WOLFE FOR SENATOR.

In William f. Wolfe, the Democratic
party presents to the people Of Wiscon
sin an admirable candidate for United
States senator. He is able, honest and
brave; he is a statesman who feels the
thrill of the great movements Of the
time; and he has acted mans part in
directing those movements Alright. For
years he has fought with force and
effect to bring the Democratic party in
Wisconsin back 10 its own; and with
other good leaders swung the Badger
state very early into the Woodrow Will
son movement. He supports the ma
tional administration unqualiiedly, for
its great achievements in domestic
matters and in its foreign policy.
The Progressives are wont to say
that the old order changeth. The old
order would surely be changed for the
better with Husting and Wolfe repre-
senting Wisconsin in the senate.

away from Ashland, unless tax concessions
were made to his company. Mayor Williams
was insisting that the Hines company pay
taxes on the same basis as the other bust
ness enterprises and citizens of the COM
munity The Hines tax bill was $4,000.
Local business interests became frighten-
ed when Hines made the threat, and the
city council by majority vote instructed a
compromise on the payment of one-half the
amount 1t also voted an instruction to the
mayor and city attorney to drop the case in
the supreme court to which it had been
appealed after Hines won the first round in
the lower court. Mayor Williams ignored
the council, and fought the case through.
The supreme court ordered Hines to pay the
full tax, with penalties, which he did.

Deeds, Not Words.

Postmaster General Burl9son recently
forwarded to the Treasury Department
a check for $5,2OO,OOO, the amount of
the surplus in postal revenues for the
past fiscal year According to Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo it was
the third time since 1886 that surplus
postal revenues have been deposited ir
the Treasury, all those being since the
beginning of President Wilson's admin
istration.
In the fiscal year 1913 the surplus
was $3,8O0,0O0 and in 1914 it was $3
100000
At about the same date that the
check above mentioned was sent to the
Treasury Department, tentative allot-
ment Of million dollars for construc-
ton and maintenance Of roads and
trails in national forests was announced
by Secretary of Agriculture Houston
This amount is to be expended during
the present fiscal year out of the $40
100000 appropriated by the Fedora
Road Act. By the terms of the act, the
states are requested to cooperate to the
extent Of at least so per cent Of the
cost Of surveys and construction.

WILLIAMS FOR GOVERNOR.

In Burt Williams, the Democrats of
Wisconsin have an excellent candidate
for governor. He is man to whom
every citizen who wants good govern
mept can confidently turn. He has
been student of history and govern
ment and fighter for the public inter
'ests. His career as mayor Of Ashland
well illustrates his character.
Ashland was a Republican city. but Nh
Williams acquaintance enabled him tc
overcome the handicap. He was Democrat
ic candidate for mayor first in 1901, anc
was elected over Senator \. ". Sanborn
receiving 1000 votes to 900 for his oppo
nent. The second time he ran for mavol
he was nominated on the Democratic. Re
publican and nonpartisan tickets. and the
third time he had no opposition. He wa:
MAYOR of Ashland for eight years.
His administration brought him into
vigorous contests with public service cor
porations over the questions of rates, servic,
and the like He had been elected as
Progressive Democrat, pledged to conserv,
public interests His repeated reelection
indicated what the voters thought of hi
method of keeping pledges.
One Of his contests while he was mayo
was With the Edward Hines Lumber Com
pany. At one time Hines made the publi
statement that he would move his mill

Fortunately, America can play her part
in the DAYS 10 come unseIfshly and i'm
partially, because she covets nothing that
other nations have, unless it be their skill
and knowledge in some Of the undertakings
of science and industry, and these things
she can obtain not by conquest of force,
but by the mere careful use of the extra
ordinary capacity of her people. She can
produce like skill and knowledge for her
self That Is one Of the things these days
Of struggle and interrupted trade have
taught her. She has nothing that she
wishes 10 take away from other nations OF
Of the world, and she is better prepared
than she ever vas before to make rich
contribution to the development Of other
nations.-W OODROW WILSON.

Eu ope will begin dumping her commercial
products upon our shores. Our nation with its
surplus gold and wealth ought to be in position

in forcing them to pay that extra tariff to Off

Republican for September I:
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1916-09-14

It is doubtful whether the younger
generation is as much interested in
certain phases Of the pending presi-
Dental campaign as are philo sophie old
stagers. It will have occurred to those
familiar with many political campaigns
that in this one the position of the
two chief contestants is reversed. The
democrats are the partyin power, and
the republicans chiefly constitute the
opposition to the reelection Of the
president.
That which the democrats had been
forced to do in weary years that are
past the republicans must now take up.
The sum of accomplishment which
President Wilson is able to show is
uttermost by his opponents, just as the
democrats had to make light of the
record of republican administrations.
In the old days republicans were
aggressive and confident, entitled to
much credit and claiming more, even
to the crops which Nature provided for
the use of the use of man. The role of
critic is never very filling unless
blunders have been made that are so
manifest as in themselves to compel
popular recognition and reprobation.
If any republicans consider that Mr.
Hughes has not made the Roadway
which they expected him to achieve at
this time let them consider the situation
in which he finds himself and its
difficulties. The issue before the coun-
try is the record which Mr. Wilson has
made and that compelling fact the
republican candidate is obliged to
recognize and to act upon.
The country sees that the democratic
candidate is not an untried quantity as
he was four years ago, when men
arguing from his record as governor of
a vigorous and able executive. Now
he can render an account of his
stewardship as president of the United
politics said that the great lack in
American politics was Of leadership
that could command the support of a
party and Of the people, and no one
will dispute that as president Of the
United States the former head of
Princeton university, long trained IN
the study of our national history has
exhibited leadership Of exceptional
quality. Today the democracy is
Wilson is the democracy. The demon
stration of ability to unity his party
will have to be admitted.
Men may differ as to the desirability
of things that have been done, but the
accomplishment is there for us to see
and for history to record and to weigh.
Its leader has made the democratic
party progressive and has taught it to
stand together and do things Theodore
Roosevelt is not the only executive who
has made his own policies for which
other men blazed the way. The
republicans are no longer facing a
moss covered democracy incapable of
growth, but confront an organization
capable of doing things that in the
main command the respect of the
