The Douglas county Democratic

idea of having an organization OF

in the campaign, according to an
announcement made by Henry Al

said the committee had been un-
successful in it's attempts to get
women to serve on the auxiliary or
ganization. He was frank in his ex-
PLANTATION The women do not take
the interest in politics that they
should. If appears as if a lack OF
interest on their part to acquaint

Douglas county Republican central
committee. Makes q difference which
party is seeking women's support.

The Democratic campaign text
book contains a declaration that
the wealth Of the country has in
creased $4,000, 100000 in the last
four years, and credits the figures
to an estimate OF the department
of commerce. But when asked in
writing if it had made any such
estimate the department denied
that it has made any estimate Of
wealth since 1912. So the figures
were faxed. But even if the figures
were well founded, they would make
a poor showing for the Democratic
administration During the eight
years under Republican rule prior
to 1912 the average annual increase
in wealth was 81 per cent while
the average annual increase from
1912 to 1916, if the $4,000, 000,-
coo estimate were correct would |
be only 90 per cent.

KEPT US OUT OF WAR.

There are few fallacies about
the Democratic slogan that will
son kept us out of war" that are
SO obvious that they hardly need
exposition.
Mr.. Wilson couldn't have kept us
out of war but for the fact that
Neither side wanted us in.
Both sides decidedly and dis
tinctly wanted us to keep out.
The American people didn't want
us in,
We had no reason to get in ana
every reason to keep out.
1t isn't two decades since an
American president, beloved and
trusted leader, tried desperately to
keep the country out of war" He
had been elected by an overwhelm-
ing majority, not fortuitous min
GRITTY. His public would have fol-
lowed him almost anywhere.
Yet even Mckinley could no
more staVe Off war, when war was
inevitable, than Canute could order
back the tides.
1t would have been just about as
impossible for Mr.. Wilson to get US
into war, save by some monument
tai blunder, as it was for Mckinley
to keep us out.
This nation isn't the creature Of
any one mans will and purpose;
not even if he is a president, who
calls himself a Democrat and tries
to rule as an autocrat.

WILSON on rnN LAnoR cLAs.

In Mr.. Wilson's History of tn
American People he says: The
Chinese we're more to be desired al
workmen, if not as citizens, than
most of the coarse crew that came
crowding in every year at the east
ern ports.
The coarse crew. the president
described as "crowding in includ-
ed the millions of foreign-born per
sons of every nationality who are
now loyal citizens Of the United
States.
In the same book the president
said: And now there came multi
tudes of men of the lowest. class
from the south Of Italy, and men
OF meaner sort out of Hungary and
Poland. men out OF the ranks
where there was neither skill nor
energy nor any initiative of quick
intelligence"
What do American citizens Of
German, Italian, Hungarian Polish
or any European ancestory think of
that?
On June 3, 1909, in an address
to the graduating class Of Prince
ton University. Or. Wilson express
ed his remarkable views on labor
in the following words: you know
what the usual standard of the en-
ployee is in our day 1t is to give
as little as he may for his wages"
At a dinner in the Waldorf Hotel
in New York, March IS. 1907, DR..
Woodrow Wilson spoke as follows
I'VE speak too exclusively OF the
capitalistic class. There is another
as formidable an enemy to equality
and freedom of opportunity as it
is. and that is the class formed by
the labor organizations and leaders
Of the country"
Contrast the labor record of
President Wilson with the labor
record Of Governor Hughes.
Governor Hughes has never writ
ten or spoken single word mimi
cal to labor. on the contrary he was
the greatest friend Of labor that
ever occupied the governors chair
at Albany. Legislative records at
Albany show that during his two
terms as governor OF New York he
signed SO labor laws
In New York state, during 1872
years, only 162 labor laws were
passed. One third Of these were
signed during Hughes two terms as
governor.

ORANGE COUNTY
FARMERS ASSN NOTES

The following notes are furnished for
the week ending Feb. 10:
The farmers meeting AT Randolph Cen
ter Thursday and Friday of last week
was well attended. The talk by Mr.
Wilson on the farm survey of Randolph
aroused much interest and / think when
these records are taken another year
that much more accurate records will be
available. The taking of the record gave
more than one man clearer realization
of how little he knew about his own
business. The county agent would be
glad TO assist any farmer who wishes to
work out for himself a system of farm
accounts which are simple and will give
the results Of his years work in an I'M
derstandable shape.
Other meetings at which talks were
given by the county agent last week
were at the Congregational circular con
ference at Randolph on "The Farm and
the Church." and the Randolph Mer.
chants association banquet on "Agricul-
tural Extension Work in Vermont"
This coming week the county agent
expects to be present at the creamery
meeting held at Tunbridge under the
auspices of the state department of agri-
'ulture Feb. 2l, and the Randolph grange
Feb. 26, where summary of the farm
survey will be given.

Burlington, Feb 23.-Stanley C. Will

tend United States district court.
Mr.. Wilson was asked as to- political
sentiment about the state and the plans
of the state committee.
"The state committee is waiting the
result of the vote on the primary refer
endum at March meeting, said Mr.. Will
son; "if the referendum passes, it be-
comes effective March 20 and the people
will proceed to express their preference
for president under the new law, by filing
with the secretary OF state such prefer
ence.
"Should the referendum be defeated
the state committee win proceed at once
to call state convention for the cleo
ton of delegates to the Republican ma
tional convention to be held at Chicago,
June 6-S.
while ! find considerable Roosevelt
sentiment about the state" continued
Mr.. Wilson, "the expression for MIR.
Hughes is far more pronounced, and |
believe that the convention would favor
him for president"
The state committee remains the same
as it was at the last election.
