The progress which the temperance
movement is making in the Middle
Western States justifes the warning
sounded by the legislative agent of the
antI-saloon league. He declares that If
this Republican Congress declines to
do anything toward perfecting the po-
lice control of States over liquors i'm
ported into their borders in interstate
commerce, the Democrats will take up
the question nationally, and viii gain
a vast number Of votes by il. The feel
ing is strong and growing stronger, that
the Congressional committees which
can find no way of passing such legis-
lation simply don't want 10 find it.

A QUESTION OF WEIGHT.

A group of men on the street the
other day were in a light vein discuss
ing the weight of the respective candi-
dates for the Republican nomination
for a member of congress from this
district. Whereas, sArthur J. Kopp
and d. O. Mahoney are good sized
men, Alley Peterson is of such gigan-
tic proportions that he almost out
weighs them both. But it matters not
how much they weigh, individually or
in the aggregate, on platform scales:
the question of paramount Importance
is, how much either of them would
weigh down at Washington, in the
balance against Joseph G. Cannon,
the autocratic speaker of the House of
Representatives. This proposition
was put up by passerby to one of the
three candidates named, who was a
member of the group aforesaid and it
took him rather unaware. His reply
was, substantially, that someday there
would be men enough in congress to
unhorse Joe Cannon. "Someday, -
Freemen, just think of it! Every voter
of the third congressional district
of Wisconsin, when he goes to the
polls in November, should remember
that this is the time and this is the
place to settle the question of govern
ment by Mr.. Cannon for the interests
enjoying special favors, or govern
meut by majority of the peoples re-
representatives. for all citizens alike.
While the almost conclusive pre-
sumption is that a vote for the Repub-
lican candidate, whoever he may be,
will be a vote to perpetuate the power
of the stand-patters, or reactionaries,
in congress, everybody knows that a
vote for ]. w. Murphy, the Democrat
ic candidate, will be a vote to bring
that power suddenly to an end.
The people of the district regardless
of party are fairly aud ably represent
ed by Mr.. Murphy, and they ought to
reelelect him.

JOHN A. A VI w ARD FOR
GOV T. X NOR.

The Demo crats of Wisconsin
should see to it that they place in
nomination for governor a man of
worth and recognized ability. That
John A. Aylward of Madison is such
man is known to all familiar with
his record as a citizen and an official
He is a lawyer, and ripe and good
one. AS city attorney of Madison he
has been most successful in conduct
ing cases. He is well qualified for
any position within the gift of the
people of the state, being a graduate
of the university of Wisconsin, a
man of strong personality and hon
esty of purpose.
In politics, Mr.. Aylward has al
ways been a Democrat; but to his
credit be it said that he has not fol-
lowed the leadership of men who have
sought to attain their own selfish pur-
poses at the expense of the Democratic
party. Mr.. Awkward stands for no
special interest; but as, in the past,
he Is willing to give his money and
his services to advance the interests
of Democracy. Two years ago,
complying with the solicitation of his
friends, he stood as the Democratic
candidate for governor. He made a
gallant fight; but the odds against
the party were great, and he lost.
Now that there is we'll grounded hope
OF the Democrats carrying the state,
justice to him demands that he be
given the nomination for governor.

DEMOCRATS ACT WISELY.

The strong tendency of Democrats
to blunder has long been proverbial,
but the present year furnishes many
evidences that wisdom prevails and
will continue to prevail in the coun-
ellis of Democracy. Of the Democratic
state convention held in Milwarkes
last week:
THE Democratic state platform con-
vention has adjourned without max
ing any mistake and without getting
into any open wrangle that would
hurt the party at the polls. 1t was
evident that the political manipula-
tors had their plans laid to force the
convention to nominate candidates

Democratic State Convention.


Henry G.. Campbell in Milwaukee
Journal: For one thing the conven-
tion deserves a great deal of credit.
It's action in leaving the nomination
of candidates for state offices and for
United States senator to the party
primaries in September was not only
good politics, but it was good citizen
ship. The law prescribes how these
nominations shall be made and it is
dangerous even for great political
party to violate the law. Not only
that, but as the call for the conven-
ton had not indicated any action
regarding the choice of a state ticket,
the party would have suffered in
prestige if the slate-makers had had
their way. State Chairman Manson's
firm stand against iugglery of this
kind did much to save the delegates
from committing a serious blunder.
The platform adopted is a Bryan
document throughout and it contains
words which are intended to please
La Toilette Republicans. The plat
form was unanimously adopted by
the convention.
Mayor Roses resolutions seeking
to make the liquor questions an issue
in the campaign met with strenuous
opposition in the committee and their
author finally withdrew them. The
great majority of the delegates OPP
posed the mayors resolutions and
they would have been voted down if
they had reached the convention.
The mayor, by the way, does not
stand very high in the estimation of
the average Democrat from the inter-
Tor. Wisconsin Democrats don't like
him and they want none of his leader
ship. This sentiment is so strong
that it is quite sure to prevent the
mayor from rising any higher politi-
cally, even If he aspires to do so.
Not only that, but any man or meas
ure that he is known to favor will
have to run the gauntlet.
The party, by the way, has an OPP
portunity to strengthen the national
and state tickets by nominating for
United States senator a strong man,
who stands we'll with the intelligent
voters. Conditions may develop in
respect to the Republican nomination
for senator that will weaken that
party at the polls, by driving away
the independent vote, or a large part
of it, but the Democrats cannot ex-
pect to fall heir to this strength un-
less they nominate the right kind of
man. The character of the party
nominees for senator many affect the
choice of a number of members of the
state and national.

there to give awink and the informa
ton that a primary election is on.
But the venerable senator has a
string to his sudden conversion. He
wants commission appointed to do
the revising, and that commission,
even if the conversion were serious,
would be designated by the party that
was bought into power by the trusts.
Does any one think such commits.
sion would revise the tariff in the
interest of the consumer? The man
who gave s22, 600 to elect Sawyer and
$50, 900 to elect Spooner because he
knew they would keep the duty on

devil can quote Scripture to a pur-
pose and so can Uncle Isaac talk
revision. But we like to see an old
sinner at the mourner's bench. Gray
hairs become sackcloth and ashes
even if the wearer has to fix his mind
on his chances In the hereafter to
make him look solemn enough to
seem serious.

JULY BUTTER
SCORES HIGH
University Dairy School Exhibit
Has Ill Entries of Fine Quality
This Month,

The dairy school exhibit of butter
for July has just been scored, and the
records of the entries show exception
ally fine quality. First place in the
scoring was obtained by Matthew
Meyer of New Holstein and 1. z.
Holgerson of Troy Center, who tied
with score of 965.
In discussing the scores, Matthew
Michels, in charge of the exhibitions,
said
son the whole this lot of butter
showed up we'll, and but few mechani-
cal defects were found. Only six ex-
hibits of the Ill were scored off as
notified, and but five were found weak
Ia body. Among the flavor defects,
old cream, high acid, and oily were
most prominent. To overcome the
old cream flavor all cream should be
delivered az often as three times a
week. used to have cream gathered
four times week in hot summer
months, and three times a week dur
the rest of the year. AS the high
acid and oily favors are due to keep
ing the cream at high temperature for
too long before churning, the suggest
ion of Prof. Lund of South Dakota
that the cream be churned as soon as
possible after it reaches the creamery,
is an excellent one. "In a large num-
Der of creameries the facilities for
cooling the cream are not what they
should be, and too often the butter
maker is unable to regulate the tenn
perature of the cream. suggest
that whenever it is necessary the
buttermaker should not hesitate to
put clean crushed ice directly into the
cream vat or churn.
Entries for the next exhibition
should reach the dairy school not
later than Aug. 10. Prof. E. B. Hart
of the department of agricultural
chemistry. who is also chemist for the
agricultural experiment station at
Madison, made the case in and salt
determinations for the scoring. and
Thomas Corneliuson assisted Mr..
Michels in the other tests.
