certainly in the ascendancy at this
particular time He is a genial
gentleman and a good mixer and
the people take to that sort of a
man naturally" He has recently
issued a platform which is brief
and to the point, yet it covers the
entire situation and the voter is
not left in doubt as to what he
means. His platform is worthy
.of the endorsement OF every Re
publican"
The Tigerton Chronicle, Sha-
wano County, is in line with the
other papers in Shawano county
in its endorsement of Mr.. Madden.
In its last issue that paper says:
although James H. Madden,
candidate for Congress from the
Tenth district, stated his political
principles at the time of his first
announcement, he has seen fit to
make a formal declaration of the
platform upon which he takes his
stand in this campaign. The plat
form is what one might expect
from man of Mr.. Madden's char
acter. 1t is an open straight-for-
ward declaration of a man who
thaS at heart the best interests O
W people of the whole country as
seell as of the district which he
hicks to represent. He takes as
his ideal the Republicansim OF
Theodore Roosevelt. Everybody
knows what that means; it means
an impartial, fearless government
in the interest of all classes. A
fight against the aggressions OF
the trusts and great corporations
that are abusing the privileges
granted them in their characters
by the people. He does not pander
to the rich nor does he allow
prejudice to blind him to the fact
that they have rights which a
just government is bound to re-
spect. These are the principles of
Theodore Roosevelt and these are
the principles which Mr.. Madden
promises, if elected, to assist the
president in carrying out. Read
his platform which will be found
on the first page that you may
know just where he stands"
The Wausau Record, the only
Republican daily in the district
outside of Ashland, says: owe
call attention to the published
platform of James H. Madden OF
Ashland, which appears in this
issue of the Daily Record. What
ever may be the concensus OF
opinion as to the merit or dement,
of political platforms, it must be
conceded without argument that
Mr.. Madden's is a model one in
every particular. It's straight
torwardness, general commenda-
ton, and its directness merit ap-
proval on the part of those who
recognize that the questions which
he has raised are the questions OF
the day. If the fortunes OF politics
should send Mr.. Madden to Wash
ington to represent the Tenth
Congressional district, and his
official career should be as open an
one, as frank and as honest as the
platform on which he stands and
to which he directs his attention,
it will be admitted that he would
be an able representative, and
would bring no discredit upon
himself or upon his constituency.

Senator Patterson. Deprecate it as much
as we may. Mr. President, the man who
enters the Government service as a rule,
enters II as a live service The aIlurements
oil the opportunities thai are offered to the
average man, the man With tie average in
dustry and enterprise, are not sufficient TO
withdraw him from a certainty OF liveli-
hood that the Government offers So | say
that when either a man or woman has been
in the employment of the Government
service five or six years, he or she has prac-
tically mortg .ged his or her life to the
Government; and the clerks who receive
this very, very moderate COMPENSATION,
living here at the capital with hardly
enough to pay rent for a couple of rooms,
and especially If they happen to have
families, are required to exc out a very scant
subsistence There is no future for them
after they have been in the employment of
the Government for few years thew must
continue there. and the lc niger thew stay the
more their capacity to make living else
where is lessened. So they continue until
under the rule or the law. they must be re-
tired, and then they become either a charge
upon their friends, if they have friends, or,
il they do not happen to have friends so far
as their ability TO maintain themselves is
concerned. they have simply got to crawl on
to some garnet and die.
That is gospel truth. Ny friends
please take notice of the future

shows this feature is creeping it is advanc

under as a legislative body. We have
favored class of officials in this country.
There is no office created that there is not an
importunate demand to fill it. For every
office created, it is safe to say that there are
dozens and scores OF applicants desiring to
get into the Government service. They de-
sire to get into the Government service be-
cause they are better OFF than they are out
side They have regular employment; they
have short hours; they are desirable places,
and the moment they get in they become an
organized and importunate and hungry
band of mendicants, begging US for more
favorS.
We are beset by them constantly;
there is no session of Congress that we are
not importuned and our doors beaten upon
by the employees here in Washington and
elsewhere, demanding more pay, more
privileges.
