Pollard Quits Field,

Under date of Madison, July IA, the
following appeared as a special dis
patch in the Evening Wisconsin of
that day:
The political atmosphere in the
Third congressional district was some
what clarified today when Levi Will
bur Pollard, Dodgeville, made the
announcement that he would retire as
candidate for Congress in favor of
Alley Peterson of Soldiers Grove.
He says that he feels it would leopard
ize the interests of the Republican
party in that district, and says Mr..
Peterson has always stood for the
best interests of all people in the dis
trict." The withdrawal was the re-
suit of a conference held in Madison
and attended by some of the leading
politicians of the Third district.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1908-07-16

few facts of history to show how
political party is judged by the
character of the man whom it puts
forward for the federal senate.
The newspaper correspondents say
that the Wisconsin delegation at Den
yer have been discussing the senator
ial matter, and among the men men
toned as suitable for the nomination
for senator is Evan A. Evans of Bar
aboo, who is put forward as one
whose candidacy would greatly
strengthen the party in the third con-
gressional district. Mr.. Evans is an
able and worthy man whose candida
cy for any office would honor and
strengthen the party. 1t would be a
pleasant duty to support him as the
party standard bearer. The Demo
crat entertains the thought, however,
that he will scarcely command that
support outside of the district necessa
ry to secure the nomination. And we
would not be true to ourselves, nor to
the party, If we did not confess that
when thinking of Democrat especial
ly we'll qualified to represent Wiscon-
sin in the United States Senate we in
voluntarily look over towards Wau-
sau, the home of Neal Brown, lawyer,
philosopher, and statesman.
Be careful, Democrats, and make
no mistake.

A World Steel Trust.

A news dispatch from London states,
on the authority of the Iron and Steel
Trades Journal, that the formation Of
an international steel trust" in which
American, German, Russian and Brit
ish steel interests will unite will be
an accomplished fact in a few weeks.
The headquarters of the trust will be
in London and its capitalization will
be gigantic
Whether this greatest world trust
will be assured in a few weeks or not,
the way for its formation has been
paved by the tariff policy. which shut
out foreign competition and led to the
formation of our great trust. If the
tariffs did not create national trusts,
the day of international mergers would
be much less imminent

DEMOCRACY REUNITED.

There is cause for rejoicing over
the outcome of the Democratic natl
onal convention. A good presiden-
tfal ticket has been nominated, and a
platform sound in every plank has
been adopted.
Bryan appealed to the rank and
file Of the Democratic party for sup
port, and his appeal was not in vain.
The unanimity with which he was
chosen standard bearer of the Demo
cratic hosts testifes in the strongest
possible manner to the fact that as a
man and politician he wears we'll.
He has been in the lime-light for the
last twelve years. In 1896 he led the
Democratic party to defeat because
the country believed and still believes
that he and his followers were radi-
cally wrong on the money question.
Cold Democrats who placed country
before party and opposed his election
in 1896, believe that he is right on the
great issues which divide the parties
today, aud will give him united sup
port.
Twelve years ago Mr.. Bryan was
not widely known outside of his own
state and of congress. Since that
time,-a8 we'll stated by former Gov
ernOr Francis of Missouri, by
his own sheer force and ability he
has kept himself in the front as the
champion of the people, who believe
In him, and have confidence in him.
This confidence has been inspired be-
cause of Mr.. Bryan's moral courage,
positive convictions, his great ability,
and his earnest advocacy of needed
reforms in government.
That Mr.. Bryan's running mate,
Hon. John w. Kern of Indiana, is
held in high regard by the people of
his home state, is shown by the fact
that he was twice chosen as Demo
cratic candidate for governor. The
names of many able and worthy
Democrats were before the Denver
convention as candidates for the
nomination for vice president. The
withdrawal of these names and the
nomination of Mr.. Kern by acclama-
ton, shows that he comes well recon-
mended.
The contest between the radical and
conservative elements in the cOnven-
ton over various planks of the plat
form, although long and animated,
was not bitter, and the result was the
ADOPTION of q platform which can be
said to be truly Democratic. Trusts,
the tariff, campaign publicity, guar
anteeing of bank deposits, railroad
regulation, direct vote for U. S.
Senators, are questions which are
dealt with without reserve or equivO-
cation.
The Denver convention presents a
striking contrast to the Republican
national convention held in Chicago
in June. Progressiveness marks the
one, and stand-patism the other.
The republican refOrmers from Wis
consin were turned down at Chicago
because too progressive, and their
platform recommendations were over
whelmingly rejected. In the Denver
convention Wisconsin Democracy
was at premium, because progress
sive and not reactionary.
AS division in the Democratic ranks
has repeatedly brought defeat to the
party in the past, so we believe will
united Democracy bring triumph in
the present campaign. That the Den
yer convention presented candidates
and a platform worthy of victory
should cause Democrats to be thank
full, and to put forth strenuous efforts
to secure victory.

KILLS MANUFACTURES.
How the Tariff Defeats Its Own AL
legged Purpose.

One Of the greatest htndrances to the
exporting of American manufactures
is the high prices which manufacturers
must pay to a trust for raw materials
on account of the tariff. Thus the
leather trust keeps shoe manufacturers
from proftably exporting shoes, the
steel trust renders 1t difficult for max
ers of hardware to compete abroad,
and the tariff taxes on lumber, wool,
lead, coal and other raw materials
help to prevent expectation of hun
dreds Of manufactured products. Pro
lection thus defeats its own professed
end, the development of manufactures
and the expectation of goods. But
protection does not exist for all manu-
facturers alike but rather for the
trusts, for the strong, who need Ii
only for purposes of eXtortion.

The most precious possessions Of a
nation are self reliance, intellectual in
tegrity, sensitiveness to right and
wrong. With these qualities its future
is sure Without them its downfall is
sure. Any system which undemines
these qualities should go.
Protection Is such a system, and 1
believe it is the solemn duty of every
citizen who appreciates this fact to do
his utmost to make others appreciate

But the protective system has brought
on us still more serious evil-that is,
the dulling of our perceptions of right
and wrong. To support and extend
the protective system 1t has been nee
essary for manufacturers and legis-
lators to bully, to wheedle, to spend
enormous sums of money in devious
ways, to compromise and to barter.
Men cannot go on indefinitely doing
this sort of thing without bunting
their moral senses. Many of our busi-
ness men have engaged in these prac-
tees until they do not know the wrong
thing when they see 1t.

The intellectual juggling which 1t
has required to make the protection
lists argument plausible is in itself an
immortality, and a farreaching one The
mind takes curious revenges; it is not
to be trif1ed with. Refuse it all the
facts, force it to support an absurdity
or falsehooG, and it soon closes itself
In disgust to the real truth Of things.
It refuses to warn, to distinguish, to
understand. We speak Of the closed
mind. 1t is only the mind which has
been forbidden to walk freely abroad
and to report fearlessly what 1t saw
that ever closes.

HOSTILE TO CHARACTER.
Protection Undermines Self Reliance
Integrity and Moral Perception.


The American manufacturer SCOTS
at nature and all her ways because he
is familiar with them, but he fears a
foreign workman 5000 miles away
That we who have at our doors I'm.
bounded natural resources, who can
draw from the strongest, the most en-
ergetic, the most ingenious and pro-
ductiVe laborers that there are in the
world, who can sell our wares in a
market made up Of the freest buyers
in the world-that we should be afraid
to compete openly in the markets of
the world is one of the anomalies Of
the times. And what are we afraid
Of? Why, Of the poor, overcrowded,
underfed, military ridden workmen Of
Europe. Fantastic as it seems, the
dreams Of the American manufacturer
have for years now been haunted by
the specter of the starving foreign
workmen stealing from under his nose
his foundries and mills and mines.

GILBERT AND
 SMITHSON HERE, Other Advertised Olympic Stars Fail to Appear at Galaxy Planned for A. o. H.
 Field Day. MILE RACES VERY CLOSE Not Shot in Sight for Putting, But Hammer Is Smashed and the
 Head Makes Improvised
 Instrument.
MILE RACES VERY CLOSE

A. c. Gilbert, the world champion pole vaulter, and Forrest c. Smithson. the world champion hurdler, were the two athletes of national reputation who took part in the field day of the A. o. H. at Savin Rock yesterday. Neither Gilbert nor Smithson was in his best form. but both easily took their events. In the pole vault Gill; be remembered as the first world rec ord which he held, and which he later ran up to 12 feet 3-4 inches. smlthson in the hurdles easily won in 16 seconds, and took the broad jump with 20 feet 1 inch.
 A crowd of considerably over 5000 watched the sport for the five hours in which the games were run off. They were rather late in starting, the hour being fixed at 2.S0 and the first event opening at 3;30 But the sight of Mike Thompson, the referee, run ming out In the hot sun, ever beaming and cheerful, kept the audience, for the time, In good humor.
 At 3:30 the first heat in the 100- yard dash was run off J. c. Garrells, of the Chicago A. C., who was adver- tised as sure entry, for some reason failed to show up. Several of the ath- letes questioned the decisions of the judges in the events, and a promi- nent Yale graduate said that he would hate to be one of the competitors un- der the management there. D. Fl. von Filing, Mohawk A. C., won in the finals, his time being 10 1-5 sec- onds The time was good, consider ing the very poor condition of the improvised track.
 Probably because he is still in Eng land, Melvin w Sheppard, who had been advertised as an absolutely sure competitor. failed to show up for the sS0-yard handicap, which was run off next. H. Gissing, Mohawk A. G., |, took the race in 2:13 2-5, finishing just ahead of W. c. Nichols, Xavier man.
 Sheppard, who was also advertised as a sure runner in the 40. was still in England when that event was pull ed off, and so did not appear. Gis- sing. of the Mohawks, ran another good race, covering the course in 56 seconds, winning with good lead on J. R. Barrett of Windsor Locks. l.. S. Kirjassof, of Yale, was out of form. but came in close third.
 The boat had just sailed when the mile race was run off, but it had not [ sailed in time to land Sheppard the advertised headliner. to America, so Cornell man, w. Nobis, took the event The mile race was the best of the day. James Clark, of the Xavier club, led up to the last lap. Nobis had passed him. and over the stretch the race was close, Nobls winning by foot.
 Then came the hurdles, run in two heats with finals Smithson took the lead as he did at Yale field last fall and there were several hurdles between him and his nearest competitor at the , end of the first heat. J. J. McLough- , lin of the Pastime club, won the sec- ond heat, finishing alone. In the final heat, Smithson went in IS flat, Me- Loughlin following him and J. H. Eng fish of tho Xavier club coming in third. The mile novice handicap was an.
