panic OF 1901? Didn't I nearly get
myself into trouble helping you fel-
lows out in that mining business?
Now you are taking me to task because
l gave those Kansas farmer boobs
some gun about the trusts | was go
ing to bust for them when | got back
to Washington. Then again Mr.. Coon,
and you too. Mr.. Lobe. you must re.
member | am a sympathetic public
speaker wish to please my audience
above all things. so when ! saw those
farmers earnestly pulling their crop
of chin alfalfa. and swallowing whole
every word | uttered, felt in my his
tronic heart, that they wanted trust
busting" and gave ii to them. And
dear friends, you know the only trusts
ever busted during my two terms as
president was done with hot air in the
rear of my special car. out in Emporia,
Kansas. l never busted a single trust
in any beet sugar town in the west.
Teddy wept.
Out here in the west. we take our
politics seriously, Christian duty, as
it were, so we would suggest the fol-
lowing words to the tune of popular
revival hymn, as Teddy's coming west
ern campaign song:
He's the one, the only one,
Our great trust-buster. Teddy, he's the
one
To wipe the trusts away,
Only Teddy, knows the way
| If you ask who captured Scuba? He's
the one.
In the east, there is nothing sacred
about politics. There it takes money
or beer to get votes, so their Teddy's
campaign song must be of the Little
Brown jug style, something like this
Ha! Hal Ha! you and me,
Teddy is our man, you see.
You never saw a trust, that Teddy
bust;
That you ever will, is not likely
He gave us U. s. cash, when times
were slack;
So well dig up cash to send him back,
Some irreverent cuss, in recent
daily, suggests that Teddy's whole U.
s. over campaign song should be.
You're liar, You're liar You're
| liar, BY Godfrey
BY Godfrey! You're liar, You're a
liar. You're liar"
To be repeated as long as the audi
ence viii stand for it.

A BETTER BALLOT.

Voting in Milwaukee is condition,
not theory. There is some,
thing wrong with system that most
citizens condemn and it is the part of
wisdom to look for remedy ,-Milwau-
kee journal.
The ballot certainly ought to be re-
formed. 1t ought to be made more
simple, And to do this two things
must needs be done ut the outset: the
party circle must be removed from the
head Of the ticket, and the machines
must be discarded.
AT the special session of tho legisla
ture in December, 1908, AssembIyman
Ernest ~ Warner introduced bill pro
viding for the Massachusetts form of
ballot, II WAS an excellent measure,
and should have become law. 1t was
supported by Governor LaFollete; but
was opposed and defeated by tory log
islators, rs was also, at that time, the
second provision of the primary law.
The Massachusetts ballot is yer,
much the same AS the Cooper ballot
which the people of Wisconsin used il
1890; bnt which, unfortunately, at tn,
Legislative session OF 1891, before it hat
been given fair trial, was rejected fo,
the present cumbersome blanket ballot
Ballot reformers ought TO get togethe,
and demand the adoption of the Massa
chusetts ballot.

The primary system should be adopt
ed wherever it has not yet been and
should be extended to presidential con
tests. Provision should be made for
the expression of second choice at the
primaries W. j. Bryan in The Com
mOner.
Here in Wisconsin, where the pri :
mary system, with second choice
provision, has been enacted into law,
some men calling themselves democrats
revile the law, and especially the sec
ond choice provision of the law AS

torial timber, and 1914 may be an op.
perfume time to place him in nomina
ton. But he has important work to do
more closely at hand. His record in
the legislature fairly entities him to
democratic leadership. Standing for
he kind Of democracy for which Sena.
tor Husting stands, and doing good
team work to promote the public wei j..
fare, the democratic members of the
legislature can at the coming session of
1918 well serve their party and their
state.
AS wise leadership in congress has
strengthened the democratic party in
the nation SO can wise leadership in the
Legislature strengthen the party in the
State.

BE TRUE TO NAME

In concluding Il right good article on
the duty Of the democracy Of Wisconsin
the Darlington Democrat says
"ln the future the party in this state
must be progressive. Nine tenths OF
even larger proportion Of the voters
are progressive. If our party is to sue
coed it must show itself better pro
gressive party and more trustworthy as
an instrument Of progress than any
other party.
THAT may be be hard job, but
there IL no other way to success. 1t
must cast aside its false leaders and
align itself with the progressive
Democracy Of the nation under leaders
who can be trusted"

State Cranberry Crop Breaks
Previous Records.

That Wisconsin's cranberry crop
approximates $4,000 barrels, or the
largest Yield on record since the de-
struction of the wild vines by forest
fires, is reported by 0. G, Malde Of the
College of the University of Wisconsin.
Mr.. Made is in charge of the cram
berry experiment station at Grand
Rapids, Wisconsin, where nearly 100
barrels were raised and marketed.
Owing to the wetness of the season,
insect pests have not been bad. The
favorable fall of last year. which en-
couraged budding of the vines. was
another factor in producing this great
crop.
