MAKE ITARECORD BREAKER

Republicans should not be content
with the election of Roosevelt and
La Toilette by a mere majority.
This is record-breaking year in
crops, in foreign trade in postal
receipts, in almost every branch of
trade and finance. Make it record
breaking year also Ia the tremendous
vote cast for the Republican candi-
dates. Do not even be satisfied with
beating all previous maiorities, but
make the election of Roosevelt and
La Toilette as near unanimous as
possible.
There are two things TO be en-
phasized on the 9Th of November, an
endorsement of half century Of
Republicanism and all that the
policies of the party have brought to
our country and our people; and a
condemnation of the convictiOrleSs
candidate and party of opposition.
Make no plans for election day till
you have seen to it that your neigh
boris vote is cast. Give whole day
of your life every two or four
years, if need be to your party, to
your country, and to the best interests
of your family and home. An over
whelming vote for the candidates of
the Republican party this year will
insure the continuance Of that party
when the boys will see to it that the
wise policies of Repubiicanism are
sustained and continued till the end
of the party's second half century.
Make the vote for Roosevelt and
La Toilette as near unanimous az
possible on the Sth of November.

AT the coming session senator to
succeed Mr.. Quaries is to be chosen.
The indications are that this election
will be attended with spirited
contest. However that may be it is
Of the utmost impor canoe, not only to
the people of Wisconsin's Republican
representation in the senate shall
remain unbroken. Who the can
didates may be is not at this time
known, but The people of this county
know where MIR. Carpenter stands.
At the time OF his nomination he
state d that his first choice would be
Judge Chas. NJ. Webb, in the event
if his being candidate. This choice
will certainly meet with the approval
of the Republicans of the county, all
OF whom know of Judge Webb's
rugged honesty, ability and personal
worth. Two years ago Mr.. Carpenter
secured the largest majority of any
candidate on the ticket and there is
no reason why his majority should
not be increased at this time

CAN WE AFFORD TO
DO ANYTHING ELSE

In this hour Of differences Of opinion
on men and measures We should not
lose sight of this fact, that whether
We believe in this or that. or whether
we favor Ibis or that man, we are all
Republicans, and that Republican sue
cess at the polls is of greater import
ance than to satisfy our own personal
ideas as IL matt tiers on which we differ.
The Republican national ticket is
headed by Theodore Roosevelt, the
Republican state ticket is headed by
Robert N. LaFollette, the Republican
candidate for congress. the state
senate. assembly and county officers
have been regularly nominated 10
Republican conversations. Now what
is the plain duty of every Republican
| worthy the name? just this, tn give
that Whole Republican ticket from
top to bottom hearty and loyal sup
| port. This is no Time to air our own
differences; this is the time to fall in
line for the whole ticket from Roose-
velt to coroner.
The Republican party stands for
progress; the Republican party repre-
sents today the national spirit Of the
American people: the Republican
party stands for the protection of the
American citizen at home and abroad:
the Republican party stands for pro-
| lection to American industry and
American labor. TIE Republican
party of today is the same as in the
days of Lincoln, Grant, Garfield.
Blaine and Mckinley. President
! Roosevelt is holding aloft the flag
carried by Lincoln. Grant, Garfield,
| Blaine aud Mckinley. From Roose-
Welt to coroner the men on the
Republican ticket carry the same
flag. AS Republicans can We afford to
desert any of our standard-bearerS
because we differ on minor state
issues? Can we afford to turn the
state government over to the Demo-
Gratis because we differ on minor state
issues? Can we afford to defeat our
candidate for congress and the state
Legislative ticket because we differ
on minor state issues? Most assuredly
not. Now is the time for all Repub-
licans to stand shoulder to shoulder
AID give the straight ticket their
hearty and undivided support. We
can settle our family quarrel after
wards.
Remember We are Republicans;
members OF the Grand Old Party: the
party that has written the most
glorious pages in American history.
The Republican party has future as
we'll Jas past. Shall we cloud the
future in Wisconsin-in Wood
county-because we honestly differ
on minor state issues? Mr.. editor, it
seems to me that now above all time
in the party's history, in this state, we
should submerge our own individual
ideas in the political sea and go in
and with might and main help to
carry to victoly the principles OF the
Republican party. AS Republicans
can we afford to do anything else?-

DANGEROUS Politics.

The efforts made by the Democratic
campaign managers TO stir up trouble
for the government in Panama is not
calculated to Inspire the people with
confidence in either the candidate or
his party. Indeed. some of the
Parker leaders have gone SO far as to
have kilograms seut from Colombia
that the republic was about to invade
Panama, where conflict with United
States marines had taken place. Now
there is not one word of truth in all
of these sensational statements.
which were manufactured for partisan
purposes. Our Panama policy is a
national and not a partisan policy,
and the attempts TO emparrass it,
however intended, is an offense
against the nation.
The building of the Panama canal
is not a partisan question. The great
body Of the American people without
regard to party have signifed their
approval Of the enterprise, and it is
unfortunate, to say the least, that
the Democratic managers should as
sumo the attitude they have in
relation to Panama. When the
treaty with Panama was under dis
cussion in the senate, public sentiment
was sounded on the subject, and the
response was highly favorable to the
treaty. The leading commercial
bodies of the south were for ratifica.
tion and memorialized congress ia
that behalf. They united with the
commercial bodies of the north in.the
decision that the treaty represented
the best interests of the whole United
States and should be accepted. Mr..
German, the leader OF his party in
the senate, tried to show his party's
strength in that body against ratif.
cation, but was unable to do SO. For

nearing the last Of his unfOrtu nate
statement-made in carefully pre-
pared magazine article--in which he
compared the inexperienced President
Buchanan. Undoubtedly Mr.. Cleve-
land saw in Buchanan's adminiStra-
tiOn one so like his own that the
similarity struck him as worthy Of
comment. Indeed the comparison
between the two Democratic admins
trations is so startling that it is no
wonder Mr.. Cleveland discovered that
it would fit Judge Parker as we'll as
himself. Just read the following ex-
tracts from messages sent to congress
by President Buchanan and President
Cleveland and you will see they COM
pare like two peas IN a pod. President
Buchanan wrote:
with unsurpassed plenty in dll the
productions and all the elements OF
natural wealth our manufactures
have suspended; are public works are
retarded; are private enterprises are
abandoned: and thousands Of useful
laborers are thrown out of employ.

possessed all the elements Of material
wealth in rich abundance, and yet
Notwithstanding all these advantages,
our country in it's monetary interest,
is in deplorable condition."
Now read the wall of despair that
President Cleveland sent to congress
| in 1893:
with plenteous crops, with abun.
dant promise of rcmunerative produc'
tion and manufacture, with unusual
Invitation to safe investment, and
with satisfactory assurance to business
enterprises, suddenly financial feal
and distrust have sprung up on every
side. Numerous moneyed institutions
have suspended *Surviving cor
porations and individuals are con
tent to keep ia hand the money they
are usually anxious to loan. \
And loss and failure have involved
every branch of business.
Was there ever a comparison more
striking? Is 1t any wonder the
American people do not desire to con
tinue this unfortunate comparison b,
the election Of another Democratic
president SO like Cleveland anC
Buchanan? No such walls were ever
sent up by Republican admins

Errors for Democracy

A few years ago Democrats were
telling us that there wasn't gold
enough in the country to Justify
making it the standard by law. Today
there is so much of it that it has
become drug in New York City and
tradesmen decline to receive it in
payment for goods, preferring either
paper or silver as matter of con-
venience. The Republicans predicted
precisely this state OF things They
said, let it be understood that all
other kind Of currency is based
upon and redeemable in gold, and the
people will not want the yellow metal
for use as currency in the transaction
of ordinary business. But as Judge
Parker has said that the gold standard
has been irrevocably settled, it is
useless to argue the question, and
mention is made of existing conditions
with reference to gold merely to
remind the readers that nothing has
ever happened as the Democratic
party said it would, and that every
promise of the Republican party has
been fulfilled, showing that the
former is party of errors and bad
judgement, while the latter is party
OF sound principles and political
foresight.

The Poor Men in Politics.

The poor man is in the majority
In this country, and the majority
should rule. 1t is, however, a
deplorable fact that the majority
does not. rule, that is the majority
composed of the poor man. He may
not be aware of the fact. but it is
fact nevertheless that for more than
two generations he has been Surren-
dering little by little his voice in
government, and becoming more and
more merely the means to the end
employed by the rich man. In other
words the poor man has now become
merely vote to be counted in the
battle of ballots directed by the rich
men of the country. The poor man
in politics amounts to but very
little more than the ballot which he
casts.
That the poor man should have so
degenerated politically is something
that cannot be easily understood.
AS citizen he has every right that
his more fortunate brother has, he
has every privilege that the rich man
has, In proportion to his possession
of worldly goods he has even greater
responsibility to himself and those
dependent on him, for he has not only
his political duties to be discharged
according as the welfare of his
country may direct, but the further
duty Of restraining those who would
profit at the expense of the country.
which means at the expense of him
self. The poor man has both an
offensive part to play in the politics
of this country, and the ability with
which he plays his part determines
his statue, not simply in politics
but in citizenship. If his lot
be hard his neglect of duty will
make it still harder. If conditions
surrounding him be discouraging, his
performance of duty may alleviate
them.
1t is useless for the poor man to cry
out against the rich man, for he can
accomplish nothing in the protection
and promotion of his own interests
in this way. What he needs to do
if he would improve his condition, if
he would exercise all the rights and
privileges of citizenship, is to
assert those rights and maintain
them by the constitutional means
and methods which it is his duty to
use. He may indulge in political
theories, but such indulgence only
postpenes the time when he must, if
he would rise, become something
more than the ballot he casts, the man
who is counted.

FROM THE ASHES
Baltimore Family's Experience Points q
Moral to Residents Of Grand Rapids.

NOFai 10 Residents Of Ufan0 Rapids.
The visitor to Baltimore today
scarcely realizes that less than year
ago the city was almost destroyed by
memorable fire. A similar compar-
ison. might be made by George W..
Nally, one of the leading citizens OF
Baltimore, as to the change in his
own looks.
A short time ago, Mr.. Nally, writ
ing from his home address. 22l3 Bar
clay street, says II have been troubled
for years with catarrh and had reSorted
to all remedies that could be thought
of. My wife was also afflicted with
this terrible disease, but all the
treatments we used were an absolute
failure until we tried Hyomei. It
worked like charm and has made q
complete cure in both of our cases.
There is no disagreeable stomach
dosing in using Hyomei. We breathed
1t, and its fragrance, SO clean, pure
and bracing, killed all the catarrhal
germs in the head. throat, and lungs.
The experience of Mr.. Nally and his
wife certainly points a moral to all
readers of the WOOD COUNTY Re-
PORTER who are suffering from
catarrh. 1t shows how they can be
cured of this frightful disease, without
dangerous stomach dusing. John e.
DAILY. the local agent for Hyomei, has
so much faith in the treatment that
he gives his personal guarantee to
refund the money in case it does not
benefit. A complete outfit costs one
dollar, the extra bottles are but fifty
cents. Ask to see the strong guaraD-
tee under which Hyomei is sold.

district, Hon. Webster E. Brown, OF
Rhinelander, iscaodidate for re-elec-
tion, and the record that he has made
at Washington is in itself sufficient
reason for his being returned by even
a larger majority than be received be-
fore. No people anywhere should be
more aware of this fact than residents
of Lincoln county, though there is no
doubt that it is equally true of all
counties throughout his district.
Do you ask why residents of Lincoln
county should, to a man, regardless
of party utilization, support Webster
E. Brown? We can answer in few
words. The betterment of the mail
delivery system in this city and
county. We remember Congressman
Nc Cord for our Sunday train, and his
championship of northern Wisconsin,
and we heartily thank and support
Webster E. Brown for reelection for
the bIishment of rural mail
delivery and bis efforts to build up
this state. Hon. w. E. Brown is a
plain unasSuming business man, ap-
proachable and at all times ready tu
work for his constituents.
Ponder for moment. For rural
free delivery routes, what does this
mean, what does this signify? First,
that Mr. Brown is man of affairs, a
man who is looked up to and listened
to at Washington, and above all, d
man who is ever mindful of the wants
and requirements of his constituents
whoever and wherever they may be.
Second What do these five routes
mean to residents of Lincoln county:
just this. That there are few if any
farmers in the county to-day who dc
not receive their mail daily by rural
free delivery carrier. Where they are
not settled thickly enough for this
several star routes are in operation
where the service is practically the
same as on r. T. d. routes. Do the
farmers and their families appreciate
| this? Do our business men appreci
ate it? Most assuredly, and all know
Webster e. Brown is the man who
has accomplished all this, ana who is
still working to improve What we
think is about perfect. In view OF
this it is not strange that it il
conceded on every hand that he will
be reelected by larger majority thar
a Congressman ever received in this
district.
If ignorant OF this, you might Ques
tion our motive for supporting Mr..
Brown, can you do So consistently
now considering also that THE NEWS
is, and has been for months, the
agowed champion of the people; in
fact the only paper in the county that
dares to champion their cause and
support candidates strictly on theil
merit and irrespective of party
utilization, creed or nationality.
Webster E. Brown is the people.
candidate. If you are proud of wha,
has been done for the people of Lin
coin county by our congressman
prove it by supporting Mr.. Brown
to the last ditch, work for him, tall
for him and above all vote for him
We shall have more to say in future
issues regarding Mr.. Browns business
and social career and the absolute
necessity Of returning him t,
Washington.-Ex.

HOT WATER FOR BAKER.
City May BE Heated From Hot Wells
to BE Bored There.

A new enterprise is proposed for
Baker City that may mean much TO
the business community as well as
the ordinary property owner and
householder. If the scheme carries
it will revolutionize the fuel question
in this city. Fuel here is now quite
high in price, wood averaging IS and
coal 81 to $3.50 per ton, says the Ba-
ker City Democrat.
A local firm is in negotiotion with
Eastern capitalists to construct n
plant for Baker City for the purpose
of distributing natural hot water
throughout the city. which can be
utilized in the public buildings and
residences for heating purposes. II
has long been known springs of hot
water are contiguous to this city. Sew
eral of these springs are now being
utilized by the natatorium in the
eastern suburbs of the city.
This company has just let con-
tract for the sinking of another 1900
foot we'll with the expectations OF
striking a vein OF water much hotter
than anything that has heretofore
been used, 1t is supposed that the
vein tapped at Hot Lake flows
through this section and by deeper
sinking can be cut here. II this 4.
the case cheap heating for the peopl,
will soon be a reality.
