 If Austria had pursued policy of directly helping the Balkan countries, if Austria had in the past made it point to be actively their friend, this war would not confront us." the Hun- garian said with vehemence. Since it has come of course all Hungarians will support the empire and internal differences will be dismissed while the empire is imperilied.

The American press seems to me to be largely influenced against Austria Hungary. l don't know why this should be so, but the feeling ap- psrently exists. It is most unjust. The Servians are cut-throat race one needs only to look at their history to realize that"
 The same feeling that the Americap press is rather generally against Aus tria was expressed at the Austro- Hungarian consulate, 24 State street There it was explained that no notifi- cation of war being declared had been received, nor had notice to call upon army reservists in this country ar- rived from the Austrian ambassador.'

OFFICIAL CITY PAPER
SMASH THE MACHINE

AS the Times pointed out
months ago there is today vastly
less difference i'm the political
creedS of Progressive Republi-
cans and Wilson Democrats than
there is in the creeds of Progress
slve and Stalwart Republicans.
Now that the Stalwart machine
mas renominated Hanna and put
StalWartlsm permanently on top
in the state. the Democrats of the
State extend a cordial invitation
to al! Progressives to Join them
in voting against Hanna and Han
naism this fall and thus put an
end to the Stalwart machine in the
state.
Hanna has been busy ever since
he was elected two years ago in
reconstructing the Stalwart ma
chine in this state. and if re-elect-
he will complete its RECONSTRUCT
ton and make it so formidable
that no Progressive will hereaf-
ter stand ghost of show for
nomination to any state office on
the Republican ticket in this state.
and the only possible way to de-
feat The machine is to defeat Han
Ma.
And there is no surer way to de-
feat Hanna than for the Progress
sive Republicans OF the state to
Join with their friends. the Pro-
gressive Democrats. at this falls
election. as they did when Burke
was elected. and again smash the
Stalwart machine by defeating
the man who is engaged in it's
construction. Under the circum-
stances it is the logical and only
sure way of accomplishing that
end.

The daily papers can't be trust
ed to tell the truth Just before

News suggests that the weekly

the voters the truth. The Fargo,

week of the recent campaign
that it was Wishek or Hanna, and
so many people were misled by
these dailies that they actually
