AN APPEAL TO DEMOCRATS.

A political campaign is on in whlch
every taxpayer Of Wisconsin is vitality
interested. The Democratic party of
Wisconsin is fighting a fight for the
people and gives its pledge that if the

November they will stop waste and ex-
travagance in government and reduce
the heavy burden of taxes which have
been growing by leaps and bounds dur,
ing the past fifteen years of Republi-
can administration.
To effectively organize to win we are
in need of money To pay legitimate
campaign expenses. We appeal to
every man irrespective of his political
affiliations who believes and desires
economy in government, and who is
financially able, to contribute at least

State Central Committee, ll9 plankin-

ceipt from Andrew Jensen, Treasurer
of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee. We oppose special privilege
and can get no financial assistance from
them. We have no corporate atiila-
tions and will get no help from them.
We are fighting the fight of the people
and we must appeal to the people for
their time, their ability and their fin
ancial assistance.
Judge Karel began the fight to re-
duce the taxes two years ago. Today
every man on the Democratic State
ticket is plegded to economy in govern
ment. The Democratic party is unit.
ed and working together as never be-
fore and with your help are going to
win.
Judge Karel and his associates will
give to this state the same business like
administration that President Wilson
and the Democratic Congress has given
to the ma ation.
Senator Paul Husting will be wor-
thy representative of our great State
in the United States Senate where he
will help further the influence and pol
icies of President Wilson.
Give us your aid in this important
battle for economy by mailing dollar

The Republican rally at the Or
pheum last night was attended by
about l30 A. l.. Hougen presided and
introduced the speakers. Ex-Congress-
man j. II. Davidson gave short open
ing speech and confined his talk to ma
tional issues. He attacked the Demo-
cratic administration, accusing it of eX-
travaeance and so forth.
Emanuel L. Philip, Republican can.
didate for governor spoke for over an
hour. His speech was largely repeti-
tion of his address here during the
primary campaign. He reiterated his
assertion that he has no strings tied to
his candidacy and that If elected he in
tends giving the people Of Wisconsin a
business administration. TO start with
he would investigate every department
of state activity so that unnecessary
employees may be dropped and unneces-
sary boards abolished.
The Republican county candidates
occupied chairs on the stage. They're
n good looking bunch but, of course,
are doomed to defeat in November.
The Democrats will sweep the state
and the county with the whole ticket
and whatever else is in sight, so that
really all is over but the shouting.
There was no enthusiasm at the rally
and very little applause. 1t seemed as
if the spirit of hopelessness was in the
air.
