Show FRIENDLY POLITICAL RIVALS. ' Governor T'eck of Wisconsin Says a Good Word For His Opponent. Major Bill Upham, the Republican nominee for governor, was the first outsider out-sider to put in an appearance at Phillips, Phil-lips, the little town that has jnst been obliterated by fire. Walking among the ruins, he met the postmaster of the plaee. "What's become of your coat?'" asked Upham. "Egad, I lost it in the fire," said the postmaster. "I haven't got a stitch of clothes except such as I have on now." Bill whipped off his coat in a second. "Take my coat, " says he. "I've got another an-other at home. Take it, and when you get through with it pass it along to some other fellow that needs it " An hour later Governor Peck arrived at Phillips, and the postmaster waa telling tell-ing him how Bill Upham had made him take and wear his coat, while he (Bill) was going around in his shirt sleevea "Yes, that's just like Bill," said Peck. "He has probably given away his shirt by this time, and his pantaloons, panta-loons, and his shoes and socks. Bill never stands around and lets other people peo-ple suffer when he can help 'em. The chances are that oy tne time ne gets ready to quit this place he'll have to walk to the train in a barrel. " This incideut illustrates very fairly the kindly feeling that exists between the two gubernatorial candidates. To be ture, Peck has not yet been renominated, renom-inated, but his renomination seems a foregono conclusion. Chicago Record. |
