PRESS POINTS
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Marinette Eagle Star: Football is ON
again and the conflict for supremacy is
waged with Il relentless fury that shows
that the Europeans are not the only
people who can fight. AS an exchange
says Moses are broken, blood flows,
shins are kicked, backs are bruised, all
in the sacred cause of democracy and
liberty"
Oconto Enterprise: Those ingrained
partisans who say that Wisconsin can
not have Democratic Governor this
year mistake the temper, the intelli
gence and the judgement of the people.
They bank on the partsanships and
prejudicee of the past. The man who
says Wisconsin will not elect Demo-
crat to be Governor, in the presence of
these outrageous and burdensome taxes,
made and approved by McGovern ct AL
and who are now blaming their exist
enCe upon each other, does not correct
ly understand the real intensity of pub
lie resentment.
Darlington Democrat: The Demo
cratic platform rs whole is good,
much better than that of two years ago
The water power law of the state,
largely the work of Senator Husting, is
endorsed, which is reversal of the at
titude of two years ago. The state in
come tax law is accepted, which is
another commendable reversal. The
corrupt practices law is endorsed.
The New York World: Like good
Pennsylvania high protectionist, DR..
Governor, is lamenting that the tariff
was reduced by the wicked Democrats,
because high tariff would have pre-
vented the need of levying $500, 900 900
taxes upon peaceful people in the name
of war. AZ a schoolmaster the
worthy doctor perhaps could explain
how in the absence of imports high
tariff taxes would have produced the
necessary revenue, but he doesn't.
Marinette Eagle Star: Tae Demo
Gratis are being openly helped by the
Progressives in Pennsylvania and they
are really doing the same in other ways
and perhaps more indirectly in other
states. Will Mr.. Roosevelts boosted
independence of party worship yet lead
him into the ranks of the party he has
always foughtY Stranger things have
happened.
Waterloo Democrat: We know of no
reason why the progressive democrats
should decline to support Judge Karel
and the democratic ticket. We refuse
to believe that they will decline 70 do
so, Every day we see evidences about
the state of determination on the part
of the people of Wisconsin to punish
the republican party of the state for it's
high handed methods of conducting the
business of the state The party de
serves to be thrown from power in the
state. Judge Karel, if elected, will
give the people of Wisconsin clean,
economical, business administration.
