A NEW LIN E-UP.

The Democrat expects one good re
suit from the passing Of the Republican
party Of Wisconsin under tory domino
ton. We hope for beneficial reverse
action which will make it easier to keep
the Democratic party in the state true
to name. With II Republican admins
governmental clock backwards there
will be no danger Of Democrats under
shortsRhted leaders trying to take Il
short cut to victory by standing for less
democracy against more democracy. II
will be the bOunden duty of every Dem
ocrat in the next legislature to face the
future and nanfuIly fight the forces of
reaction. Now that the tories have
well established camp Of their own
and are rallying there, all progressives,
or liberals, ought to come over into the
Democratic organization. Come over,
all forward looking mon; and by nom
mating the right kind Of men and
adopting the right kind of principles
do your full duty IN citizens. Come

already in the ranks to do. And that
is to stand by true democratic princi.

The Observation-Disclosures Contest


Milwaukee journal. All sorts of
theories are being advanced to explain
why Wisconsin, while electing II Re.
publican governor, has sent Democrat
to the United States senate. Minor
issues, of course cut some figure on
both sides. But what really was the
governing factor in the senatorial cleo
ton was the votes of men who stand
for principle rather than party name
The forces which two years ago com
bined, not through any arrangement by
leaders, but inspired by principle to
give Wisconsin electoral vote to
Woodrow Wilson, combined again in
this campaign to elect Paul @. lIusting
to the United States senate. The indie.
pendent Progressive vote of the state
was the decisive factor in the senator
ial election last Tuesday just ms it was
i'll the presidential contest two years
ago.

Washngton.-W Washington hostcSses,

at the prospect of the most thoroughly
disUrganizcd social season this capital
has ever known.
or course it is chiefly due to the war,
though President Wilson's bereaye

The indications are that there will

which constitute the real framework
of Washington society, will be con
spicuous by their absence unless the
warning nations speedily adjust their
differences.
CuriouSly enough the war, which is
already limiting the scope of Washing

for the coming to the capital of more
