ELECT SPENCER HAVEN
ATTORNEY GENERAL

One of the best appointments
Governor Philip ever made was
that of Spencer Haven, of Hud-
Son, whom he selected to succeed
Walter Owen, now on the SUI
preme bench. 1t was in no way
political appointment. Cover
nor Philip had dozens of more
active supporters among the law
yers of Wisconsin. Many of them
would very gladly have sacrificed
their private practices to become
attorney general of Wisconsin,
and eXerted such pressure as they
could command to land the Office.
Not so with Spencer Haven. He
neither asked for it nor asked 9th
ers to speak to Governor Philip
in his behalf. When he received
the appointment it came as a com
plete surprise and very genuine
sacrifice was made by him when
he accepted.
NOW Attorney General Haven
has so arranged his affairs at Hud-
! son that he can continue to serve
the state and his friends are dis
tributing his nomination papers
Nomination papers are bore, but
in lesser degree when they nom
mate for a Office a servant VIII,
has been tried and found mo-
wanting. There should be no bitcl
in the process which will pu'
Spencer Haven back in the at
torney generals office.
The Blade will work untiringly
for the nomination and election
of the Honorable Mr.. Haven.

WILCOX MEETING IN BELOIT
An Enthusiastic Gathering Able
Addresses Hon. w. S. Viii
liams. Chairman.

If any one doubts how the race
in Bcloit stands on the Govern
mental election, as between Sen
ator Roy p. Wilcox and GOV.
Emanuel l.. Philipp, such doubts
would have been removed when
on last Tuesday night more than
500 people heard the speakers and
saw the demonstration by the vot-
ers of Rock County.
The speakers, Prof. G. p. l..
Gordon, j. Anthony Josey and
6. II. DeReef, who did not mince
words in telling their people of
the insults, mjusticeS that were
heaped upon them by the Cover
nor.
The candidacy of Senator vii
cox was indorSed and he was laud-
ed by each speaker for his just,
fair and impartial dealing in the
past for unlike the present Gov
ernor, Senator Wilcox is not an
advocate of Tilman, Vardaman
and Cole Blease doctrines.
With our people Philip can not
be compared to Wilcox. The race
throughout Wisconsin is solid for
Wilcox.
The Wisconsin weekly blade. [volume] (Madison, Wis.) 1916-1925, 1918-08-29

Senator Wilcox is one Of the
few men in Wisconsin public life
to'lay who is big enough to be
classed as a statesman. There is
no narrow minded prejudice, no
compromising with corporate in
terests and no wavering in public
duty in his makeup. Big, broad
minded and loyal, conscientious,
fair and honest. he is above the
average of men in public life. 1T
was he who fought for equitable
tax levies upon war profits, it was
he who advocted railway crossing
safeguards, it was he who always
championed the cause Of the farm
er and the laboring man. lie
would not stand by and see his
country insulted or its people
wronged without lifting his voice
in their defense and he never was
so happy as when fighting in the
cause Of liberty and justice. -

WILCOX'S POLITICAL
MEETING

Flay Gov. Philipp.-J. N. Viii
son Acts as Chairman.

Monday night, Aug. 26th, Will
cox Political rally was held at
Trotter's hall. Chairman j. N.
Wilson presided. The speakers
were Rev. Z. P. Smith, L. j. Phil
lip. Editor J. Anthony Josey and
Atty. Geo. II. DeReef. The speak
ers hit hard from the shoulders in
speaking Of Gov. Philipp's atti-
tude toward the race. 1t was
shown that he was full of incon-
sistencies when speaking of and to
the Race. His claim that enamel
patton was a failure, and that he
doubted that the Negro would
ever be able to use the ballot in
telligently met the severest criti-
cism. The broad, liberal and fair
minded stand on all questions by
Senator Roy p. Wilcox was heart
lily endorsed by those present and
every one present decided to work
talk and vote for Wilcox as the
Republican nominee on September
Bird. 1t was an enthusiastic meet
ing from start to finish. From
Madison the speakers went to Be
lott and addressed upwards OF
800 people on Tuesday night.
Vote for Wilcox Sept. 3rd.

Sol. LEVlTAN

We desire to call the attention
of our readers to the announce
ment of solomon Levitan, of Mad
ison. candidate for the Republican
nomination for State Treasurer
which appears III another column
of this issue.
With the business training Mr.
Levitan has, coupled with the fact
that the present State Treasurer
has served three terms as Deputy
State Treasurer and three terms
as State Treasurer and is asking
for d fourth term and believing
that no man should entrench him
self in public office for life we look
with favor upon the candidacy of
Mr.. Levitan and urge that the
voters remember him at the polls.
Mr.. Levitan is a Self-made man
III every sense of the word. Start
ing from the bottom of the ladder
he has risen step by step until he
became President of the CONNER
cial National Bank of Madison.
Mr.. Levitan is one of the com
mon people, who takes friendly
interest in the welfare of the
working classes and farmers and
these people come to him daily to
, seek his sound business advice. II
every voter knew him as his close
personal friends do, the majority
he would secure would he over

WHY WILCOX :?

An intelligent man, whenever
he is asked to do any particular
Thing, unless he is already inform
I'D in respect to it, enquiries the
reason. 1t is thns he shows his
Intelligence and if once enlisted
n the cause may be relied upon
for intelligent service. And so,
eing asked by US to vote for Roy
?. Wilcox for the Republican NOM
nation for Governor, you have
perfect right to ask the reason
why.
First and foremost, vote for him
because he is a 100 per cent Amer
fcan and stands fo~ those things
'Eou hold most dearly; clean, able
and fearless he relentlessly Op-
poses every separation of the
american people into racial, So
|cial or religious divisions. lie is
IA fair, conscientious, broad-mind-
/ led and thoroughly loyal man of
/ big vision; too big to stOop to pet
/ ty politics; too liberal to judge
| |any man except by the standard
applicable to all. He accepts and
| will perform every duty imposed
upon him and he is willing to ac-
cord to every man the rights that
are his. He will prove himself
most excellent War Governor of
Wisconsin.
Another equally good reason is
that his mos dangerous CD rival
for the nomination is the present
|incumbant. Governor f. l.. Phil
ipp, who, in more ways than we
have the time to enumerate, has
utterly failed to measure up tO
expectations. Unlike Senator
Wilcox. the Governor lacks vision
at any rate we are charitable
enough to attribute his innumer
able blunders to cause Ovel
which he has no cOntrol-yet with
his ear attuned to catch what he
believes is the popular will. Thai
is not alone well illustrated by his
attitude in respect to the war
conscriptiOn, etc, but also by his
unjust and unwarranted attach
upon Americans Of African de
scent. At time when all of Eur
ope was wrapped in mantle o.
death and destruction and Oul
country was being harrassed by
Germany on the sea and Mexico OF
our Southern border, our Cover
nor could think Of no better sub
iect to discuss before veterans Of
two of our wars, than the Mis-
takes of Emancipation and the re
peal Of the Fifteenth amendment
Surely a man who could do tha'
before Spanish War Veterans OF
Washington's s Birthday, 1916, anC
repeat it before Civil War Veter
ans on Memorial Day, lacks tn,
vision" necessary to make ;
great war governor.
This is the answer to your que
ry, "Why Wilcox?" Even i
Wilcox were less desirable thar
he is, still you would owe it t.
yourself to do nothing that woulC
aid in the election Of Governo.
Philip. We may, as he charges
"knOw very little about how t.
run a government, " but we cal
show the world that we are no
so ignorant as not to know whel
we are attacked. This we can bes
do at this time by voting for VII
cox.

CONSERVATION COMMISSION
MAY LIMIT KILLING
OF DEER

In an opinion rendered to the
state conservation commission At
torney General Haven holds that
the commission has full power to
close the season for the killing of
deer and may put into the effect
the one buck law if it was de-
sired. During the past two months
the state conservation commission
has held hearings in the 80 coun-
ties affected and it is probable
that some order limiting the kill
ing of deer will be issued.
