In the person of Neal Brown the
Democrats of Wisconsin have hit upon
IA superior candidate for the United
States senate. Brown is as finely
equipped and of strong intellect as he is
sound and large of stature, and his
selection is one of the best things his
party has accomplished in this state in
many a day -WsnkeSha Dispatch.
The Democrats of Wisconsin acted
wisely when they nominated Neal
Brown for United States Senator. His
eminent fitness for the position con-
trasts most strongly with the unfitness
of his Republican opponent-isaac
Stephenson. Early in the campaign
this year someone emphasized the i'm
portance of wise leadership for the Dem
ocratic party; and another one replied
that what the Democratic party most
needed was not leadership, but more
numerous followers. In naming Mr.
Brown for Senator, and Mr.. Aylward
and the other candidates for state Off
GERS, Wisconsin democrats have greatly
strengthened their party. The right
kind of leadership has been secured i;
and, what is of greater Importance, it
has been secured by the rank and file
of the party acting upon their own mi
tiative. In this manner can the ranks
of democracy be recruited.
Democrats are not laundering this
year but are acting like men worthy
of the blessings of free government

Facts about the methods employed to
get votes for the Grand Old Man (?) in
the recent primary election in this
county are coming out. In the north
end of town, voters enjoyed the luxury
of having election beer delivered in
touring cars. This ought to catch the
working man, but is not expected to
influence the Yankee church votes, as
the Grand Old Man (?) and his friends
have that solid.
One of the defeated candidates for
office on the county ticket threatened
to contest his opponents election,
claiming to have atfidavits that beer
and booze were served in the polling
place, of at least one town.
When beaten candidates lay their de-
feat to the fact that their opponent got
on the Grand Old Mans ~ chariot and
had the advantage of the money and
touring cars which were used in his
cause, we suppose all the big and little
fishes will rally to the flag and shout
the revised battle cry, Save the Grand
Old Man"

LaFoIlette to "Usedo

The following is clipped from the
dispatches to the Milwaukee Free Press
under date of Sept. 4:
To offset the Bryan wave that is re-
ported to be sweeping through the
West a score of prominent national
speakers will be sent from Chicago to
take the stump for the Republican ma
tional ticket.
Speakers whose names are known to
practically every voter will be used by
the Republican leaders to campaign the
middle west and western states for Taft
The names of some of these spellblnd-
ers were announced today by Senator
Joseph M. Dixon of Montana, chairman
IF the Chicago speakers bureau
Some of the "thirteen-inch guns of
the western speakers bureau, as Sena-
tor Dixon terms them, are:
James 5 Sherman, vice presidential
nominee: Oscar Strauss, secretary of
commerce and labor; Elhu Root, secre-
tary of state; James Wilson, secretary
of agriculture; James +. Garfield, Sec
rotary of interior; Senator Albert j.
Beveridge, Indiana; Senator James B.
Foraker, Ohio; Senator Jonathan p
Deliver, Iowa; Senator Robert La Fol
lette. Wisconsin; Senator Knute Nelson,
Minnesota; Senator William A Smith,
Michigan; Senator Julius Caesar Bur
rows, Michigan; Senator Elmer j Bur
kett, Nebraska; Senator Norris Brown,
Nebraska; Gov. Edward w. Koch, Kan
Sas; Vice presiden Fairbanks; former
Senator w o. Bradley of Kentucky.
Senator Dixon announced that Nomi-
inee Sherman would tour the west, but
just where he will go on particular
dates has not been determined.
Here are several startling features in
/ the above dispatch the most startling
of all is that Senator LaFollette is to be
used" to offset the Bryan wave that is
reported to be sweeping through the
West. Then they will "use" James
Schoolcraft Sherman to Offset the Bryan
wave. Just think of it Think of the
uses that LaFollette, the radical, and
Sherman, standpatter, are being put to
The senator and the vice@presidential
candidate ought to travel together.
Walter Wellman says in his letter of
recent date in the Chicago Record Her
aid that:
One of the curious aspects of public
opinion in the West is illustrated by the
lecture tours of Senator La Toilette of
Wisconsin. He has been out on the
Chautauqua circuit and usually his
topic is the wickedness of the Republi-
can majority in Congress which passed
the Aldrich- Vreeland financial bill over
the filibustering protest of Senator Bob
They tell me it is no uncommon thing
for MIR. LaFollette to start his lecture
at o'clock in the afternoon and to
run on until : o'clock, holding an
audience of 5000 or 4 600 farmers and
their wives all that time while he reads
from the Congressional Record to prove
that the leaders of the Republican party
at the national capital are in cahoots
with Wall street and The System. 1"
Think of it-four mortal hours of talk
on a subject like this! And yet they
say the farmers stay 10 the last gasp,
drink in every word, and then drive
home in anxious meditation.

A Forced Confession.

Though Mr. Roosevelt repeatedly
has declared that there is no relation
| whatever between the trusts and the
tariff, we find in MIR. Tatt's speech of ac-
ceptance the confession that under the
existing law "the tariff in number of
schedules exceeds the difference be-
tween the cost of production of such
articles abroad and at home, including
reasonable profit to the American pro =
Queer. The excess over that difference
serves no useful purpose, but offers q
temptation to those who would monOp-
articles in this country, to profit by the
excessive rate"
This gives away the whole tariff
scheme of the Republican party. The
fact that in nearly every protected in
dustry trusts and combinations have
been forced to escape competition and
charge the consuming public the ex
cessive prices privileged by the tariff
indicates how sweeping the schedules
are that offer temptation to the tariff
benefieiaries to organize monopolies.
1t was the head of the sugar trust
that first hailed the tariff as the mother
of trusts. For years the Republican
politicians aud the trust magnates have
united in denying that the tariff has
anything to do with the trusts Roose-
welt utterly has ignored the tariff, con,
tenting himself with busting" the
trusts through a series of unsuccessful
lawsuits. But, after the public has
been stripped to the bone by the tariff
bandits, a Republican candidate for
president, trying hard to be a near
Democrat, while denouncing Bryan for
being real one, acknowledges that
high tariff IS direct incentive TO mon-
opoly.-Milwauke News.

The Record-Herald last night said
that there were 800 committeeman
present at the republican meeting
yesterday. There are only 80 pre-
cincts in the county and only three
committeemeHin each precinct, and if
every one was present there could only
have been III. 1t takes a good mathe-
matician to figure out 300 committeeman
out of III, but you can count on the
Record-Herald to thus figure out every
thing pertaining to republicanism from
now until the end of the campaign.
The law provides that the county COM
mittee shall consist of the chairman of
each town, village and ward committee,

UNCLE JOE CANNON received a solar
plexus blow from William j Bryan on
Thursday, from which he will never
recover, in fact it is thought Joe is
down and cut. Joe Cannon, in a speech
before the republican convention at
Springfield, ILL.,, made very undigni-
fed attack on Mr.. Bryan, saying:
There stands the democratic candidate,
a successful ehatauqua lecturer, who
has made 100000 selling wind and
ink to the public"
Mr.. Bryan in speech at Quincy, H.,
answered Mr. Cannon and took the
''fat fryer to task in the following
language:
My lectures have been profitable
and my writings lave paid me we'll, but
no one attends the lectures unless he
wants to do so, and no one buys what
write unless he is interested in reading
it. More than hall of my time since
1896 has been given to gratuitous work,
and yet l have been able to support my
L
would estimate at about S125, 900, but as
one can never accurately say what
property is worth until he sells it will
fix $4,000 as the outside limit, the
maximum of my wealth and L am will
ing to leave the public to determine
whether that is more than | ought to
have earned, or whether | have earned
it honestly.
And now having answered the critl
cism of Mr.. Cannon and shown that his
accusation is false, think | am justi-
fed in asking him to be as frank with
the public as | have been. He began
holding Office in 1861, when | was year
old, and during the last forty seven
years he has held Office more than forty
years of the time, aud about thirty-five
years of that time he has been a men,
Der of Congress and has been drawing
a salary that the members of Congress
thought so inadequate that the salary has
recently been increased
''Will he tell us what he has been SELL
ing, to whom he has sold it and how
much he got for it ? He ought to tell US
whether he has made any money lectur-
ing or writing-that is by selling wind
and ink, to choose his own choice Ian
guage. He has been greatly hampered
in the accumulation of money by the
strict attention to public duties and yet
he is reputed to be wealthy. If he will
tell us just how much he is worth we
can then guess how much he might
have been worth had he been free to
devote his talents to money making"

Maine Election.

The Milwaukee Sentinel evidently
does not like the returns from Maine.
This morning in very small item it
publishes the news that the state was
carried by the republicans yesterday by
about 5000, and that the returns thus
far show gain of 30 per cent. for the
democrats. This looks as if even the
state of Maine will be for Bryan in
