Lous March etti, j
The Sentinel and Free Press have
somewhat different views on the prim
ary election law. The former says it is
no good aud the latter, a line thing.
There is a move on foot, to “merge”
the paper mills. That means to place
them into a ‘ trust.’’ All the mills in
Wisconsin are slated in the combine.
Has Mr. Henderson been a republi
can congressman, and leading politic
ian of his party so long, atd not learned
that inconsistency is a republican jewel ?
And now conies Theodore Krons
hage and says in pretty plain words
that George Buekstaff does not tell the
truth. Now less hear w hat George has
to say.
11. H. Manson wocM make an ideal
candidate for member of the Assembly,
and it is a pretty certain thing that he
will be given the nomination by the
democrats of the Second district.
If it is really “something else,” Mr.
Henderson, all right. Keep your own
secrets, in your own way. But if it
really be that you desire to be consis
tent then, Mr. Henderson, we would
advise you to learn political wisdom
from Mr. Babcock.
The late Wisconsin democratic con
vention condemned t te Stevens pri
mary election bill. It did not condemn
the primary election iiea Mr. Bryan
is usually right. But has he read the
Stevens bill ? And if he has read it,
does he not agree with \\ isconsin dem
ocrats in condemning it ? We certainly
should expect him to.
Mr. Matiiie's name is pronounced—
when properly pronounced—Math-ie,
with aas in ale, fate, labor, etc.—Mil
waukee Free Press.
That is queer. In his home town
Mr. Mathie’s name has always been
pronounced with the a as in have, that,
.action, etc. It may be possible that he
will change the pronunciation just for
the sake of conforming with the Free
Press’ authority.
The Milwaukee Free Press meets the
charge made against the governor, that
he received “boodle” from the inde
pendent book companies, for the de
feat of L. D. Harvey for, reuomination,
by asserting that the amount is nothing
compared to the amount which has
been put in by the American Book com
pany in different parts of the state to
keep friends in office.
The worst scandal known in the
history of Wisconsin politics is that of
the book scandal. Just think of it. A
governor, like LaFollette, who pretends
to be a reformer, and his followers, ac
cepting money from one set of trust
book publishers who want to del at a
man that favors another set of trust
book publishers. All of this shows a
wanton disregard of the principles of
good government that should be set
down on by the voters. It shows that
the whole fabric of state politics as
reared by LaFollette and his henchmen
is so flimsey that the first good, healthy
breath of indignation let out by the
public w ill entirely demolish it.
The following is taken from the Mil
waukee Journal of Wednesday, and the
sentiments thus expressed are those of
a good many other republicans : “B.
F. McMillan, one of the best known
Republican lumbermen in the state,
gave bis opinion in this way: ‘Oh, 1
guess I will join the church and attend
steadily until after election. My party
has left me, but l have quite a lot of
company left. When some piece of
machinery in the mill annoys me do
you think I burn the mill? No, I just
yank out that piece and throw it away.
That’s what I will do now. Gov. La
Follette ain’t big enough to throw me
out of the Republican party, but I shall
do tny best to dump him.’ ”
President Baer! You say you
have been “a life loo* democrat.”
Hum ! Cleveland or Bryan brand ?
Ah: We thought so, And usually
voted the republic:.n ticket at presi
dential elections? Ah! We thought
so. And you claimed the other day.
President Baer, that you were a part
ner with Jehovah. And we guess that
claim has as little foundation as the
other. President Li ter you are not a
democrat. But you are an unmeasur- j
able and unclassified scoundrel. That j
you are permitted to live is evidence j
that the ordinary American citizen >s a j
very law abiding creature, and en- i
(lowed w ith a superabundance of pa
tience.
Many jifkes are made about the ex
poss of Messrs Buekstaff and Stout ’
of the methods pursued by Gov. I-a j
Follette to raise money from the in- j
dependent lx*ok concerns by the sacri- i
fice of Snpt. Harvey, and perhaps The |
Times has beeu as prone to that sort !
of thing as anyone else but it is really
a very serious matter, arid will so be j
considered by the people of Wisconsin, i
The people of Wisconsin love justice !
and fair play and have no use for I
shams —no matter to w hat party they
may give adherence —aud there is little
question bnt they will rebuke at the
ballot box the methods employed by
Gov. I-a Follette to obtain funds for his
renomination. It is simply political
debauchery, ami as sm-h should be
repudiated by decent men of ail parties.

FOR MEMBER OF CONGRESS.
. •
BURT WILLIAMS.
Burt Williams, the democratic can
didate for congress in the Tenth con
gressional district is thirty-one years
of age aad is oue of the most prominent
and popular young men in the state.
He was born in Berlin, Wis., in Sep
tember, 1871. and after completing a
course in the schools of that city he
took up newspaper work. After being
employed on the Berlin Daily Journal
for one year he moved to Ashland in
1891 and accepted a position on the
Daily News of that city. In the spring
of 1895 he and his father purchased the
News and have since conducted it with
marked success.
Mr. Williams served two years as
alderman of the city of Ashland and
was president of the council the second
year. In 1901 he was elected mayor of
the city, receiving 2000 votes out of a
total vote cast of 2600, and his
republican opponent was one of the
city’s most prominent business men and
Ashland is a republican city by a con
siderable majority. The city bad been
A Mix Up.
The republicans of lowa, at their re
cent state convention, adopted a plat
form favoring the removal of the tariff
from trust products. Congressman
Henderson, of that state, late speaker
of the House, is opposed to any reduc
tion of the tariff', and takes the ground
that the tariff has nothing to do with
trusts. Nevertheless, the republicans
of his district, after haviug taken part
in the state convention, renominated
Mr. Henderson as their candidate for
congress. Mr. Henderson sees incon
sistency in this, and declines the nomi
nation, saying he does not perceive how
a man holdiug his views can be the can
didate of a party holding the opposite
views, as expressed in the platform of
the republican party of lowa. There
upon leading republicans throughout
tiie land denounce Mi. Henderson,
scoff at his excise for declining, and
express their belief that the real reason
must be “something else.” In one view
this is a strange way to treat Mr. Hen
derson’s aetion. But in the ’light of
modern experience his party colifreres
are in the right. With them platforms
have been mere “vote catchers.” Plat
forms have been for temporary use
during campaigns. They have not
bee l seriously intended. The trouble
with Mr. Henderson would seem to be
inability to appreciate a good joke.
The lowa republican platform was a
good joke. Mr. Henderson seems to
have made the mistake of taking it
seriously. He has no excuse for so
doing. Experience has taught him
otherwise. Therefore we, too, suspect
it must be “something else.”
While talking about the evils of
Populism, it is recalled that it was a
Populist member of congress, Thos.
Watson, v. ho introduced the first reso
lution for the establishing of rural free
mail delivery. It was ridiculed as “vis
ionary,” “paternalistic” and “imprac
ticable” by the “conservatives” but to
day there are a half-dozen mossbaeks
who are trying to steal Watson’s laurels
and he has offered a reward of SI,OOO to
anyoue that will prove that any of these
claimants is entitled to the credit of j
fathering the system.—Milwaukee'
News.
Miss Helen Fiske with “A FU>tal •Slay*” Tonight.
having trouble for several years with
the company that supplied them with
water, and Mr. Williams promised that
if he were elected be would secure bet
ter water for the city, clean out gam
bling dens and dives and would accpm
; plish many more needed reforms. The
i vote of confidence which the people
'gave him was not misplaced, for it is
[admitted on all hands that he more
i than fulfilled his promises and is mak
-1 ing the best mayor the city ever had.
Burt Williams is a young man of
igood charactet, genial in disposition,
1 honorable in all his dealings and makes
[friends readily. He is an exception
! ally good public speaker and as a cam
| paigner has few equals. Mr. Williams
|is well known throughout the Tenth
i congressional district, having made a
[canvass for the democratic ticket two
years ago. As the republican major
ity in this district in the last of year
was but 2457, it can be seen that Mr.
Williams bas an excellent chance of
election.
We like to see republicans and demo
crats united in expressing indignation
at the meddling of the independent
book combine in the ante convention
canvass for the republican nomination
for superintendent of public instruc
tion. The same thing has very likely
been done time aud time again by the
American book trust. And it has com
monly been believed, from time im
memorial almost, that the same thing
has been done and is being done not
only’ in Wisconsin but all over the
country by railroad companies, insur
ance companies, telegraph and tele
phone companies, and similar artificial
monopolies. I*was the misfortune of
the independent book combine and of
Gov. LaFollette that, in this case they
got caught at it. But they deserve no
sympathy on that ground. We do not
usually sympathize with a criminal who
is caught because we know' that there
are other worse criminals who have
not been caught. If the disclosure of
the corrupt deal between the governor
and the bobk combine should prompt
some friend of the governor to ferret
out and publish former transactions of
a similar nature it would be a good
thing.
One advantage a president has, if he
[ loves notoriety, is that every little thing
j he does is reported in the newspapers
under big head lines. When Mr. Roos
velt kills a wild cat, or wild pig, the
universe is duly apprised of the fact,
and that instantly, by the vigilant press.
I The other day Mr. Bryan attended a
fair in Nebraska. As he was leaving
the grounds he saw a big ruffian pound
ing the life out of a smaller man.
Bryau seized the fellow by the collar
and raised him ui> and then flung him
off The ruffian did not relish this treat
ment and drew a knife and went for
Bryan, but the latter grabbed his wrist
and gave it such * wreuch that the knife
dropped on the ground, after which
Bryan picked him up and threw him
over the fence. The news was pub
lished in tbe daily papers, but with no
attractive display of type. Now if it
had happened to be Mr. Roosevelt who
did that the newspapers would have
had special fonts of headline type made
for the occasion. The press dispatches
told us that Mr. Roosevelt came home
after four days campaigning in the South -
“all fagged out.” Can it be ? He
should come to YVisconsin, and study
Strenuosity from David D. Rose.

on Grant street. He had been in ap
parent good health up to Thursday
noon when he left his work and went
home. He fell into a sleep the after
noon of the following day aud at supper
time his wife attempted to awaken him
only to find that he was dead. It is
thought that his death was due to the
rapturing of a blood vessel. Mr. Pradel
was 47 years of age at the time of death
and for twenty-live or more years had
been a resident of Wausau. He is sur
vived by a wife and five children. The
funeral was held Sunday afternoon, the
Rev. F. Sehaer conducting the service,
and was attended by the A. O. U. W.
lodge, of which deceased was a member.
