DEPARTMENT.

E. Wheaton of the Democratic State
Central committee, declared yester:-
day in explaining why the nation will
repudiate the Republican candidate
Nov. 7th. 'For five months,'' Mr..
Wheaton continued, " the American
jury has been listening to the evil
dence of the Republican candidate but
so far there is nothing but an indict-
ment including charges of too sweep
ing a nature to merit consideration.
Hughes has failed to make a case
something all good lawyers must do to
win verdict. He has not convinced
the American people,
Never in the history of politics has
there been such sudden and such a
complete change Of sentiment from
one candidate to another as was OBJ
served in Minnesota last week as the
voters began to Chamber onto the Will
son bandwagon. Thousands switched
their allegiance from Hughes to Will
son within few DAYS, according to
the most reliable polls and reports.
Counties that have always gone G..
o. P. before will this .year be demo-
cratic.
One morning three months ago,
Chairman F. E. Wheaton of the Dem
ocratic State Central committee had
an inspiration. On receipt of this in
SEPARATION, he said minnesota for
Wilson, Friends humored him at
first, thinking it was some harmless
mental ailment that would soon pass
away. But the inspiration grew so
rapidly that it soon assumed the pro-
portion of firm conviction. Wheat
on's faith never faltered from that
day to this. Friends who humored
him when he first made his prediction
are assuring him they had agreed with
him all along.
Friday nights meeting in Duluth
was one of the mightiest political
demonstrations ever held in the state.
Judge Albert Nortoni of st. Louis
who was appointed to the federal
bench by Theodore Roosevelt in 1904
and who resigned this summer to work
for Wilson, was the principal speak
er. Daniel w. Lawler, julius Thor
son and Thomas P. Dryer also adj
dressed the monster throng. The
meeting was preceded by great par
ade and loads of red-fre were burned.
It was an old-time political night The
meeting came as the elimination of a
three day trip over the range by Law
Ter, Dwyer and Thorson
And now after several months deep
thought and study, the judge advo-
cate general Of the U s army has an
nounced to palpitating world that
we are at WARMTH whom? You ask.
Why, with Mexico,he swears Is war
getting so scientific and secret nova
days that it requires a distinguished
jurist to tell whether we are fighting
or at peace?
AS predicted in many quarters, the
Republican National committee has
poured gigantic barrel of money in
tosHMinnesota the last week of the
eahpaign in a last desperate attempt
to save the state for Hughes. Mime
apolis and st. Paul are flooded with
the bulk of the money. Billboards
newspaper advertising and paid work
ers have been bought at an outlay Of
thousands Of dollars in pathetic at
tempt to prove that Woodrow Wilson,
the president of ALL THE PEOPLE,
should be defeated.

The editorial, which is one Of the
strongest written during the cam

"On Roosevelt's Train, st. Louis,
Oct. 10: Col. Roosevelt, nettled by
Were for Wilson cries at Living
ston, KY, when he was trying to make
speech, finally shouted: "That'
right, shout for Wilson if you re too
proud to fight and if the Lusitania
sinking doesn It make your corpuscles
tingle.'' Then he went inside his
car, refusing to continue his attempt
to address the throng.''
This from the lips Of Roosevelt,
who is today and who has been for
two weeks the virtual campaign man.

people. It is particularly interesting

RIGHT, SHOUT FOR WILSON IF
YOU'RE TOO PROUD TO FIGHT

ponder the above sentence and ponder
well. The Colonel "lets the cat out
of the bag'' and tells us point blank
that had he or Hughes been president
at the time the Lusitania was sunk
this country would have resented the
sinking by. declaring war. He tells
us further, "SHOUT FOR WILSON

FTGHT' and what does that signify9
Just this: eff Wilson is retained in
the chair you don It want to fight, but
if you have Hughes or myself you
have got to fight" and that's all
there is to it. It is abolutely unde-
niable after reading the Colonel's
own words delivered at Lexington,
KY. There is no denying the fact
that Hughes has endorsed the state
