tempting to apply the same process
to the Germans in Alsace.
Almost all the encounters that have

WIND Ur VI q UAT UAMrAIGN.

There was four day whirlwind cam
paign OF the county by the Democrats
last week. Congressman Reilly, can
didate for reelection accompanied by
ali the county candidates visited ev-
cry corner of the county. 1t wound up
at rally at the New Opera House
Friday evening with an address by Mr..
Reilly.
District Attorney Healy presided and
made short address attacking the
reckless extravaganza of the Republi-
can rule in Wisconsin.
Mr.. Reilly was at his best. He de-
livered an address that wouldra rank with
the best ever delivered in the city.
For over two hours he held an audi
ence of over POO in rapt attention
He said that he had sacrificed his per-
sonal interests by remaining on the Job
at Washington until the work was COM
pleted week ago. He then launched
into an eloquent and convincing defense
of the Democratic national administra-
tton. He said it was the greatest rec
ord of promises redeemed in national
history. In IS months of power it has
fulfilled its promises to the people by
passing the best tariff bill of a half
century in the inCorests of the people,
10y enacting panic proof currency law
which meets the changing needs in the
volume of currency in the country, by
creating the Fedaral Trade Board
which will control the overgrown cor
porations, by abolishlng the interlock
ing corporate directorates by which the
power Of industry has been centered
into few hands, by establishing control
over the issue of railroad securities
Each of these accomplishments was
explained in detail. Mr.. Reilly's oppo-
nent was given some attention by the
speaker. He said that MIR. Davidson is
misrepresenting the administration in
several important particulars, especial
~ IuC ucW tdrlii law anu Jlo IcasODS
for the present war tax law. He made
a convincing reply to the Republican
cha"ge of extravaganza. lie drew
forth great applause by an eloquent tri-
butte to President Wilson and his great
achievement in preserving peace. He
spent some time on state issues thrust
ing home with unusual clarity and EN-
phasis the appalling tax figures of Re
publican misrule in Wisconsin which
have become familiar during the past
six months.
All in all it was a remarkable politi-
cal address, e.oquent, interesting and
persuasive.

CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

a special meeting of the city council
was held Monday evening. The call
specified the purpose to be to act on
the utility steam equipment bids AID
to consider asking for Diesel oil fuel
engine bids. G.. Schroeder was the on
ly absentee.
The utilities committee had not met
to consider the steam bids and so the
only business was an hour and half
debate over resolution 10 ask for bids
for Diesel Engine equi pment. Schuetze
dominated the scene like Colossus.
He got himself into a heated eolloquv,
With whoever could be drawn into one
He said the Diesel proposition is mere
y delay tactics.
BigeI defended the Diesel project,
Schuetze had come back from Apple
ton and Neenah unmpressed. Other
members who had been there had been
called on. Scherer favored Diesel bids
Supt Emil Schroeder was opposed.
rhorlsOn was rather undecided. En-
gineer PITT who had zone on the junk
ct kicked into the debate and he and
Schuetze talked at the same time for a
while. Then the mayor objected to
SchuetHe's constant reference to
''school-boy actions and he and Schuet-
re had a short Joint debate. William
Schroeder seemed to favor steam.
PITT read lot of figures showing that
- million gallons are pumped 10y a
Diesel at Appleton for 80 cents for fuel
daily and Schuetze scoised at the state
ment and said that sum wouldn't pay
the freight on the Oil. The throwing
out of Diesel engines by the Kimberly
Clark paper mills made the mayor
hesitate, he said. Bigel aad >,chuetze
insistent that there be immediate ac-
tion on the steam bids. After all the
debating Georgenson amended the res
olution that the clerk advertise for
bids for Diesel engine to read that
the engineer report specifications for
it to the meeting next Monday and in
this form it carried, s 20 D.
