organization, said Chester Lloyd
Jones of the state university,
speaking at the twenty-ninth annu-
al grove meeting at Tower Hill.
There could be no greater mis-
take. Party organization lies at
the very basis of democratic
government. No government by
the people, in the true sense of
these words, can exist without
parties, and parties cannot do their
work we'll unless organized fer
efficiency. 1t is the common thing
to speak of party workers. the
ward heelers," if you please-with
contempt.
But these men perform a function
absolutely essential to our govern
rnent. We must come to realize
that the party boss and the ward
worker are the servants of the pub
lie in a very real and necessary
way. Leaders we must have. Par
les and party organization there
must be for all time. Only as the
formation of parties is made easier,
and the strength and responsibility
Of parties is increased, not lessen
ed, can we hope for better, cleaner
government than we now have"

Sl.5O Per Year Strictly In Advance
THE LAFOLLETTE CONTEST
FOR GOVERNOR.

Three La Toilette men are in the
open contending for the primary
nomination for governor. There is
Candidate Lewis of Racine, and
Candidate McGovern of Milwau-
kee, and Candidate Strange of
Neenah, all simon pure, knock-you-
down if you don t-believe-it- La
Toilette men. Each one declares
that he is the only and last child at
the breast and thus the only one
entitled to the wonderful stream Of
nourishment that is supposed to
flow from the front. 1t is beginning
to look a little ludicrous and the
longer the play lasts on the stage
the more ludicrous it will seem. r
In the meantime Senator Fair
child, who stands on the broad
tair and just platform of support
to President Taft and the accom-
pllshment of sound Republican
policies, IS making splendid head
way among the voters. The rank
and file of the Republican party in
Wisconsin are heartily sick of that
kind of politics that means only
everlasting fighting, wrangling and
discord. On every hand among
the farmers and business men is
heard this comment: ct is time
we agreed together as Republicans
and quit turning vinegar rather
than oil on the machinery of our
party"
The ordinary citizen wants his
party and the man he elects to
office to be worth something more
to the country than a common
scold. This constant fighting the
president and everybody else, and
doing nothing for anybody but
yawl and snarl and scold, is getting
to be very wearing to the nerves
and the patience of the average
Republican. Give us a man like
Fairchild who has done something
and can do something, and who
looks kindly on his fellowmen. 1t
IS such men who do things. -Ex-

STAND BY OUR PARTY.

The keynote of the first speeches
of Speaker Levi H; Bancroft in
this primary campaign is worthy of
widest publicity. It is found in
this admonition:
Stand by your fellow man. Do
unto others as ye would they should
do unto you. Have confidence in
your neighbor; don't distrust him.
Go to the polls on primary election
and regular election days and cast
your ballot. If this country was
worth dying for, it is not worth
living for? Back up the present
administration and do not take
stock in the rantings Of self-seeling
politicians who are striving to dis
credit the Taft rule.
It is popular to decry the party

Samuel A. Cook has. been
farmer, lumberman, a tie cutter,
a merchant, a manufacturer, an
ernploye and an employer. He has
worked in field, IN shop, in woods,
in store and in office. He knows
and has learned from experience
not as theorist the sweat of whose
brow was generated. on a speakers
platform.
In a recent issue of LaFollette's
Weekly Magazine, the Milwaukee
republican convention is pictured
as fake convention, engineer in
Washington and financed in Wall
street. "-Waterloo Democrat.
It also said, that the convention
was financed and dominated by the
Wisconsin brewers. Which is
which and which is the lie? In
fact, both are untrue, and sent out
to prejudice the unthinking people
who would rather believe an I'M
truth; and the temperance people,
who can be flushed" by the
brewer bogy.
The republican who fops over to
the democratic party is now called
an elepehdonk and by the same
token, a democrat who votes the
republican ticket at the primary
election might be called a iackass-
donk-and lots of them have been
doing it the past few years. They
should come and stay, or vote their
own ticket at the primary election
and let the republicans fight their
own battles.
Laboring men who wish to favor
a man who is their friend not for
votes only, should read of how
Samuel A. Cook treats his own en-
ployes.
The editor of the Reeseville Re-
view, who is one Of the most faith
full democrats in the state, says:
Democrats elected Joe Cannon
speaker; democrats elected Ike
Stephenson senator. What is the
democrat party. anyway"
Why, bless your heart, ohm, the
democratic party has been an ad-
junct to the republican party for
many years. 1t was democratic
votes that elected LaFollette gov
ernor wheu the party could have
elected its own nominee, had all
the members Of the party been
loyal to their ticket. 1t begins to
look, Bro. Hughes, as if you would
have no party in Wisconsin two
years hence. The twenty per cent
will surely fix the democracy good
and plenty.
1t makes the writer exceedingly
tired to hear democrats talk of the
grand old party of Lincoln and

great party of Lincoln and Grant,
they should read the political his
tory Of the country and learn how
their political ancestors lied and
then keep silent. The writer is
near-insurgent who recognizes
the fact that there is much vet to
done for the people, and that the
republican party must and will free
itself from the incubus, the system,
which is now getting what it de-
serves.
We would say to Burt Williams:
Stop chewing the rag" and get
out and hold your party together.
1t we are not greatly mistaken,
you helped to disrupt your party

its standard and should be reward

Uncle Joe Cannon is mad all the
way through because it has been
intimated that he, Aldrich and Bal
lnger have been slated for the DO
lltlcal scrap heap. He says that
he will run again and be a candi-
date for the speakership of the
House. He reminds US of the bull
which undertook to buck a locomo-
tive off the track. An Irishman
looking at the mangled remains of
the bull expressed himself thusly:
Begora, | admire his grit, but
dispise his Judgment" Uncle Joe
will know a whole lot of things
after the next general election and
in the meantime, he had better give
his attention to his ward, city and
county and see that they do not
slip away from him.
Everybody will rejoice that the
ring" in California, headed by
the Southern Pacific railway COM
pany has been downed. For years
that company has been the political
power in that state, naming the
United States senator's, congress-
men and state officers, and it made
no difference which party was in
control, for it practically owned
both parties and used them for its
own advantage and benefit.

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

There is a calf in Pennsylvania
with life like profile of the late
lamented Mark Twain on one side
of its body. The profile is black
resting on white background.
The calf was dropped April 10,
1910, the same day the great hum

The calf is attracting considerable
attention and the owner is proud of
