WILSON'S POLICY PEACE HOPE FOR
 THE NEW WORLD
Editor Says Hughes De. mands Reverts to the Out
 worn Code of Old.

New York, Oct. 14vEllery Sedg. wick, editor of The Atlantic Monthly and a former follower of Gov Hughes has made the following statement, an- swering publicly the question, "Why are you for Wilson,"
 "Mr. Wilson's foreign policy of pa- tience and of peace gives hope for the New World. MT. Hughess pale re- flection of Colonel Roosevelt's de- mands reverts to the outworn code of the Old. Despite fine talk of na- tional honor, this has an evil signifi- canoe. I solemnly believe that MT, Hughes's election entails inevitable war with the Mexican people.
 "At home MT. Wilson has kept ev- cry promise. MT. Hughes will not even make promises to keep.
 Silently but sedulously MT. Hughes coddles the Standardization vote. The support behind him is composed of violent opposites. Such campaign excites neither my sympathy nor my respect"

HUCHES'i SMILE
 MRS. FRAzELLE' WILL NOT TRUST
Suffrage Leader Says His Promise to Women a
 Hollow One.

New York. Oct. 14.-Mrs. o. H. F. Belmont, who underwrote and under took to raise the $500,000 campaign fund for use, in the Womanls party campaign in behalf of Charles E. Hughes, has received the following letter from Mrs. Emma Haley Frazelle a suffrage leader of Multnomah, Ore:
 T was born a Republican, and the tariff question made me favor that party for years. Now that the tariff is to be handled by 8 commission, l must decide for the best man in the future. f->N
 E T can't trust the Hughes smile. feel that his promise to the women is only a hollow promise. made with the knowledge that. he would not have to sign a suffrage amendment until it had first passed the house and senate; a most unlikely occurrence were the Penroses and the Shoots once more in control. -' s.l
 "President Wilson has made us no answer which he cannot carry out. In other words, he has been perfectly honest with us. I, therefore, prefer tO nolp tHe CAUSE OA OAC Who AAoAAS out no false hopes.
 "The suffrage amendment we de- sire to be drafted was in congress when Taft and Roosevelt were in power. They were Republicans and did nothing; and Hughes in his prom ise is only playing for the women's vote.
 "I will do my campaign work for wilson, the honest. In this State the majority of the women are standing for Wilson, and the suffrage cause has lost many of it's best workers be- cause of the foolishness of the Con- gressional union and the Woman's party in trying to throw the Oregon womeyl's votes to Hughes.
 "You are definitely injuring the cause of suffrage among Oegon wo- men. We will never again work to- gether as we did before this split. which you and your followers have forced upon us.
 "You are causing the same split in other States, and, therefore you have gi~en suffrage the greatest setback that 1t dould be given. It will take at least no years of hard work by the saner women to overcome the blow you have given suffrage in trying to force your candidate for President upon us by the expenditure of cash.
 ''Women, ideal women, want man to be elected for some better reason than the mere expenditure of cash"
 In conclusion Mrs. Frazelle express es to Mrs. Belmont the hope that you and your followers may again re- turn to the real suffrage cause and forget party"

BOSTON AUTHOR
 HAS PRAISE FOR WOODROW WILSON
Mrs. Lucia Ames Meade
 Will Aid Return of President.

New York, Oct 14.-Mrs. Lucia
 Ames Meade of BoSton, has announc-
 ed her support of President Wilson for reelection. Mrs. Meade is !Secre- tary of the National Woman's Peace
 Party, former President of the Massa- chusetts Suffrage Association and joint
 author with Jane Addams and Fannie Fern Andrews of "Overthrow of the
 War System.'' In giving her reasons
 for supporting the President, she says: T believe MT. Wilson has done
 more than any Iother President for
 many administrations to compel spe- cia1 privilege to take its hand out of
 the peoples pocket, and he has helped
 to rescue democracy, which is to-day
 imperilled in every land. Having an international mind,, he has kept us
 from two colossal blunders in foreign
 policy.
 We have not entered on the clean ing up process of a poor, weak nation,
 which, as Gen. Leonard Wood declar-
 ed, would cost us fifteen years, of gue- rilla warfare and would require 6OO,- 900 soldiers before we finished it. It would cost us also the goodwill and
 much of the trade of all Latin .Amer- ica-
 "He has kept us from war in Flu rope, which would have instantly end ed all our relief work and have left
 millions to starve. His attitude of po- litical neutrality followed all prece- dent and for this he has suffered
 shameful abuse, as did Washington, Jefferson, Adams and Lincoln for sim liar conduct.
 "Mr. Hughes, despite his following of good citizens, cannot be considered apart from the powerfulaand danger ous influences that are behind him. Among them are the men who want to force conscription upon the safest people in the world. in nation which
 has never yet been attacked since it became Republic and which has never asked government to arbitrate and been refused. "At this most critical time in hu-
 man history, let us not change pi- lots.''

HISTORY OF LEBANON.
Interesting Story Written by DIR. w. T.
Whyte on Early Life.

In the annual volume of proceedings
which the State Historical Society of
Wisconsin has just published Dr. w.
F. Whyte, of this city, a member of
the State Board of Health, writes in
terestingly of the founding of the town
of Lebanon.
Because they dissented from the doc
trines of the established church many
Lutherans were subjected to civil per-
secution in Prussia during the first
half of the nineteenth century. Be
cause of this, in the spring of 1843 a
party of neighbors from the Oderbruch
determined to migrate to western
America.
They selected for their future home
the vicinity of WATERFOWL, and to it

Resolve That the City SeaIer Is With
out His Authority in
His Stand.

| At a meeting of the members OF
! the Inter County Holstein association
held at the City Hall, WATERFOWL, on
Saturday, April 20, final statement
of money received and disbursed in
connection with the sale held recent
ly by that organization was given out
The exact total for 152 head sold was
$3O,575, or an average of over 5000.
The subject relative to employing
county agent was discussed, and
acted upon favorably. One business
man present introduced a novel idea
that of converting the present High
school building into an inter-county
agricultural school.
The proposition relative to the cree
ton of sale pavilion was also dwelt
upon, with the result that F. G. Leh-
mann, W. H. S. Rhoda and Sid. Ran
dali were appointed committee to
investigate the projected move and
report at the next meeting.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, The business men of
Watertown have at all times mani
tested a most generous and broad
minded spirit and cooperation
toward movements inaugurated by
this association; and
Whereas, 1t is our bounden duty
to reciprOcate in the fullest
measure possible to such friendly
attitude on the part of business
men,
Be 1t Resolved, That this as

munity, to adopt in its fullest
significance the tradeat-home
slogan, which must needs make

Whereas, The city sealer has

a free, open, competitive market;

against one of the various
staples sold in the city of Water

Be 1t Resolved, That this asso-

From the start the settle

Lebanon. From the start the settle
ment prOspered.
1t is interesting to note that reli-
gious controversy did not cease with
the migration to the Land of the
Free. Adherents of the State church
attempted to renew in America the
hateful domination to escape which
the settlers had fled from Prussia.
Factions sprang up among the liberals
themselves, and long feuds were
waged over such weighty questions
as the use Of the violin in the paro-
chial school. But these quarrels did
not, apparently, stay the material
progress of the community which re-
mains today one of the garden spots
of Wisconsin.
