The republicans of Wisconsin have
three men to choose from for their
standard bearer this fall at the No
vember election and the NewsBudget
believes Roy 2. Wilcox is the man who
should have the nomination.
WilcOx's platform is sound all the
way through. He is man every red
blOOded American in the state can vote
for without apology to anyone. He
has made good record in the legiSla
ture as lawmal>er. We have every
reason to believe the Eau Claire man
will make good as governor if elected.
The News-Budget is throwing nc
stones at Phillip. He has made good
executive and given the state a good
business administration. The fact re-
mains, however, that his early course
on war matters will get him every dis
loyal vote in the state, if we are not
sadly in errOr-many loyal ones, too,
of course probably enough so that the
combination will nominate him. We
are not questioning Philips loyalty.
1t took some time for many people, even
President Wilson with information not
possessed. by the public, to throw off
their neutral clothes and become mill
tant. But Philip has had two terms
and no dislOyalist is going to vote for
Wilcox.
Let's be in good company.

Moehlenpah, then spent four years at
Northwestern University, Evanston,
ILL., During his time at college, Mr.
Moehlenpah worked in banks and
newspaper offices, thus paying his
way through the institution.
He came to Wisconsin twenty-five
years ago as assistant cashier of the
Citizens Bank of Clinton He is now
president of the bank, as well as di-
rector in the Rock County Savings
and Trust Company, Of GAINESVILLE.
Immediately upon his arrival in Clin-
ton, Mr. Moehlenpah devoted much
time and energy to the study of farm
finance problems.
During the years of 1913 and 1914,
when Mr. Moehlenpah was president
of the Wisconsin Bankers association,
he continually preached the doctrine
of farm land and stock loans. Later
when he took up the duties of eXecu-
tive committeeman in the American
Bankers Association, as Wisconsin
bankers representative, he again dis
and stock owner.
His counsel was so well calculated,
and liked by brother bankers, that his
ability along this line was recognized
and he became prominent figure in
the Federal Reserve Bank movement
eral Farm Land Bank. Now, it is said,
Mr.. Moehlenpah will be selected as
president of the First Joint Stock
Land Bank, which will operate in Wis
consin under direct supervision of the
United States government
AS member of the school board at
Clinton, Mr. Moehlenpah brought for
ward many advanced ideas tending to
better rural school conditions.
"To do these things, means that the
future prosperity of the state will be
insured for all time," said Mr. Moeh-
lenpah '"The great industries of the
city require much from the banker.
The banker meets such requirements,
gladly, because it means industrial
preferment for his state. Why then
should we not do the same for the
farm owner? Every forward step the
state takes with the farmer means the
garnering away of dollars and re-
sources for the children of the future"
Mr.. Moehlenpah has been identified
with all war fund activities, such as
War Savings Stamps, Liberty Bonds,
and he handled six counties in the
Y. M c. A. fund drive. There has
been no sidestepping on Americanism,
Mr. Moehlenpah standing ready to do
his all for his country. In this, he
says, he is guided by the counsels of
wife. and thought of two daughters
now in Clinton High School.

A measure of this proof of Mr.. Moeh-

gave us ice cream, candy, cigarettes

with smile, but couldn't get anything
