OF years in politics are counted upon
to bring out but light vote. OF those
who stay at home fully seventy-fve per
cent. are Republicans. This is not
merely anhypothesis but demonstrated
fact. So clearly has it been demonstrat
ed in the past that The Democrats Of
Wisconsin are basing any faint hopes
they may have of success this year
largely upon this proposition.
In other Jrds they are working tooth
and nail to get out every democratic
vote, depending upon stay at home Re-
publicans and the few votes withdrawn
from that party by the Prohibitlonists
to elect their ticket. Their chances Of
success will be in exact proportion to the
Indifference exhibited by Republicans.
Every member of that party must
make it a personal matter and not only
cast his own vote in support of the re-
representatives. Of those principles which
have for over twenty years been the
prop and mainstay of this republic, but
see that his neighbor does the same To
the question ''am my brothers keep
err The answer must in the present
instance be invariably yes" The time
in which to work is but short and the
ar eyiation must be supplied by earnest
ness and intensity during the time re-
naming Every Republican in Giant
County should consider himself from
this time forth until election day an

BILE for any falling off in the vote of the

There are Republican votes enough in
this state of Wisconsin, should they all be
polled, to bury the Democratic skeleton
and its unnatural ally so deep, that as
force in politics, they will never be
heard of again. Now see to it that

The Nations Hero.

We have too much lost the ancient
fashion of-hero worship. 1t is that
which, in one shape or another, brings
ideal manhood out of bestial sayagery.
And the story of this sick-room and this
death-bed win mold many an impress
Sionable youth into something of like
ness of its hero; working out. It may be,
centuries hence. into fine, exalted type
of national character. The people who
would not rise to higher plane in the
contemplation of man. who. for eleven
long weeks, bore without a rebelious
murmur such raeking pain as few of us.
happily, can even conceive; who cast
himself trustfully upon the great heart
of the nation that Twill not let the old
soldier die" who struggled on for the
sake of that people, day after day, keep
ing death at bay by will-power. when

ness would have been paradise OF
peace after pain-a people to whom
such an example is nothing more than
a nine days wonder, ought to be swept
away like vermin from the shrinking
earth. Many men have died for the
country that they loved and knew. Jas.

unpictured republic that is yet to come.
