Democracy's candidate for coroner,
was born in Mayville, Dodge county,
May l, 1861. In early life he was grad
uated from well known medical col
lege and since that time has further in
creased his knowledge of medicine and
surgery by taking courses in some of
the best medical colleges of this coun-
try and Germany. He came to this
city in 1886 and has been resident of
Wausau ever since, except for a short
period when he resided in Milwaukee.
He has served as coroner and city
health officer and for number of years
conducted the Riverside hospital, which
he established. This institution was
later known as St. Mary's hospital,
The office of coroner is very import
ant one. An officer can either make
much unnecessary expense or save
much to the county. He can oft times
by careful investigation pave the way
for the detection of crime and prosecu-
ton of criminals. Mr.. Sauerhering has
in all his official and private acts shown
good judgment and ability, and we
know that if he is elected he will serve
the best interests of every tax payer.

A Land Slide for Bryan.

Walter Wellman, the political
correspondent for the Chicago Rec
ord-Herald, is writing of the condi-
ton of the country. Writing of
New York, he says:
Four years ago I spent much time
in this city. Though I had no doubt
whatever of the election of Roose-
welt, to make sure [ spent days on
the east side and west side of the
town, as well as along the Broadway
and Fifth avenue center.
talked with truck drivers, cab
men, street Car employees, head
walters, BARRIERS, policemen, fire
men, stablemen, small shopkeepers,
statesmen. In a surprising large
number of instances, considering
that majority of these men are
democrats, the replies to my ques-
tions as to how they felt about the
presidency were of this order:
"Teddy looks good to us, or "We
are for Roosevelt"
During the past fortnight l have
done the same thing. A number of
my friends have also made it a point
to go about asking questions of the
same class of men. Almost invari-
ably the reply is: eve are all for
Bryan this year." or 81 don't hear
anything but Bryan this year." or
"All our boys are going to vote for
Bryan this time" Almost without
exception these men answer ques-
lions about the governorship with
a sheer at Hughes, and often with
a naughty crossword.
The republican leaders have dis
covered this same general tendency,
not only here in Manhatten, but
over in Brooklyn, in Buffalo,
Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, all
the cities. The same thing is true
in Jersey City and Newark and the
manufacturing towns of New Jersey.
1t is this state of things that has
caused the republican managers
anxiety as to whether or not they
shall be able to hold the state.
How are the workmen in the
shops? According to all reports,
there the same general tendency is
found, speaking as whole. There
are factories in which the workmen
are largely republican and where no
trend to Bryan is discernable.
These are chiefly protected indus
tries, wherein the wage-earners as
well as the proprietors know that
their bread is tariff buttered. And
vet, so strong is the "drift" of the
wage earning class to the democracy

tales reach the ears of the republi-
can managers from shops in which
no such trouble would naturally be
looked fer.

manager of large factory which
employs 600 or 700 uen and whose
activities are largely in filing

A MATHEMATICIAN has figured that
the votes cast at the late primary cleo
ton cost the three republican candi-
dates filing expense accounts in their
campaign for the nomination for U. S.
Senator as follows: McGovern's, ap-
proximately 25c each; Cooks, Csc each
and Hatton's Toe. each. What Uncle
Ike's cost is problematical, and if we
do not misjudge the character of the
man, the cost will never be known.
1t might be ST.. it might be $40 or more.
Some Wausau ''pluggers, who have
been walking around the streets with
new suits of clothes since the primary
election, might testify as to Ike's iber-
atty. McGovern's contribution to the
primary system would not pay for
Ike's newspaper advertisements alone

So many "Progressives" in the
republican party became convinced
that the democrats were right in
their war against the favoritism
accorded by that party to the
trusts, under the pretty name of
"Protection" to American indus
tries, that at last even the dyed in
the wool "stand-patters" who con-
trolled the recent national conven-
ton of the party we're forced to
make a promise of tariff revision in
their platform. It has been badly
needed at all times during the last
twelve years, and during all that
time they had the power to do it,
for they had the president and an
overwhelming majority in congress.
Now, at last, they promise to revise
the tariff. They had to make that
promise. Their only possible chance
to win the election was to get the
voters to accept that promise. In
ordinary business affairs business
man would not, give much for that
sort of a promise, coming from such
an unwilling promiser.

POSTMASTER TREvITT, who is stump
ing the county for the republicans says,
the democratic party put mortgages
on the farms of Marathon county and
the republican party paid for them"
The republican party has paid post
masters good fat salary, but any
thing the farmer has he has had to work
for and if he has paid mortgages they
were paid by his own energy. The re-
publican spell binders would have US
believe they are responsible for sun

pect they will claim credit for logging

AS recent example of Mr.. Bry-
ans ability to say great deal in a
few words, consider his remark, in
his speech accepting the nomina-
tion-that a nominee who accepts
is bound by his party's platform,
both as to what it says on public
questions, and as to what it has re-
fused to say. No direct reference
was made to Mr.. Taft's then recent
effort to amend the platform of the
republican party, by avowing his
personal intention to favor certain
reforms which the convention that
nominated him refused to incorpor-
ate in its platform. But the plain
logic of the political axiom involved
in Mr.. Bryan's words, is that a nom
inee who cannot conscientiously
accept his party's platform, should
be honest enough to decline the
nomination, and not attempt to win
votes by pretending that he can,
through his party, accomplish re-
forms to which that party is opposed.

SECRETARY of state Frear says in the

he made in Wausau, the state can't

How it Looked to a Republican

How it Looked to Republican.
The republican platform declara-
ton, as to revision of the tariff, is
as follows:
SIN all tariff legislation the true
principle is best maintained by the
imposition of such duties as will
equal the difference between the
cost of production at home and
abroad, together with reasonable
profit to American industries"
Mr.. Bryan, in one of his speeches
quoted this plank, word for word,
and then commented on it. One of
the editors of the Omaha Bee, a
republican paper, whose editor in
chief is chairman of the republican
publicity committee of Nebraska,
reading this plank of his own party
platform in Mr.. Bryan's speech, as
published, Numbered into thinking
that it was something Mr.. Bryan
said, and Immediately proceeded to
give it the following hard raps, not
dreaming that it was his own party
platform that he was castigating,
and so, feeling free to tell the truth:
Nothing prettier in the catch-all
line has been offered in this cam
paign. The most hide-bound stand
patter in the country can accept
that as satisfactory and the rankest
free trader can find delight in it.
The declaration means simply moth
ing. An attempt to legislate along
that line would simply open the way
to interminable wrangling as to
what constitutes reasonable profit,
for hair-splitting on wages on one
industry, price of raw materials in
another, rebates and drawbacks in
third, and so on through the list
of thousands of articles that are
now on the tariff revision, at Bry-
ans direction, would serve only to
halt industrial and commercial prog
ress and keep business unsettled
during his term of office"
Of course the first thing that
struck people who read this was the
beauty of the joke A republican
editor going hammer and tongs at
his own party platform, because he
mistook plank of it as being an
extract from Bryan's speech. But
after the joke comes a deeper, a
serious thought: Didn't this repub-
lican editor unwittingly tell the
truth about the tariff revision prom
Use contained in his own party plat
form? He would have to admit, at
least, that he intended to tell the
truth about it, as it seemed to him.
What this Omaha republican editor
said, unwittingly, Senator Sanborn
and other progressive republicans of
Wisconsin said openly and above
board at the recent republican plat
form convention at Madison that
this promise of tariff revision in the
national platform of their party, a
revision which will leave the tariff
favorites reasonable profit, means
nothing in the way of honest revi-
sion.
