THE CLOUD IS HANGING LOW.

The cloud that is hanging over the democratic administration Is getting darker as the day of election approaches and th edemocrahc office holders are getting gloomy. Desperation if not teSpondency Is written in their faces. Some manage to keep a Semblanoe of smile that is pitiful to cont empate, IL is almost an exact re production of the smile on the face of patient sufferer who knows that his time is short and tries to resign himself to his fate. And the un- n,erciful republicans keep prodding them with ,horns made out of their delinQuencieS. Isn't that awfuls That's cruelty to animals, sure enough,

have succumbed to the long

plants, from which these came

H. j. Hagge, secretary and manager
of the Employers Mutual Liability In
surance company of this city, on being
interviewed, made the following state
ment:
Our company is engaged in the
business of insuring employers of la
Dor against work accidents sustained
by employees in the course of their
employment. Our operations extend
throughout the entire state of Wis
cOnsin, and our policies cover approx
imately fifteen hundred places of en-
plOyment, covering practically every
line of industry in the state. Since
the premium on liability policies is
based on payroll expenditures, our
premium income is an excellent bar
Ometer of the business conditions in
the state.
During the early part of 1915, the
payrOlls were running considerably
lower than during the previous years,
but this condition has been changing
very rapidly. Plants that were run
ming on part time and short crews,
are now taking on additional men and
working over time. Reports we are
receiving from all sections of the state
are most encouraging.
There can be no question but what
