Duty of Veterans.
Stand by Robert M. LaFollette
and the Republican Party.

r. X. Beecham, Of Sun Prairie
writes to the State journal under date
of Oct. 81.
In the Madison Democrat Of October
ourteenth appeared an article under
the following headlines: Friendship
for Soldiers. In that article the edi-
tor saws Of IIr La Toilette: Humid
reds Of republican veterans have de-
cleared war upon him and will vote for
This democratic opponent, Capt. A. X.
Bushnell. driven to it BY the utter dis
.reeard Mr.. La Toilette has ever shown
"for their wishes, except Just before
"election time
To sustain this charge, the Democrat
publishes letter from extension Com
missioner Tanner and refers also to a
former letter written by one Van Nor
man. of Milwaukee, who advises all
veterans to vote for Mr. Bushnell, be-
cause Mr. Bushnell was a soldier VIII
you give space in your columns for a
few remarks on this question by a vet
eran who served in the brigade with,
and counts himself friend of, Mr..
Bushnell?
1t is not likely that republican vet
Grams will follow the advice Of Mr.
Van Norman to any great extent. In
this vicinity the veterans, without re-
gard to party affiliations, have found
Mr.. La Toilette always ready to do for
them, personally anything in his power
to do. have frequently heard demo
Gratis make that statement Mr. Bush
nell, if elected, could not be more at
tentive to personal wants Of the yeter-
ans than Mr.. La Toilette has been.
However, this matter Of ready and will
ing attention to their personal requests
is but small part Of the work that
a congressman can do in behalf of the
class of men known as the veterans.

REPUBLICAN WORK FOR SOL
DIERS.

1t is the simple truth, to say that
every measure passed by congress in
the interest Of ex-soldiers was repub-
lean measure, championed by republi-
can members and carried by republican
votes in opposition also to the wishes Of
democratic congressman as expressed
by their votes. For instance, in the
arrears of pension bill, one hundred and
sixteen republicans voted for and none
against it, while forty-eight democrats
only voted for and sixty-one against it,
In the widows pension bill, one hund
red and eighteen republicans voted for
aud none against it. while eighty demo-
Gratis voted for and sixty-six against it.
In the widows arrears bill in the senate,
twenty-five republicans voted for and
none against it, while one democrat
voted for and twenty against the bill
In the last bill passed, the disability
bill, one hundred and seventeen repub-
leans voted for and none against, while
Of the democrats only twenty eight
voted for but fifty-six against the bill
So with every measure that congress
has given us, they are republican meas
ures passed in opposition to democratic
votes and democratic efforts, and since
Mr.. La Toilette has been in congress he
has never failed to vote and work for
the passage of these liberal and just
pension measures. Now let veterans
ponder a moment How would it have
been if Mr. Bushnell had occupied Mr.
Ia Follette's place? How would it
have been had the democrats been in
the majority in congress? The only
pension bill the democratic house of
representatives. ever passed or allowed
to pass while the democrats were in the
majority was the dependent pension bill,
which ex- Presidant Cleveland vetoed,
and every democrat was ready to sus-
tain that veto Elect Mr.. Bushnell to
congress in place of Mr.. La Toilette
and we all know that he will vote with
his party against the interests Of veter-
ans every time Certainly Mr. Bushnell
is no better than his party; he could
not be if in congress, at all events, for
there the great southern democratic
dog wags the somewhat insignificant
northern democratic tail, and every hair
on that tail must lie in the same direc-
ton and never stand erect except when
the dog shows its teeth, and then in
obeyance to the part that wears the head
and it is beyond dispute that the south
ern democratic dog always shows it:
teeth when a pension measure is advo
Gated. If veterans. republicans or dem
ocratic, can see wherein their interests
will be advanced by electing Mr.. Bush
nell to congress, their vision must b
warped by some personal feeling or part,
prejudice.

WHERETH VETERANS STAND

The veterans of this congressional
district, and in fact of these United
States, have a deeper interest il the
election Of congressman than their own
particular wants, personal or otherwise,
and when you find man who wore the
blue and upheld the old flag, who now
has no deeper interest in the welfare of
the nation he helped save from disaster
and destruction, except hiss individual
wants; who is willing to bury every
question of justice, morality and pro
gress to satisfy his own selfish desires,
he may be democrat, he certainly can
not be a republican. In all the great
issues of the day, wherein the people
are divided, great majority Of the vet
Grams stand with the party of progress
as firmly as when they stood in battle
line against armed treason, for America
first, for full and complete vindica-
ton Of the cause for which they stood
and for their country, the fruits of the
victory they won, second, and last, for
themselves justice at the hands of their
countrymen.
If there is a veteran in the Third
district who world forego all these
things let him cast his vote for Mr..
Bushnell, who will, if elected, simply
vote with his party in that direction

the county; democratic sympathy Is not
built that way.
Now. word relative to Mr.. Tanner :
letter, which opens up as follows: Il
have to say that / thought, and still
think that the Hon. Mr. La Toilette
succeeded very thoroughly IN making an
ass Of himself regarding the appoint
ment Of the doctors on the pension ex-
aiming board at Madison, Wiscon-
sin.
Itrequires no strain on the memory
to recollect the time when every demo
cratic paper in the land thought and
said that Commissioner Tanner, to use
Mr.. Tanners elegant English, was
making an ass of himself but that
was no proof that he was guilty.
4 SOLDIER ON THE BOARD.
Mr.. Tanner then goes on
that Gen Fairchild recommended the
surgeon of his regiment as one member
Of the board Of three, while Mr. La
Toilette three doctors, neither Of whom
Gn Mr. Tanners recollection were ex-
soldiers, and objected strongly to the
one recommended by Gen Fairchild, but
that he, Tanner, appointed the doctor
recommended by the general and two Of
the doctors recommended BY Mr. La Fol
lette.
As the board thus appointed consists
of Drs. Ward, Fox and Boyd, the first
of whom were army surgeons, it is plain
that Mr.. La Toilette recommendation
included at least one army surgeon
This, then, is the sum total OF Nr. La
Toilette offending as against the vet
Grams according to the Tanner letter.
unless, we take into consideration the
disrespect shown by Mr. La Toilette to
Mr. Tanner, and it strikes me that the
republican veterans OF the Third dis
trict Of Wisconsin will, in this instance.
give their attention more particularly
to electing a congressman who will rep
resent them in congress rather than
avenging some imaginary wrong suffer
ed by the x-commissioner, especially
when that wrong or disrespect is brought
to their attention by paper that
year ago was not, to say the least, over
ready to champion the cause Of the ex-
commissioner.
