This is cur last opportunity Of ad-
visiug you on the Importance of the
election OF d congressman and to warn
you against being mislead in the most
important duty you have to perform on
election day.
Johnnie Nelson says: "You must
elect NE to uphold Roosevelt, E" and
that is the only reason or excuse he
has to offer why should he be elected
that is the only reason he has ever
given in the few speeches that he has
attempted to make in this campaign.
Let US be fair and honest with each
other and see, 1, if it is necessary to
elect him to uphold Roosevelt and, 2,
ii it is necessary to elect him at all
l. Is it necessary to elect Johnnie
Nelson to uphold Roosevelt? We say
no. Why? Because on all matters
of important legislation affecting the
people rights, which have come before
congress during Roosevelt's adminstra-
tion, the democrats have stood by him
and the republicans have tried every
possible means to defeat him and
would have succeeded if it had not
! been for the democrats. And Hon.
George w. Lewis has pledged his sup
port to the President in the following
language, tU-Wit:
"Do not be mIslead by the cry
"Stand by Roosevelt. - Every pro
gressive measure Mr.. Roosevelt has
championed has received the unGuali-
| fed support CT the democratic mem
bers of both houses of congress. The
suppression OF trusts and combinations
the granting of additional powers to
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
have been democratic demands fol-
years. What little progress the
president has made along these lines
has met with democratic support. In
the greater advances which the times
demand, he can count on the same
support. We will stand by Roosevelt
as long as he stands by the people and
not for the trusts
What more do you want?
At Watertown, w. j. Bryan spoke
of the candidacy Of George w. Lewis,
as follows
81 am here not only to assist if
can in the carry ing Of the State Ticket
but | shall be more than pleased if
[ can say anything that will lead
you to send as your congressman for
this district, Mr.. Lewis, whom | have
learned to know very we'll"
At Madison w. J. Bryan said of
him -
THE best way is to elect Demo
Gratis to congress. They will stand
better by the president on the reform
measure than will republicans. | can
assure you that George w. Lewis
your candidate for congress-, would
stand faithfully by thepresident on all
measures for the good Of the people,
better than any republican you can
eject. "

Oct. 18th, 1906, the Free Press says

of Representative are said to hope to
see a smaller majority in the next,
than there is in the present congress,
where it is so large as to be unwieldly.
1t is even said that the political
leaders on the republican side are look
ing forward to reduction of their
majority with positive delight.
The old reason that lone memb er
LOST may give the democrats control
does not apply to the present contest.
There are republicans to burn, and as
they cannot be burned-losing a few
of them will bring longed- for-re-
lief"
2. Is it advisable to elect Johnnie
Nelson at all? We say no Why?
Because speaker Cannon and the other
leading republicans at Washington
have issued the republican congressional
text book on the "stand-pat' theory.
They are going to the polls on that
record. What do they mean by
stand par?' That means that the
tariff shall remain as it is. That
means that the trusts shall continue
to be protected by the high protective
tariff SO that they can continue to be
grow still stronger and greater and
fatter at the expensive of the people.
If you elect republican to congress
they will say, we'll. we told the people
where we stood and they again elected
republican house, therefore they
must want the protective tariff to re-
main as it is. The democrats, through
their leaders and through their con-
gressional text book, stand for fair
and just revision of the tariff in behalf
of the general welfare. Now, Mr..
Voter you cannot complain. You have
a fair choice. The Issue is clear and
you must understand it. You can
better yourself or the trusts just as
yon like. Oh, but Johnnie Nelson
says" | am for a revision. But Mr..
Voter, imagine Johnnie Nelson running
around among Cannon and the other
"Big Guns saying that he was
elected on his record for revision,
and what effect do you think 1t would
have. Why they would tell him to
read the republican campaign text
book and find out where he was at and
learn what the. republicans had promls-
ed to the people. And any bill he
might introduce for revision IN a
republican house would be "plgeon-
holed' by the republican committee
and never heard from again. No, Mr..
Voter, there is only one way in which
the tariff can or Will be revised by
the next congress and that is by elect
ing q democratic house.
The republicans say, "Stand-Pat.
The democrats say, "Revlsion.
You are going to get just what you
vote for.
Therefore again, be honest with
yourself ard vote for George w. Lewis
for congress, and do not stop there, for
if you believe the above reasoning is
sound, then tell your neighbors about
it. The trusts are working together.
VOTE AND WORK FOR GEORGE
w. LEWIS.

MATHEMATICS BY MAIL.

be enrolled.
The Importance of the study of
Mathematics can hardly be estimated
We would not go as tar as the enthUsi-
asst who, 2 few years ago, undertook
to prove that mathematic was the
basis not only of all the arts and
sciences, but of morals as we'll, but
we will assert that it is an essential
to successful pursuit of most of the
higher trades and professions of today
The profession of Accountant Ac-
tuary, Statistician, are every day be-
coming more and more important, but
men who lack knowledge of the high
er mathematics are finding themelves
pushed out of the field by more highly
trained competitors.
No profession offers today so broad
and rich field to capable men DIS that
of Engineering, but to success in en-
gineering in any of its branches. civil,
mechanical, electrical, a knowledge
of higher mathematics is all absolute
prerequisite.
The ambitious mechanic, too, socn
finds himself at disadvantage with
out knowl ledge of higher mathema-
tics, because many of the processes Of
manufacturers require broad scientl-
fic knowledge, of which mathematics
is the basis. In short, higher mathe-
MATES, which was once looked upon
as the peculiar study of a leisure class,
has now become a necessity to the
laborer.
1t has been demonstrated that nc
study, except perhaps Mechanical
Drawing, can be better taught by cor
resp ondence than Mathematics. New
methods of teaching have been deve-
Hoped which have made correspondent c
teaching not only possibility, but a
practical success. No man, therefore.
need fail of success in his occupation
for want of the training of which &C.
cident or misfortune may have depriv-
ed him in his early years. The uni
versity has brought instruction to his
very door, mad he has only to avail
himself of the opportunity so gener
ouslv placed within his reach.

King Alfonso's Lineage.

From the indianapolis Star.
Alfonso XIII. untes in his veins the
blood of the houses Of Bourbon and Haps-
burg. He goes straight back to Hugh
Capet "a. d. 9sO of France, founder of
all that line of kings whose veal and
woe eliminated i'm the French Revolution,
and he can claim lineage with the long
line of the Louis OF France, ST. Louis,
Louis XII, Louis XIV and all the Philips
and Ferdinands of Spain, including our
own patron, Isabella. In his paternal line
are great men. wise rulers and good men,
and also monsters Of tyranny. debauchery
and every human frailty. Such names as
Philip H.. Alya. Torquemada, Crazy Jane,
Isabella the Catholic, St Louis, all sug-
gest possibilities of inherited tendencies
that may have come to this amable
youth from his paternal line
Alfonso bears i'm his face to striking
degree the physiognomical marks of his
lineage The high nose of the Bourbons.
the pendulous lip of the Hapsburgs and
the emaeiated figure of the Spanish line
are his. He has given no evidence OF
that foolish pride which cost the life OF
one of his ancestors because the grandee
whose business it was to attend to tho
fire did not happen to be present when
the fumes of the stove threatened the
monarch's life. on the contrary, Alfonso

tween them to Perley Burritt's drug
store at Chicago avenue and Main
street
Burritt broke off the head of the bot
tie with smash against scale and
poured out a tumbler of whisky.
Stark gulped down the liquor. Two
minutes later, when he was offered
more, he demurred. but his companions
forced him to drink it,
In fifteen miutes Stark was drunk
and almost frantic. Then his compan-
ions hurried him out of the store and
began to walk him up and down the
alley in the rear of the grocery store.
They had hard time to keep him on
his feet and to prevent him from break
ing away from them.
He was soon seized with delirium
and began raving about the tarantula.
For hours the trio walked up and
down the alley, watched by an inter
ested horror-stricken and sympathetic
throng.
Occasionally Stark was taken back
to the drug store and given more
whisky.
Throughout the night friends watched
at his side and forced him to walk,
ngnting off sleep that meant death.
He is now out of danger.
