Why Not Wilson?

The Chicago Post Ian Independent
Depublicanl, propounds this question
to Republicans:
why not Wilson?
This question Is addressed particu-
larry to Republicans.
Governor Wilson suits the Demo
Gratis down to the ground, suits all
Democrats who are worthy to be calf
ed Democrats. But in an emergency
like this, why should not Wilson suit
large part of the Republicans as
well?
why not Wilson?
Governor Wilson Ia thoroughbred
American gentleman not only In the
accident of birth, but In his every
ideal, impulse and principle. That
should be the first requirement o!
every presidential; candidate.
Governor Wilson Is a tried and
Trustworthy executive. His brilliant
record as governor of New Jersey
proves that
Governor Wilson Is an eminentlY
sane and sensible man. He Is an
eminently honorable ma. He has dig
nified every place which he has held.
He has performed splendid public
service by lifting the present cam
paign out Of the riot OF mudslinging
with which Roosevelt began It. Q
In every personal characteristic,
Governor Wilson Is equipped to be
any mans president. without regard
to whether that man is q Democrat
or Republican. What, then, OF his
political qualifications?
Governor Wilson is and always has
been a sensible Democrat, but he Is
not and never has been q silly, violent
partisan.
Governor Wilson stands for hon.
esty anc efficiency In federal admins
tration. SO do all save those who
profit by graft and ineflciency.
Governor Wilson stands for the
curbing OF trusts and monopolies. So
do all, except monopolists and their
defender, Theodore Roosevelt.
Governor Wilson stands for a
prompt and steady downward revision
OF the tariff. So do nine-tentifs Of the
people OF the United States.
Governor Wilson believes In a
more radical tariff revision than do a
large number of the rank and file or
Republicans. But Governor Wilson Is

To the Editor OF The Times:
While We will admit that there has
been great deal said In this cam

OF the men connected with the great
monopolies, IL will do good to say
more, especially on one side or the
question which seems 10 be neglected

about the evil influences likely TO be

The greater additional evil large con-
tributions tor thousand evils In

complished in bringing out undesir-
able candidates, buying votes, stuffins

trlbutions ordinarily meet only the

and the large contributions meet the

Republican party was in favor of his

Folks put it down to laziness, but they
misjudged him, as come out later, yet
he never let on.
Then one day he got his hands on
a paper that had come acrost in q
ship from England. All at once, he
lit on something in the paper. and he
started up and let out yell like he'd
been shot. BY gum, I'm the Earl OF

Bob Yanex Find. Himself.

Bob Yaney Finds Himself.

eyes slid open. For a moment he
struggled with the odds and ends OF
memory, then he recalled the fight at
the tavern. the sudden murdsrous at

ended the struggle. Therefore. the
bandages that now swathed his head

Suddenly shadow fell obliquely

and Cavendish, bending his long body
somewhat, thrust his head in at the

into a pair of eyes that for the first
time in many long day held the
light of consciousness.

manded, In a soft drawl.

did everything in his power to re-
lieve her suffering. He supplied her
with appetizing food and at the risk Of
his life delivered messages to her
friends. During the long siege Of her
trial he faithfully served her in every
manner. and when the Inquisition fnal-
ly condemned her to death at the
stake he was heart-broken. The bish-
op Of Beauvais ordered her Bible and
rosary to be destroyed, denying her
the consolation Of religion, so far az
his power extended. Crushed and hui
inflated, she awaited her terrifying
fate. The keeper, at her request, pro-
cured rosary from a sympathetic
priest who was powerless to aid the
maid. She was quite overcome by
the keepers devotion, and blessed him
many times.
Finally, the day set for the awful
event arrived and the innocent VIC
tim Of superstition was led forth from
her prison tower to pay the price Of
her service to Charles VII. Of France.
When the light had been applied to
the fagots and the flames rose about

relenting bishop discovered the ros-
