BRYAN ENDORSES 0KAREL.

William Jennings Bryan gave the strongest posi-
BILE endorsement to Judge John G. Karel and the
other nominees the democratic state ticket when
the great commoner spoke at a democratic mass
meeting in Milwaukee on Saturday A thunderous
burst of applause rang out from the great throng
when Mr.. Bryan placed his stamp of approval upon
the democratic state ticket. Mr.. Bryan spoke as
follows; My object primarily in travelling over
the country is to make more certain the certainty
of democratic president toward making his choice
unanimous. In every state our fight depends large
ly on the work done by the state organization and
the state candidates They bear the burden of the
campaign If we carry the state we are largely in
debted to them.
"If the victory we hope to win is worth fighting
for it is worth paying for, and know of no way in
which the people who are to be emancipated from
the control of Wall street better show their ap-
probation than to the state candidates, and know
of no better way in which can show our graft
tude and appreciation better than to support the
state ticket. urge this in every state and now
bespeak for the state ticket from Judge Karel down.

BUGABOOS.

The republican political campaign has reached
the bugaboo stage. Having totally failed to cone
vince the voters with their cap-trap the organs and
spell binders are trying to scare them. Congress
man McKinlay tried to convince them by showing
how helpless we are before other nations. One hun
dred millions of people occupying one of the largest
areas of productive territory on the globe stand
shivering before all nations of any size and power.
The Cinnamon ten thousand miles away, the little
Japs, the Russians Germans French, English, will
wipe us off the map if We should lower the tariff.
The picture is appalling if you believe the tomyrot.
The tariff is the greatest scheme of egalized graft
the world ever saw 1t is intended to rob the many
for the benefit of the few They tell you it helps
the laboring men, Look at the conditions revealed
at Lawrence, in the steel mills the mines Hun
dreds of thousands of workers in the protected in
dustries have less of the necessities of life than did
the negroes the plantations Of the South before
the war. Armies of laborers are working in death
traps because the greedy protected owners will not
provide safety appliances
There is no tariff to protect the American laborer
against incoming laborers to compete with them.
There is free trade in labor for the benefit of the
employer but free trade in the necessities of life
for the aborer The cry of pancs and free trade is
bugaboo to protect the tariff graft.

DEMOCRATS ARE UNITED.

In an interesting editorial on the harmony that
prevails in the Wisconsin democracy the Madison
Democrat says
The Mineral Point Democrat, one of the most
honoraby edited weekies in all Wisconsin is Just as
squarely for Judge Karl for Governor now as it was
favorable to Mr.. Schmitz before the primary.
"All over the state other democratic papers that
opposed Judge Karel before his nomidation-rather,
that chose to be partisan toward Schmitz, have
fallen into line in frank aud friendly spirit ndicat-
ing harmony within the party that is almost en-
tirely unbroken. In the roster of regular demo
cratic newspapers of the state there is absolutely
division far as we know.
Not in many years has there been such harmony
in the democratic press and never greater hope in
the ranks of the party.
AT this stage of the contest no result seems
more assured than great victory in Wisconsin not
less for Kare than for Wilson. The fidelity to party
and to principle of the Crawfords at Mineral Point
is but indication of the prevailing spirit through
out the state. Democratic unity is only equalled
by republican discord. Revolution and reform are
at hand"

And President Taft said Roosevelt is not a

Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin, also a repub-

truth about each other. And La Toilette has had
enough experience with both Messrs. Taft and
Roosevelt to know what he is talking about.

AMERICANS TAXED

Enormous Dividends of Thread
Trust Go Abroad.

Cotton thread pays an import duty
equivalent to AZ per cent This tariff
WAS levied originally to build up an
infant industry" in America and pro-
tect American capital. 1t happens,
however, that practically all the CAPT
tai in the thread industry in the Uni
ted States is foreign capital. and that
the dividends Of the thread trust are
nearly all sent abroad.
The American Thread company, in
corporated In New Jersey in 1898. has
$16,290,475 of capital. and its net prof
it's in 1910 were s2.i41,s44. Lyman

On the other hand, after the Dem
ocratic revision had gone into effect in
1894 the number of failures fell to
$4,000, and the araount involved fell
to 100000, or less than half. In
1895 the number of failures was near
ly 1000 less, and the amount involved
remained about half. There were more
failures than this in 1911 under Taft

Mr. Wanamaker Is silent regarding
the Republican panics of 1873 and
1907.
In view of the facts, then, is Mr..
Wananaker justified in his appeal?
Do not the facts prove quite the op-
posite Of his contention?
There is another matter, in my opin-
ion very important, for US as business
men to keep in mind, and that is the
bearing of the coming election upon
the development of a better basis of
credit. The Republican tariff and Re
publican policies have fostered great
concentrations of capital In monopo-
lies and trusts.
Upon this great question also Gov
ernor Wilson is entitled to our sup
port. Mr.. Roosevelt favors the recog-
milton of monopolies as inevitable. and
this is logical, as he favors a con-
trolled continuation of the conditions
under which they have developed. Mr..
Taft is against monopoly, but he is for
a continuation of the laws which have
brought them into being. Governor
Wilson, alone of the candidates. has
taken a consistent position for the
preservation of the individual In the
business world, he alone of the candi-
dates is pledged to legislation which
will prevent such financial confeder-
acies as now control the business and
credit of the nation.
Therefore. being convinced that
prosperity now awaits only stable con-
ditions and proper basis of credit,
l am firmly of the opinion that we, as
business men, should work and vote
for Governor Wilson.

GEN. GRANTS SON
is FOR WILSON
In Open Letter He Says Issues
This Year Are Similar to
Those of 1860.
PRINCIPLES FATHER GPHELD
Same Problem Today, Writes Jesse r.
Grant, In Choosing Between People
and the Interests.

Jesse R. Grant, son of General Ulys-
ses S. Grant. commander in chief of
the Union army in the Civil war and
Repu blican president of the United
States from 1869 to 1877, links the
generation of war veterans and the
young voters of today in the follow
ing appeal, made public by him at his
home in New York:
To the Voter, Especially the New
Voter:
We are facing the 5tE of November
issues of momentous Importance to
the future of the United States. Shall
the old order of things continue? Shall
our economic life be determined-shall
our government continue to be domi-
mated by the thoughts, the desires and
the interests of those who have been
the principal beneiciaries of that gov
ernment's patronage or shall the pow
er of government be handed back to
the whole people to be administered
for their common good?
1t was similar issue fifty-two years
ago, when there arose from out of I'LL
nois a new leader, who held human
rights to be greater than property
rights, whose thoughts were not the
old thoughts, whose vision of justice
had not been clouded by association
with the ruling interests.
We are at the threshold of a new
period of transition. Shall the door be
blocked by men who cannot see ahead?
Shall we elect to follow men who,
while clothed with official power, nur-
tured privilege and fostered monopoly
and who now propose nothing better
than to legalize and regulate monopo-
ly and make us live under 1t the rest
Of our lives?
The New Leader.
Or shall we call to leadership a new
man from the outside, from the ranks
of the people, in sympathy with their
lives and their ideals, holding their
viewpoint, consecrated to their serv-
ice? Such man Is Woodrow Wilson.
AS son of the soldier who fought
to uphold the principles for which
Abraham Lincoln stood and as a son
of Republican president, / can see
only one duty for myself-to give
heartily my influence and my vote for
principle and not fo- the name Of a
party long since divorced from It's
sympathy for the common man.
Verify, | believe that the principles
for which Woodrow Wilson Is fighting
are the principles for which my father
fought, and that he alone among the
presidential candidates measures up to
the standards of courage, conscience
and capacity of the leader whose hand
my father helped to uphold.
Old voters, as we'll as new, beg of
you not to be deceived by names and
prejudices. Open your minds to the
truth and vote in its light.
