jeopardy Republican success in Wis
consin.
The great Republican majorities in
this state IA recent years have reflect
intelligent public opinion. They
have evidenced the confidence of the
people in the sincerity of a party 8
purpose to fulfill it's promises The
results have justified that confidence:
they have demonstrated again that the
party, whatever internal differences
may at times prevail, could always
be depended upon to respond to public
opinion when soberly reached and
certainly expressed. It has always
been the great constructive party of
the country. 1t has always been a
progressive party. Tt may not always
have advanced as rapidly as some
would wish but it is always advanc-
ing safely and wisely.
What is known as the Wisconsin
movement, the purpose of which has
been the control OF the powers of
government for all the people, as
against control. by....Special Interests
for the benefit of the few, has now be-
come national movement. The Re-
publican party in it's national plat
form has unequivocally Endorsed the
Roosevelt policies. 1t has nominal
ed as its candidate for president the
man who has most conspicuously re-
presented those policies, and who, in
every public utterance, has made his
position 50 clear that none can doubt
it.
If this movement then is not to be
retarded and checked, no man in Wis.
consin, republican or democrat. who
has helped to make it successful here
and who wishes it to be successful in
the nation, can hesitate to vote for
the republican national ticket in
November.
So in Wisconsin, if nothing of all,
that has been gained is to be lost. if
the party is to continue its progress
sive course, without halt, no personal
difference, no mistaken prejudices,
must be allowed to control. No one
at this time must De deceived as Mr..
Kelly says by newspapers or in
dividuals now shouting along the
skirts of the reform movement, which
in times of stress and contest they
sought only to belittle and tried to
stop. Their purpose then was plain.
Their efforts were in vain. They
seek now by less direct means, but no
less ce tainly, to serve the same sell
fish interests they always have served,
and they hope to accomplish their
ends by dividing the friends of a
political movement which has done
and is doing more for the permanence
of democratic government than any
other movement in American politics.
Taft, the republican nominee in
the nation for president. Davidson,
to be the republican nominee in Wis
consin for governor. Surely no one
IAN say that the party in its candi-
iates has not given every guaranty of
ts progressiveness. The shouters
llong the skirts of the reform move
Rent may seem by the noise they
make to be accomplishing wonders.

'orhaps themselves. The Milwaukee

Debs' Visions.
Communicated.

communicated.
Eugene V. Debs' erstwhile prom
inent strike promoter and leader has
finally reached the heighth of his am
bition as the nominee for the Office of
president by the social Democrats.
Debs like all the labor leaders has in
speech made in Milwaukee he scored
both the Republican and Democratic
parties. He is reported to have said
that 1T is disgrace to vote the Re-
publican ticket;'' that means that
1881, 975 men who voted the RepubIi-
can ticket in 1904 are disgraced He
condemned the Democratic part for
having done nothing for the labobring
men.
He alleged that fifty years ago
there were no tramps, but now there
are 6, 900, 900. Just think of it, near
~ every other man a tramp. for the
presidential vote in 1904 shows that
Is, 523, 561 vostes were cast. He calls
the laboring man ignorant. They
must be if they believe the Ak
travagant statement of their sponsor.
He further says that there are $780,
600 wage earners out Of employment.
Like all otner labor leaders Debs is
reckless in statistics. If Debs would
take q tramp through the country like
the legomobile editor Of the Fenni-
more Times. he would not find q tramp
a day nor an idle wage Garner In q
week. No fool knave is fit to fill
our presidential chair.
He made only one statement which
was based upon facts and that was
that the Demcratic party has done
nothing for the labring man. "
That statement is eminentlY true, for
there is no period during any Of the
Democratic administrations that did
or attempt to fill the working man g
dinner pail. Tho Democratic leaders
always attempted to open the gates
for free foreign merchandise, thereby
filing the foreign laborers' pail with
substantial food while our own people
could reflect their face in the bottom
Of their empty buckets. It is really
remarkable that in spite of these well
known facts, great many. yes the
majority Of home wage earners are in
the ranks Of the Democratic party.
