WINKLER TO Give
WILSON SUPPORT
WiscOnsin's Leading German-Ameri-
can to Vote Democratic Ticket
First Time Since 1860.

Milwaukee, Sept. 29.-"I am deeply
persuaded that no man in the presi-
Dental chair could, with safety to our
country, have pursued a substantially
different course from that of President
Wilson, or have conducted it with
fewer errors. His course. founded on
the acknowledged principles OF inter
national law, has been just and impair
tial to all warning nations" This is
the statement of General r c. Wink
Ter, Wisconsin's leading German
American, ana one Of the best known
Germans in the United States. He has
voted the republican ticket since 1860.
THE last three years have been a
strenuous period for the president of
the United States" General Wink
Ter continued The responsibilities
thrown upon him, the difficulties and
perplexing questions which have be-
set him have far exceeded those of
any other living man on this cOntin-
emit He was president of the United
States Every step ne took every
move he made, had to be viewed from
the standpoint of that high office. The
rules of international law and laws of
his country were his inevitable guide
The maintenance Of the rights and
peace of his country and the protec-
=
aims. To the discharge of these du-
ties President Wilson brought I'M
questioned devotion, very great abil-
ity and steady firmness of judgment,
coupled with the moderation becoming
to his great office. And with success.
While the most frantic Of wars in
wolves all Europe the United States
and all its inhabitants are in the
full enioyme nt Of peace.
we are still in the thrOes Of the
European conflict and also in struggle
for a modus vivendi with Mexico. In
both cases the cause OF America IS in
the hands of its president While he
is in undoubted good faith bending all
his energies to maintain our rights,
our industries and our honor, should
we not stand by him and sustain his
hands?
"By throwing him out Of Office and /
putting an untried man in his place
to take up his work anew, do we en- /
hance the strength and prestige OF our
country? Do we proclaim to those
with whom we have controversies that /
we are an unstable lot, likely to undo /
tomorrow what we have labOTiously /
accomplished today? Are we ma
ton?
Il am moved to stand aloof from /
party and pledge my support for the /
reelection of Woodrow Wilson"

The Food Dierers

Chicago's diet squad has proved that
despite the high costs of foodstuffs it is
possible to live we'll and grow fat on
food which costs forty cents day or
less.
A good deal of fuss has been made over
this experiment, which proves what has
already been known to most people; that
is, it is possible to get along nicely on a
diet of cheap selected foodstuffs which
have a large nutritiye value. Millions of
people in the world live year in and year
out on far less food than the Chicago
dieters had. The Chinese, for instance,
satisfy their needs on a handful Of rice,
while some of the people of India manage
to live for years without single square
meal. A couple of college girls out West
lived for a number of weeks on peanuts,
ano DR.. Tanner proved that it was pos
sible for human being to live for sever
al months on nothing.
The Chicago experiment proves moth
ing special except that it is possible for
a person to live on mighty little food-if
he wants to. Ordinarily he does not
want to.

Spelling, Also

Gov. Ferris of Michigan, IN an address
before a recent State Teachers Associa-
ton, deplored the presence of fads in the
present system of American education
and urged more attention to the funda-
mentals, reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic.
To these rudementary three RS he might
have added spelling. Not the spelling of
Andrew Carnegie or Theodore Roosevelt.
The simplfied style of spelling was dis
covered by the youth of the land long be-
fore these two eminent publieists thought
oft. The kind of spelling needed is the
old-fashioned Webster pictorial, undi-
luted and undifiled.

Hogan For Judge

The Franklin county bar has unani-
mously endorsed George NJ. Hogan of St.
Adams for position on the bench of the
Vermont court. Mr.. Hogan is AZ years
old, son of the late Chas. M. Hogan
and one of the leading attorneys OF
Franklin county. He is well read law
yer and in every way well fitted for a
position on the bench. The fact that
Franklin nor Grand Isle counties have
no representation on the supreme or
superior benches is claim made by that
section for representation in the state
Judiciary. There is no doubt but that
Mr.. Hogan would prove an excellent
man on the bench and no mistake would
be made in his selection.
