is a legal process for filcling from the
people more money to be squandered
in eXtraYagant state expenditures and
maintaining an army Of political WORK
ers to keep in power a class of men
who care nothing for the people who
are already burdened with excessive
taxes. For years, under Progressive
Watchfulness and Indifference to the
interests of the people, there has been
a hunt to find property to be taxed
so as to increase the revenue of the
state, and the expenditures have KEEP
pace with the increased revenue. The
Progressives have cost this state mil
lions Of dollars unnecessarily, and it IS
time that there was an awakening
upon the part of the voters, and {
return to honest methods. The Pro
gresslves pirate about what they have
done for WiscOnsin-a1d what have
they done? Increased state expenGi-
lures 124 per cent, trebbled the taxes,
passed inquisitional laws to pry into
the business affairs OF individuals and
corporations, and created hundreds of
unnecessary offices fer the benefit Of
political henchmen.

is DODGING THE ISSUE

The Democratic presidential candI-
date is lodging the tariff question in
his talk to farmers. His party has
declared for tariff for revenue only,
which is practically free trade, and
should the Democracy be successful IN
electing a PRECEDENT and a congress,
the conditions of 1903-4-5 will again be
experienced in this country, and the
farmers suffer a great depreciation in
the price of their products and the
value of their realty holdings. Every
that diversified industries are abso-
lutely necessary for the prosperity Of
this country. There must be a de-
mand for the products of the farm,
which is maintained by the production
OF our industries. That the tariff is
too high on some articles, all who
have studied the subject will admit,
and that there should be a revision is
also true, an end which President
Taft and his party have endeavored
to effect, but have been opposed by
the Democrats and their insurgent
allies in congress. 1t will be we'll for
the farmers and the laboring class to
study the past and give their support
to the national Republican party,
which has made this nation great and
prosperous.
In view of the fact that capitalists
are contributing literally of funds to
further the political fortunes of Roose-
welt and Wilson, there must be an OBJ
ject for their generosity. The old
Scotch saying seems to be quite ger
maine: who pays the piper calls the
tunes" The object evidently is to
keep the people divided so that they
will not unite in their own interest,
and then they laugh and say, What
fools these mortals be-" 1t is time
that the people awoke TO a realization
of the fact that they are being de-
ceived and imposed upon. The polit-
ical history of Wisconsin the past ten
years is sufficient evidence of the
deception used,

WOMAN SUFFRAGE NOTES

The Political Equality League Of TINS
city has been very busy of late and
will continue SO until after Noyem-
Der s. Thursday evening Of last week
photo play was gwen at the Orph-
cum entitled, Votes for Woman.
While the league did not clear ex-
penses, they feel that the question
that will help the cause. We are very
grateful to Mr. Buchalter and also to
Miss Ethel, who SO sWeetly sang two
suffrage songs. Saturday evening be-
ing the opening night Of the league
headquarters, we engaged as our
speaker Mrs Pauline Steinern of To
Iedo, Ohio. Mrs. S. was for five years
on the school board in Toledo, and is
at present on the library board in the
city. She is a woman Of very strong
character, and has taken up the sui
frage work because she finds it a great
educator Mr. DuTant c. Gle intro
duced Mrs S. in a very eloquent man
ner and said that he had espoused the
cause of suffrage for the reason that
his father dieu when he was a boy
ten years of age, leaving his mother
to battle life alone, and never had a
word to say in regard to her prop
erty simply because she was a
woman.
He kindly loaned his automobile for
the use Of the speaker, which the mem
bers of the league appreciated.
Mrs. Steinern spoke of the equality
that should exist between man and
woman, and SAD hat in Wyoming
women have had the right to vote
since 1869, and that during that time
there has been fewer divorces than in
any other state. She told US that the
suffrage ballot will be a pink ballot,
and we hope the voters will see that
their vote is in the affirmative on this
pretty ~colored slip.
Everyone is invited to come to our
headquarters at 205 North Second
street, next to Ovens drug store
Someone will be in charge every day
except Sunday from 3 to 6 and to
each afternoon and evening.

The Republican Party Must Wiz.

Among the many reasons W h y
the republican party will win at the
national election, the following are
a few which should appeal to every
intelligent voter:
Because the republican party
has given the country sixteen years
of unexampled prosperity.
Because the democratic party
would DESTROY manufa ctures, injure
the farmers and drive workingmen
out of employment by enacting free
trade legislation.
Because President Taft has been
honest, efficient, fearless and pa
triotic In his administration.
Because Roosevelt has failed
even with his Democratic Aid So
cietv, to wreck the republican party
which honored him and which was
good enough for him until he failed
to get the nomination.
Because the American people in
1912, as in 1896, will vote for bust
ness stability, national credit, un-
Iversal employment, good wages
the integrity of the courts and &
safe and wise government under
the Constitution.

THOUGHTS By THE WAY

The efforts of the McGovernites to
secure the support of the Stalwart
Republicans, old or young, to down La
Toilette will fail. The, Stalwarts are
not ready now, nor will they ever be,
to exchange Senator La Toilette for
Governor McGovern, for tne senator
stands for much that the Stalwarts
approve. He is not a Bull Mooser; he
is right on the tariff, and loyal to his
party, and however much they may
disagree with him as to his political
methods they will not turn against
him to help a man who has been dis
loyal to party and friends.
