DEMOCRATIC TICK Ell
FOR PRESIDENT
WOODROW WILSON
FOR VICE PRESIDENT
THOMAS r. MARSHALL
WATER POWER CONTROL

More than half tho total water power used in
public service operations in this country is con
trolled by eighteen corporations. Half Of this
amount, or one fourth, is controlled by six cor
poratiOns, according to a report recently made
BY Secretary OF Agriculture Houston. WiscOn-
sin has thousands Of valuable water powers and
a progressive legislature passed a law which
makes it impossible for the trust referred to
above to gobble them. The proposition of this
law brought on one Of the bitterest fights the
legislature ever saw. In years to come, the
progressive legislation which is now sometimes
condemned will be looked upon as being far in
advance II anything any other state has given
its people.-Platteville News.
The control Of water powers is the
greatest economic political question.
But the fight is not so securely won for
the public welfare as the editor Of The
News may suppose. In Wisconsin the
Phillip administration weakened the
Husting law as much as they could;
and there is fierce struggle now going
on in congress over water power bills.
President Wilson stands for the whole
people against the interests; and it is
pertinent to inquire where Judge
Hughes stands in the matter. The
Republican national platform stands for
a federal railway commission and for
abolishing state railroad commissions.
The state railroad commission is a
large factor in giving force and effect
to the provisions Of the Wisconsin wa er
power law. Do away with this com
mission, or make the water power
business inter state business, by run
ming the wires across state lines, and
where is the states security? The
water power question is indeed a great
question, and it should be duly con-
sidered in choosing men to make the
laws and men to execute the laws, from
president down to member of assembly.

THE FARMERS PRESIDENT

Wisconsin State Journal: In spite of his party, Wood
Wilson has forced thru Congress lot OF fundamental
economic legislation that the Republicans in power tor over
forty years, utterly failed to consider Cher among
these issues the federal bank law which has killed
Wall Streets firm hold the financial control OF the
country, eliminating its power to effect pan1cs
Now Woodrow Wilson, the greatest President since
Lincoln brings forth another triumph OF justice IN the
enactment of the rural credits bill.
Altogether there have been 18 rural credits bills IN
Congress. They have included every shade OF opinion from
that which favors government supervision of farm mort
system to that which favos direct government loans to
farmers.
The new bill as passed and signed and described by
the President puts the farmers upon equality with all
others who genuine assets and makes the great credit
of the country available to them"
1t is many persons that the farmer has never had
the borrowing privilege without which the manufacturing
and commercial interests of the country would PERISH
Because the farmer has had way get money at fair
for long time the evils of the landlord SYSTEM one OF
which the high of food have increased by leaps and
bounds in the last quarter of a century.
Successful farming is purely development proposition
SO far time is concerned. It is matter of years.
But the banking business be made successful only
by turning loans and over, rapidly many times The
farmer and the banker work purposes. Farmers
have been largely shut of the borrowing privilege
Lately, farming methods that become scientific
the farmers condition has become Within the past
decade agricultural processes have been revoluonzed
The best farmer trained in agricultural college,
Even the small farmer must practice intensive scientific
processes He learning among other THINGS that there
such thing profitable farming without stock horses
COWS, etc.
It takes least five years get farm started, to
change from exclusive grain farming grain and stock
farming another five get it established in ordinary
security and another five to perfect it.
The farmer needs money do all this and he needs
long time This exactly what the rural credits bill is
intended to supply him with.
1t will permit the small farmer prosper. It will
courage the back to- the-land movement.
It is the first step in doing away with the terrible threat
of andlodism the United States It will help the SO per
Of the counrys agrcnltursts who renting
farmers, to become land and home owners
No President in half century has done much for the
farmer as Woodrow Wilson.

Ii. A. Whipple took part in the Dem
ocratic conference in Milwaukee; and,
catching the spirit OF the occasion, he
wrote up a column of mighty good po
litical stuff, which he published in his
newspaper. The Waterloo Democrat,
under the heading, Notes on the Cam
paign" Here are couple of para
graphs:
Up TO 4 few days before the democratic con
ference which met last week the democratic sea
was very calm. Then little cloud not larger
than mans hand appeared above the horizon
and before the convention was called to order
there was a pc. feet tempest upon the waters.
The progressives who were III control of the
convention kept their heads even when some of
the milwaukee, delegation threatened to jump
overheard. The sun set on subsiding sea and
the gray dawn of the morning after opened on
4 few storm strewn wrecks surrounding the
good old democratic ship with William F.
Wolfe on the bridge and Burt Williams at the
wheel.
1t can very readily be seen what a bad fix a
republican Office seeker is in. He wants to get
into the big circus but he does not know which
elephant To carry water to. In fact, he cannot
tell yet which is the real circus and which is the
side show

The good roads question is becoming one
of the important issues before the American
people A democratic administration has
recognized it in the passage of the Shackel-
ford bill, which provides for millions of
dollars Of federal aid to the respective
states, contingent upon the states appropri-
ating like amount for good roads. We
believe the state should enact all necessary
legislation to take advantage of this law.
We believe that the present law should be
changed to authorize the state highway
commission to lay out system OF state
highways, to be constituted, of certain main
arteries in each county cojoining with those
in the neighboring counties, thus consti-
tuting the state trunk lines.
