MIXED WISCONSIN POLITICS

According TO the following from
the democratic national committee.
politics in Wisconsin are very
badly mixed:
That politics in Wisconsin are in
a topsy-turvy condition with all
traditions shattered and thrown to
the winds. is well illustrated by
the position of T. M. Thomas of
Ladysmith, Wisconsin. a republican
elector for the 1lth Congressional
district. Like all other electors
chosen in this state at the pri-
maries Mr.. Thomas has teen
besought with requests from all
parts of the state that he declare :
himself as to what attitude he will
take if elected. In response to
these demands Mr.. Thomas has
given out the following remark
able statement:

Humor Of Artemus Ward.

VI
Some years ago the real scream In
exclamation was Artemus Ward. Our
fathers were wont to read the with
cisms Of this great humorist and
laugh till the tears ran down their
cheeks. AS an example OF how funny
Artemus could be when he tried, take
this extract from his letter on Jefrer-
son Davis, president Of the Confeder-
acy, alleged to have been written In
Richmond: .. .
"Jen. Davis Is not popular here.
She Is regarded as q southern SYM
pathiser, G. yit I'm told he was kind
TO his parents. She ran away from

back. This was shown 'em a good

what his conduck has been. Her oap-

OF him as her and as frequent as other

THE UNITED STATES SENATE

The democratic national commit
tee is making a determined effort
to elect enough democratic
senators this fall to control the
United States senate. 1t only
requires the capture of seven seats
now held by republicans to give
the democrats the control of the
senate. There is now a vacancy
in Colorado, caused by the failure
of the legislature to elect sue
cesor to Senator Hughes. Senator
Guggenheim's term expires on
March 4th, and the democrats are
pretty sure tn capture both of
Colorado's senators. This reduces
the number necessary to- control
the senate to FIVE.
These FIVE must come from
Nevada. Oregon, Montana.
Wyoming, Nebraska. Iowa, Kansas.
Illinois. New Jersey, Delaware,
massachusetts,, South Dakota,
Idaho, Minnesota and Michigan.
In all these states there are three
or four candidates in the field and
the prospects are bright in some of
them for democratic success. The
republicans are divided into
factions, while the democrats are
united. With these prospects of
democratic control of the executive
and legislative departments of the
government, will the democrats Of
Nevada be false to their party and
send a republican to represent
them in the senate? The surcess
of President Wilson's adsinistra-
tion will depend upon congress.
If either branch Of that body is re-
publican it will oppose President
Wilson's policies and he will be
unable to accomplish any of the
great reforms put forth in the
Baltimore platform. The house
will remain safely democratic and
the senate must he made so.
Nevada democrats should have a
part in the victory all along the
line. s3The stakes in this contest
are too important to permit
personal friendship 10 outweigh
party duty. Let Us stick to our
p .rty sprincipIes and cast our
ballots, for Key Pittman, our able,
fearless nominee for United State
senator. He has the courage of
his convictions and he ability to
accomplish great good for the
state. A vote for Pittman will be
vote for democratic principles
and democratic policies. Stand by
him as he is standing by you.

from President Taft 8 secretary in
Beverly, Massachusetts, that the Pres
ident is preparing to call special ses-

The President, it is understood, is
to place before congress, probably this
coming week, the record of an accumu-
lation of outrages against citizens of
the United States and other foreign
residents in Mexico, and of the trou-
bles in the Southern Republic caleu-

action.
A report of communications from
foreign powers has also been prepared
by the State department. which pro-
jects the contention that if the United
States dees not act, foreign nations
! must be permitted, and will act, in
their own defense and interest.
Without going into the motives of
the administration for such step at
this time, it is conceded by all that if
congress does authorize Intervention, it
will change the entire political hori-
ION. 1t is pointed out that q war adj
ministration has never been turned out
of power by the voters, on the prinei-
pie that it is bad policy to 'strade

In addition to the known significant
facts, telegram has been seen here in
which Senator Dick of Ohio, who is
now in Chicago, is reported to have
told c. T. Fowler of New Jersey that
SPECIAL session of congress would be
called by President Taft next week.
Senator Dick is quoted as saying that
the President will present information
to congress that has been suppressed,
and which is, of such a nature that war
will result with Mexico. Senator Dick
is at the head of the National Guard
of Ohio and admitted that he had been
preparing to go to war for some time.
The state department is admittedly
exerting great pressure on President
Mauelo OF Mexico by placing before
him the catalogue of crimes of the rev.
olutionists against citizens of the Unit
ed States and their property Added
to this is an appalling number of cur
