To the Chairman of the Marathon
County Democratic Committee:
| Dear Sir:
feel that | owe it to the organiza-
ton you represent and to the friends
who supported me at the primaries
to make statement as to the reasons
which have impelled me to file with
the county clerk my declination to
be a candidate on the democratic
ticket for Member of Assembly.
There are time and occasions. and
especially in republic like ours.
when men must voluntarily lay aside
personal ambitions, when the man
dates OF patriotism must be given
more regard than those of party and
when each follow the dictates of con-
science and do those things which
ne knows are for the greatest good
OF the country. | do not decline he
cause L am any less a democrat than
nave ever been, but rather becausa
l am better democrat.
In the primary election held last
Tuesday, l had no opposition. 7 was
pledged to the support of the Nationo1
administration and to aid in tha nos
sage OF every measure that would
tehu 10 Drlng this war to a speedy
anu honorable termination. 1t was
known that every measure that would
nave as its subject the saving of tbe
llVes OF any OF our boys in the trenches
that would aid them in even the most
remote way, that would carry to them
the knowledge that we people in Wis
consm could not tolerate their heino
stabbed in the backs while thew faced
the enemy, would have nv earnest
support and cooperation. I feel that
every voter who supported me at the
primary Is aglow with that same feel
ing OF loyalty, that their motto is
country first, party afterwards
AT the special session of the legis-
lature soon to be held in accordance
with the call of the governor. and in
whlch the member of assembly from
this district will take part. only those
measures specifically enumerated in
the call can be taken IN. can find
nothing in the call that can he made
a party issue.
Mr.. Ernest A Dunn. the succoSs-
iuI nominee on the republican ticket
mas stated his position on those mat
ters that Will be brought before the
legislature for consideration and 7
can find no question that is likely 70 |
arise upon which We would not he

country is unquestioned, and that he |

THRIFT STAMP CAMPAIGN

The Thrift Card campaign has COM
menced and it is proposed by Chair
man ii. G. Berger to place a Thrift
card in every home in Marathon coun-
~. The manufacturers of our CITY
nave enlisted in the work and through
them the committee in charge is do
ing a great work. Upwards of $14-
oOo OF the stamps have been sold up
TO this date, reports Postmaster RYAN.
All of the schools of the county
nave enlisted in the work and there is
a growing interest shown. Especially
are our city schools disposing of many
stamps.
Walter Alexander has been made
chairman OF the committee to form
S5OO and $1,000 clubs and D. c.. Ever
est chairman to form $50 to s4OO
clubs. WV
The campaign commenced Sunday

Would Make Issue Clear

If Joseph Edward Davies, charm IN
of the Federal Trade commission be
comes a candidate for the United
States senate from Wisconsin, to suc-
coed the late Senator Husting, he will
probably be opposed by someone Sc
lected by Senator LaFollette.
Mr.. Davies is a staunch supporter
and personal friend of President Will
son. His work on the Federal Trade
commission, for which he had qualified
himself by an exhaustive study of cor
poration law, has won merited recog-
milton. The commission, largely
through his efforts, has become one of
the strongest, most effective branches
of the government in its relation to
domestic and economic problems. Its
handling of the news print paper sit
uation during the past year and half
and its present investigation of the
meat trust, are but samples of its
activity in the public interest.
Should Mr.. Davies decide 20 become
a candidate for the senate against a
LaFollette selection. the people of Wis
consin will have clear-cut issue be-
tween ability and demagoguery, patri-
otism and pacifism. -St.Louis Dis

PRIMARY ELECTION

The primary election for the sec
ond assembly district of Marathon
county took place last Tuesday. The
result was a very light vote, and that
E. A. Dunn, republican. received 522
votes; Herman Marth. sol; Fred
PauluS, sos. and Patrick T. Stone. 267
The great strife was between Dunn
and Paulus on the republican ticket
and it necesSitated the official count
to fully decide it. Messrs. Stone and
Marth had no opposition and as a re-
suit many democratic votes went to
Mr.. Dunn. The latter won out on a
close margin, only Il votes.
The votes were very light only about
one-thirG voting.
The Pilot publishes in another col
umn the resignation of Patrick Stone.
which speaks for itself and the Pilot
covers the situation editorially.
There is only one thing for a true
patriotic community to do and that
Is TO elect E. A. Dunn for assembly,
man OF the second district.
Let every vote be cast and every
voter do his duty.

Why Workingmen Support the War
By JOHN R. COMMONS, Professor of Political Economy
University of Wisconsin

Never before has democracy fo
Wage-earners made so great progress.
as 1t has in the nine months that W.
nave been at war. If this continues
American labor will come out of this
war with the universal eight-hour day
and with as much power to fix it's owl
wages by its own representatives as
employers have.
Anybody who says that this is q
capltallstic war simply does not see
what is going on. Capitalists are be
ing controlled in their profits and in
the wages and hours of laborers with
the help of leaders whom the working
men themselves have put on the vari-
GUS war boards.
In no other war have the govern
ment and organized labor worked to.
gether as they are doing in the United
States today. In every department of
government that employs labor or
likes the price that manufacturers
shall charge, there is a leading official
of the American Federation of Labor
on the committee who has as much
power as the representative of the
capitalists. The president of the
United Mine Workers of America is
assistant to Garfield, the fuel admin
istrator. The president of the Build
ing Trades Unions is on the Emergen-
cy Construction Board for building
ships. A leading organizer of the
American Federation of Labor is on
the great War Industries Board which
controls all kinds of manufacture. A
trade unionist is Secretary of Labor.
These and many other trade union
officials were placed there by the trade
unions themselves, because these war
boards have become the big employers
of labor, or because they control the
wages that private employers pay.
The President Supports Labor.
All through these industries Presi-
dent Wilson is enforcing, as fast as
the boards can get to it, the eight
hour day, as well as time and one
half for overtime work. Moreover, the
agreements with labor unions provide
that wages shall be revised upward
just as fast as the cost of living rises.
Most important of all the agree
ments with trade unions is that which
gives the same wages and hours to
union and non-union workingmen.
Never before have workingmen
taken part in the actual management
of war. Never before, in war or in
peace, has the voice of labor in govern
ment been so powerful as it is now in
America
No wonder that the American Fede-
ration of Labor, as is shown by the
vote at the recent Buffalo convention,
supports the war almost unanimously
and stands for fighting it out to the
limit
Any workingman who refuses to |
stand by the great majority of his fell |
low workers in their great work for |
labor, is injuring himself and his !
brothers. A democracy in which the |
has his share of influence |
Is coming; and if it does not come as |

As By Your Mother!

And for your country, boy, and for
that Flag, never a dream but of
serving her as she bids you, even
though the service carry you through
a thousand bells. No matter what
happened to you, no matter who fiat
tiers you or who abuses you, never
look at another flag, never let night
pass but you pray God to bless that
Flag. Remember, boy, that behind
officers and governments, and people
even, there is the Country Herself;
Your Country, and that you belong
to Her as you belong to your own
mother. Stand by Her, boy, as you
would stand by your mother.-Edward
Everett Hale.

AMERICAN Savings WILL
MEASURE wheat EXPORTS

"We have already exported the
whole of the surplus of the 1917 wheat
harvest, over and above the normal de-
mands Of our own population. 1t is
necessary, therefore, for the food adj
,ministration to restrict export of wheat
so as to retain in the United States
sufficient supplies to carry our own
people until the next harvest.
Therefore all exports Of wheat
from now forward are limited entirly
to volume OF saving made by the Amer
lean people in their consumption of
wheat and wheat products.
I'VE continued wheat shipments for
December as far as our situation al
lowed, but even with all the conserva-
ition made we were still unable to load
several hundred thousand tons of food
stuffs urgently required by the allied
nations during the month Of December

EUROPE NEEDS FOOD
Food Administration Declares IL Is an
Absolute Sin to Waste Food-Food
Has Become Sacred.

Europe is still sending an inslstent
call for more food. We must send il
if the war is to go on efficiently. If
we eat it all we cannot ship 1t, and
the food administration has already
tried to picture how much that wheat
is needed by people who will starve if
they do not get it, the food administra-
ton states.
For the least bit Of heedlessness
on your part in food conservation some
one somewhere in the world must suf-
fer privation," an official statement
declares. "The food administration
has mastered the problem Of Ameri-
cas- food in such a way that every
ounce of food conserved and kept in
the currents of trade goes to an empty
stomach in Europe.
at is an absolute sin to waste food.
Food has become sacred.
Food means life; 1t means some
body's life, and you cannot escape re-
sponsibility.
There is no waste Of food among
the allied nations"

1t should, the reason will be that som,
Wage-earners are misled and don
know democracy when they see it, o.
dont support it when they know it.
A German victory is the only thi1s
that will set labor back permanently
II Germany defeats Great Britain
Germany will take over the British
navy. She will then be far and away
the most powerful country in the
world, and we Americans will be com.
PEELED to have a large permanent
standing army and huge navy to
defend ourselves from sudden attack
permanent army and navy large
enough to cope with Germany, besides
taking our boys and our workingmen
every year for military service, means
low wages, long hours of labor, sup
| preston of labor unions, repeal of
labor legislation on behalf of women
and children, suppression of free
speech, and all the hardships that mil
lions of workingmen have come to
America to escape.
Those Socialists who want the
workingmen in this country to give in
to Germany are blind and inconsistent.
For when the Socialists of Germany, a
year before the war started, voted for
war taxes when other nations were
unprepared, they violated their own
principles and forced the Socialists
of every other nation to fight.
The leading Socialist of the world,
Camille Huysmans, international sec
rotary of the Socialist Bureau, in Hol-
land, has said to the Chicago Daily
News that the war demands of Presi-
dent Wilson are Identical with the de-
mands of the International Socialists.
Americas War Aims.
The American Alliance for Labor
and Democracy, composed of trade
unionistS and socialists, at its meeting
in Minneapolis, edorsed and repeated
these demands. These are Americas
aims in the war: Equal rights of all
nations, big and little; no people to
be forced under government under
which it does not wish to live; free
dom of the seas; a concert of nations
to guarantee peace and justice; lirita-
ton of ornaments on land and sea.
OF these aims the greatest is dis
armament, by limitation of ornaments
on land and sea, through international
agreement Without this, labor cannot |
be free in this or any other country.
Any socialist in America, however |
honest, who tries to weaken the |
morale of American labor in this great |
crisis, is simply playing the game of |
the German Socialists who have al. |
ready sold themselves 10 the Kaiser.
Rather than listen to such Socialists |
let American labor join in the mag |
nificent patriotism OF the American /,
Alliance for Labor and Democracy.
Let them say, with the Alliance. that |
labor will take it's part in conducting /
the war; and that the war shall be /
fought to finish, for upon it's success |
depends the freedom ard the wages 1

Those LaFOllette Resolutions

The Milwaukee Journal criticises
the Marathon county board for not
passing the resolutions condemning
Senator LaFollette and says editorial
ly:
zone may well inquire what kind
of a spectacle the Marathon county
board thinks there would have been in
this country if the LaFollette refer
endum measure has passed congress.
What kind of nation would we have
were we to serve notice to the other
nations of the world that they could
do to us what Germany did and we
would call referendum to determine
to what extent we should resent the
insult? In the very act of calling
the referendum we should be admit
ting we are not enough of a nation,
and have not organization or repre-
sentative government enough to call
those to account who insult us. Just
how much respect would other ma
tions have for our democracy and our
boosted representative government?
In addition, in their apparent back
ing of LaFollette, do the members of
the Marathon county board thing that
the general staff at Washington, men
who are trained soldiers and have
studied intensively the developments
of the war abroad, are not entitled to
consideration when they say conscrip-
ton is the best way to organize our
army and do our part in the war? And
do they mean to back their Judgment
against that of the United States SUI
preme court? 1t was LaFollette who
opposed CONSUMPTION, and it was the
supreme court which threw out of
court as being absolutely without
merit, every case contesting the con-
stitutionality of the selective service
law"
Marathon county has topped it's
Liberty bond, Red Cross and Y. M.
c. A. allotted figures and as a whole,
stands abreast of any county of the
state in its loyalty. The Pilot stands
with the County Council of Defense in
its disapproval of LaFollette's course
as pursued in the United States SEN
ate. The American cause is the up
right cause. Every patriotic Ameri-
can should support the United States
to his utmost and there should be no
faint-hearted exhibition of loyalty to
the colors. Business and personal sac
rifices are imperative. No man should
on of war, in the U. S. senate, forced
upon us by the very barbarity of an
autocratic despot No alien or United
citizen who is impeding the prosecu-
ton of the war against Germany to a
finish, should upbraid and attack the
cause of democracy in the interests
of political ambition
The burden of an explanation rests
with the county board as to why it
tabled the resolutions and our peo-
pie will await such an explanation
with the greatest interest.
The Pilot of a week ago character
lied the men composing the board as
"a body representing every part of our
great county. Each was elected as a
member of this board which directs
the destinies of our county, because of
his ability and high standing. We
know them all to be able, conscien-
tious and loyal men of this country"
The Pilot believes they are such.

About ConStipation

Certain articles of diet tend to check
movements of the bowels. The most
common of these are cheese, tea and
boiled milk. On the other hand raw
fruits, especially apples and bananas,
also graham bread and whole wheat
bread promote a movement of the
novels. When the bowels are badly
constipated, however, the sure way is
TO take one or two of Chamberlain
