WISCONSIN DEMOCRATS
ABANDONING BRYAN

Mr. Hartmann has always been sound
money man and was forced to bolt the
Democratic national ticket in '96, it
was not until his recent visit to the
old country and because Of what he
saw and heard there that he deter
mined to cut loose altogether from the
party of Bryan. While" says Mr..
Hartmann, 81 love the Fatherland as
the place of my birth, must now as
an American citizen place the interests
of the United States first. / am not a
politician, but if the people Of foreign
countries see in Bryan's election cut
ting off of this trade from our mer-
chants and manufacturers, then it is
easy to see with which party the best
interest of this country lies" Mr.. Hart
mann knows of two other business men
of Wisconsin who went over to Europe
Democrats and came back Republicans.
One Of them is well known Manito-
woo merchant, the other lives in Port
Washington. Mr.. Hartmann believes
that more Germans will vote for Nc
Kinley this year than did in sc. as they
are all strongly against the upsetting
of either the monetary system Of the
country or trade conditions.

lney: Il have never been Republican

form. Being convinced that Mr.. Bry-
ans election would result in disaster
to the country at large, presently or
ultimately / must refuse to aid or lend
comfort in any way to doctrines which
are so pregnant with evils. Nor can
find in the issue of imperialism any
real excuse for supporting Mr. Bryan
and implicitly endorsing his financial
and Populistic heresies, an issue
raised to distract the attention
of the voter, and especially Gold
Democrats from these fallacies the
dangers of which were so thor
oughly exposed in the last election.
The best interests of the country de-
mand at this time the defeat of Mr..
Bryan and his principles. / feel, there
fore, that it is my duty to exert what
little influence l may command in OPP
posing his election, and to cast my
vote as my convictions dictate, for Nc

fore the campaign is over. Mr.. Johnston
said: Eyes, l am a Republican, for the

Should the movement toward stats

lahoma be pressed with sufficient force
by the people of those territories. it is
possible that the present congress will
give us three new states. Should they
he admitted the union of stars and
stripes will be complete within the
boundaries of what is popularity called
the United States. Yhe history of the
growth of the union is interesting. The
first state admitted after the organiza-
ton of the government was Vermont in
il79l. This was followed by Kentucky
in 1892, Tennessee in 1896 and Ohio in
1903. The first state carved out of the
Louisiana Purchase to be admitted was
Louisiana, 1912, followed by Missouri in
1921. After that no other state was adj
mitted until 1886, when Arkansas came
in. OF the Mexican cession California
was the first to enter, in 1850. the latest
being Utah, in 1896. 1t is a curious

New Mexico would come in immediate.
