PAUL BROWN JUDD

: Paul Brown Judd, little SON of Mr.
and Mrs. Clarence Jhdd, was born
Sept. 8, 1915, and on the morning OF
July 9th, 1916 he passed into eternal
rest His stay with us was short
He won many friends, his loving dis.
position making him attractive with
all he met. He was a favorite of the
entire family. While we are deeply
grieved and mourn his loss, he sweet
ly sleeps in the arms of Jesus, where
no care or trouble will ever be his
While the sweet presence of Paul
Brown will be greatly missed, and we
are so much grieved we can say:
We shall meet again; sweet Paul,
In a brighter cline than this,
Where the anguish of this moment
Will be lost in perfect bliss.

every. American who votes this year
will first read, with care and open
mindedness, the acceptance speech of
Mr. Hughes. The American people still
retains its self respect and patriotism,
and Mr. Hughes may be left to his own
Interpretation to satisfy his fellow
citizens that he seems inadequate to the
present emergency. This is not time
for carpiEg criticism to find patient
listeners.
Mr. Hughes has failed to realize that
his speech is mainly addressed to mat
tiers that do not divide the people. The
support Of their government in a crisis
is not regarded as question of politics
Well known republicans of promi-
hence have said to me that they got no
enthusiasm out Of the Hughes speech.
One man whose name would be famil
lar to every public man in this state
said: Il don't see anything in Hughes
speech. My republican friends don't
agree with me but | have said for a
long time that can see only Wilson as

Poor Thackeray!

glimpse Of Thackeray:
''The sportsmen among whom l had
the honor to be numbered were Of the
Wrinkle order. Thackeray, Dickens,
John Beech, Jerrold, Lemon. Ibbotson,
were invited, and carriages were re-
served to Watford. AS we were start
ing a written excuse was brought from
Dickens to be conveyed to Mrs. x. by
Thacberay. The party drove up to the
house, and after compliments Thack-
cray delivered the billet The effect
was unpleasant. Mrs. x. fed along
the hall, and the guests heard her call
ing to the cook: Martin, don't roast
the ortolans. Mr.. Dickens isn't COM

TOLD IN FEW WORDS.
Some Famous Nominating Speeches In
Presidential Campaigns.

PRESIDENTIAL campaigns.
On the third day of the 1860 conven-
ton when other business had been dis
der Mr.. Evarts of New York in fewer
than thirty words presented William
II. Seward for the nomination. Mr..
Judd of Illinois was equally brief in
presenting Abraham Lincoln.
The names of William L. Dayton Of
New Jersey, of Simon Cameron of
Pennsylvania, of Salmon P. Chase of
Ohio, of Edward Bates of Missouri and
of John Mclean of Ohio were present
ed, but fewer than two dozen words
were used in any instance.
1t is not by elaborate and eloquent
nominating speeches that the choice Of
presidential candidates is determined.
The reasons influencing delegates are
Of a different character. But if
speeches must be made a reasonable
brevity will make them all the more
effective.
Two Of the best remembered nomi-
mating speeches ever made in a ma
tional convention were by Robert G..
Ingersoll for Blaine in 1876 and by
Daniel Dougherty nominating Hancock
in 18S0-one a Republican, the other a
Democrat-and neither speech occu-
pied more than ten minutes in delivery.

Washington, Aug. 9.-The senate

commerce in products of child labor.
The vote was 50 to II.
The measure, already passed by the
house, was brought to a vote in the

Elk Senator Hatton, candidate for

Both gentlemen have good records

some things in state politics they are
right, or nearly right. If they were
altogether right, they would be sup

a Candidate Without a Policy.

New York World: Mr. Hughes puts
his denunciation of President Wilson
into the scale against the record of
President Wilson's splendid achieve
ments and asks the American people to
choose. There ought not to be the
shadow of possibility Of doubt as to
their decision
The World recently expressed the
opinion that no civilized country in the
world would be insane enough at
time like this to overturn such gov
eminent as President Wilson has given
to the United States and embark upon
a sea of experiment. That conviction
is strengthened tenfold by Mr. Hughes's
speech. No intelligent man could by
any process Of the human mind find in
it one logical reason for putting Wood
row Wilson out Of the Presidency and
putting Charles e. Hughes in.
Mr. Hughes has spoken, and his
speech is an unanswerable argument
for the re- election of President Wilson.

Baraboo Democrat: "Acreculture' is good
word coined to express agriculture, markets,
good roads, good schools. churches, libraries,
stores, creameries, country clubs, in the COM
lnunity plan of intensive farming. The Demo-
crat believes in it, it has, is and expects to
preach it, and it expects to be right there doing
its share when "Acreculture" is complete re-
atty here in Sank county.
Springfield Republican: We know what Mr.
Wilson is, and what he probably would be in a
second term. At least he has been through the
fire. What Mr. Hughes would be and what
policies both in foreign and domestic affairs,
he would most actively and forcefully pro-
mote-as to all this which is vital, his speech
leaves us more in the dark than in the light.

in President Wilson and will support Demo-

stand by Wilson and his policies.

INADEQUATE TO THE PRESENT
EMERGENCY.

Ellis B, Usher good judge, thinks
that Candidate Hughes is inadequate to
the present emergency. Here is the
way Mr.. Usher puts it:
Polonius-What do you read my lord?
Hamlet-Words, words, words.
Not words merely, but that "choice
word and measured phrase, above the
reach of ordinary men" So Ameri-
cans must have felt as they finished
the sonorous and carefully marshalled
phrases of the acceptance speech of
Candidate Hughes. Such capacity and
endurance with the operation of a lit
erary catapult charged with words of
three to five syllables, had rarely been
witnessed. Mr. Wilson may be "a
phrase maker but he is at least
'handy" about it and does not appear
to engage in great physical exertion to
accomplish his purpose. Mr. Hughes
makes one feel that he had prepared, "
with infinite labor, to be very impress
sive.
He says early, We know that we
are in critical period, perhaps more
critical than the Civil war" and then
he goes to it in fierce frenzy of
resounding polysyllables. Take this
short sentence as a sample: 'Decry-
ing interference we interfered most
exasperatingly. That is only a
breath from the column of criticism of
the administration dealings with
Mexico. Every phase of its progress,
every swell of the torrent of his
passion, aronses him to new dithy-
rambic ardor.
No one can help being reminded of
the sad refrain Of the Democratic plat
form of 1864, which declared that
latter four years of failure to restore
the union everything about the Lin
coin administration was in shameful
disregard of the administration to its
duty"
1t is to be hoped, sincerely, that
