DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION.
TO SELECT STATE AND CON.
CRESSIONAL DELEGATES.
Small Attendance at the Con.
vention Saturday Afternoon
With Actions Entirely
Harmonious.

There was none Of the noise and
buster which seemed certain in the
former convention to rent the demo-
cracy of WiDnesheik county in twain,
at the democratic county convention
at the temporary court room in the j..
J. Marsh building on Saturday after
noon. In fact there was only small
gathering of the faithful, and their
deliberations were throughout har-
monious and peaceful.
NJ. A. Kubish of Fort Atkinson was
made temporary chairman and Jno.
Bernatz of Decorah temporary secre-
tary. On motion of Dan Shea the
chair appointed committee on cre-
dentials consisting of l.. 7. Fosse of
Ridgeway, Dan Shea of Decorah and
NJ. J. Carter of Ossian. After delib-
Grafton the committee reported dele
cations present with credentials from
Military, Lincoln, Bluffton, Washing
ton and Decorah townships, and the
first, second and fourth wards of De-
corah, and recommended that E. E
Schuck and H. S. E. Renken of the
third ward and Thos. Fleming of FIRE.
mont be given seats in the convention.
The report was adopted. On motion
the temporary organization was made
permaLt NJ. J. Carter then moved
that the chair appoint two committees
of three each to select delegates to the
state and congressional conventions.
The following were appointed:
State Convention M. j. Carter,
Dan Shea, L. t. Fosse.
Congressional Convention :-B. Elzea
A. Bernatz, II. S. E. Renken.
These committees reported the fol-
lowing for delegates, and the reports
were adopted.

10. Trigg'S Philosophy.

Now. seriously. the demand for a
reduced tariff on certain commodities
for instance. steel, lumber and other
staples, is desired solely for the reason
that it is believed a reduction in tariff
would cheaper the cost of such com
modities to the consumer. Now is it
not true that such reduction will ine-
vitably be offset by reduction OF
wages for the labor employed in their
production? To put it plain If Ameri-
can manufacturers of steel or other
products must compete with the
worlds product of cheap labor, does
any sane man suppose that the wage
scale here will not of necessity CORE
spond to that of the country which
pays the smallest wage and so produces
the cheapest steel? .Reduoed wages
here means restricted purchasing
power by producers of farm pro-
ducts, and this in turn means lower
prices for the farmer. 1t is we'll to
think this problem over.

The Right Time to Advertise

Those business men who do not be-
lieve it profitable to advertise during
"the dull summer months should
note the catalogues arriving from the
mail order houses at this time. These
firms know that the merchants in
small towns quit advertising at this
time of the year, and so they food the
country with their ads and gain big
victory while their competitors are
waiting for business to pick up.
When business is light is just the time
it needs stimulating, and it's better
to do little advertising all the time
than to do lot of it at one time and
none at some other time. If you don I
believe it jest watch the business OF
the steady advertiser. -Ey.
