The Winnebago City Enterprise
sizes up a good citizen about right in
the following:
Our understanding of a good citi-
zen Is a man who is ever ready and
willing to assume his share of the
work for the common good of the
community in which he resides. He
is willing at all times to dig in his
pocket and pay what he can afford to
pay for public improvements. This
he will do without kick. He Is al
ways boosting his home town, and
presenting its most favorable side to
the outside world. He is a good fel-
low" not only down town on the
street, but to his family within his
home. He pays his taxes without
making such roar about it that peo-
pie think paying taxes is original with
him. He takes pride In keeping his
premises neat and tidy. He is toler-
ant In his religious views and is free
from bigotry. He believes in living
and letting the other fellow live. He
is free from avarice and jealousy and

Keep Your Eyes Open! Keep
Your Mind Open! Don't
Go Into the Presidential
Primary and Handcuff
Yourselves!

FRIENDS listen to sound piece of advice.
and then think it over before you decide.
Events are happening fast nobody can tell
what another month will bring forth, either
IN our relations with Europe, our relations
with the Papacy, our relations with Mexico,
or our relations with the Barons Of Special
Privilege.
1t is too soon for you to let any political
bosses put their handcutfS on you.
You entitled to your freedom, until you
can see clearly what the Powers that be are
up to.
Don't allow selfish office holders, and Of
fce-seekers to take snap Judgment against
you.
AS an elector and part ruler of this Re-
public, your responsibilities are tremendous
Ii you were on a jury, you'd demand to
hear all the evidence on both sides, before
making a verdict
AS an elector, your office is far greater in
its scope, in that your action affects the mil
lions who have a right to trust to your hon
esty, your good judgment, and your pat
riotism.
Therefore, your decision as to how you will
cast your ballot in the Presidential race
should not be made, until all the evidence is
in.
II is impossible for you to be certain, in
May, how you will feel in November
You can't foresce what may happen before
the time of the cZocti0m

sent down to Atlanta for the purpose of pull
ing off tie earliest primary coer hnown In

believe that they size it up about right, when
they accuse each other of being the grandest
rascals, politically, that ever played into one
another's hands and held the people chained
to the oars Of party loyalty, while they-the
people-roa0 the boat of Special Privizege
Look here, my son! Don't you see that the
Interests have put Champ Clark, and Under
wood, and Bryan in the background, leaving
the stage to the Professor?
Don't you see that the Interests have got
all they wanted from Wilson, and are now
going after more, because it's SO easy to get?
The Democratic Senate has passed Power
site grab which is more piratical than the
attempted Alaska grab that flung Ballinger
out of Taft's cabinet, and had much to do
with the defeat of that flabby servitor of
Great Wealth.
Professor Woodpile has become thoroughly
Guggenheimed, Morganized, Garyed Rock
fellered, and John-Hayes -Hammonded.
Why should such Republicans desire bet
ter Democratic nominee than the Professor
will make?
You know whether your horse is gentle,
after you have driven him three years of
course you do.
Well, then, don't you suppose that the In
terests, which have been driving the Profess
sor for the same length of time, are persuaded
that he IS gentle?
Bless you! The Big Interests that wouldn't
be satisfied with Woodpile Wilson, are not
only "cOrna0rants of Special Priva1ege," but
blamed fools.
('Cormorants of Special Privilege, is the
name we Democrats apply to the Big Inter-
ests when we are the "outs."
Having cinched the Democratic nomination
for the Professor, the plan Of the Interests
is, to win back to him the Catholic and Ger
man Irish vote, which was angered by Wood
piles correspondence with William Hohen-
zollern and the British Government, and his
recognition OF CarranZa.
Keep watch out, and see them play the
game.
The first move is, TO fasten the South!
Get the handouts on the Southern States,
so that they will be unable to felp them
selves, and then play for the Catholic Ger
man, Irish and Negro vote of the other Sec
TONS
The Democratic leaders have broken their
pledges to you: the Democratic party has
shown that it has no respect for your opinion
and no regard for your welfare
Why should you forever remain the slave
of party that meyer keeps faith with YOU?
Don't decide anything, now! Wait: read: =
think: resolve to be your own master
Before November comes, you may see the
logic of events spontaneously produce neao
