These are things / believe in and
stand for:
II believe this Is q time of supreme
test In Wisconsin for every candidate
and every voter. The issue Is clear and
vital; 1t is above men or party. 1t
shall not be confused or avoided. II
q man is not for his country whole
heartedly today, his hand is against
his country.
Support of War.
II pledge you that I will aggressive
ly support President Wilson, that this
war may be conclusively won. This
Is war against war-a war to insure
the future peace of the world. My
support shall be constructive not criti-
cal; it shall be helpful not harassing |;
it shall be directed toward aiding not
hindering the conduct Of the war. l
shall fight all effort that looks toward
hindering It's progress or hampering
protection to our fighting men.
81 firmly believe In the justice Of
our cause. / believe that this war is
q conflict to determine which set of
moral principles shall rule the world
and civilization, and l take pride in
the leadership of my country in this
fight for the masses Of men against the
material power and wOrld-grasping am
bition of the military masters of Ger
many who threaten all that we have or
may hope for and would impose the
rule of the sword and the power Of
might upon the world. l believe that
the issue of the conflict will deter
mine whether the gospel of Calvary or
the theory of the Corsican, the rule Of
Christian justice or the rule of power
shall sway the future civilization Of
the world.
II shall at all times stand for the
protection of American lives and honor
and the perpetuation of those interna-
tional rules Of conduct which are the
expression of centuries of development
and one Of the foundations Of civiliza-
ton.
The Burdens of War.
II pledge to the president my sup
port in his effort to prevent profteer.
ing and to adjust equitable and fair
ly the burdens Of this war upon all
classes of society. When the man
hood of our nation is giving the last
measure of devotion by the sacrifice
OF life for our country, wealth must
also bear it's full share Of the burden.
Problems of the War.
I'm order to win the war and for the
future | firmly believe in the neces-
sity for social REIMBURSEMENT wherein
those who toll with hand and brain
shall receive more adequate reward.
To make democracy in the world worth
dying for we must keep it worth living
for. l stand for all those great ac-
cOmplishments and understandings for
social and economic progress which
five years of President Wilson's lead
ershlp has given to this nation; and
will support every measure looking
to the preservation in permanent form
Of those war activities Of government

which have been justified by success

Average Accidents,

Women are always the first to be
called upon wherever and whenever an
accident occurs. The average man is
indeed, only too glad to do what he
can, but he doesn't know what to do.
Nine times out of ten the only help he
can render is to rush to a telephone
and call doctor Or ambulance to the
scene, and he certainly deserves the
highest praise for such commendable
work, but the average woman has it in
her to help materially at such q time

GERMAN MARK CHEAP
Value Drops Below AZ to the British
Pound

London, Dec. 11.-(By A. P.)--The
value of the German mark has fallen
below AZ to the British pound. Before
the war the mark was worth approxi-
mately one shilling, or 20 marks to the
pound.
marks could be obtained for one pound
sterling, at Christiania 42.08 marks for
pound, at Stockholm Ais and at
Berne 41.083. At Stockholm the rate
of exchange on the Austrian kronen has
fallen to 1920 to the pound sterling.
The rapid depreciation of the value of
the mark probably Is explained by the
statement of the Berlin Reichsbank for
the week ended November so. 1t show
ed that the increase in German note
circulation during the week amounted to
f35, ,0O0, 900 on the basis of conversion
into sterling at 20 marks to the pound,
the figures still used for statistical pur-
poses in this connection.

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

New Yor Dec. 11.--A special meeting
Coffee and psar Exchange has IS been G" called
Tor SI5 p m. today.
The fact that the notice was marked
'Important." has led several well-known
coffee brokers to express their belief
that the board Is in receipt of special
advices from Washington and opinions
are, freely made that the exchange will
be reopened within q few days.
Holders Of Brazil coffees seem to be
more inclined to effect sales and to more
closely meet the views OF buyers.
While the most recent sales of cost

levels, II Is believed that the general
undertone shows indications OF being a
little easier.

Proof of quality lies in
the reputation a motor Car
has won after many years
of public service.
1t rests also in public
conference.-the firm belief
in the honest value of that
product under any and all
manufacturing and selling
conditions.
The extraordinary de-
mand for cars that now
confronts the Paige is ex-
trem ely gratifying and
proves once more that the
Paige-in Wartime or in
Peace-Time-holds it's place
as the best dollar-for-dollar
value i'm its field.
This popular clamor for
Paige cars is, however, some
what embarrassing. 1t will
be several months before
our factory can reach nor
NAL production. There is
no magic wand to transform
Wartime plants ntoPeace-
Time plants over night. IL
We are forced, therefore,
to ask your patience and
indulgence. We are doing
our utmost.
We suggest that for
your protection you file your
order for a Paige car at once,
so that there may be as
little delay in delivery as
possible.
Our salesroom will be open until 10 P. M.
