of that platform.

"A Socialist who remains one in the
dislOyal to America, he is deliberately
disloyal," said the speaker. America
is a pollyglot boarding house. People
are permitted to come from every
where. If they create a disturbance
they are put out. America is our
boarding house and we're going to
run it, he said.
1T is time to place Socialists by the
flag and make them swear loyalty to
it. If they do not do it we must send
them back to the flag they love better
than ours" said the governor.
America bids welcome to every
man, from every country, no matter
what race or creed, and after they
have been here a certain time they
should be made to state whether they
want to be citizens or not and if not
they must pack up and go back, is a
law | would put in the statutes" he
declared.
ANY man deliberately disloyal
should be stripped of his citizenship
ana any man VINO goes TO the polls
next Tuesday with treason in his
heart is a poltroon and a coward" he
said
you may ask what all this has to
do with the election of Wisconsin's
new member of the United States SEN
ate-it all bears upon it most vitality.
Your state desires to support the gov
eminent, but you can't support the
government without supporting the
head Of the government The heart OF
Wisconsin is with president Wilson
and you must help him. The simple
method of rendering him service now
is to give him a senator who will
stand with him-Hon. Joseph E. Da-
vies," he concluded

came to Wisconsin for the man." said
the speaker.
Il am here as a non-partisan-
yielding loyalty only to the flag" cried
the governor. IF we devote our time
to an American debating society, we
might get licked Let us forget our
differences. Though l come from a
different state our interests are in
common and the right man must be
elected the speaker declared.
Men from other states cannot come
into the state and discuss affairs To-
cally, but in the election of a United
States senator the interests in Ohio
are concerned as much as Wisconsin.
The eyes of Ohio are upon Wisconsin
and the men of Wisconsin, and when
the votes have been counted in Wis
consin Tuesday night the result should
give happiness in Washington and not
in Berlin" he declared.
eff I thought that this man I am
speaking for was not loyal and true
hearted l would not raise my voice in
his behalf he declared.
Your public thought doubtless di-
vides istelf into three classificatiOns:
First, the great mass of fixed purpOs-
es who believe this war was a diabOl-
ical plot formed for the purpose OF
world domination, and that peace can
only be guaranteed by destroying the
institution of military autocracy."
Second, a very small part of those
who were born in Germany, or whose
forebears were. They have good con-
science and fair judgment, but seem
to hesitate while America shouts to
them it's trumpet call. From miscOn-
ception, and in some measure from
misinfOrbatiOn, they believe that war
was forced upon Germany, and that
We were drawn into it by the artful
Vaccinations of Great Britain"
Third, a group made up of that
diminishing party of Socialists who
ridicule religion and desp1se govern
ment"
''In entering into discussion of issue
let us say every man is entitled to his
opinion. Common ground must be
found wherein we can argue. | can
say that within your heart you want
the casualty list to be as low as pos
sible. Our government must be able to
write when historians of the future
come home that she has not demeaned
herself" said the speaker prepare
tory to inquiring and answering What
are the circumstances which brought
this war about? He explained at
length this great topic in a clear, con-
vincing manner
Wilson was accused of being
jellyfish in trying to keep out of the
war;" said the speaker, 'but he would
not yield our national honor to do So"
he continued
The war of 1912 was fought to pre-
serve honor and the freedom of the
seas Our fathers died to preserve that
principle. We must do the same"
said the speaker
The speaker spoke on socialism. He
spoke especially of the st. Louis meet
ing wherein its members declared
that policy patriotism was a sham,
national aims a myth, war a shame
and the submarine plans of Germany
justified. Thousands throughout the
country departed from the party on

SURGICAL WORK ON DISPLAY

The surgical dressings in the win dow of the Ozan Mercantile Go. are just two complete sets of dressings one wrapped and marked for ship ping. There are no two pieces alike. Gauge, muslin, oakum and cotton are the main materials used. There are gauge congresses and wipes, and muslin bandages and binders, pads and rolls, pneumonia jacket and a heel ring. All are simple and quickly made when once learned, but great care must always be taken. Cut edges are never exposed and loose threads and lint are watched for and picked off. The most difficult thing of all is keeping on hand sufficient material to keep all busy.
 Good work was done at the Red Cross room but with room to them selves at the court house, it is the hope that proportionate increase of work will be the result. The thought behind the posters and dressings is a sad one. We are reminded by them of the thousands, yes, hundreds of thousands of the best and bravest of the whole world, who are today upon beds of suffering, and they lack these very things. It is hard to have to leave home and business to fight a cruel enemy, but it is much harder to suffer from lack of care, when wound ed Are we doing, not our bit, but the best we can? The poster says if you can't go and fight, buy Liberty Bond. We will go step further and say, If you can't buy Liberty Bond, then buy a bolt of muslin.
