taxes will have on local communities.
The probable effect viii be to cut off

studied the history Of the past not to
worship it, but in its light to work out
a better democracy" Mr., Crawford Of

thing there.
The Darlington Democrat: When
we come to consider the political
ethics Of attempting II combination Of
privilege. hating, justice loving, pro
gressve Democrats with privilege
seeking, favor loving men in another
party, no argument is needed to show
its iniquity, no defense can be made Of
the proposition. 1t is bad, worthy

discarded, rejected without respect.
| We do not know whether a clean,
| respectable, progressive Democratic
campaign can win in Wisconsin next
year; but we do know that the Wilson
campaign was made on that basis, and
we do know that it won in the nation
and won IN Wisconsin, Let us wage II
clean fight, gentlemen Let us be true
to the principles Of progressive Demo
Cracyl Let us take up candidates III
harmony with this kind Of campaign
Brodhead independent: The fact
that the democrats will have more than
an even show Of winning in this state
next year, gives many republicans and
all good citizens more than II passing
interest in their campaign, There are
many good progressive leaders IN the
democratic ranks in this state, but their
last campaign was not in the hands of
the progressives. President Wilson,
Mr.. Bryan and MIR, Davies have it in
their power to lead the democrats Of
this state with Il sane leadership. and it
is to be hoped that they will be sue
cessful in bringing the party to realiza-
ton Of its obligations to the state and
themselves rs well, and make it u truly
progressive party with clean progressive
candidates to be nominated.

big effort to win the next state election,
but let III make our PLATFORM Of sound
Democratic timbers, patterned after the
principles President Wilson is carrying
out with so much credit to himself and
men known to be true to those princi-
pies, remembering that past perform
ances are the best guarantees of future
achievements.
The Madison Democrat: Democratic
editors of the state who gathered in
Milwaukee II few days ago to consider
the situation had II useful and harmon
ious meeting and exhibited IN ardent
spirit to have all fractional differences
harmonized and and forgotten 1t was
recognized that President Wilson was
conducting IN administration brilliant
ly successful and most helpful to the
cause of local democracy everywhere
and that only unity of sentiment
among democrats is necessary to effect
in this state next fall what has Just
happened in New Jersey and Massa
chusetts two states usually republican
which now have gone heavily demo-
cratic.
The Hudson True Republican: One
would imagine that the one living on II
big income would be the most generous
person in the world but when it comes
to paying their income tax they Seem to
be the stingiest mortals on earth. The
rate of the Federal income tax is not
excessive, yet because it is dcmocra-
tic measure class of republican news
papers are making wild howl over it.
The Chiffon Times The Milwaukee
journal took mean way of settling
old scores with The Times editor, who
frankly acknowledges that he hash
anything on that paper now in the way
of bitterness of attack, In its issue of
Thursday its staff artist poses us in a
homely group \not group of homely)
editors, making us show up as the HON
lest of the bunch. The journal artist
apparently carried away with detail,
has incorporated too many deep lines
into our Kings County map, putting II
face on us that we would be ashamed
to take anywhere, 1t is clearly ma
licious libel and we call on The ,lourn-
al to either retract or prove it,
