WILSON WANTS WOLFE" WHY ?

From the Milwaukee Free Press Of Oct. s,
which has of late years displayed oppo-
sitlon to LaFollette through money
powered influence,
The issue presented by the candi-
dacy Of William f. Wolfe for the
| United States senate is absurdly sim
pie.
1t is whether the people of Wiscon-
sin want to double the kind of repre-
sentation which Paul Q. Husting is
giving them at Washington.
Mr. Wolfe may be the peer of Mr..
Husting in point of ability, but in the
matter of national policy he occupies
exactly the same ground as the present
Democratic senator.
William f. Wolfe stands shoulder to
shoulder with Paul 0. Husting and the
! Wilson administration against the major
sentiment of his commonwealth.
It is charged that Senator La Fol-
lette has on occasions supported Demo
cratic measures. 1t is predicted that,
| if reelected, he could not be trusted
unwaveringly to support Republican
administration.
The senator's independence of party
control has been SO long in evidence
that it's emphasis at this time seems
somewhat beside the mark. The fact
remains that Senator La Toilette is
anything but slavish adherent OF
Wisconsin like Mr.. Wolfe, and that,
in the main. he has been a supporter
of Republican politics, which Mr.. Wolfe
would never be
But what is of special Importance &c
Wisconsin at this time is Senator La
FolIette's vigorous opposition TO those
WiIsonian policies of which Mr. Wolfe
Fundamentally approves, but which
a majority of states population con-
dennis. That is, Senator La Toilette
has consistently and effectively fought
for making the foundations of our
peace surer, the operation of our neu-
trahty more genuine and the character
of our trade clean of the curse of
blood.
Do the people of Wisconsin wish to
duplicate the influence of Husting in
the United States senate, or do they
wish to retain the influence of LaFol-
lette in that important body
That is the clear-eut issue represent
ed by the candidacy of William F.
Wolfe.

FARMERS SIZE UP HUGHES
AS PRETTY GOOD FELLOW"

Fargo. n p.--Charles z. Hughes
campaI-ned for the first time among
the sturdy farmers of the eastern part
OF North Dakota end left behind him
the reputation Of being pretty good
fellow"
He was forced 10 undergo a critical
scrutiny before the verdict was given.
MIR. Hughes preached the doctrines
OF government efficiency, American
ism, tariff as protection to the farm
ers and preparedness. and In each In
stance won applause, despite the fact
that the farmers are not the strong
est advocates o. the last named issue.
They cheered for preparedness the
ioufeSt when MIR. Hughes told them
thar II meant not mllltarism, but abil-
ity to uphold national honor.
AS they cheered for Mr.. Hughes,
one hroad-Shonldered old farmer said
'Ht's because there's something about
him that makes you believe he's tell
ing the truth"

To understand how the Republican
party made this country great. so back
to It's platform OF 1860 There you will
find the fundamental principles upon
which the Republican party was found
ed, upon which it won it's first national
victory and placed in the presidential
chair the first Republican president,
Abraham Lincoln That platform de-
clared, first, for the preservation OF
the union; second, for human liberty
and human freedom; third for the en-
enlargement of foreign immigration
fourth, for free homestead law; fifth,
for government aid in the construction
Of transcontinental railway; and
sixth, for a protective tariff policy.
And Charles AZ Hughes, who is this
year carrying the same banner as Lin
coin carried, is generally conceded to
possess more Of the traits and ability
OF Lincoln than any other candidate for
the presidency since the time of the
martyred hero.

If the Republican party in its fifty
years of management Of this govern
ment has proved itself as standing for
anything, it is growth in praiseworthy

duction of our industries; growth in

growth in the amount Of Injuries with

in the number Of our schools and

A Farmers Fire League

In Farm and Fireside is an ac-
count of a fire-fighting organization
of farmers that might advantageous
| ly be put in force throughout the
United States:
cat Oakdale, a rural district in
California, the frequent forest fires
! were a constant menace to settlers.
1t was a well-timbered section, and
owing to its beauty, campers were
numerous during the pleasant wea-
Their.
!! Zone fall, after an unusual amount
of destruction had been caused by
| fires, the Farmers Fire League was
formed A social was given which
everyone attended, and the first
funds for the society were raised.
Axes, long-handled rakes, and hoes,
besides other implements, were pro-
cured and distributed at the various
small shacks built as fire-fghting
stations in convenient places. On a
high hill they established lookout
and the simplest of telephone sys-
tens, also comprehensive code of
signals. At the first appearance of
fire, notice was given all along the
line and the league members from
far and near rallied at the danger
points. When necessary, day and
night brigades were formed.
Year by year the league has
grown in efficiency. Since it's begin
ming in the autumn of 1912, losses
by fire have been comparatively
small, and there is a feeling of Sc
curity which was formerly absent"
