Sufragists Break

Washington, Nov. 7.-Suffragists

The result in Michigan, where the

that state by from 10000 to $4,000

RY HAL POD.

EY HAL POD.
James Knapp, candidate for repre-
sentative of Wayne county at the Re-
publican primaries, at the party meet
ing in Centerville the other night, told
one on himself that brought down the
house. Knapp said that when he was
a youngster he got onto a platform
in school one day to recite a poem.
The only part of the poem he could
remember was the first line which
started, who set the wild donkey
free?"
Several times repeated that line, ;"
Knapp said, but try as ! might I
could not recall what followed Final
ly, after had asked who set the wild
donkey free about a dozen times, some
old farmer in the back part of the
school room yelled at me, For Lord s
sake, son, chain the wild donkey up
and get off the platform"
They also related one on Sheriff
Glenn Carr over at the Republican con-
vention, and as it happened to con-
Germ Glen and his trusty shooting
iron it brought a roar from the audi
ence as usual. VIII Keller was the
one who related the story. He said:
II want TO tell you boys about Glen
Carr's ability as a marksman. know
you've heard lot about 1t but here's
a little incident that just happened
today and know you haven't heard it
yet. A bunch Of us went over to Dial
ton on a business trip and Glen hap
pened to be along. Frank Strayer
was there, too, and offered to put his
hot Nd 1oA
take a shot at 1t providing our genial
sheriff would promise to stand back
ten PAGES.
well, Glen took Strayer up and
got back ten PAGES. He pulled the
trigger but nobody saw any holes in
the hat. The sheriff was a little bit
disgruntled over his failure SO he ad-
vanced four PAGES and again shot at
the hat: but once again he missed.
This time he vowed he was going to
plug a hole in Franks hat, so he put
the barrel of the gun right up against
the crown of the hat-well, he hit 1t
that time"
And here is still another one that
concerns that Republican convention.
There was a lot Of fun over there as
there usually Is when the G. O. p.
boys of Wayne county get together
and get started.
This meeting was primarily a pat
riotic meeting and Of course the plan
list played America" and everybody
joined in the singing. What / heard
leads me to believe that there are
quite few Republicans In these parts
who had better get out an old song
book and brush up on the words Of
our national anthem. They all meant
ell, for every one Of the G. o. P. boys
is a true American. They sang loudly
and enthusiastically, but it sounded
something like this to me:
My contry, it's of Thee.

La la la la-a-a

These words are extraordinary, coming from
such source. They would not have been poss-
ible even year ago. We do not think that they
are entitled to much weight or that they indi-
cate such an internal condition in Germany as
would justify any relaxation of effort on the
part of Germany's enemies. Rather they should
stimulate effort. If the words mean anything,
they are concession to force from abroad, and
to fear of force at home.-Indianapolis News.

Won Hertling' S Speech

1t is impossible to say whether the speech of
the German chancellor in the reichstag is mere
camouflage But it is not likely that he would
have made it had he not felt that it was necess-
airy to placate the men whom he addressed, and
the people whom they represent. The world will
not forget that the German government has
many times promised representative institutions
to the people, and that it has never kept its
promise. After having won support by making
the promises, it repudiated them after the emer-
gency had passed.
But the chancellor's speech is certainly inter-
esting. After representative had demanded
electoral reform, and said that if it were not
granted he would appeal to the army to stop
fighting Won Hertling, instead of rebuking and
denouncingshm, said:
Plutocratic suffrage, which guages political
rights according to wealth, is today no longer
possible in our nation. The government, there
fore, can not countenance plutocratic suffrage.
We are still in position to fulfill our
promise without having to fear severe convuls
ions through simultaneously providing necessary
safeguards. What we refuse to yield today we
may later have wrung from amidst severe
commissions of national life. Equal suffrage is
coming if not today, then within measurable
period, and possibly after hard internal strug-
gle. The question, therefore, is, will you now

felt that it was incumbent upon him to
say something.
