Beauty of PennsYlvania.

In one respect only Pennsylvania Is
unchanged and Interchangeable. Men
have dealt harshly and shamefully by
her, but nature has crowned her with
beauty. Her founder, knowing moth
ing Of his broad tracts, save that they
were forest lands, gave to the new
province the pretty name of Sylvania,
and Charles H., always a postmaster
of words, prefxed the Penn, for which
pleasant conee.t every son and daugh-
ter of the state owes him a grateful
thought. Thus the word Pennsylvania
perpetuates history, hOnors a noble
name and symboli7es the loveliness Of
the land, land of woods and waters,
hills and valleys, fat farms and rocky
solitudes. The shrieking engine that
drags its trainload of passengers
through the valley of the Juniata,
across ridge after ridge of the Ale
ghenies, past the Tusearora gap end
the succession of narrows-Long Mar
rows. Jacks NarrOws, Packsaddle
Narrows-has trayersed a country so
widely and nobly beautiful that, in Eu-
rope, 1t would attract the tourists OF
the world.-Agnes. Reppder in Ameri-

In John Cudahy, candidate for lieu
tenant governor on the Democratic
ticket, the Democratic party of Wis
consin has chosen one of the most pro-
gressive young men in the state, While
he has never been active in politics in
any way and great pressure had to be
brought to bear on him to become a
candidate, he has been prominently &C
tive in every movement that had to do
with the welfare of Milwaukee.
Though a comparatively young man,
Cudahy has risen within the last few
years by dint of perseverance and I'M
usual ability to be recognized as one
of the leading attorneys Of the state
He has often declared that the great
est honor that could ever be conferred
on him would be to be recognized as
the poor mans attorney"
81 would thousand times rather be
in a position to befriend poor honest
workingman and make him happy than
to possess the worlds riches" he once
said. 81 adopted the profession of law
that I might be of service to my fellow
man. If | can ever hope to have an
opportunity to be of help to humanity
even to the smallest degree, shall feel
that l have accomplished something
in life'
Cudahy received his preliminary edu-
cationaI training in his native city,
Milwaukee, and afterwards took up a
course of studies in Harvard university
where he graduated with much honor
Following his graduation there he
studied law at the University of Wis
consin where he had the highest hon
ors conferred on him.
Cudahy, through his manly person
ality, unassuming manners and quiet
disposition, has a following in Milwau
kec and throughout the state that is le-
gion. His strength not only among
Democrats but among all parties has
made him the popular choice for lieu
tenant governor.

Edwin G. Jones, Democratic candi
date for secretary of state, although a
young man, has had much experience
and training to fit him for public Of
fee, which heretofore he has not
sought. He was graduated from the
high school of his native city, Portage,
Wisconsin, in 1903. He entered the
University of Wisconsin where he took
the fOur-year course in Journalism and
spent an extra year in special work
at the University Law school. Through
out his University career, Med" as
he is best known to the younger gener'
alton, was most active in many
branches of university work, espe'
ciaIly in connection with the university
newspaper on which publication he
worked through it's various editorships
to business manager, which position
he held for two years.
In 1909 he was appointed by Presi'
dent Van Hise of the university, as of.
fetal press representative of the uni.
versity to accompany the Wisconsin
baseball team on tour to Japan. His
| duties were to disseminate through the
press of this country and that Of ia.
pan, the spirit of the university, as
| demonstrated on the field Of sport
the spirit of "fair play" and putting
the game before the prize" This he
succeeded in doing so well In Japan
that he was engaged by the only Amer
lean newspaper in that country, the
Japan Advertiser, of Tokyo, as a mem
Der of its editorial staff He accepted
the position in 1910 becoming soon
after, business manager of the paper.
After he returned to this country
he assumed the management and edi-
| torship of the Portage Democrat, a
newspaper, published by his father, ].
E. Jones of Portage, who for many
| years had been prominently identified
with the Democratic party in Wiscon-
| sin. Since becoming editor of the
| Democrat, the younger Mr.. Jones has
been actively engaged in behalf of
his party in his own county and in
the state. A young man of progress
sive ideas and abundant push" he
has risen rapidly in the esteem of his
fellow Democrats, and at the pre-pri-
mary conference of his party, when
| the Democrats of the state were
searching for "forward-looking" men TO
lead the party to victory, he was Sc
lected as one of the party's candidates.

Dents In Wood Furniture.

When wood is badly dented or
scratched it is often a problem to
know how to get rid of the marks.
This is quite easy If the following
plan, suggested by the Scientific Amer
lean, Is adopted. First Of all fold a
piece of blotting paper at least four
times, then saturate with water, final
ly allowing the superhuous moisture to
drip away Now heat a flatiror until
1t is about the warmth required for
laundry work. Place the damp blot
ting paper over the dent and press
firmly with the iron. AS soon as the
paper dries examine the mark 1t
will then be found that the cavity has
filed up to a surprising extent Where
the dent Is very deep { second or even
a third application on the lines indi-
Gated might be tried. Sooner or later
even serious depressions can Ira wn
up, and most people who nave no;
tried this plan viii be surprised at she
result of the treatment Repolishing
viii clear away even the slight marks
that might finally remain

Democracy for Coed
Roads and Prosperity

"The Democratic national plat
form declares that the happi-
ness, comfort and prosperity of
rural life and the development
of the city are alike conserved
by the construction of public
highways We believe sincerely
in this. We recognize the lead
ership the national government
has given to the good roads
movement by the appropriation
of millions of dollars of national
aid, such appropriations to be
made to states conditionally, up
or the state governments vot-
ing state aid and state direc-
ton.
1--WE pledge ourselves to the
furtherance of this great work,
so necessary in the development
of our state, and will enact the
necessary legislation so that the
state itself will keep pace with
the increasing sentiment that is
manifested on every side in town
meetings throughout the state
of Wisconsin for better roads
and more of them, at the same
time keeping the expense of su-
pervision down to the lowest
point consistent with the eff.
cheney that should be required of
all public work; as a method to
more readily develop the various
resources of our state, we favor
the plan of continuous state
highways fairly distributed
throughout the state to consti-
tute the main arteries of the
road system. From The Demo
cratic State Platform.

GRADED AND FLOODED
STOCK SALES DAY
VIII Be Held at the Fair Grounds on
the 10th day of November.

The Sales Day for Marathon County
of Blooded and Graded Stock will be
held at the fair grounds on Thurs
day, the 18th day of November. he
date selected by the committee in
charge was Oct. 25th, but as the coun-
ty board will be in session on the
18th of November, it was thought best
to arrange the meeting for that time,
as it would assure an attendance from
every town in the county.
A county sales day, such as is de-
signed, for the sale of graded and
blooded stock, has been needed in this
county for many years. Such a day
has often been proposed, but the en-
thusiasm necessary to establish 1t
seemed to be lacking. The present
committee, composed of B. F. Wilson,
M. H. Duncan and H. G. F1ieth, have
worked out the details and Sales Day
in the future will be one of the big
events of Marathon county. Those
who have pure bred and graded cat
tie, horses, swine, ETC., have promised
to bring in plenty Of stock, so this
feature of the movement will be all
that can be desired.
The necessary thing now is for
everybody interested to cooperate and
make the event a success. Talk Sales
Day early and late; get out prospec-
tive buyers; induce owners of stock
to bring in all they have for sale;
it will necessitate much work and adj
vertising. On the first meeting de-
ponds a great deal, as at that time the
association will be organized. Sales
Day Ill many counties of our state is
an affair which means much to the adj
Vancement of a community, and a
great benefit to the farmer as well as
the people in general. Wausau has
ample accommodations for taking care
of movement of this kind. The fair
grounds is an ideal place for the sale;
IL mas DdruS anu SulIdDl0 DullulHSo
plenty of room for taking care OF
teams and automobiles.
1t behooves every live, progressive
man in the county to take a hand in
the movement to establish a sales day
in Marathon county, and to be on hand
at the fair grounds on the 18th day
of November.
M. H. Duncan has the matter of pro
viding a lunch on that occasion, which
means that no one will go hungry.
Remember the Graded and BloodeC
Stock Sales Day at the fair grounds or
November 10th. Talk for it; work fol
it, and be there to make it a success.

John G.. Reuteman, Democratic can
didate for state treasurer, has been for
years one of Wisconsin's most repre-
sentative business men. Mr.. Reuteman
was born near Zurich, Switzerland, and
came to Milwaukee with his parents
when he was two years old. Since
that time he has made Milwaukee his
home and has been prominently iden-
tilted since his early youth with every
movement that has had tendency to
promote the welfare of the city of Mil
waukee and the state of Wisconsin.
Reuteman has been successful in every
venture that he has undertaken, many
of them of great importance to the
city and state at large, and through
honesty and integrity and unusual
business ability he has built up the
largest and most fiourishing real es-
tate business in Wisconsin. For num-
Der of years he has been a member
of the firm of Richter, Dick & Route
man, the well known real estate firm
of Milwaukee. At the present time he
is secretary of the Atlas Mutual Build
ing and Loan Association of MilWau-
kee in which capacity he has demon
strated unusual executive ability and
energy whereby this organization has
been developed so that 1t is now one
| of the leading financial institutions of
| Milwaukee. Reutemans ancestors
have always been Democratic and
while he has continued for years to
manifest an interest in party affairs
he has never been an aspirant for po-
litical office. In 1910 he was appointed
| a member of the city election COM
mission of Milwaukee and served for
| six years, of which time he was chair
man for two terms. 1t was through his
untiring energy and knowledge of bust
ness affairs that the elections have
been reformed and simplified to the
extent that they are known at the
present time.
Mr. Reuteman's successful cOnnec-
| ton with many of Milwaukee and Wis
| consin's important financial ventures
| gives the voters of Wisconsin assur-
ance that no better man could be OBJ
| tanned for the office of state treasurer
and that he is the one man Wisconsin
has needed for a long time to re-
store efficiency in the state treasury.

big Business Rules;

'The Democracy of Wisconsin

The administration of govern

been disloyal to the highest and

Basis of Prosperity

"The basis of both prosperity
; and Democracy lies in our COM
mon schools. The Democratic
, party charges the present ad-
ministration with bad faith in
} reference to our educational sys-
TEN. Fair promises have been
} constantly made for the improve
ment of the schools of the people
and especially the rural schools,
but these promises have not
been kept or else fragmentary
and inefficient legislation has
been enacted as sop to public
opinion. Nothing can be eX-
pected in the way of a popular
education widely diffused over
the state, reaching every farm
and every factory with the Re
publican party in control. Its
professed interest is in higher
education in privately endowed
institutions unrelated to the
pressing social problems of the
day. 1t would have millionaires
control and finance the great ed
ucational interests OF the state.
Special privilege would be en-
trenched in our education sys-

our democracy. Whatever it has
stood for in the PAST, nothing can
be expected from the reactionary
Republican party now seeking
office in this state. We, the party

selves to work increasingly to the
end that education will be Of
fered to every boy and girl in the
