UPHOLOS STATE TICKET
THE REPUBLICAN TICKET WILL WIN
From Top to Bottom, Says Senator QuarIes
An Enthusiastic Audience Hears His
Address Tuesday Evening.

Senator Joseph V. Quarles was
heard at the Opera House Thursday
evening. In spite of the inclemency
OF the weather he was greeted with a
large audience. Senator Quarles is
widely known as powerful orator
ana MS speech here certainly was a
tine Oratorical gem from beginning to
end. He was generously applauded
throughout his speech, but especially
when he paid tributes to the late
President Mckinley, President ROose-
welt, Senator SpOOner and Congress-
man Webster E. Brown.
Senator Quarles said that President
Roosevelt was a worthy successor to
President Mckinley. The best way
to describe him. he said. was to liken
him to an electric dynamo. He is full
of energy. He has clear head and
an honest heart. He is a typical
American and Republican and stands
for all the people. President Roose-
Velt is an honest man whom no corpora
ton, no matter how great, can Swerve
from the path of duty, man who
fears not to speak to any trust. no
matter how arrogant. [ can imagine
how he handled the coal barOns with
out gloves: Elf you don't come off
your perch mighty quick, you will
hear something drop"
Senator QuarleS was cheered when
ne said: ''The state ticket will be
elected from top to bottom. 1t is
only question of how large the
majority will be. | will throw my
influence and vote for the whole
ticket. In every phase Of our govern
ment the majority must rule. The
Republican ticket nominated at Madi-
son was approved by the majority of
the party and has therefore my sup
| port"
He said that there was a danger Of
| losing the next house of Representa-
tiyes. That would mean that the
administration would be hampered
and reforms would be postponed.
| With Democrats in control of the
rejecting honor and credit upon the
Republican party. Il understand
| that there is a spirited contest in this
district by the candidates for congress.
L have had the pleasure to know your
congressman, Webster e. Brown, for
a number of years. AS soon as he was
elected two years ago, l went to the
speaker of the house and said, we
have good man from Wisconsin and
we want him placed upon a good
committed What cOmmittee?'
asked the speaker. l told him the
Indian committee. The speaker
shook his head, saying it was impos-
Slble as Mr.. Brown was new man,
| but called again in few days and,
sure enough, Mr.. Browns name was
placed as member of the Indian
committee. His work on that COM
mlttee has proven that Mr.. Brown is
a bright. clear-headed, clean business
man. No new member has made
better record than Mr.. Brown. A
man came to me one day in Washing
ton and said: why that man Web
ster Brown is a jim-dandy!' Leave
him in Washington and he will be-
come one of the best members there
He will grow in the mmittees and
will thus accomplish a great deal for
his district. What would be accom-
plished by sending Democrat? The
district would lose prestige by doing
SO. For: on what committee do you
think that new Democratic member
would be placed? Very likely he
would go to the tail end of the woman's
suffrage committee, there to enjoy
himself by listening to Susan B.
Anthony. Elect Mr.. Brown and you
will have man whom you know will
stand by your stalWart PRESIDENT"
'lf you want to do your part in
pOstponing tariff reform, the settling
OF the trust question, vote for the
Democratic candidate for congress.
There is one more man you want also
to send back and that is my distin-
guiShed colleague, Senator John G.
SpooDer. Send him back to shine in
the national armament, star of the
first magnitude"
