fishers to trade it out" and
yet, in some towns, merchants
who just advertise occasionally
will stand on their hind feet and
"forbid" country publishers to
insert mail-order ads. The
remedy for the city buying Is
for all local merchants to
spread abroad the news of their
particular bargains-and then
the people will find out that it
really pays them to trade at
home and that will help both
parties!
The Missourian does not So
licit any mail-order ads and has
refused several. 1t pays home
N erchants to advertise--and
the only ad that pays the coun-
try publisher is the home ad.
Customers should trade at

should advertise in home papers

W eek to hold the attention of
the trade.
The above from the Richmond
Missourian is straight to the
point. Like the MIssourian,
the DEMOCRAT has turned down
several mail order, house adver-
meuts and if we had any cut
rates to offer any one the home
merchant would always get the
low rates. but the DEMOCRAT
has one price only. There is
no paper anywhere that stands
closer by the interests of the
home merchants and the people
of the country surrounding the

IT PAYS TO TRADE AT HOME.

The exhortation of Trade
At Home" is an old one-and be-
cause of its age it is none the
less true. That trading at home
is best brings up the question
of "Why trade at homer"
There are two parts to the
answer. OneSrefers to the gen.
eral and the Sother to the per-
sonal interest of the individual.
First:--One should trade
(buy) at home of home mer-
chants because ithelps the town
and fostersshome pride and local
enterprise. Every purchase
made of city or mail order deal
ers is, in a sense, a nail driven
into the coffin of your town!
Second and finally.-The
first reasonlSdoes not reach
everybo dy,-the independent
citizen answers: "Sir, l want

A LITTLE LIGHT ON HOST.

The Office of insurance com
missioner for the state of Wiscon-
sin naturally carries with it a
salary, but in comparison to the
fees exacted by the commission
er for the examination of the
great numb Der of companies do
ing business IN Wisconsin, the
salary of Mr.. Host is a pittance.
The PRUDENTIAL Insurance com
pany objected to charge of $21,
O24 for the examination made by
Mr.. Host, and the commissioner
retorted that if this bill was not
paid the license of the company
to do business in Wisconsin
would be revoked. The Pruden-
tial is only one of the many large
companies that have been held
up, and the testimony of Mr..
Host in the examination of the
matter, gives the people consider
able to think about. The Even
ing Wisconsin in an editorial on
the matter, published last Fri
day, has the following:

Zeno M. Host, insurance commits


who is a candidate for reelection
on the ticket with Robert M. La
Toilette, is magazine of informa-
ton on many matters relating to
the manner in which affairs are con-
Quoted under the present reform
administration. Commissioner Host
was on the witress-stand yesterday
before Court Commissioner Wollaeg-
er. in the course Of legal proceed
ings designed to induce him to di-
vulge under oath some Of the inter
esting and important things he
knows.
"The particular transaction under
investigation was the examination
of the Prudential Insurance Com
pany, which was conducted by Com
missioner Host and $21, 1924, which
enormous charges the company now
believes to have been illegal.
commissioner Host testified that
he acted with the counsel of the at
torney general of Wisconsin, l.. M.
Sturdevant. who himself was one Of
the agents employed by Hostsin the
course of the work, receiving $759.78
for his services. Sturdevant's
charges were at the rate Of $50 a
day and S. day additional for ex-
penses. Commissioner Host himself
took a hand in the examination,
charging for his personal part in it
at the rate of $50 day and s. day
for expenses. The sum which he
drew from the Prudential was $1152
Among the Employees of the Wiscon-
sin Insurance department who went
east to bear hand in the profitable
work of examining the Prudential
were Deputy Commissioner W. G..
End, whose annual salary from the
state is $1,000, but who for his labors
during this outside enterpri Sc re-
ceived $S31.80 Examiner Pa ul D.
Gurnes, whose annual salary is $1,000,
was paid $1013.40 for this expert
work, and Actuary John Neddersen
who also is on the payroll of the
state in the insurance department
for $1,000 year, drew $1498 40 from
the Prudential.
Commissioner Host admitted that
when the officers of the Prudential
objected to paying the bills for the
examination as they were presented
he sent them letter notifying them
that if the bills were not paid he
would feel it his duty to revoke the
company's license for transacting
business in Wisconsin. . The Com
missioner testified that he did not
regard his letter as threat The
considered it a courteous notifca-
ton.
1.-THE salaries of the state employees
who participated in the examination
of the Prudential went on while they
were performing this well-paid work
outside the state.
In response to question as to
his contribution to the La Toilette
campaign fund, Commissioner Host
testified that he paid $1,000 into the
fund last April.
"Did Sturdevant contribute to
the La Toilette campaign fund? Did
End and Gurnee and Neddersen?
Definite inform alton is not available
as yet, as the Sc partlcipators in the
proceeds of the Prudential s exam
ination have not been put upon the
stand.
"The revelations of Insurance
Commissioner Host constitute by
themselves matter enough for mar
vel and reflection. Voters will do
we'll to consider the full significance
of the state of things which the
testimony Of Zeno M. Host has laid
bare !"

sTALWARTS UPHELD.

buOI OuSn " OSCiA ueooAS-A
differences which accustomed
the election of two sets Of dele
gates to the republican national
convention, therepublicannation-
al committee, composed entirely
of the greatest political lights IN
the coun try, by unanimous vote,
decided in favor Of the stalWarts,
and seated the delegation COM
posed of Senator John G. Spoon
er. Senator Joseph V. Quarles,
Congressman Joseph W. Bah
cock and Judge Emil Baensch.
AS the national republican com
mittee is the recognized supreme
authority of the party, and as its
decisions are usually accepted
by the state courts as authOri
tive. the action of the committee
will perhaps nave a tremendous
influence upon the mandamus
proceedings to be instituted by
the stalwarts to compel the
secretary Of state to place the
ticket headed by Samuel A. Cook
on the official ballot as the regu-
lar state ticket of the republican
party.
The points at issue in the con-
troversy have been so closely
contested, and the question of a
majority for either faction has
been so thoroughly obscured that
the action of the national commit
tee is really the first unpreju-
diced opinion that the people of
Wisconsin have had to go by.
Boiling is and ought to be con-
demned under ordinary condi-
tions, but when there is such
fragrant violation of all fair deal
ing as charged at Madison, and
when a MAORI y, by unscrupolous
meth DDS, is turned into a minor.
ity, then some methods which
ordinarily would not betolerated,
are adopted, there must neces-
sarily follow some good explana.
ton for such a course. The ma
tional committee evidently found
the case a clear one. as there was
not dissenting vote on the com
mittee, which is composed of
fifty-two of the ablest men in the
nation. Stalwarts throughout
the state are consequently jubil-
ant, while the LaF'olotte people
characterize the act of the COM
mittee as having been "cut and
dried" a "steal, etc.
The TIMES publishes below
the comments of four principal
newspapers of the state upon
the action of the committee:
The Milwaukee Sentinel, the lead
ing stalwart organ of the state, says
in part:
''After this decision can there be
any doubt as to the merits of the
case? Is it conceivable that I'M
animous vote could have been secur-
ed had there been two sides to the
question? f the LaFollette conten-
+ ons were sound and the LaFoilette
cause just, then it must be granted
that one honest man could. not be
found among ffty-two leading re
publicans from as many states and
territories to support the right. No
sane man could believe such thing,
1.-THE convention that elected the
delegates who will be seated in the
national convention also nominated
a state ticket. The ticket, at the
head of which appears the name of
S. A. Cook. is the republican state
ticket.
"This result has been reached by
fair means. There has been no bull
doing, no threats to defeat republi-
can presidential electors, no attempt
to brighten the president of the
United States. The case was fairly
presented. The records made by
the state administration and the old
state central committee we're fully

The Milwaukee Journal. demo-
era tic, whose principal aim in the
field of politics seems to be to make
trouble for everybody, says in part:
"The Stalwarts now have leg to
stand on. The action of the nation
al Republican committee in giving
their delegation from Wisconsin
ats in the national Republican
convent ton is more of good thing
for the Stalwarts than it is bad for
La Toilette; it butts the governor
but it makes the opposing faction.
The convention will doubtless con-
firm the action of the committee.
1.-The. fact is the course pursued at
Chicago so far is exactly like the
procedure at Madison. The state
committee decided that certain dele
gates were entitled to 60 on the
temporary roll, just as the national
committee has done with respect to
the Wisconsin delegation to the ma
tional convention. At Madison the
stalwarts held that the state com
mittee could do no more than pass
on the certificates of delegates.
The Half Breeds claimed that the
committee had power to 60 into the
merits of the cases; that it did so,
and that the conven ton voted to &C
cept their report.
1.-THE national committee certain
ly went into the merits of the Wis
consin case and apparently decided
upon them. Of course convention
made up as was the gymnasium con-
vention could be fraudulently
governed. 1t was in the power of
the state committee to unseat any
number of delegates, until it had
the conven ton to it's liking. Take
five men and let four vote on the
fifth mans case; it is easy to swing
around the circle until all are elect
ed, and you have body that will do
anything you wish. Yet in the
national convention the same trick
can be played. If there were q
great fight over candidates or policy

The Sentinel this morning will be
found the story of the hearing and
the basis of the decision is there
X
'The republican national conven-
ton is the court of last resort for all
loyal republicans. 1t is the highest
political tribunal. Its decisions are
final. Those who refuse to submit
to its authority voluntarily put
themselves outside the pale of the
party and b ecame boilers. t t
The Evening Wisconsin, generally
considered as the most conservative
republican newspaper in the west,
has been supporting the stalwarts
for several months, and under the
heading 1.-The Triumph of Justice
and Right" says:
There is naturally great rejoicing
among the trustworthy republicans
of Wisconsin because they have won
in the encounter before the national
committee. That decision is forum
ately unanimous on the right side.
The committee consists of fifty
members; and there was not a man
of the fifty who stood up tor the La
Toilette faction in this controversy
simply and justly because the third
termers had weak and f1imsy case.
They could not inject life into a dead
body, and therefore the leaders
failed.
"This does not end the battle.
The controversy will come before
the national convention in Chicago
on Tuesday next, and that great
body will render the final Judgment.
Some Of the fanatical disciples of the
irregular side say that their case
was badly presented. It was not.
The Governor had aided and super
vised Chynoweth and Roe, and they
failed because they had weak and
indefensible case principally based
upon wild assertions that could not
stand against the solid facts pre-
sented by John M. DIN.
The battle is not over. Republi-
cans should understand that the
final fight will come before the
national convention on June 21st.
If the trustworthy Republicans win
there by large majority, the third
termers will become boilers. and
traitors to the grand old Republican
party of the United States.
ave say to all good citizens, do
not rejoice, but be thankful to the
Giver of all good that you have won
the grst encoun ter with one of the
most dangerous politicians in the
United States, who in his despera-
tiop is preparing to attempt'a crusae
against every law-abiding property
holder in Wisconsin, in order to in
cite the poor against those who have
little more property than them
selves. Therefore keep your powder
dry, and be prepared for the final
onset of avarice, greed ard rapacity
to rule state which has already
acquired grand name among the
common ealths of the American
Union.

The Superior Telegram, one of
the most conservative republican
papers in the state, says that the
LaF'ollette people and the "stal-
warts" have each had com NIT
tee apiece, and each enjoyed a
great victory over the other, and
that now the stalwarts should
withdraw their ticket and let Mr..
LaFollette have a clear field for
the governorship. The sugges-
ton is not SO bad, but it is more
than likely to fall entirely upon
deaf ears.
