WHY NOT ELECT
WOODROW WILSON
Chicago Post, Influential Repub-
IIcan Paper, Asks Its Read.
ers a Leading Question.
FRAUDS OF PRESENT REGIME
SAYS the Tariff Has Been Too hloh
for a Generation, and Must BE Low
cred. IT,

The Chicago Post, an influential in
dependent Republican newspaper, pro'
pounds this question to Republicans:
why not Wilson?
This question is addressed particu-
Iarly to Republicans.
Governor Wilson suits the Demo
Gratis down to the ground, suits all
Democrats who are worthy to be call
ed Democrats. But in an emergency
like this, why should not Wilson suit
a large part of the Republicans as
well3 81 :, ,....e,
"Why not Wilson? ia
Governor Wilson is a thoroughbred
American gentleman, not only in the
accident of birth, but in his every
ideal, impulse and principle. That
should be the first requirement OF ev.
cry presidential candidate.
Governor Wilson is tried and
trustwSrthy executive. His brilliant
record as governor Of New Jersey
proves that. ss
Governor Wilson is an eminently
sane and sensible man. He is an emf
nently honorable, man. He has digni'
fed every place which he has held.
He has performed a splendid public
service by lifting the present cam
paign out of the riot of mudslinging
with which Roosevelt began it.
I'm every personal characteristic,
Governor Wilson is equipped to be
any mans president without regard
to whether that man is Democrat or
a Republican. What, then, Of his po-
litical qualifications?
Governor Wilson u.s. and always has
been, a sensible Democrat, but he 10
not and never has been silly, violent
partisan.
Governor Wilson stands for honesty
and efficiency in federal administra-
ton. So do all save those who profit
by graft and ineficiency.
Governor Wilson stands for the
curling of trusts and monopolies. So
do all, except monopolists and their de-
fender, Theodore Roosevelt.
Governor Wilson stands for a
prompt ana SIeduy uOWuWdTu IeVlSlOu
of the tariff. So do nine-tenths of the
people of the United States.
Governor Wilson believes III more
radical tariff revision than do large
number of the rank and file of Re-
publicans. But Governor Wilson is
the only candidate who if elected will
permit the revision of the tariff at all.
The tariff has been to high for a
generation Is it not better to take a
chance at getting it too low-acsordipg
to Republican Standardization to let
the known frauds of the present re-
gime continue for another four years
to rob the public?
why not Wilson? He will give an
honest, a dignified, capable admins
tration. He will respect the constitu-
ton. He will see that the tariff is re-
vised downward. He will curb trusts.
He will serve the people.
Why not Wilson,"

Will Carleton Proves
Delight To Big Audience

Will Carleton. Michigans famous
bard, delighted large audience with
readings from his poems--still among
the best sellers-in the North Wood-
ward Methodist church, Tuesday night
and linked such quaint, well-remem-
bered verses as Uncle Mates Flu
neral" and The Travelled Parson''
with sparkling wit and homely phil
osophy.
In closing, the poet-lecturer paid an
earnest tribute TO Michigan, the scene
OF his earliest adventures in liters-
ture, and on the lecture platform.
Carleton was born near Hudson,
Mich, and found the inspiration for
the deathless characters In his Farm
Ballads in the rural section OF west
ern Lenawee, where the Carleton
homestead still stands, and in the vii.
lage near by. He has accomplished
in verse what Dickens achieved in
prose-given the world graphic, heart
touching pictures of average folk that
compel, alternately, our laughter aud
tears.
Mr.. Carleton's program was inter
spersed with music by w. ID. Rock
well, tenor; Henry II. Fuller. organ.
list, and Miss Alice Fuller, pianist. An
informal reception for Mr. Carleton
was held at the close, and many took
the opportunity to express to the poet
appreciation of his work and the
pleasure the evening had give nthem.

election which would hold up all re

America, IL looks to me as though
Wisconsin and Ohio will be your next
states TO extend suffrage to women.
When told that the Michigan legis

was TO come up, and when Informed
that IL was not, she said she thought
the women OF Michigan were overlook

she spoke in Detroit, Sunday after
noon. she would urge women very
strongly to take such action.
Enemies of woman suffrage are II

Miss Pankhurst There are those
who have a contempt for women, and
therefore. claim the sex is not At tC

tempt for government, oppose the bal
lot for women. Others are Indifferent
to this as to all public questions and
others are too lazy to inform them
selves
IL Is a generally accepted fact tina,
the son inherits most of his mothers
traits and yet these same sons deny
their own mothers the rights they
themselves exercise. Women pay tax
es and obey the laws just the same as
men. Why should not they be Above
to make the laws when they have to
obey them? Women waseearners are
increasing every day, and yet they are
not permitted voice in government

Miss Pankhurst has facts and fig

to the manner in which women ali
over the world have taken advantage
OF the ballot when 1t has been given
them. which goes TO disprove the
favorite argument of the ''antis" that
women do not want the ballot and
will not use 1t IL given to them.

local application. This part Of the

and sololSts,---
Moving pictures. magic and ventrilo-
quism were provided for the olio.
Claude w. Pike was the ventriloquist
and magician, and his work pleased
immensely.
The second part, representing the
office OF hotel, sparkled with COM
edy. the operation OF make-believe
elevator being one of the amusing
features. A bmlesQue band also fur
nished amusement. The management
Of this section Of the performance was
in the hands of Hall Cowans
