MERGER OF POLITICAL
FACTIONS is PLANNED

The state convention of the prohi-
bition party will be held at Oshkosh
in February, the exact date not hav-
ing been fixed, according to A. J. Ben
jamin, chairman Of the state central
committee Of the party.
Mr.. Benjamin announced that a
merger of political forces will be con-
sidered. There is talk of bringing to-
gether III the prohibition party the La
Toilette faction Of the republican
party and the socialists who have left
their party since the st. Louis cOnven-
ton.
Mr. Benjamin said that the work of
the prohibitionists will be conducted
along purely political lines. There
will be no definite alliance with the
Anti-Saloon league and kindred organ
izations, although the work of dry
bodies will not be antagonized.
1.-The deliberations of the state con-
vention will be of special interest
said Mr.. Benjamin, because this
meeting will be forerunner of the
national convention of the party to be
! held in May. The question of electine
| congressman will be one of the i'm
portant matters before the state anC
national conventions

BIG MOVE is ON To
BEAT THE SOCIALISTS

An organized movement, led by men
of affairs, to defeat the spread of So
cialism in Wisconsin has developed in
Dodge, Washington and Fond du Lac
counties, and promises to become
state wide, says the Milwaukee Sen
tinel Aid Emil Seidel, travelling or
ganizer of the socialist party, is feel
ing the brunt of this opposition.
Mr.. Seidel has made two invasions
of Dodge county, one at Horizon and
the other at Theresa. Both trips de-
veloped counter attacks in the form
of loyalty meetings. 1t is said to be
the plan in Dodge, Washington and
Fond du Lac counties to break up
every attempted socialist meeting and
turn it into loyalty gathering. The
Wisconsin Loyalty legion will encour-
age the same spirit of protest in other
sections of the state.
The socialists refer to this opposi-
ton as intolerance" and violation
''of the right Of free speech" Men
back Of the movement call it good
Americanism." Their whole program
to defeat the spread of socialism is
based upon the proposition that the
ST. Louis platform OF the socialist
party marks it as 'pro-German and
un-American party" They believe
they are making a necessary war
time fight.

Indian Summer,

The term Indian summer" is ap-
piled to period of mild, open weather
that comes in the fall. embracing the
most of October and sometimes ex-
tending into November, and character
lied by sort of dry mist or haziness
that differentiates it from other sea-
sons of the year. What causes the dis
tinctive features Of the season, espe-
cially the hazy atmosphere, is I'M
known, and the origin of the term
equally so. Different explanations
have been given of both, but they seem
to be largely fanciful.

RED CROSS DRIVE Will
GO OVER THE 5000 MARK

The drive for the Red Cross mem
bership conducted in Watertown the
past week will result in total OF
more than 5000 memberships. This
was the statement given out at the
headquarters of the Red Cross chap
ter in the Bank of Watertown build
ing this morning The drive resulted
even better than anticipated as 20 per
cent of the population was the ex-
pectation. Some of the country dis
tricts are still to be heard from which
will swell the total considerably
Christmas day has been designated
as Honor day when those who have
not had an opportunity to subscribe so
far may send their name and remit
lance to the Red Cross chapter
Although the drive ends tonight the
town will be open for some time to
come. and may possibly be permanent.
Ii you have not already subscribed
do so now and be enrolled in the or
ganization which is working for the
relief of humanity.
Don't Forget Honor Day.
Don't forget Honor day-tomorrow
and if you have not already sub
scribed, do so on that day. And, if you
have already subscribed make the last
days easy for the workers, pin your
button on the outside of your coat.
and put your service flag in the win
dow. 1t will save the workers solicit
L, 60,
slackers, and it will save you the
time of telling him that you are al
ready a member.
Remember, your dollar helps-and
it may be helping your own boy! Buy
yourself Christmas present of a
membership-then buy one for every
member of your household, and be
sure to get your service flag up-it
may induce the man next door to buy
a membership, too.
The work of getting memberships,
however, is not an easy task-for each
member, regardless of the price of the
membership he wishes to buy, there
must be service flag given, receipt
besides the application card, and a
button; and if an entire family sub
scribes, a number of the small red
stars. This all requires time, and with
the big demand for supplies, and these
supplies continually running short
the work has been stupendous.
Wisconsin's loyalty is not question
ed-in every other campaign for pa
triotism everything has been over
subscribed, and it is expected, wher
every subscription is in that the Rec
Cross campaign, too, will be over sub
scribed. With the 81 and 50 member
ships, however, there is as much ant
more work to be done than there was
. in signing up for the $1,000 libert,
bond

CHRISTMAS TRADE
GREATLY IN EXCESS
OF FORMER YEARS

Christmas trade in Watertown was
greatly in excess of former years in
most all lines. The rush at the postof-
flee far exceeded that of last year, the
volume of outgoing business up to the
evening Of December q being in ex-
cess of the total for the month of De-
cember, 1916
Of course a great deal of this was
due to the mailing of packages to the
soldiers in the various camps through
out the country, but aside from that
the sending of gifts was more general
than in previous years.
The travel on the railroads was also
greatly in excess Of former years, ex-
ira trains being necessary to accom-
modate travel and the large of amount
of mail and express carried. The re-
turn of soldiers from nearby canton
ments for the Christmas holidays
swelled the volume of business on all
the railroad lines, and their visit home
brought together members of families
for a Christmas reunion from various
parts of the country.
"a SGu0I d1 VI uSI I0CGlF0u Ill Nll w du-
kee on Saturday is that tourist car
service on all eastern lines will be
discontinued January /. All tourist
cars will be turned over to the govern
ment for the movement of troops.
Much rolling stock already has been
Communicated by the war depart
ment.
Soldiers started to arrive from
Camp Custer at Battle Creek and
Camp Grant at Rockford on Saturday.
Sunday trains brought many more.
Most of them have four-day furloughs.
They say that no hard and fast rule
mas been established regarding the
number of men furloughed home for
Christmas, that the colonel of a regi-
ment decides the percentage according
to conditions, the work to be done and
the prospect of an order to move.

treicher, Guse, LANCE, Fischer. They
