Election Notes.

Roosevelt will have the largest popu-
lar and electoral vote ever cast for any
presidential candidate. 1t is thought
his plurality will pass the 100000 mark
and he has carried every state in the
union with the exception of the follow
ing which will give him an electoral
vote of S5S with 1873 for Parker Ala
bama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas and Virginia.
The republicans viii have an over
whelming majority in both houses OF
congress, the majority being SO large
that the leaders are already expressing
fears that they may get rash and make
some bad breaks"
Wisconsin returns the same delega-
ton to the house of representatives as
two years ago, but Babcock in the Third
district got scare that made the ehiiis

will have two new senators in the
senate. Ii is said Spooner is slated for
the cabinet while Quarles is doomed 10

COUNTY BOARD.

The county board convened this
afternoon at two o'clock. Chairman
Chas. Rienow expected TO be present
but upon advice of his physician con-
cluded not to venture the trip and Chas.
Gilbert was chosen chairman pro tenn,
Supervisor Beebee introduced reso-
luton giving the board of asylum trus-
tees the right to hire a superintendent
of the poor farm at a salary not to eX
coed that now being paid. The super
intendent shall be under the boards
direction at all times and that body
is given the right to discharge him at
any time it sees fit. The ayes and nays
were called for and the resolution
carried by a vote of 80 to 81, being
absent.
After the above and few prelimin-
airy matters had been disposed of an
adjournment was taken to Wednesday
morning at 900 O'Clock to give com
mittees time to make their reports.
At this session an election will also be
made for janitor of the court house.
For this position there are two can
didates, Fred Rienow, the present in
cumbent, and Henry Belize, deputy
sheriff. John Junk, we understand, is
not over DESTROYS of again assuming the
responsibility of the superintendency
of the poor farm and it is said will not
accept unless it is forced on him by the
asylum trustees. 1t is said that Bern
hard Laabs is a candidate for the posi-
ton.
One of the matters we learn that is to
be brought up at this meeting of the
county board will be the county hospi
tai proposition. The PMoT's represen-
tative has interviewed a number of the
county board members as to their views
on this proposition and finds but
practically one opinioD-which we will
not give in this issue in fairness to
those who appear in the minority.

the Democratic candidate from can
didate appealing to the business in
terests'' to candidate attacking the
trusts anu tariff beneficiaries was not
convincing, although it injected some
spirit into the campaign 1t was too
much in the nature of deathbed re-
pentence to prove effective.
There is one feature connected with
the crushing defeat of the Democratic
party under the leadership of the Ere
organizers that is not without en-
enlargement to real Democrats. 1t
has thoroughly disposed of the conten-
ton that the defeats of the Democratic
party have been due to Organism"
and that should the Clevelands and
Hills and Vilases be permitted to as
sumo command the party would be
able to repeat its victories of 1884 and
1892. 1t has emphasized the fact,
which the election returns OF 1894
should have established, that it was
Clevelandism and not Organism that
overwhelmed the Democratic party.
The party has tried Conservatism
and sanity and safety" and it has
come near to wreck. Nothing remains
for it excepting to become truly Dem
ocratic, and to stand for policies and
principles that are essentially Demo
cratic, to sever all connections with
predatory interests, and to build char
acter and regain the confidence of the
masses under the leadership of such
men as William j. Bryan or else give
way to new party that will be DEM
ocratic. in spirit and purpose if not
Democratic in name.-Milwaukee

asked the council to deed him strip of

at least ten men for eight months dur

assembly there is considerable change

O1e thing was demonstrated by the
vote last Tuesday-the people are

In five states of the union democratic
governors were elected, while the bal

publicans and Roosevelt was given a
large plurality. This was particularly
noticeable in Massachusetts, Minnesota,

A Crushing Defeat.

The Democratic party has met with
crushing defeat in the nation, With
the exception of Kentucky, border
state, it has not carried single North
ern state. 1t has not only met with
defeat, but it has met with overwhelm-
ing defeat. Even in New York, the
home of the Democratic candidate for
president, the Republican majority is
overwhelming.
1t was a foregone conclusion when
the Democratic convention at St Louis
nominated Alton b. Parker that the
Democratic party could not elect him.
1t was promised, however, that with
a "safe and sane" candidate the party
could carry New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut aud that with those states
in the Democratic column, the party
would have more than fighting
chance to win. With the assistance of
the Southern Democrats, who sacri-
feed whatever principle they had in
their desire to "beat Roosevelt" the
''reorganizers" gained control of the or
ganization and had it not been for Viii
liam j. Bryan's logged fight for a
Democratic platform, they would utter
ly have wrecked the party. Judge
Parker was mystery" candidate for
the presidential nomination. No one
knew his attitude upon public questions.
The New York Democratic state plat
form was ar evasive, colorless declara-
ton, throwing no light on Judge Park
er's attitude, excepting to confirm the
opinion that the program of his mana
gers was to "gumshoe' into office.
As the campaign progressed Judge
Parker made his speech of acceptance.
1t was an uninspiring utterance. 1t
might we'll have been delivered by 3
Republican candidate. The effect was
to produce widespread apathy in the
ranks of the Democratic voters. Sew
eral weeks later the candidate issued
bis letter of acceptance, which was
more aggressive and gave some en-
engagement to those Democrats that

personality, his impulsiveness and bis
unsafe" characteristics and contrast
them with the quiet, judicial, conserva
tive, cautious temperament of the
Democratic candidate. In the closing
days of the campaign it apparently
had become evident to Judge Parker
that "safe and sane Democratic
candidate for the presidency was no
what the Democratic voters wanted
and he changed bis tactics by raising

The democrats of Marathon county
had an excellent organization this CAM
paign, and Messrs Manson and Lamont
made things move. That they did ex-
traordinary good work is testified to by
the fact that Roosevelt had majority
of nearly 5000, while the democratic
ticket was beaten only by majorities
ranging from 200 to 1000. The county
committee was very ably assisted by
the democratic club which was organ

close of the campaign. The landslide

Looking Forward.

Citizens who see in last Tuesday S
election nothing but republican success
do not see its most important symp-
toms. 1t meant far more than the cleo
ton of Theodore Roosevelt.
If the votes meant anything they
meant that the people are dissatisfied
with republican policies as they have
been shown in the past, by everything
that party has done outside of what its
president has done.
That is what was meant by the cleo
ton of democratic governors in Massa-
chusets, Minnesota. Colorado and Mis-
souri,, all of them states which gave
Roosevelt large pluralities.
1t was the votes of democrats, and of
republicans who loved democratic
principle, thatelected these governors.
That was what elected LaFollette in
Wisconsin.
Why, nevertheless did these same
states give large majorities to Roose-
welt ? 1t was because the men who
were backing the democratic candidate,
Judge Parker, and who brought about
his nomination, were men in whom
democrats had no confidence whatever,
men whom the rank and file of the
democracy believed to be absolute enc
mics to democratic principles.
On the one hand there was Theodore
Roosevelt, a man who had said some
thing and done something, as
much as he might have done,-
something toward helping the people in
their fight against the trusts.
On the other hand there was Alton b.
Parker, whose views upon the trust
question no one knew until he began to
talk about it week or so before cleo
ton day, and who was deeply mistrust-
ed on account of the character of the
men who were urging his election.
1t is a most hopeful sign for true
democracy that it did not take the
American people long to choose be-
tween these two.
1t was the strain of true democracy in
Roosevelts blood that elected him.
1t was the democracy of LaFollette,
of Folk, of Johnson, of Douglas that
elected them,
Hundreds of thousands of democrats
stayed away from the polls rs shown by
the light vote cast. Hundreds Of thous-
ands of them voted the social demo-
cratic ticket, as the astonishing increase
of that vote clearly shows. Hundreds
OF thousands of them voted for Roose-
welt as shown by the election of demo-
cratic governors in states that gave
Roosevelt large maiorities.
And we believe there were other
hundreds of thousands who, like the
writer, voted the straight democratic
ticket without heart or enthusiasm.
Goodbye Cleveland, Hill, Belmont
and "re-organizers." You see now that
you don't belong to us. 10 where you
will be welcome.
Roosevelt is going to make an effort
to curb the trusts A republican con-
gress will not permit him to do much.
But for what he may try to do, God
bless and speed him will be the prayer
of every true democrat. True demo-
Gratis love country better than party.
The only hope of this country is in
the principles of true democracy. The
republican party would have TO adopt
those principles in order to do what the
people want done That the republican
party will find itself unable to do, for
that party is under obligation to the
trusts that it cannot shirk, and the
great majority of its leaders have no
desire to shirk them.
