STATE EXTRAVAGANZA,

1.-THE total receipts for Wisconsin for the year

the year ending June Both, 1912 was $11 239 675 49,
a total of $22, 1872 91076 or an average of $40 $780,

this means that every man, woman and child in the
state contributed by direct taxation each year
$466.
The receipts enumerated above are the net re-
ceipts after deductng all moneys received by the
state as transfer agency funds, such nheri-
lance, street railways and other agency taxes.
The total receipts for the state of Iowa for the
year ending June Both, 1911 was 81 1885, 867 70 for

showed that the total salary for Wisconsin officials

THE RECALL OF GOV. McGOVERN.

AS result of Gov. McGoverns declaration in
favor of COL Roosevelt as candidate for the pres

county on Tuesday of last week. demanding the re-
call of McGovern as candidate for governor on the
republican ticket. Copies of the petition have been
mailed to every republican county committee in the
state for concerted action. The petition reads as
follows:
"Whereas Francis E. McGovern, the nominee of
the Republican party in Wisconsin for the office of
governor was nominated as the candidate for such
Office by the Republicans under the belief aud under

THE FLABBERGASTED CANDIDATE.

Denying all blame for 'the unqualified success" of
the income tax law, Francis E. McGovern turns to
argue for changes and amendments of his unquali-
fled success
Explaining to one audience that he was not to
blame for the enactment of the income tax law, he
confdes to another audience that the income tax
law lowers the taxes of the poor man. and increases
the taxes of the rich man Francis E. McGovern
admits too in one of his labored political speeches.
that he never paid until So for hoeny:t iUe
gears Francis E. McGovern has been tax dodger
Notwithstanding the fact that for eighteen gears he
has been draining salary r0n the peoples treasury
What funny fabbergasted bundles of inconss-
tency these political patriots become when they
see the handwriting of an outraged people on the
wall What a splendid record of achievement to
present for endorsement at the polls Securing
his name the primary ballot by mistatement
of his political affiliations Filing declaration that
he will accept the republican nomination as the
candidate of that party for governor. Advertising
himself the republican candidate for Governor at
the primary in the official political pamphlet pub
lshed by the state Nominated as the republican
candidate at the primary by deception of the repub-
lcan voters, he waits until it is too late for the
publican voters to place another candidate in the
field, and then he repudated the republican party,
its national platform and its candidate for presi-
dent, declares his allegiance to the bull-moose
ddate, and still holds to the republican nominal
ton for governor and asks for the votes of the
members of the republican party of this state. AS
an exhibition of monumental and effrontery
this would do credit to the bullmoose candidate for
president Himself.
Senator La Toilette refers to McGevern as the
badly n,uSSed up progreSSiUe candidate for goUeymor
aoaitiag until he safely nominated and then exhibit

aooad hare shon courage if he had taken has plunge

And this man McGovern charges President Taft
with having secured a denomination by fraud. This
cleanhanded candidate, McGovern, the ally of the
Milwaukee socialists denounces the fusion move
ment of the democrats and republicans in Milwau-
kee county-whose purpose is to defeat socialism

voters who suffering from a severe attack of

that Francis E. McGovern will be the worst beaten
candidate who ever ran on the republican ticket.
And no man ever deserved it more.

A Grand Mobilization.

About fifty vessels representing
the flower of the American navy,
are riding at Anchor in the Hudson
river today. Nearly one-half of the
vessels are battleships, which vary
in size from the great superdread-
nought of the Wyoming type to
the new obsolete type represented
by the famous old Ohio. In additi-
on to the battleships there are ar
mored cruisers, scout cruisers, gun
boats, torpedo craft, destroyers,
submarines supply ships, range ships
mine layers, hospital ships, and
other auxiliary vessels. The arrival
of a dozen additional battleships
and a number of auxiliaries will
complete the fleet, which will then
be ready for theS greatest moboliza-
ton the Western world has ever
seen. Today the great fleet will be
reviewed by President Taft.

An unusual feature Of the meeting
of the Western Iowa Editorial asso-

the viewpoint Of the retail merchant
by David Oransky, well known mer-
chant. and advertiser Of Atlantic, la.
The speaker declared that the adver-

and adaptability Of his goods, rather
then depend on advertising prices.

REPUBLICAN HOPE

Gov. Burke Declares for Demo-

BY JOHN BURKE,
Governor Of North Dakota.

The election Of Governor Wilson is
the only thing that can save the Re-
publican party. Four years of Presi-
dent Taft has split 1t in two. We
have no reason to believe that he will
be any different or that his second ad-
ministration, II he is reelected, will
be any more satisfactory to the people
than his first. His reelection will
mean the division of the Republican
party into many warning factions,
which can only result In final dissolu-
ton Of ALL
The end will come quicker and just
as certain II Roosevelt is elected. for
he is no longer q Republican, but is
the leader of q new party. at war with
the Republican party, as It 10 with the
Democratic party. On the other hand,
II Wilson is elected the Roosevelt par
ty will perish; the Republicans will
reorganize their party, purge 1t OF the
baneful influence Of corporate power
and greed and p.ake 1t again the
grand old party q was In the days of
Lincoln.
