that 1t has sent to Washington a man
who will aid in the great struggle to
make the world safe for democracy"
Joseph Davies is in every sense q
self-made man. He is of the people
and for the people. He was not born
to the purple, but was obliged to work
his way in the world and to climb the
ladder of success rung by rung. He is
not ashamed, but glOrieS in the fact
that his grandfather and his father,
both men of sturdy honesty and undis-
puted integrity, earned their bread by
the sweat Of their brows at the forge
in their blacksmith shops. Longfellow
has immOrtalized the Village smithy''
and Joseph Davies has nodded his own
destiny with the same scrupuIOus fdel-
ity to his fellow man that his fore
bears shaped the products of their
labor.
Likewise Mr.. Davies is proud to
have been the son of a mother who
became an ordained minister and
came to America to work among the
Welsh people who had taken up their
homes here. 1t was his mothers train
ing which developed in him those
traits Of character which have en-
abled him to reach a conspicuous posi-
ton in the world of achievement, and
to gain for him the personal admira-
zion and friendship of legions not only
in his native state, but elsewhere.
Was Born in Watertown.
Joseph Davies was born in Water
town, Wis, and educated in the public
schools. Then he entered the Univer-
sity Of Wisconsin and worked his way
through that institution. During his
university days, he was prominent in
forensic and athletic activities. In in
tercollegiate debates he proved his
ability as an orator and today ranks
among the best public speakers of the
country.

by Own Efforts-CIose Friend
of late Senator Hustnq.

Joseph E. Davies, Democratic candi-
date for the United States senate to
I'LL the vacancy caused by the lament
ed and untimely death Of Senator Paul
.. Husttng is a product of Wisconsin
and representative Of the spirit of this
greatest Of all progressive states.
A native son, Mr. Davies has alb
sorbed the ideals Of the common
wealth. He is fitted by birth, educa-
ton, training and experience to be a
true spokesman of loyal Wisconsin in
the senate.
Mr.. Davies private and public life
Is sufficient guaranty that Wisconsin
may safely trust him to represent it
In the highest legislative body of the
land in this most critical Of all periods
In the nations history.
President Wilson has indicated his
complete trust in Mr.. Davies by hon
oring him with positions of RESPONSE
bility, and the ability, vision and hon
esty of purpose he has shown insures
that he will not dishonor the commits
sion Of senator should the people of
his home state send him back to Wash
ington.
Although only forty-one years of
age, Mr.. Davies has already estab-
lished for himself a national reputa-
ton. He has been a credit to his
state and is in every way qualified to
take the place of Senator Husting, his
close personal friend and co-worker
la the cause Of good government.
The one thought of Paul Husting
was loyalty to country in it's hour Of
peril. That, too, is the guiding thought
of Joseph Davies.
Is a SeIf-Made Man.
Husting had the courage to fight for

A Constructive Official

After President Wilson was inaugu-
rated Mr.. Davies was offered various
positions of high honor In the diplO-
matte service, but these he declined
believing he could be of more aid to
the cause of good government for
which he had enlisted by remaining in

this country. He was named by the
president as commissioner of corpora
tons, and when the federal trade COM
mission was created he was made a
member and the first chairman of that
body.
AS commissioner of corporations
and as an expert in the federal trade
commission he has become q recOg-
nized authority on the business prob
lens of the country. He only recently
resigned from the commission so that
he might be free to make the race for
the senate. At the outset Of his work
on the trade commission he advocated
policy which became the policy of
the commission, to be helpful to the
commercial interests Of the country
rather than harmful, to build up rather
than tear down, at the same time see
ing to it with a firm hand that the
small man in business and the in
tereStS of the consuming public were
protected.
Mr.. Davies services as commissioner
Of corporations and as chairman and
member of the federal trade commits
sion have placed him in q position
where he is perhaps better qualified to
speak of business and industrial con-
ditions than anyone else in the cOun-
try This knowledge and experience
will prove invaluable to the senate
and to the country If he is made a
member of that body, when it becomes
necessary to take up the great prob
lens of trade and commerce which
are certain to develop as result of
the war and especially after peace
shall have been concluded.
Since war was declared Mr.. Davies
at the direction Of the president, has
been engaged with the commission in
important war work. The investiga-
lions which were carried on by the
federal trade commission of steel,
meat, and other food supplies form the
basis for the action Of the government
in controlling these commodities.
Possessing firm convictions, Mr.. Da-
vies Is able to express them with force
and Understandings. Frequently he
has been called into counsel by mem
berS Of the senate and house commit
tees dealing with important matters
of legislation. His presentation of the
steel report to the interstate com
merce committee was spoken of by a
member of the senate as the ablest
presentation of an intricate subject
that the committee had ever heard
This is an evidence of what those In
d position to Judge think Of the abili-
ties of the man who aspires to be Wis
cOnSin'S next senator.

After leaving the university he es-
tablshed himself in the practice Of
law and was soon elected prosecuting
attorney, serving in that capacity for
four years. TO seek broader field he
moved to Madison, where he was en-
abled to keep in close touch with the
activities of the state and naturally
that association led him to take an
interest in public affairs.
He was chosen chairman of the Dem
ocratic committee and succeeded in eff
fecting virile and progressive or
ganizatiOn. The death of National
Committeeman Ryan in 1912 placed
Mr. Davies in line for that office, and
he was elected as Mr.. Ryan's success
sor. From the first Mr.. Davies was an
advocate of Woodrow Wilson and fig
ured largely in bringing about his
nomination and election to the presi-
dency. He took conspicuous part in
the Baltimore convention. In recOgni-
ton Of his political sagacity he was
chosen by President Wilson as secre-
tary of the Democratic national COM
mittee and when the campaign of 1912
was launched he was placed In charge
Of the Western headquarters at Chi
cago. He played the game in the open
and made the fight for progressive
democracy, the cause of which he has
ever eSDOused.

LOYAL WISCONSIN
Joseph E. Davies Resents Doubt as to
States Devotion to Nations
Cause.

ut has been said that there is some
doubt as to WiscOnsin's loyalty to the
government. AS Wisconsin man re-
sent this doubt as to WiScOnsin's loyal
ty. Where one falterS, there are thou
sands who are giving generously and
prodigally of themselves, their time
and their substance to the many war
activities now being projected The
spirit of Wisconsin was truly voiced
by that bold, courageous and high
minded patriot, the late great senator
from Wisconsin, who now lies on q
hill overlooking the beautiful country
side which he loved, | am as certain
as the night follows the day that the
people of Wisconsin will in no uncer-
tain terms proclaim that which is the
fact-their unfaltering, answering,
unyielding devotion to the cause of
democracy in this the hour of the coun-
try's need."-Extract from speech by
Mr.. Davies.
"This is no time for criticism or for
cavil. Mistakes may have been made
and perhaps will be made, but there is
room In this nation for only one pur-
pose and one thought and that is sin
gle-hearted devotion to the cOuntry's
necessities and single-minded aid to
the program of its government"
"Picture, if you can, the condition of
the world and the condition of our
selves and of our children if the rule of
the autocratic ruling class of Germany
shall be imposed, not only upon the
German people, but upon the rest of
the world. That is the reason that we
must win this war-that is the purpose
that must animate us to give counsel
and unity of action. Those are the rea-
sons why there is no place for false
sentimentalism in this situation, why
we must fight this fight like men in a
world of men. The God of Israel Is q
God of justice and Of the sword in
such a cause"

OUR FRENCH ORPHANS

We offer you method, and means
by which you may help France and
help her right now!- Her children
have been deprived of their fathers by
the shot and shell of those great Ger
man guns. The mothers of the land
are working hard to help the soldiers
of France and those of her allies. In
the name of all that's decent, and right
and fair, let US relieve them of the ex-
pense of their little ones-so hard now
for them to meet. France is asking
this of us. Shall we now turn a deaf
ear to her call?
It takes $3.50 to support child IN
France, in its mothers home, one year.
That is, it takes that much from US,
for the French government gives the
same amount to each child we offer to
help.
If you can't take an orphan entirely
send us something, some sum, and we
will use it to help support child IN
France,
Remember, the appeal is only for
the children whose brave fathers
fought and died for France and Liber-
ty. Come, help us

tom seems to have dropped out Of the
earth, allowing the road 10 drop into a
hole some 40 feet deep and 30 feet wide
The walls of the hole are perfectly per-

road bed does not near fill the cavity,
indicating a large recess prior 10 the
sinking Of the earth at that point ten
days ago. For a large area surround

and showing signs of further damage
in that vicinity, while some three hun
bred yards further north there has
been another cave-in, but much small

lake by the earthquake in February,

feel some degree of excitement and
uneasiness upon looking at this gigan-

particular point may change the course
of travel to and from Samburg, as 1t
will be difficult job to build a new

ENDORSED AT HOME
Such Proof as this Should Convince
Any Brownsville Citizen.

The public endorsement of local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none stronger
can be had. When man comes for
ward and testifes to his fellowcitizens
addresses his friends and neighbors,
you may be sure he is thoroughly con-
WINGED or he would not do so. Telling
ones experience when it is for the pub
lie good is an act of kindness that
should be appreciated. The following
statement given by resident of
Brownsville adds more to the many
cases of home endorsement which are
being published about Doan's Kidney
Pills. Read it.
