F. KUEHNLE
AT MuSCATINE
Delivers Principal Address at German
Day Celebration in Muscatine on
October 9Th.
MOST STIRRING EVENT OF DA,
Relates the Many Struggles Incident
to the Establishing Of German
Colony in America.

The "Muscatine Journal gives an
Interesting account of the German Day
Exercises at Muscatine on October 6
Among the speakers were Congress-
man ]. S. Pepper Of the Second Iowa
District and Mr.. Carl F. Kuchnle. Of
Denison. We quote from the Jo'lrna;
as follows:
Hon. Carl F. Kuehnle, banker, law
yer, educator, a self-made man and
one of the most prominent German
Americans in Iowa, delivered an ad'
dress that was one of the most stir
ring of an afternoon replete with
splendid addresses.
+ His father was an exile as a result
of the Revolution of 1S4S. Mr.. Kueh
nile related the struggles incident to
the establishing Of a German colony
in this country. October 9Th is the an
niversary of the landing of the first
German emigrants in America. Oct
ober 6, 1888, upon the 2O0th annivers
airy of the landing of the first &c rman
emigrants, the first public celebration
of this momentous occasion was ap
propriately celebrated at Philadelphia
and German day was then and there
formally christened. 1t has annually
been celebrated throughout America
since that by the Germans.
This day is the anniversary of ar
event of significant Importance to the
United States. Had the emigrations
continued in as small numbers only
as during the period from 1888 tc
1920, and even later, the day would
not be as important from an Ameri
can standpoint as it is at present. But
when we take into consideration the
fact that between 1920 and 1880 over
100000 of Germans have left their
fatherland and come to the United

DakOtaland, DakOtaland.
If there is one man in the country
whose support of progressive princi-
pies is above suspicion, it is Robert
M. LaFollette, of Wisconsin. His ad-
vocacy of progressive ideas has been
so consistent and permanent that no
one now questions his sincerity and
his motive. He has been leader in
the field for many years, and knows,
perhaps, better than any other per-
son, what has been accomplished and
how it has been done. AS an expert
point, he must be considered the best
qualified witness to give an opinion
and when he speaks his opinion is en-
titled to the profound respect of all
who are seeking light upon the sub
ject. He was in close touch with
the Roosevelt administration, up un-
til it's close, and if any one knows
where Roosevelt stood during all the
time he was president and what rela-
ton he sustained with the progressive
cause, Senator LaFollette knows. If
the analysis Senator LaFollette makes
of Roosevelt's relation with progress
ivism is true, then it must be conced-
ed that the progressive republicans
0e h1 rfrxy hov al
they were accomplishing for
progressivism and have taken up with
a hopeless cause and are being
grievously misled. This is what Sen
ator LaFollette says in part:
"The Roosevelt administration came
to close on March 4, 1909, without
leaving to it's credit definite pro-
gressive national movement with a
clearly definite body of issues. On the
Gath of March, 1909, Roosevelt sailed
to Africa. He was absent from the
country until June, 1910. In that peri
cd, under the administration of Pres
ident Taft, the progressive republican
movement made greater Roadway than
during the entire Roosevelt admins
tration. This was largely due to the
fact that Taft's course was the more
direct, Roosevelts the more devious.
Openly denouncing trusts and combi-
nations Roosevelt made concessions
and compromises which tremendous
ly strengthened these special inter-
ests. Thus Roosevelt smeared the is
sue, but caught the imagination of
the younger men Of the country by his
dash and mock heroics. Taft coop
Grated with Cannon and Aldrich on
legislation. Roosevelt co-operated
with Aldrich and Cannon on legisla-
ton. Neither president took issue
with the reactionary bosses of the
senate upon any legislation of nation
al Importance. Taft's talk was gen.
|erally in line with his legislative pol
icy. Roosevelt's talk was generally
at rigth angles to his legislative pol
icy. Taft's messages were the more
Roosevelt's the more
progressive. But adhering to his
conception of a square DEAL his
strongest declarations in the public
interest were invariably Offset with
something comforting for privilege;
every phase denouncing bad trust

WILSON ADHERANT. WINS
Former Representative Hughes In
dorsed in New Jersey.

Returns from the primary elections
held throughout New Jersey show
that former Representative William
Hughes, of Paterson, had received the
endorsement of 10000 majority or
the Democratic voters for the NOM
nation for U. S. senator With a few
exceptions the returns seemed to JUS
tify the conclusion that Hughes car
ried the various counties by from
two to three times the vote cast for
former United States Senator Smith,
Jr., his principal Democratic antagon-
ist Hughes was running as the
picked candidate of Gov. Wilson and
Smith was allied with the anti-Wilson
forces throughout the state.
The vote for the third Democratic
candidate, Frank II. McDermitt, Of
Newark, was negligible quantity, as
his candidacy was never taken Sc
riously.
The Republican preferential vote
was cast almost unanimously for
United States Senator Frank o.
Briggs, the only member of his party
to file a petition.

-FOUR BEATEN TO DEATH
Robbers Burn illinois Farm
House to Conceal Crime.

Hammered to death with clubs and
their bodies then burned to obliterate
traces of slaughter, was the fate of
four persons whose charred remains
were found in the ruins of the Plan
schmidt farmhouse near PaysOn, six
teen miles southeast of Quincy, Ill.
The dead are: G. A. Pfanschmidt,
owner of the place; Mrs. Planschmidt,
Blanche, the fifteen-year-old daughter
of the Pfanschmidts, and Miss Emma
Kaempen, a school teacher who board
ed in the Pfanschmidt home.
Robbery, obviously was the motive
for the quadruple murder and incinera-
ton, for it was generally understood
that Pfanschmidt kept large sums of
money in his home.
The sheriff of Adams county, with
posse of deputies led by pack of keen
trailer bloodhounds, is searching the
countryside for the mruderers.
Hundreds of neighbors of the i'll
fated family are also searching, and
the cry for summary vengeance as
soon as the murderers are captured
sounds ominOusly throughout the
Payson neighbOrhood.
That there is no doubt of murder is
evidenced by the fact that, while the
bodies of the victims are charred al
most beyond recognition, the head of
Miss Kaempen is well preserved, and
at the top of the skull is a fearful
wound, evidently made with a club.

REPUBLICANS OF new
YORK NAME A TICKET
Spirited Convention Contests
Over Three Offices.
Senator Elihu Root Places Seal Of
Approval on What He Says Is
"Healthy and Whole
some Ticket"

The Republican state convention at
Saratoga, N. Y, nominated the follow
ing candidates for state Offices:
For Governor - Job E. Hedges of
New York county.
Lieutenant Governor - James W.
Wadsworth, Jr., of Livingston.
Secretary of State-Francis M.
Hugo of Jefferson.
William D. Cunning
ham of Ulster.
State William Archer of
Westchester.
Attorney General-Meier E. Stein
brink of Kings.
For State Engineer and Surveyor
Frank NJ. Williams of Orange.
Associate Judge of the Court of Ap-
peals-Frank H. Hiscock of Onondaga,
now a supreme court justice for the
Fifth judicial district.
Session Eight Hours Long.
The convention was in session eight
hours. There were spirited contests
over the nominations for governor,
comptroller and attorney general. Sen
atOr Root before leaving for New York
said:
at is a healthy and wholesome tick
ct. 1t is d ticket nominated by the
delegates themselves. 1t would have
been a most cruel and wicked thing
for any man here to have attempted
to Illustrate the ambitions of the
three candidates for governor who
presented themselves to the people.
It would have stifled ambition, it
would have choked natural aspiration
for any Republican here to have at
tempted to set aside either Mr..
Hedges, Mr. Wadsworth or Mr.. Ben
nett. Judge Hedges will make an ex-
cellent candidate for governor"
Underground Operations Fail.
Permanent Chairman Bracket had
no more got the convention under way
in the morning when word came
through the delegations that there was
a colored gentleman in the woOdpile,
and, after Hedges and Wadsworth and
Bennett had worn themselves out in
the ballots, this behind the door"
candidate was to appear. But, as
things worked out, it appeared that
such negotiations were disappointing.
