STAND FIRM.

The Democrats Of Wisconsin acted
wisely and well ut the presidential pr
maries and they should now face the
issues Of the fall campaign in the same
patriotic and courageous spirit which
actuated them last spring. They ought
not to follow nor be lead by those short
sighted time serving politicians who
would have them take a backward step
on state issues az a short cut to victory.
The nation wide struggle in politics ut
this time is becoming more and more
n contest between Liberals and Tories.
True Democrats will not line up on the
Tory side.
