahead. What are you going to do with it ? Is it your ambition to have a good farm of your own ? Suppose you buy 160 acres at $lOO per acre, pay your $3OOO down and give a mortgage for the balance $13,00 at 5 per cent. How long will it take you to lift that mortgage? Your interest would be $O5O per year, and to this you would have to add at least $3OO for insurance, taxes and repairs. That’s $B5O you must pay above the expenses of supporting your family. Now you will be doing well if you can succeed in reducing your debt $5OO 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. $lOO-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 $3OOO 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 laud is one-fifth of the price of home land. Instead of $lOO 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 C. M. Van Orden. Inspect our lauds. It£will cost you but little and may mean everything to you. Texas Gulf Coast, Texas Panhandle, No. Dakota Manitoba, California and Northern Minnesota C. M. VAIN ORDEN LAISD DEPARTMENT 117 So.
