Roosevelt Shot.

Monday night while Ex-President
Roosevelt was leaving his hotel in
Milwaukee in an automobile for the
hall where he was to speak he was
shot by John Schrank, a Baravian
from New York, The assailant was
knocked down by RooSevelt's ste
nographer and hurried off to the
police station to prevent him being
lynched.
After the shooting Roosevelt went
to the hall and spoke for more than
an hour. The prisoner is believed
to be sane and will be tried after
the election. The wound is more
than a flesh wound and Roosevelt
will have to be quiet for several
days. Physicians say he has SO

the time or disposition to talk about himself.

great man Wilson is They do know all he has DONE
They do understand all the features of his platform

To educate this great nation Of voters especially the
clear thinking Independent Democrats Republicans and
Progressves who choose their leader his merits
the expenditure of amount of money.
We propose to use your dollars in just this way

necessary item.

Why the Dollar Counts

In this campaign the issues lie between the forces of
Representative Government and Popular Government.
In Representative Government only part of the people
have influence those with political faith, who spend
fortunes in any direction where their ends fur
thered for money.
In Popular Government all the people have influence,
because their executives and legislators do dare
thwart the expressed will of the people.
Representative Government ever. this year is being
supported by the money of the Interests lts being spent
avshy give the wrong impression of Wilson.
Popular Government this year win, depend the
truth being told about Wilson, We must publish his record
and platform broadcast that controvert it,
Q Your 81 your s2 your S. your $40 800 will and
cunt win if spent in this work.
