STANDEMAYER'S STORY.

George Staudemayer of Portage was
elected to the state senate two years
ago. Both before and after election he
stood for tax reduction. He supposed
that he was of one mind with Governor
Philip. and at the opening of the legis-
lative session turned in with tae ad-
ministration to do as he supposed, team
work in the interests of the tax payers.
But Senator Staudemayer soon found
out that he was harnessed up with men
who regarded tax reduction as a pre-
election romance, and he unhitched
himself from them as soon as possible.
Last week he contributed to The Bara
boo Democrat an able letter describing
his unsatisfactory partnership with the
Tories, and his work for good govern
ment after he became disillusioned.
Here is part of his story:
It is far easier to lead than to drive
me, bat | can neither be led nor driven
to vote to abolish the Reference Libra
ry the individual boards OF the Uni
versity and Normal Schools, the three
eighths mill tax for the University, the
one sixth mill tax for the Normal
schools, the Income Tax, the Corrupt
Practices Act, the Primary Election
Law, nor to place the Bolrd Of Health

THE DEPOT QUESTION.

On the first page of The Democrat, in
letter from the Railroad Commission
of Wisconsin, addressed to Senator
Plat Whitman of Highland, appears
a suggestion in regard to the depot
controversy in Mineral Point. The
suggestion is disappointing. 1t is a
plain, outstanding fact that the public
safety demands thu relocation of the
railway station in this city. This fact,
we think, cannot be gainsaid.. And the
suggestion of the Railroad Commission
that they have not power to change the
location of the highway near the depot
is beside the mark. AS we understand
the matter, they have power to change
the location of the depot building; and
this they ought to do. We believe that
right down in the bottom of their
hearts the commissioners, all of whom
have been here and looked over the sit
uation feel that they ought to so order
The people of Mineral Point ought to
stand firm in their demand for a better
railway station and safer grounds of
anOroach

along with the charitable and penal in
selected by the present Governor and
designated a Board of Public Welfare,
against the expressed wish and advice
of every medical man il my district.
If the administration of Governor
Philip had redeemed his pledges, he
,:oulu not now need to apologize to the
voters for its failure. He had a clear
majority in the Assembly and enough
Democrats would have voted with him
in the Senate, had his administration
bills conformed 10 his campaign utter
ances. If the appropriation bills were
loaded, as he claims for the purpose of
making his administration a failure,
he had the veto power; he could and
should have used it, instead of acting
as if every legislator was nine spot to
be played as the Governor desired. We
were responsible to the people, as we'll
as he was; he, however, never vetoed
an appropriation bill, and only four
bills altogether, | believe, namely, the
anti tipping bill, a bill to allow saloons
to open after the polls were closed on
election day, a bill to place the manage
ment of the industrial school for girls
under the state board of control and
the Stemper bill as first passed, which
was afterwards approved by him in a
still more vicious form.
In conclusion | wish to add that the
fact that Emanuel L. Philip was
elected Governor in 1914, and renomin
ated this year, under the present
Primary Election law, is surely con-
vincing that the present law is funda-
mentally and absolutely wrong, and it
should be amended, but not by return
to the old boss ridden caucus system
recommended by Governor Philip.

Peace or War.
President

Springfield Republican: President
Wilson's assertion, in his speech Satur-
day, that republican success in Novem-
Der means that I'VE shall be drawn, in
one form or another, into the embroil-
ments of the European war; was fully
justified by the character of the crit
cism to which his policy has been sub
jected. It is time that the American
people seriously considered the pros
poets of peace under Wilson and under
Hughes during the four years to come
All other issues are negligible COM
pared with this one. It is because of
the real danger OF unnecessary EN-
broilments in the European struggle,
in case the anti Wilson party should
succeed at the polls, that The Republi-
can at this stage of the contest asserts
the Hughes candidacy to be a peril to
the nations ultimate security and
menace to it's legitimate right to alb
stain from Europe's wars.

that the governments of all foreign ma
tons are watching the presidential con-.
test, and that no important diplomatic
negotiation between our government
and a government abroad is longer
possible until the peoples verdict on
the Wilson administration shall be rem
dered at the polls. The Mexican nego-
tiations are virtually suspended until
the Mexicans know what party is to be
the future power in Washington. The
British government will not proceed
toward definite commitments regarding
the pending protests of our government
on issues of international law until the
election discloses the fate of Wilson. In
foreign lands everywhere the home at
tacks on the presidents policies are
perfectly familiar, and it is we'll under :.
stood that, no continuity of American
foreign policy can be expected as the
result of republican victory.

The Game OF of"

Milwaukee Journal: IF it hadn't
been for the war;" quoted Vice Presi-
dent. Marshall, !" this country would
have gone to destruction. and if it
doesn't elect Republican administra
ton, it will be doomed to adversely
from completion with the labor of the
manned unfortunates who return after
Europe's awful scourge.' That way I
could if you out of the house and to
your homes and through your years to
your graves"
Nothing better illustrates the homely
common sense of the vice president.
The tariff is discussed by men who
have to build their house of ''ifs," and
the ifs don't rhyme we'll with the facts
in the record. There was no war in
1907 and no Democratic tariff, but
still we had hard times and millions
out of work and soup houses and all
the rest. There was no Democratic
currency legislation either, and so hard
times became panic and men were
glad to get paper currency that might
be valuable and might not, and the re-
covery was long and slow. But the
''ifs" blossom even more notably in
this campaign than ever before. Mr.
Roots speech is full of them There
are only two ifs that are really neg
lected and they are eff we had been in
Office, we should have done thus and
So" there is an if that gets little notice
And the other is IF you elect Mr.
Hughes, he will do" Here are two
neglected ''ifs.''
The applause and laughter that
greeted the vice president at every
turn showed clearly enough that the
campaign is being listened to with
both ears. Il is good year for man
to get out and remind people that even
Europe's cataclasm need not destroy
the evidence of our senses, that the old
principle of knowing men and measures
by their fruits is still in force Mr.
Marshall's great ontribution-and it is
very real contributions in pointing
an unanswered question at the men
who deal in criticism and in 'ifs"

at stake, it is fact of no little interest
that the most forceful arguments pre-
sented on either side have been made
not by active party leaders but by two
men of former generation of public
affairs and supposedly past their years
of political activity. 1t is curiously to
Richard Olney, now eighty one years
of age, and Charles w. Eliot, eighty

LaFollettes speech at Dodgeville Tues

fairly we'll filled with people, and the
speaker seemed to be fit; but the room
was cold. and the audience seemed to
be rather cold and unresponsive. Only

applause, and it came when Senator

the late Col. William F. Villas for his
great service to the cause of public
education; and it came from loyal

STEEL RAILS TO ADVANCE
Price Is Expected to Go Up Shortly

New York, April 6.-What will
mark an historic event in the steel
trade, an advance in the price Of
steel rails, is confidently expected
in trade circles to take place shortly.
The base price of rails has stood at
$2S ton for more than fifteen years,
fixed at about the time the United
States Steel Corporation was organ
lied in 1901.
Judge Ebert H. Gary, chairman
of the corporation, today issued a
statement, saying present prices
would be maintained until May l.,
but no commitments would be made
beyond that date. The announce
ment was generally taken to indi-
cate that such an advance was con-
templated.
Railroads lately have been order
ing rails almost year in advance.
In March rail mills took orders for
total of 1900 tons.

MAY TEST GROUP SECTION
OF THE PRIMARY LAW

Jacksonville, April 6 Probabil-
tiles are that the group provision of
the present primary law will be at
tackled with a view of having it de-
clared unconstitutional
Certain people who are interested
in the campaign approaching are of
the opinion that the provision of the
primary bill which makes candidates
for the legislature, where there are
two to be elected from the same
county, as well as other offices where
the same applies, does not always
permit man to vote for his choice
in both cases and that therein he is
deprived of his constitutional rights.
Considerable dissatisfaction has
been expressed in many Quarters at
the group system of running candi-
dates when there are two or more
to be elected for the same office, and
it is now confidentially expected that
legal action will be taken in an ef-
fort to have the question OF the con-
stitutionality decided before the pri-
mary election.

tional the election of members of the
