RE LOYAL TO WISCONSIN.

Judge Joseph g. Donnelly called
down Attorney General Bancroft at the
druggists convention in Milwaukee last
week for vilifying Wisconsin. Good
for Judge Donnellyl The claim that
Wisconsin is good state to emigrate
from is as false as it is unpatriotic.
They are queer patriots who hurrah
for the flag while all the time throwing
stones at the best State in the Union.
They are far too numerous and ought
to be rebuked on every occasion.
In the Democrat Office IA few months
ago the writer talked with a man whom
the people Of Mineral Point all honor.
He is n man of large affairs and owns
properties in both Wisconsin and Hi
nois, upon which he pays taxes. And
he testified from personal experience
that taxes are not higher in Wisconsin
than in Illinois, while this state is far
and away ahead in the matter Of good
government in the laws and in the OK
ecution Of the laws; and especially IN
its courts and in the matter or public
education.
Wisconsin is good state to live in.
1t is not growing worse. 1t is growing

FAIR TO ORGANIZED
LABOR.

The Union Advocate, published at
Sioux City, is received regularly at this
Office. 1t il published by William IL.
Bastian, formerly of Mineral Point,
and ably represents organized labor
We have been watching it closely of
late to observe it's leanings in the presi
Dental campaign For several weeks
last past it contained considerable mat
ter derogatory to governor Wilson.
This was published under the heading
advertising, and was presumably
paid for by the Republican national
committed
This week, however, The Union
Advocate comes ont of its own accord
clear and strong in support of
Governor Wilson as the only one of the
three leading presidential candidates
who il true to the cause of organized
labor. The news columns publishes
records which clearly establish this
contention; while the editorial columns
support Governor Wilson most strongly
by sustaining with good argument his
contention that the suggestion of the
Progressive Republican party for n
minimum wage scale is u proposition
fraught with grave danger.
The progress of the campaign shows
that Wilson has II great grasp upon
public affairs and has the power to
convince the people that he is right.
More and more they are recognizing
him rs the hope of the country, rs
the right and proper man to be chosen
to responsible leadership of this great
nation. Governor Marshall, too, is Il
good running mate. They will be
elected.

Wilson's Speeches.

New York World: Gov. Wilson y
speeches are an oasis in II campaign
desert 1t has been many year since
II candidate for president made such II
clear, convincing appeal to the reason
and intelligence of the American peo-
pie.
These speeches are Il model Of cam
paign discussion. In tone and temper
they are exactly what the utterances of
candidate for President should be-
They are in complete harmony with the
dignity of the greatest elective Office
known to human history. They are the
utterances of statesman, not the
tricky appeals of an ambitious politi
clan.
Gov, Wilson makes no argument to
prejudice or passion or class hatred
lie abuses nobody. He makes no per
sonal attacks upon Mr.. Taft or Mr..
Roosevelt. He ignores all personal at
tacks made upon himself He calls no
body II liar or Il thief or II crook or Il
pickpocket or II burglar or II scoundrel
He does not trim his principles to meet
local antipathies but discusses the
same questions and the same issues in
Kansas and Colorado that he discusses
in New York and New Jersey. In
nothing that he has said is there the
faintest suspicion OF demagogy. He is
telling the American people what i'll his
opinion the Government should do to
promote the general welfare and what
he rs President would do to influence
government,
These speeches are as happy in man
ner us in substance They reveal Gov
Wilson rs II sane, self controlled leader
moving along the line of clear, definite
progressive principles Of government,
BY his conduct on the stump we know
what his conduct in the White House
will be- BY the way he discusses pub
lie questions now we know how he will
discuss them after he becomes Presi-
dent.
If it were possible for the National
Committee to collect all the speeches
made in this campaign by Gov. Wilson,
President Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt and
print them in a single volume it would
be the most convincing Democratic
campaign document that could he
circulated. No intelligent, uuDrej,
udiced voter could read the Wilson
speeches in comparison with the Taft
ing Woodrow Wilson's overwhelming
qualifications for the Presidency.
