Democrats VIII Garry Marathon
County.

The democrats viii carry Marathon
county by an old time democratic
majority. Not for one Instant during
the campaign has the ticket or any
nominee on it been in danger of de-
feat.
Reports reaching local democratic
headquarters, estimates made by men
who mingle with the people of the
county, the attendance and enthus-
iaSm of democratic meetings, straw
votes taken in several precints, all
agree that the high stax republican
ticket is in for the worst drubbing
ever given political party in this
county.
There are many reasons for this re-
suit. The democratic party is
united and its campaign was
organized and conducted in system
attic and effective way. 1t had the
best of the argument in every way.
The people are aroused on the tax
question. They realize that there
can be no reduction of state tax in
case the republicans be returned to
power. They will resent the high tax
robbery of the republican party by
their votes.
This county is for Wilson. The vo-
tiers believe in the national legislation
made effective by the democratic
congress. They know that Wilson
has kept this country out of war at a
time when the rest of the world was
bathed in blood. They are going to
vote for men who support and uphold
the President.
The people resent the insult to
their intelligence made by republican
spellbinders and republican papers in
attempting to raise hard times cry
when there are evidences of prosperity
on every hand. The country was
never more prosperous. The lies told
about panics and soup houses are
making votes for democrats.
L tiU iCphOilOdh Sdllip Ahdho},CAc
have mismanaged their campaign.
The work was amateurish in the ex-
IRENE. Their speakers were iueffect-
i've. They insulted the people by pre-
Stunning that they were ignorant and
ill informed. People read, think and
reason these days. They know bunk
when they hear or read it.
Blaine will get big vote--one
away beyond the estimate of any one
in stalwart republican ranks and four
fifths of his vote will come from re-
publican sources. There are az least
two precincts in the county where he
will get more votes than Phillip and
| in one he may get more than either
Philip or Karel and in that one the
the rest of the democratic ticket will
get every vote cast for Blaine.
The democratic ticket will sweep
the county. Every candidate on the
democratic county ticket will be
elected.

Vote the Democratic Ticket.

This city has been carrying a load
Of taxes for several years that makes
the ownership OF property burden.
We have been in the habit of charg-
ing the mayor and council with ex-
travagance and unwarranted expen-
ditures. A study of the state taxes
imposed in recent years raises the
question as to the responsibility OF
the state offices for at least part of
this load.
Direct state taxes in Wausau have
increased from s5,97451 in 1867 to
80, 1862 in 1913. A gain of s33, 052.0 Oh
in eight years. If the 1914 state tax
gains in the same proportion our
state tax will be over s42, 100000 this
year. Added to this is a special
highway tax OF over s5,OOO.o0 col
lected from this city last year.
Is it any wonder that the people
of the state are demanding lower
tax? The republican policy has been
and is policy that leads to ever in
creasing state tax. The LaFollette
and McGovern contingent control the
republican nominees for the state
legislature. How could Phillip as
Governor change single law, drop a
single commission. discharge single
one of the army of useless employees
without an authorization from the
LaFollette- McG.overn Legislature ?
Phillip, even if he was sincere in any
one of his numerous platform strad-
dies, could not make the first move
toward a reduction of taxation.
The only hope of lower taxes comes
through the election of the demo
cratic ticket. A vote for the repub-
lican ticket is vote for high taxes.
A vote for the democratic ticket is a
vote for low taxes. Take no chances
Vote the democratic ticket.

EsmcIafs VIII Win.

Joseph +. Marthi, chairman of the
democratic state central committee,
has given out an interview in which
he says that he believes that Judge
John c. Karel will be elected governor,
that Paul .. Husting will be elected
United states senator and the entire
democratic state ticket will also be
placed in Office at the election to-
morrow, his predictions being based
upon the reports which Mr.. Martin is
receiving from the precinct committee
men. In his statement Nir. Martin
said: senator Husting, Judge Karel
and the entire democratic state ticket
will bs elected Tuesday Nov. ;, by
overwhelming majorities
"Gov. McGovern is in such disfavor
with the voters of Wisconsin that
look for his defeat by Senator Husting
by at least $4,000 majority So far as
Mr.. Philip the Republican candidate
for governor, is concerned, his stall
wart record and his bitter attacks on

Reputation.

Philip Iepudiated his pre-primary
pledges when he signed the Madison
high tax platform. He then repud-
lated that platform in his Glenwood
speech. McGovern repudiated Philip
in his Rhinelander speech. Blaine
repudiated Phillip by becoming an
independent candidate for Governor.
LaFollette repudiated both stalwart
Philip and Bull Moose McGoyern
and pGw comes Dithmsr, republican
candidate for Lieutenant Governor,
repudiating his chief, the republican
candidate for Governor.
1t is also alleged that the imported
editorial writer of the local daily cor
porstion organ is Virginian and was
follower of Republican Governor
Malone when that commonwealth
repudiated its state debt.
Reputation is becoming a habit
with Republicans

Why z. z. Browne Should Be
Defeafed

Because he absented himself from
congress for many weeks at the most
critical period in the nations history
since the civil war, and did not re-
turn until fined by congress.
Because he did not vote at all on %
out of 20 propositions.
Because he missed SO days out Of
the session of the state legislature
but took the money for the entire
session.
Because he voted against the tariff
and while now talking against it yet
did not vote on all the amendments
offered by the senate.
Because he voted against the ma
tional income tax.
Because he voted against the immi-
grafton bill.
Because he voted against the anti
trust bill.
Because he voted against the orig
inal house draft Of the sOcalled "war
tax" He did not stay in congress to
vote on the final bill of congress but
became panic stricken and rushed
back to this district TO campaign for
reelection by the people against
whose interests he has been voting
while in congress.
Because he is hindering the admin
istration in the carrying out Of all its
progressive measures and acting for
the benefit Of corporate interests.
Because he voted against an inyes-
tigation Of the McGoyern-Ekerns scan
dal while he was a member OF the
state senate.
Because he was directly concerned
in the passage Of the infamous state
highway bin and fathered even
worse measure in congress but which
was relegated 70 the scrap heap.
Because he did not vote on the
proposition Of docking absentee mem
bers as ne was an absentee member
himself when that proposition came
up for vote.
Because he sends out franked litera~
ture Of alleged speeches at the expense
OF the people under the pretense that
these alleged speeches we're really de-
livered. while as a matter Of fact they
we're only included in the record UNI
der privilege OF publication, and we're
then ordered printed By him free Of
charge to him and sent over the whole
district at the expense of the taxpay-
els.

Our Ticket.

The Democratic candidates for the
state legislature and county offices
are all good citizens and deserving of
your hearty support.
w. W. Albers has served one term
in the state senate and he made a
record which entities him to re-elec-
ton. He voted mo" on every PROPOSE
ton that would tend to raise taxes.
Give hi m your vote and help reduce
the tax burden.
Both Christ Franzen and Edward
c. Kretlow, candidates for members
of assembly from Marathon county
are men, who have been tried and
found true They enjoy the confidence
and esteem of all citizens and will no
doubt be elected by substantial ma
jorities.
]. p Ford is practically assured Of
the election to the Office of District
Attorney. He has made vigorous
campaign and has made hundreds of
friends who are standing by him now.
He is good lawyer and will make an
excellent county official.
1t is generally conceded that John
L. Sell will be returned to the office
of register of deeds by an overwhelm-
ing majority. Mr.. Sell has made a
first class official and will be retained
in office.
Charles n. Goerling appears to be
certain of election to the Office OF
sheriff. His connection with Com
pany G, his service in the Spanish
American war and his experience in
the office of under-sheriff all entitle
him to the Office.
Herman J. Abraham will handle
the county funds for the next two
years or outward indication amount
to naught. His election is conceded
by almost everyone.
The republicans have always re-
garded L. H. Cook as their one best
bet in the election, but there ha;
been big change in the situation
in the last few weeks. Arthur Wagner
the hustling young business mar
from Edgar looks like winner.
Kurt Beyreis, the affable and cour
teous Clerk of Court is making {
strong campaign and his election is
assured. Mr.. Beyreis is deserving O
the Office and the voters will see thai
he has it. The average man does moi
like to try new thing when ht
knows what he has is just what ht
wants.
DR.. r NJ. Frawley has filled the
office of Coroner in very efficient
and painstaking manner the last two
years and he will be reelected.
w. II. Gowen, the county surveyor
for the last two years, has proven
himself to be the right man in thu
right place. He will be retained.

THR PILOT cells upon the voters of
Marathon county TO cast their bal
lots Tuesday for the ticket which
heads its editorial columns. By do
ing so you viii do good service for
your country. A victory for Karel
and Husting will assure the people
OF this state that they have done their
duty in support of President Wilson
in his good work; it will mean that he
will have congress back of him in all
his undertakings. Remember that
with President Wilson thus backed up
there will be no wars in which the
United States will be mixed while he
is in the presidential chair. 1t will
also mean good, wholesome laws for
all of the people and not for few
favored ones.
w. w. Albers Should be elected to
the state senate. His ability warrants;
and also Edward Kretlow to the as
sembly, because he would make an ex-
cellent and able member of that body.
The democratic county ticket to a
man should be elected. They have
all been tried and not been found
wanting
Place cross at the head Of the
democratic ticket next Tuesday; you
will not make mistake.

PRESIDENT WILSON has no doubt
kept faith with the Morgan and other
interests which discovered him,
groomed him, financed his campaign
and stood back grinning when he put
on the bizarre mask of PTogressivism
to deceive the impetuous common
people. Wausau Record Herald, Tory
Rep.
You certainly are peach. You,
supporter of Aldrichism and all the
other vicious legislation for private
interests which accumulated steadily
until the abuses resulted two years
ago in the Reputation of your party
with startling emphasis. To have the
cheek to connect Morgan's name with
this administration, is to insult public
intelligence in a degree that is
startling. Milwaukee Journal.

The Worlds Greatest Motion Picture
Comes to the Grand Opera House
Naxt Week

Direct from its long sensational
recOrd-breaking run in New York
and Chicago "Cabiria," the great
motion picture tableau, will be seen
for the first time in Wausau at the
Grand opera house for 3 days, with
2:30 daily matinees commencing Mon
day, Nov. 8, and should interest all
students of history. The time of this
vast photo spectacle is in the third
century, 3. c., when Rome and Car
thage we're at war. The final success
of Rome was followed by the CONSOLE
dation of the Roman Empire, which
shortly before the Christian era pro-
badly reached the apogee of its great
ness. Historical characters, such as
ScipiO, Hannibal, Archimedes and
other great warriors and perSonageS
of the time era shown. The Greek
philosopher, Archimedes, is shown
utilizing the power of the sun for
the purpose Of creating a contlagra-
Uion. He burned up the Roman feet
by fixing the solar rays upon the
ships. Constructed by Gabrielle dan
nunzio, Italy's foremost poet and
dramatist, with a special score by
Signor Mantle Magga, produced at a
cost of a quarter of a million dollars,
a sum exceeding the production ex-
pense of the largest comic operas and
being presented only in high class
theatres, "Cabiria" has more than
gratifed the ambitions of the direc-
tors of the italia Film Company, by
reaching the highest point attainable
in the amusement world. Their pre-
vious production, "The Fall of Troy
was unanimously declared wonder
ful Photographic achievement, but
'Cabiria" surpaSses them all and can
only be compared to "The Passion
Play as played by Anton Lang at
Oberammergau and Jean dare" as
played by Maude Adams at the Har-
ward Stadium. 1t would have been
impossible to have produced "Cabiria"
in the same manner as the two afore-
mentioned, as five thousand actors
and SuperS we're necessary to complete
the picture and 1t was doubtful that
any particular in the world would
have afforded the unusual scenic in
yesriture which becomes part Of the
picture only after six different coun-
tries had been visited and two years
time had been spent. If .sGabiria"
had been presented that way, only
those with sufficient means to enjoy
a European trip could have witnessed
the exhibition as in the case of ''The
Passion Play" 1t was the intention
Of the Itala Company to present this
romantic, historical drama as an edu-
cauienal feature for the masses and
;hat they have succeeded is proven
by the capacity audiences that are
daily witnessing the performances al
the Globe Theatre, New York City,
where the performance has been run
ming since June first.

Why Stand by Wilson,?

Because President Wilson stands by
you. He has caused to be enacted
into laws some of the measures the
people have been demanding for yea s,
but which they could not get under
the rule of the trusts and trust con-
trolled politicians. The Underwood
tariff law stands out as one Of the
greatest pieces of legislation ever
placed upon the statue books of a
nation. 1t means cheaper cost of
living and were it not for the devas-
tating war in Europe the people
would now be enjoying the benefits
of this law.
The currency with its reserve bank
ing system renders panics, such as we
had in 1907, under republican pres
ident and a republican congress i'm
possible.
The income tax law requires the
wealthy people of the country to bear
their just share of the burden of
maintaining the government. The
income tax act is the fairest and
most effective law that has ever been
enacted by congress. It compels
those who have benefited by high
tariffs and government protection to
now pay for the privileges they en-
joy.
The law passed by the Democratic
congress makes trust magnets who do
business in restraint of trade GRIM
inally liable and prison doors will
close behind those so convicted. Sew
eral preventiveS under this law have
already been made. Under Republi-
can rule trusts were immune from
prosecution.
If President Wilson had not done
another thing in the eighteen months
of his term of Office his attitude in
the Mexican situation merits the en-
dorsement of every vote of the nation.
Had the President listened to such
papers as the Record Herald and
others of the same stripe, who sought
10 put him in hole, thousands of
Americans would now lie dead in I'M
known graves in Mexico. The far
sightedness and courage of the presi-
dent during this crisis has won for
him the admiration of not only the
people of the United States, but of
tbp pntirp world
Mr.. Voter remember some of the
permanent laws that have been
enacted when you go TO the polls to-
morrow. Don't let the traitorous
corporation calamity howlers deceive
you now as they have done in the
past
Vote for Husting for the e. S. Sen
ate, Schmidt for Congress, Karel for
Governor and the whole democratic
ticket from top to bottom Let that
be your answer to those who have in
suited your intelligence and tried to
make you believe black was white.
The Wausau Daily Record Herald
says, "a vote for McGovern, Browne,
and the state ticket is not only vote
for economy in the state, but it is a
vote for economy in the nation"
Does the Record Herald think for
one minute that the people of Wau-
sau and Marathon county have lost
the faculty of remembrance 1t was
only few weeks ago that this same
sheet was shouting loud and long
against McGovern and the High Tax
crowd that hold sway in the state.
This woeful lack of sincerity and of
consistency, of disregard for truth
will not get by the voters of this in
telligent community. 1t is base in
suit TO the intelligence of the people
to attempt to make them swallow
such rot as that and they resent it.
When the votes are counted tomor-
row the Record Herald will have its
answer.

CONGRESSMAN BROWNE is getting
very much frightened and is doing all
in his power to stir up the people in
his behalf This district has been, as
laid out, very strongly republican;
now the outlook is very much in favor
of A. G. Schmidt who is making a
whirlwind campaign. Even that old
republican county, Waupaca, gives
evidence of going to pieces and voting
democratic. Mr.. Schmidt is very con-
tident of election, especially since the
visit of William Jennings Bryan to
the district. On the situation, Wed
nesday afternoon, after MIR. Bryan had
delivered his speech at Wausau, Mr..
Schmidt said
Il have seen decided increase in
democratic sentiment ever since the
campaign began an | believe the visit
of Mr.. Bryan to the Eighth district
has aided very materially"
