AWKWARD AT TWO RIVERS.

Hon. John A. Aylward, twice the
Democratic canidate for governor OF
Wisconsin, delivered a political ad-
dress at Two Rivers last Tuesday even
iLg.
The committee had almost decided
not to hold "a meeting, believing that
the sleety rain and fierce wind that
were sweewing over the city would
discourage everyone from venturing
from their homes. At the hall they
were surprised to find over % voters
awaiting the speaker and before he
had spoken long, over 100 were in the
hall.
Aylward was in splendid form. In
his smooth and persuasive manner he
clinched fact and argument in an unans
werable arraignment of the Republican
administrations, state and national.
In discussing the tariff he said that
Adolph j. Schmitz is too conservati We
in his figures. The tables of Aldrich
and Payne used at the last session of
congress, show that the cost of Amer
lean made goods to the American
people is annually two billion dol
lars in excess of their import value
with the wage difference here and a
broad added, and this figure is reached
by using 30 per cent as the average
duty when in fact it is As per cent. This
is vhe unearned and anne .9sary ta.. tho
people pay into the Golfers of the pro-
tected interests every year. Every in
telligent and fair man now comedies
that change is necessary. The share
of this tariff tax paid by Manitowoc
County is 81 $50, 900, basing the figures
on population.
The insurgents in Congress must act
through their party organiza-
ton and that is controlled by the fav-
ored interests. The only hope of re-
lief is in the Democratic party which
is pledged to revision in the inter-
ests of the consumer and the common
people.
The speaker commented upon the
almost unbelievable increase in state
taxes in recent years and said that no
justification for this increase has been
made. 1t is improbable that there can
be any proper return to the people for
twenty-fold increase in state taxes in
sixteen years, while population in
creased about 25 per cent
Discussing county option he scored
the cowardice of the Republican party
in Wisconsin for refusing to tell the
people where they stand. He said,
"vote for Anton Strouf, he'll vote "a
gainst it, and vote for Adolph
Sbhmitz, he'll veto it if it
passes" Over so republican candi-
dates for the legislature favor county
option.
A splendid tribute was paid to Sena-
tor Randolph's devotion to the inter-
ests of the people in his career at
Madison.
Cummins of Iowa was scored for his
recent Chicago utterance, "the worst
Republican is preferable to the best
Democrat" Speaking in the city of
Lorimer and the state of Cannon this
so-called progressive ought surely to be
ashamed of this sentiment"
The speaker predicted immense Dem
ocratfc gains all over the nation, and
expressed belief in very probable
democratic victory in Wisconsin.
Anton Strouf, candidate for the as
sembly gave short talk and pledged
himself to stand by the party prom
ises to vote and work consistently in
the interests of the people if elected.
The County candidates were all pre-
sent and the success of the meeting
was unexpected because of the most
unfavorable weather conditions.
