TO WILHELM.

Bq B. c. Hoyt.
O Kaiser Bill! You had "the will"
The whole wide world to ravage;
AS proud, you were, as Lucifer,
AS merciless and savage.
You crazy fool, Yau thought to rule
With iron sceptre CORY,
And liberty No more should be-
And that should be your glory.
With empire gone and power DER
thrown,
You'll sadder be but wiser
you'll drop the 'helm," and lese the
realm;
Nor ev'n be 'B1ll, the KAISER
But "Bill, the Beast" To say the least,
Or ''Bill, the Bloody Butcher"
And Liberty Shall palsied see
The hand that sought to clutch her.
You're sure to drop-We'H take the
prop
From meath your propaganda,
And you'll no more be Emperor,
Nor Hindenburg, commander.
So Greedy Might, Shall yield to Right,
And subtleties Internal
Be sent to dwell in neither hell,
While Justice reigns eternal.

be the most enthusiastic ever accord

iquist and have him advise the press
throughout the state, and to invite all
parties interested to meet Mr. Roose-
welt on Monday afternoon. We should
have a big reception.
We must bear the expense Of this
trip, but the only expense involved is
that from Minneapolis to New York
Mr.. Roosevelt will be accompanied by
one servant only, and you should ar
range to get a drawing room for him
and a lower berth for the servant;
leaving Minneapolis on one of the late
trains, preferably on the c. M. & st
p, because the Northwestern does
not carry a dinner.
Mr.. Roosevelt would much prefer to
talk on the Liberty loan, and this
should be arranged if possible. How
ever. if the date for his appearance
is too late or if for any other reason
he can not talk on the loan, he will
put up the loyalty" question, es-
pecially with reference to the activi-
ties of the Nonpartisan league Get
as much data together as you can or
