Live Candidate Wanted.
{From the Milwaukee sentinel.)

Unless the republicans can sue
coed in inducing some representa-
tive man of affairs with due quota
of personal magnetism and human
sympathy about him to take the
field, it will be Gov. Karel next time
as sure as sunrise. Unless the
people of Wisconsin prefer dry sticks
to live candidates, McGoyern can no
more beat Karel in the election than
Schmitz can beat him at the pri-
maries.
1t is time for some plain talk here.
McGoven's weakness (since his Chi
cago fasco) and Karels strength is
a menace to the republican out
look in the state. Judge Karel is a
formidable opponent for the best
man the party can put up; and we
republicans certainly can not win
a race by entering hen against a
horse.
McGovern's crawishing has not
helped him particle with LaFol
letteism. Can not our progressive
friends scare up strong and suita-
BILE opponent for Judge Karel, who
will push the hopeless McGovern off
the track at the primaries?

Associated News MisrepreSenta


That there may have been some
ground for the newspaper confe-
renee held at Madison last week to
investigate the situation in regard
to newspapers of the country, and
about which one of our esteemed
contemporaries has worked itself
into such a conniption fit, is given
some color by the character of the
reports of the flood sent out by the
associated press.
There lies before us now a copy
of the Los Angeles California;
Herald, with an account of the
recent food at Wausau. On the
front page is heading in inch type
across the whole sheet, "Scores
Dead and Missing IN Big Flood"
and following this is a dispatch
dated from Milwaukee in which the
claim is made that fears are held
that the flood will equal the great
disaster at Austin, Pa, in which
hundred lives were lost, that build
ings had been toppled over and
swept away, that the entire city
was washed out or under water,
and other information of this char
acter, concluding with the following
paragraph:
"The authorities of the Red Gross
and other rescue organizations are
endeavoring to communicate with
Wausau to learn exact conditions.
It is articles of this kind, gross
exaggeration, practiced by CORES
pondents to insure the acceptance
of their articles, and apparently I'M
rebuked by the newsgathering and
disseminating agencies, that tends
to lessen the confidence of the
public in the press.

1t is stated that no matter what
class of animal is brought to Jerez
de la Frontera, Spain, in two genera
tons it acquires remarkable tough
ness and endurance. This is attributed
partly TO the climate, but principaily
to their feeding ON rich, wild clov
er called "zulla," found only In the
province of Cadiz. which people there
say is the finest food In the worIc
for horses.
The zulla is very rich in sustenance
and grows to three or four feet IN
height, and with more luxuriance IL
cha;ky, clayey soil, such as is found
here In the vineyards which produce
the famous Jerez wine or sherry. Ii
is never sown or cultivated, as Ii
seems to grow best wild.

Gov. WILSON has been the choice
of the New York World for the
presidency from the time candidates
were first brought forward for the
contest of 1912. In giving its rea-
sons for the support of Gov. Wilson
the World makes the following
statement, which is good enough
for any voter to subscribe to:
9He has proved his political cour-
age and his fearlessness. He has
proved himself sound on tariff re-
form. He has proved himself sound
on the Sherman law. He has
proved himself sound on corpora
ton control. He has proved him
self sound on trust prosecutions and
personal guilt. He has proved him
self sound against government by
Wall street plutocracy. He has
proved himself sound on the indie
pendence of the judiciary. He has
proved himself sound on the funda-
mental principles of constitutional
government. He has proved that
he is instinctively and temperament
ally a Democrat. He has proved
himself a free man who cannot be
bulldozed by bosses or influenced
against his convictions even by his
personal friends. That is the sort
of man who ought to be President. "

HAD Senator Paul Hastings been
up in this country the past few
weeks, he would not think that a
water power turned wheels that
gound out money for its owners.
The fact is that the power is as
likely to be money loser. Every
water power on the Wisconsin river,
and every other creek or river,
where it can be used, should be i'm
proved to help in building up our
state, but the question is who has
the money and the courage to make
the investment when laws are being
passed by the state to confscate
these powers about the time they
may become remunerative b? The
late floods have worked untold dam
age to the water powers on the
river. We need those powers still
such men as Hastings, would, if they
could, destroy every water power
and let our cities GO back into vii

THE democrats throughout the
country are sanguine that every
day brings stronger assurances of
victory for them in November.
There is no bridging the wide chasm
between the progressive and stand
pat republicans. Roosevelt is backed
by unlimited means, furnished by
the Steel Trust, which is even more
powerful than the Standard Oil
Trust, and he will make showing
enough to defeat Taft, who has made
failure of his first presidential

Afm of the Democratic Parry.

The words of Congressman Red
field outlining the policy of the dem
ocratic party, are worth remember
ing:
1--WE would replace protection
with self-help, childhood with man
hood, shackles with freedom. Our
industries will never be as strong
and sturdy as they ought till they
become self-reliant. For such self
reliance the democratic party hopes,
and hopes with the strong conf
dence of a friend and not with the
sinister design of foe. !"

CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE.

Saturday was the last day in which
candidates for Office had in which TO
lille their nomination papers with the
county clerk, if they desired to have
their names printed on the official
primary ballots.
Ihefe does not appear to be very
much or y scramble for places on the
republican ticket for some reason. the
only office for which there is any con-
test by members of that party being
for sheriff, for which there are two
candidates, f. E. Schroeder of Wau-
sau, and Louis Klumb of Stratford.
Among the democrats however.
there is warm scramble going on
Tor nominations, there being three
candidates for assemblyman from the
nrst district, three for county clerk.
four for sheriff, two for register of
deeds and three for district ATTORNEY.
The number who are willing to of
Ter themselves for candidates of the
democratic ticket, as compared with
those on the republican ticket, would
indicate that the local democrats are
more sanguine of success this fall
than are the republicans, for when
the outlook is good it is not generally
very difficult to get candidates.

(From Wednesdays DailyJ

One hundred entries have been
made in the corn contest and exhibit
of the Mahaska County Farmers In
stitute and Short Course. 1t is the
largest and the best corn exhibit ever
seen in the county and in the face OF
the conditions that existed in the
county last season with the lack OF
moisture, intense heat, etc, it is a
somewhat remarkable showing. A
total of one hundred and twenty peo-
pie have made entries in the insti.
tute. This Is not so great number
as the entries of several of the years
when the show was made in connec.
ton with the Farmers Institute. but
it is the greatest number of entries
since the show was changed from the
Institute to the Short Course dates.
Many people this season misunder'
stood the dates of the exhibit, sup.
posing that the show was to be made
OH the Institute dates, February Ia
and IS, and had planned upon making
entries for those dates. TWO days,
however, is not enough for the plac'
ing and Judging of exhibits, hence
the change to the week of the Short
Course for the show. The exhibits
will remain at the Schee building on
High avenue West until Saturday
evening, when the Short Course work
will be concluded.
Entry numbers since 1904 are as
follows, making an interesting record:
