LYNN WANTS STATE
CAPITAL
"I noticed in the newspapers some time ago there was some talk of
moving the state capital from Madison. As the state capital ought to
be somewhere near the center of the state the people of Lynn and
vicinity believe that Lynn would be the proper place for it. This
place is near the center of the state and located on the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad, the leading railroad of the state.
The people will give a building site gratis in a fine park. Lynn
also has good hotel accommodations."
Max Opelt (Lynn, Wis., Mar. 17, 1904--Dispatch to Milwaukee Sunday
Sentinel).
