You cannot please the average re-
publican editor whether he is the dig
nified head of country weekly or the
high cocklOrum of country daily. Four
years ago he burst his lungs crying
hard times, the empty dinner pail, no
work for the laboring man, no money
with which to buy bread, etc. This
year there are not enough men to take
care of the work of the country; the
European war has sent all of our food
stuffs abroad, and the hot, dry weather
of summer curtailed our crops and
that same average republican editor
blames the democrats for the high
cost of living, and the lack of rain to
raise bumper crops. Every mothers
son of them wants war, war, war,
just because President Wilson has
kept the country out of war.

Ahlaze Over Wilson Day

Fifty thousand copies Of the mes
sage from President Woodrow Will
son to the people of the United States
which was read at the Wilson Day
celebrations throughout the country
on Saturday, October %, were sent
out by the democratic National COM
mittee.
The public response to the sugges-
ton by the committee that October %
be set aside for a patriotic demonstra-
ton of pride in the public services of
Woodrow Wilson has met all expecta-
tions. Notices of intention to hold one
or more celebrations of the day have
come from every county in every state
in the union.
In New York City, the principal
theatres and moving picture houses
signified their purpose of participant
ing by decorating their establishments,
outside and in, with the national col
ors. A Mothers Parade" was ar
ranged LOT III GTGdLGI N6W IOI n, III
which thousands of women joined. At
a mass meeting following the parade,
Mrs. Joseph I. Berry, former superin-
tendent OF children's Fairgrounds in
the Bronx, read the message from the
President to the audience.
Hundreds of non-political organiza-
tions Joined in the celebration. Upon
application to the National committee,
or to the chairmen of state and county
democratic committees, the message
was provided to all who desired to
recognize the constructive accomplish
ments of the President and to applaud
his success in keeping the United
! States out of war.
The message was to proclaim the
| Freedom brought to the people of
| America by such progressive laws
as the Federel Reserve act, the Rural
Credits act and the Child labor law
Every Wilson and Marshall club in the
land shared in the demonstration.

County
Wilson is the Man-AIl America is
For Him

The states west of the Great Lakes
present a political situation that
skilled newspaper men and other po-
litical observers find so amazing as to
be scarcely believable. The middle
west, the mountain west and the far
west fairly flame with Wilson senti-
ment and presage a Wilson landslide
unequalled since Roosevelt swept the
country in 1904. There is not GER
tain Hughes state west of the Great
Lakes, but there are number hither-
to classified as surely republican that
will go for Wilson.
The farmers throughout the coun-
try are for Wilson and the democratic
party because of the tremendous pros
perity since the passage of the Federal
Reserve law. The workingmen are for
Wilson and the democratic party be-
cause they are enjoying better hours,
better pay and better working condi-
lions than have ever been known in
this country.
The women will help to give Illinois
to Wilson; they know that Hughes
means war, war. war"
The Rural Credits law, the Good
Roads and Grain Grade law meet with
the hearty approval of the farmers,
and that with the Eight-hour law has
practically cemented the sentiment of
labor for Wilson, will give him the
great agricultural states Of the west.
A landslide is evident for Wilson
in Michigan; all straw votes in that
state point to democratic victory.
There is a tremendous sentiment in
favor of President Wilson in Ohio.
Even Wisconsin, it is thought, will
go for President Wilson, due largely
to the progressive legislation enacted
by the Wilson administration.
In addition, the railroad vote has
gone over to Wilson since the Eight
hour law was placed on the statute
books. This state was carried by Will
son in 1912, by 1881.
Sweeping victories are reported for
Wilson in Kansas, Missouri, Indiana,
Colorado, and the Pacific coast states.
A huge Wilson wave is engulfing the
east and dependable reports show that
he will carry New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut and Delaware.

Candidate Hughes is trying to scare
the people by telling them that Ameri-
ca will be the dumping ground for
Europe, and that the men in the
trenches will go home and commence
the work which will food the world
with their products. But this man who
is trying to brighten the people into
voting for him must remember the
millions of working men who have
been killed in Europe. viii there not
be a lack of able bodied men in Europe
when the war closes? Such arguments
are pure rot.

William F. Wolfe stands for the
same progressive policies which are
advocated by President Wilson. A
vote for Wolfe is as necessary as a
vote for Wilson, for the reason that
the President needs Just such men as
Mr.. Wolfe in the Senate to carry out
the policies of the administration.

When the republicans place such
states as Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Min
nesota, Indiana and Wisconsin in the
doubtful states, isn't it tantamount to
giving up the election? Hughes stand
against labor, against the income tax,
against the two-cents a mile rate on
railroads and other laws which affect
a vast majority of the American voters
will relegate him to oblivion.

Marathon County

The great ReXall straw vote which
has been taken in every large city
and village in the country at the Rexall
drug stores, was given out yesterday.
The vote shows that President Wilson
will get large majority of the cleo
toral votes; and this too in the face
of the fact that the Rexall vote gives
Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, Indiana
and New York to Hughes. The vote
was taken in 5000 Rexall drug stores
with headquarters il Boston.

1t is we'll enough to know that Will

Rims Lid OFF Hughes Slams

In ringing speech at Cohan's
Grand opera house, in the center of
the Loop district of Chicago, recently,
cambridge Colby, the noted New York
progressive, tore the lid off republi-
can shams and unmasked the grinning
skeleton of Wall street lurking in the
Hughes trenches. Mr.. Colby's speech
was a vote-getter, and it has caused
considerable uneasiness at western re-
publican headquarters. Here are some
of the things he said:
"The air is filled with kissing
shrieks, rantings, rawlings, not to speak
of liquid fire and asphyxiating gases.
Every decorating humbug and politi-
cal caliope in the country has been
drafted into service, and the noise is
something awful. But it is only noise,
after all. The jeremiah O'Learys, the
ROosevelts, the Koelbles, the Roots,
the Beverages, are endeavoring to en-
velop the President in a curtain of
fire under which the cohorts of Wall
street and Privilege hope to sweep
once more into power.
"In the meantime, Hughes pursues
his dark-lantern campaign of coward
ly evasion, hoping to draw unto his
self the support of every disloyal,
alien, corrupt and un-American ele-
ment in the country. l hereby for
mally renOunce the high opinion in
which for many years [ held Mr..
Hughes. He has the support of the
munitions makers and the holders of
the English loan and dares not say
what he would do to stop the inter-
ference with our neutral commerce by
the British navy. He is trying to play
both ends against the middle on every
question, and hopes thereby to get the
votes coming and going"

Our international relations need
more delicate handling right now than
at any time since the European war
began. The war threats of Mr.. Hughes
and Mr.. Roosevelt have seriously
jeopardized the vital interests of the
country.

Last Saturday the Wausau football
squad went to Merrill and played the
team in that city to the tune of 2l-0
in favor of Wausau. This was an in
teresting and enthusiastic game as
was shown by the Wausau crowd,
which accomp panied the boys. Follow
ing was the Wausau lineup for Satur-
days game: Douville, r. E.; Spar, r.
t.; Schneider, r. G.; McInnis, c.;
Schuetz, |. g.; Halder, capt, |. t.;
Roach, |. E.. Cook, O.; Johannes, r. h.;
Weinkauf, f.; Kiefer, /. h. Substi-
tutes: Niles for DOuville, j. Schnei-
der for Spar, Frey for Schuetz and
Munger for Johannes.
About three hundred ''fans" from
this city attended the game. A
special train left here at 12:45 o'clock
carrying about two hundred and
twenty-five people. The Columbia
band also went up and furnished a
great deal of enthusiasm. The root
ers from the Curtis & Yale factory
paid the band expenses. A great
many went up in automobiles.
During the game between halls two
"Snake Dances" took place on the
field. One was by Wausau, and led
by the band accompanying them on
the trip, and the other by Merrill,
| led by their high school band and a
goat with the following, merrill Got
| Wausau's Goat" The two met in
the center of the field where a scuffie
was INDUCED in, but not of serious
nature.
A preliminary game was played be-
tween the Mosinee first team and
Merrill second team, with a score in
favor of the Merrill Seconds of 41-0.
Wausau needs to win but one
more game to secure the Valley
/ championship. Next Saturday they
play with Stevens Point on the home
grounds, and this is surely going to
| be a game full of excitement. If the
result of the game next Saturday is a
tie score, Wausau will be the champ
ions, as the locals beat Grand Rapids,
while the Pointers fought the Rapids
bunch only to tie score.
Upon their return from the Merrill
game Saturday evening a parade
headed by the Columbia band marched
up Third street and on the corner of
Scott and Third gave foot ball yells,
and before long Wausau citizens
knew that our boys had been victor
ious.
