GEN. wINKLER COMMENDED

Wisconsin, democrats, q state con-
Veution at Milwaukee September %,
passed the Following meritorious
resolutions:
THAT the democratic party, in
convention assembled, feels that its
deliberations would not be complete
did it not pause TO take official note
of the noble and patriotic act of Gen.
+. G. Winkler, who, rising above
political considerations, out OF mo.
tive Of pure patriotism, has gwen
public notice OF his support Of Presi-
dent Wilson and communicated with
the president and informed him of
that fact. Gen. Winkler is a veteran
Of the civil war, with record on the
battlefield which has enrolled his
name as one of the foremost sons Of
Wisconsin, who fought to save the
| union. A life long republican, man
! whom his party has conferred honors
upon, yet despite all these ties, when
the moment for putting patriotism
above partisanship arose, he did not
falter, but unhesitatingly placed him-
self in that class of distinguished
men who are standing back of Presi-
| dent Wilson in this critical hour,
when the future history OF this coun.
try is to be written. We offer this
little tribute to this distinguished ed
veteran, this splendid citizen, this
high minded patriot, representing as
we do the democratic party of
the state of Wisconsin.

DIGNITY AND STUMPING

Why all the bother about Mr.. Will
son and stumping? Why should he
not stump if the voters want to hear
him? What is undignitied about
president rendering an account of his
stewardship in that way? Nonsensel
AS a matter OF fact, the President
will begin to stump Saturday. He
VIII deliver stump speech at Shadow
Lawn by appointment. A meeting
has been arranged, and the party
managers hope fora large attendance.
Those who attend will expect to hear
reasons given why they should help
the cause for extending Mr.. Wilson'S
time in the White House, and the
speaker will give all the reasons he
can command. How will that differ
from ordinary stumping except that
the crowd will have come to the
stumper?
Monday President and Candidate
Wilson will go to Baltimore to ad-
dress the National Grain Dealers
convention, business body. He will
not talk politics, of course But his
presence IN town will lead thousands
of others to discussions of politics,
with special reference to his candi-
dacy, and hence the trip will be in
part political. 1t could not be other
wise.
Other trips are being arranged, the
number of which will depend on re-
ports about the Hughes tours. Mr..
Mccormick and his lieutenants are
keeping we'll informed about the re-
publican meetings, and if they should
think advisable to show their man in
like fashion he will not fail them.
Everything has political end and
meaning at present. Candidate Will
| son is as eager for votes as Candidate
! Hughes. He has record to explain
his opponents say to defend. 1t
does not explain itself. There are
many features that puzzle. His sup
porters are busy, but not one of them
can give the subject the touches he
can. Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Clark are
his best assets, but neither indorses
the record in its entirety. Mr.. Bry-
an is heart and soul against prepar-
edness, while Mr.. Clark stoutly op-
posed the repeal of the law passing
American coastwise ships free
through the Panama canal. MT.
Wilson, necessarily, stands for every
step that has been taken.

ROTTEN ADMINISTRATIONS



Worst Ever Seen in the United
States.
Sionx Fa)Is, Sept. 25 There is no
possible t9aot but that the present
and the past republican state govern.
ment III the state of South Dakota, at
least for six years, is the most cor
rupt, rotten and contemplate Of all
the governments Of any state north
of Mason and Dixon's line.
For instance, we have had Craw
ford, Vessey and Byrne, and during
their administrations 800 new laws
were passed and the emergency clause
was attached to over 800 of them
Much of this new legis lation was
special legislation, granting priyi-
leges, comforting fayors, wasting
money.
One of the laws they passed com
PEELED surety companies to deposit
$50 600 in securities or move ont of
the state and the same law provided
that no suretey company should do
| business in this state without at
least 5000 capital This law was
enacted for the special benefit of the
Interstate Surety company, of Red
field their capital being just over
$40, 600. The stockholders of this
Rediield company were ex Attorney
General Clark, Peter Noroeck, now
candidate for governor, and Claude
Sterling, And to make this business
still moro profitable they provided
that the bonds Of county treasurers
taken out in surety companies should
be paid for by the county and, to
make it still more contemplate,
Norbeck then a senator who profit
ed very largely by this legislation,
voted against it. He would be far
more fit as candidate for governor
if he had come out boldly aud adgocat-
ed this measure from which he has
been deriving great benefit ever since
rather than sneak under cover and
vote against it.
When it comes to "a question OF
revenue it is we'll to note that the
state appropriations for the four
years between 1903 and 1906, inclu-
sive, were $2, 593 900 The appropria
tions for the last four years; that is,
from 1918 to 1916, we're 81 900, 600
four and half millions m ore thar
for the previous period of folr years
In addition, during the last -four
years the administration secured
nearly two millions more from
schemes, licenses, etc, besides mnl,
, tiplying Offices to take care Of their
, henchmen.
; Now, the farmers and laOorers OF
South Dakota pay more than 80 pei
cent Of the taxes and have more thar
so per cent of the votes. Isn't il
about time that they united aud TO oil
possession of the government of th.
state and restored it to the peop Il
, rather than allow it to remain in tn,
hands of the miserable gang of graf
ers who are passing legislation to g *
ploit everybody? Why not organic
: a non partisan political league, have
a paid membership and amend the
