There are some very interesting figures

with great interest:

country, 47.S0 per cent. own their farms

A German Democratic Paper Boiling 1t,
Party Nominee for CONGRESS-

From the Appleton Post: The Annie
ton Wecker of this week, German Dem,
ocratic paper of large circulation and
influence, bolts outright the nominee of
its party for Congress. And it is sustained
in its position by nine out Of ten of its
readers No wonder. The Wecker gives
many reasons, but sufficient one is that
that the Democratic congressional nomi-
nee, few years ago, hurled his whole
vocabulary Of vile epithets against the
Germans of this county, simply because
they were Germans who believed in exer-
cising their constitutional right of inde-
pendent political action, now and then,
in order 10 promote a good purpose.
Neither are the Germans likely to for
get that he was conspicuous champion
Of the Bennett law in the fall of 1890
and did not change his attitude until he
thought it was necessary in order to
feather his political nest. Unlike most
Republicans, his support of that measure
proceeded from his deep-seated hatred of
that nationality because Of the habit Of
parties when, in their opinion, public in
tcrests may demand such action.
Most Germans have the nerve to vote
according to their convictions, whether
the professional politician likes it or not
To those Germans Democrats who are
lacking in this respect the Australian
ballot will afford a neat little instrument
to thrust between the political ribs of
their malignant cenSor-thc Democratic
congressional nominee.
