the Frank Htles farm at DexteryilIe,

TAFT CLUB STARTED
IN OSHKOSH

| At the organization of a Taft Club
| in Oshkosh the other evening, in it's
| account given by the Daily North
western We notice the following a.
bout what our toWnsman Geo. P Ham
brecht, had to say, as follows:
Mr.. Hambrecht deplored the alleg-
ed fact that personalities in the cam
paign have beclouded the issues thus
raN and urged that Mr. Taft S friends
I'start now to remedy this condition.
1t is due, he said, to the bigness of
the three candidates for the presi-
| dency. Each is temperamentalIy diff
| ferent and may be said to represent
a type, but the issue of the campaign
which should not be buried under
personalities, is the question of
whether or not representative gov
ernment is a failure. The country
never before was confronted with a.
graver situation, Mr.. Hambrecht CON
tended.
ISSUES, NOT PERSONALITIES.
What we must do continued the
speaker, ''is to get the issues of the
campaign before the voters and elm
mate personalities, for when all has
been said about each of the candi-
dates of the three leading parties,
there is nothing really worth while
considering in the charges, against
any of them.
Mr.. Hambrecht issued a warning
| against changing the constitution or
tampering with it, which, he said, is
the only protection a minority has
| from the tyranny of majority and
it stands for the fundamental rights
which must not be altered as minor
tiles change to majorities and vice
versa
''Striye to keep in mind, not the per
| sonalities of the three candidates, !"
| said Mr. Hambrecht, but what they
stand for. Present the question Of
change in governmental affairs as
they may be forecasted in the CAM
paigns that are being made. Keep
in your mind the thought that our
opponents are just as sincere and
honest as We are and only ask of them
that your serious contentious be &C
corded the respect and CONSIDERATION
which you concede theirs are enti-
tied to- In this way, the voters will
come to know the best judgment of
all and this is essential, for they
are the final arbiters.'
