AVIAN ALARnRlsr

The war bug must have stung
Congressman Gardner. His call to
arms sounds a little too hysteri-
cal to be convincing. No doubt. as
he says, we are not prepared for
war, at least not for q war of the
magnitude now convulsing Eur
ope. But there is no reason why
we should be. for we shall not
have any such war. AS a nation we
expect to continue to mind our
own business and eschew all
dreams of world CONQUEST. And hy
the time Europe is through with
its present era of blood-letting no
European power will be in mood
or condition to cause us trouble
for many years to come. Our
only danger point is our Philip
pine possessions. with which we
should never have been encum-
bered and which we intend to rid
ourselves of at an early date. The
only war preparation we need is
an army and navy adequate for
defense. and that we have, or very
nearly so. Congressman James
Hay. chairman of the House Mill
tary Affairs committee. is author
ity for the statement that reserve
army equipment of rifles. field ar
tillery and ammunition are being
manufactured rapidly, and within
five years this reserve strength
will reach the figures recommend
ed by the War Department ex-
sperts.
Our best defense against the
enroachment of any enemy is our
geographical position. With an
ocean on each side of us and no
first class power on the same con-
tinent to oppose us. our position
is nearly impregnable. So long as
we do not seek Guarrels we are
not likely to be disturbed. Our
ports are we'll guarded; our navy.
while not the largest in the world.
is adequate for defensive pur-
poses; our army is big enough to
repel any force of invaders prac-
ticable to transport across seas
at one time, and a million able
bodied men can be called from
fields and factories. stores and Of
fees to augment the army when
ever they are needed for defensive
purposes.
y This nation will never, wage a
war of aggression: hence we have
no need for an enormous standing
army. Our regular army numbers
100000 men and the national
guard 100 900 more. There may be
merit in the suggestion Of Major
General Leonard Wood that this
very respectable nucleus of vast
military force be augmented by
well-drilled reserve along tho
lines of the Swiss system. but the
American people will not take
kindly to anything in the nature
of compulsory military service or
the establishment of vast stand
ing army. The lesson of Europe's
excessive preparedness for war is
fresh in our minds. The best way
to insure war is to be constantly
looking for it. AS q nation we are
not looking that way. We are for
peace. if we have to fight for it.

our COUNTY rlckEr

Inc DemOCratlC county ticket
is splendid one, and is worthy
of unanimous Democratic sup
port. For Senator. where is there
better man than Frank Eberley?
And where are there more repre-
sentative men for election to the
General Assembly than 0. N. Hat
lie and John j. Zentgraf or John
R. Johnson and Andrew Ercinck?
All these men are deserving of
your support.
When it comes to a candidate
for County Auditor where in all
the county could a better quail
fled or more worthy man be
found that w. B. Aspinwall?
Surely no Democrat in the county
will fail to record his vote for
BILLY" Aspinwall.
For County Treasurer L. S.
Braun has many hundreds of
friends and is making a splendid
race.
Frank Budack for Sheriff has
made an excellent official for the
term. One good term always de-
serves another and Sheriff Bu-
dack will unGuestionably be re-
For Clerk of Court there is Au-
gust Bergman. one of the best
men who ever held that office. His
reelection is practically conceded
even by his opponent.
For States Attorney Charley
Kachelhoffer has made one of the
Able, clean. attentive, and pro-
gressive he counts his friends by
the thousands, and they will see
to it that no amount of misrepre-
sentation or abuse by an oppon-
ent or an outsider will deprive
him Of the customary second term
to which he is so richly entitled.
For Register of Deeds Ole E.
Olson is the nominee of the DEM
ocratic party and a most worthy
and competent man. He is a poor
man and without the means to
make the kind of campaign that
he would like to have made but he
has the character and the ability
and it is up to the voters to do
the rest.
For County Judge there is Geo.
Van Arnam. He needs no intro
duction for you all konw Georre.
He has lived among us for years
and years. and there is not a bet
ter citizen or more highly re-
spected one in the county.
For Coroner, G.. H. Mcdonnell is
competent and willing to serve US
we'll if elected, and the same thing
is true of F. P. Nelson. j. M. Jur-
gensen. liver Arneson and John
Kuchera, our candidates for JUS
tice of the peace. Chas. w. Craw-
ford. Walter Pelham. P. A. Goet-
tleman and Earl A. Blackburn will
make good county constables.
For County Commissioners.
Andrew ]. Bakken in the End dis J..
trict, w. j. Koppelman of the 3rd
district, and August Hoefs of the
Fourth district, are each and all
first class men in every respect,
and the interests of their districts
as we'll as those of the county at
large. would be ably looked after
if they are electedy. Besides, why
keep a county board of commits
sioners all of one party? 1t is bet
ter for eevrybody's interests that
they be of different parties so that
they can watch each other.
The above ticket is worthy of
loyal Democratic support. all the
way along the line: and if it re-
ceives the support to which it is
entitled. it will practically all be
elected.

Mr.. Voter, do you realize that
the "Stalwart" faction Of the

part he takes in this campaign.

Everybody in the county except
q few Republican politicians
knows that it would be far better
for the taxpayers to have q cOu-
pie of Democrats on the board Of
county commissioners. The thing
is altogether too one-sided as it
is. solid Republican board can
saddle most any kind Of job on
us. and cover it IN. That is not
saying that solidly Democratic
board might not do the same
thing. The sensible thing for the
voters of the county to do is to
make and keep the board of com.
missioners politically divided. The
election of Koppelman and Hoefs
this year would make the ard
about what it ought to be politi--
cally.
