ELECT "UNCLE IKE"

There have been some intimations
in the state papers to the effect that
there might be fight in the legisla-
ture next winter against Uncle IKE
Stephenson and that the opposition
would be led by the Senior Senator,
There will be nothing of the kind.
The primary election law was enacted
in obedience tn the wishes of Senator
La Toilette in the interest Of "repre-
sentative GOV eminent Senator
Stephenson received a plurality of
the votes cast and most Of the repub-
lIcan legislative nominees have ex-
pressed their intention of voting, if
elected, for the man who received the
most votes. Under the circun stances
it viii be we'll for the senior senator
to stand up and take his political dope
and make no wry faces, for he will
undoubtedly be up against q hard pro-
position two years hence. and possibly
go to the wall.

THE WORLDS TOTAL
OF TELEPHONES

\ recent careful estimate of the
number of telephones in the world
shows that there we're at the beginning
of the present year about 100000. OF
these about 100000 were in EurOpe
100000 in other countries exclusive of
the United States, where there were
about 100000, of which 100000 we're
included in the Bell system. sprinkled
more or less evenly throughout the
country from ocean to ocean and from
the Great Lakes to the Gulf, covering
every state and territory. The Bell
telephones, constituting the greatest
system in existence. are linked together
by more than 100000 miles of wire.
Of this network the Wisconsin Com
pany is an essential part. Growing APP
probation of the advantages of a COM
prehenSive system is shown by the fact
that hundreds of local companies have
been united under q sub-licensee ar
rangement with the larger organiza-
ton. Long distance connection is
wanted everywhere.

OBJECT TOO TRANSPARENT.


A very ingenious scheme is on foot
to counteract the influence of the
Hearst Independent Party, no doubt
engineered ny democrats who fear de-
feat of their party through the defec-
ton from its ranks of large numb er
of Independent democratic voters. The
parties interested in the move who are
unknown, is to draw republican support
for ticket composed of Theodore
Roosevelt tor president and Joseph
W. Folk of Missouri for vice-presi-
dent. The object is too transparent
to deceive the most unsophisticated in
the political ways of politicians. Then
it would be impossible to elect such a
ticket-for the next president will
either be Taft or Bryan, and it is
morally certain that neither President
Roosevelt or Gov. Folk are parties to
the movement and the public will look
upon it with distrust and let it alone.

No DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

When we hear men extolling the
democracy, we cannot refrain from
asking them the question, propounded
by William R. Hearst to the Iroquois
club, democratic organization IN San
Francisco in replying to request that
he withdraw from the club. He SAID :
"You imply that | am not a Demo-
ccrat. You imply that you are Dem
ocrats, and ! cannut help wondering
what kind Of Democrats you think YOU
are.
Are you 1892 Democrats, OF 1896
Democrats, or 1900 Democrats, or 1904
Democrats, or 1908 Democrats? Are
you Cleveland Democrats, believing
in the tariff reform that we uidn t
get, and the military suppression of
labor unions that we did get? Are
you Parker democrats, supporting the
trusts if they contribute and opposing
them if they don't! Are vo1 BRYAN
Dem. Gratis, believing IN free silver
sometimes and IN government owner
ship sometimes, and and in the initia-
tive and the referendum sometims =?
And if you are Bryan Democrats and
believe IN these things, do you also
believe in Bryan platform that con-
tains none of these thlngs?"
Then you remember how you threw
your hats in the air over public own
vership and worked up an almost hys-
terical enthusiasm for 1t, and then
were Informed that this wasn't true
Democracy either, but that the initia-
tive and referendum were.
''Then you came nobiy to the front
again and affirmed undying devotion
to the everlasting principles of the
initiative and referendum; but now
you have a platform in which there is
no free silver, in which there is no
public ownership, in which there is NO
initiative and referendum, and still
you are informed by the Old DR.. Grin
die of Democracy that only that plat
form with the owners trade mark
pasted on the front and the owners
name blown in the bottle is genuine
democracy, and that if you don't sub
scribs to that you will be read out of
the Democratic party.
Friends, there is no Democratic
party. There is only Bryan party,
and the followers of that party don t
know when they go to bed at night
what they will be called upon to be-
lieve when they wake up IN the morn
ing.
