An Appeal to the Farmers.

Secretary Of agriculture calls on them
to do their duty and subscribe to the
Liberty loan.
If we do not win this war, we must
prepare ourselves for grave changes
In our institutions and lead different
sort of life from that which we had
planned to live-from that which our
forefathers died to give us the right to
live, says David F. Houston, secretary
Of agriculture. We shall indefinitely
face the interference of the Prussian
autocracy or bear permanently the In
tolerable burdens Of militarism.
To win this war we must have both
men and money. I know that every
farmer wants to do all in his power
for the nation in this day of trial. He
will not only labor to produce the
necessary foodstuffs, but will also gen.
erously contribute of his means to
make It possible for the men at the
front to achieve victory. l am conf
dent that the farmers of the land
will not permit any other class to take
the leadership in supporting the gov
eminent in this crisis, financially or
otherwise.
We are defending our rights as a
free nation. We are resolved that
there shall be an end of brute force
in international affairs. What Ger
many's victory would mean to the
world is plain. There would be no
right except might, no peace save at
the price of humiliations too bitter to
!! be borne. Small nations could not
exist. There would be no sanctity to
pledge, no solemnity to a covenant.
With the dominance of Prussian mil
itarism, the Anglo-Saxon struggle for
institutions and liberty, persisting
from Runnymede to Yorktown, with
its Magma Charta, its Bill Of Rights,
and it's Declaration of independence,
will have been in vain.
It is to prevent this, to defend our
rights, and to make possible an order
" and just peace in the world that
we are at war. The nation calls on
It's citizens for high and noble service.
On some it calls for service at home ;
on all, it calls for financial support.
am confident that the farmers Of the
nation will eagerly respond.

WILL BE TEST OF
ELECTORS LOYALTY
To Fill Vacancy Caused by Ex-
pulSion of RaguSe From
State Senate.
ELECTION CALLED FOR JAN. 2
Contest Liable to Be a Three-Cornered
Fight and Will Probably At
tract Nation-W At
tention.

Madison.-A call has been issued
by Gov. e. l.. Philip of Wisconsin
for the holding of a special election
and primary to fill the vacancy caused
by the expulsion Of Frank Raguse, So
cialist, from the Eighth Milwaukee
senatorial district, from the last leglS-
lature on charges of dislOyal utter
ances.
The governor has made no comment
on his action or regarding speculation
that he has called this election as
test Of how voters feel upon the war
issues. It seems probable that there
may be a three-cornered contest in
this district and that Mr.. Raguse will
be a candidate again, although no an
nOuncement has been made.
Herbert R. Manager, Democrat, who
announced his candidacy in event OF
special election soon following Ra-
guse's expulsion, said that he would
be a candidate In the coming special
election, if the issue is that loyalty
candidate must be sent to the senate
as against a Socialist. Alexander D..
Martin, Republican, whom Raguse sue
ceeded, may also enter the field with
others. It is said efforts will be made
to unite on one man as against the
Socialist nominee.
Coming as 1t does before the spe-
cial session at which the governor has
said he will ask for power to name a
successor to the late Senator Husting
instead of calling a special state cleo
ton, the contest will attract almost
nationwide attention. The district has
been conceded to be Socialist territory
in a three-cornered fight. It is known
that many voters of Polish descent,
who have been supporting Socialist
candidates, will not do so when the
question Of loyalty is an issue.
Governor Philip has set the cleo
ton for January 2. This means that
a primary must be held at least 20
days prior to the election, 10 days
notice being required before the pri-
mary. This indicates that the gov
ernor does not intend to call the legis-
lature into special session until jan
uary, after this vacancy has been filled
by the special election.

TO Ask DralHeoe Law.

Governor Phflipp will ask the legis-
lature at the coming special session to
pass law putting drainage work I'M
der the control of the state, and one
enabling members of the draft army
and the regular army to vote. The
governor made this announcement:
"The proposed law will provide that
the state pass on the ACCESSIBILITY of
draining" said Governor Philip. "a
survey of the soil will be made, so that
money will not be wasted in draining
land that is unsuitable, and purchas-
ers of land will not be cheated by be-
ing sold land which is unfit for agri-
culture but which is represented to
be.
when 1t appears necessary that a
dam ought to be removed, a hearing
will be held by the railroad commits
sioners to determine whether this
ought to be done. Claims for damages
also will be passed on by the commits
sion.
1.-THE present law providing that SOL
diers outside the state may vote refers
only to members of the National
Guard. Inasmuch as Wisconsin men
are in the draft army and the regular
army, a law giving them the right tc
vote ought to be passed"

MAY STATE WAR AIMS
Wilson Expected to Reply to
LanSdoWne Letter.
Message to Congress Likely to Treat
of Russian and Austrian
Situation.

Washington, Dec 3. - Lord Lans-
downe's letter urging Great Britain
to restate her war aims in form
conciliatory to Germany has created
sensation in Washington, especially
with Berlin negotiating peace with
the Bolsheviki government in Russia.
May Restate Aims.
The matter was discussed at the
cabinet meeting, and more than one
of the presidents advisers gained the
impression that Mr.. Wilson is likely
to take advantage of his address to
congress next Tuesday to restate the
war aims of the United States, to out
line his views of the bolsheviki and
the Russian situation, and to make
clear his attitude toward Austria
Hungary.
Administration officials were reti'
cent in discussing the Lansdowne
letter, frankly confessing themselves
puzzled and without sufficient infor.
nation to determine whether it repre-
sents a peace move by the tory fac
ton or a purely domestic British po-
litical maneuver.
Criticism Applied to u. S.
Indications are not lacking that the
reticence of officials is due to the
fact that Lord Lansdowne is CRITICS
ing the policy, not only of Lloyd
George, but of President Wilson. The
president has left his impress on the
policies of the Allies chiefly by his
declaration that the United States
cannot treat with the discredited ex.
listing government of Germany and
can deal only with liberalized gov
eminent, free of mflitaristic infu-
ence and responsive to the will of the
German people.
The Allies accepted as their own
President Wilson's dictum, which was
greeted in Germany as an attempt to
dictate to the Germans their form OF
government.

10000 Hunt This Year.

Sixty-three thousand deer hunters
in the state Of Wisconsin! That figure
was given out by the conservation COM
mission as the total of deer tags sold
this fall.
Upwards Of 100000 hunting licenses
have been issued. This year, for the
first time, the expedient was tried Of
requiring deer hunters to purchase an
extra tag in addition to their hunting
license, which costs ten cents. Obvi-
ously, only those intending to hunt
deer paid attention to the extra tax.
Trapping licenses were also issued
for the first time this year. Their to-
tai at present, 10000, is great sur
prise to the commission, as the early
estimate was only 5000. Most Of the
licenses have been going to trappers
Of muskrat and mink, living along
river and lake shores. Others, how
ever, are going to all parts Of the
state for the use of trappers of every
variety Of Wisconsin's long list Of fur
bearers.
