DRAFT PASSES HOUSE;
HUN RETREAT STEADY
GERMANS DEFEATED AND ARE
IN STEADY RETREAT
The Man Power Bill Passes the House
with But Two Negatise Votes
No Changes

The past two weeks havs witnessed
steady hammering by the British and
French on the line from Albert south
to scissors. Nearly hall d the land
lost to the Huns during saeir great
spring drive in this sector hss been
recovered and an immense quantity
Of prisoners and war supp Is. Foch's
hammer blows continue e. fall. and It
is not unlikely ghaJ the German retreat
will continue until the HIN auhurg line
from-whieh they debouched ghis spring
is reached. II the reig borhood of
$4,000 prisoners have bten taken by
the Allies since the gree attack in
the Marine sector started uly 21-and
to compute the stores Captured from
the enemy, his own stores destroyed
by him, the number of MS wounded
and the weakened morale due to the
allied success is simply impossible
Surely, it is the brightest period of the
whole war for our cause and portends
victory for world democracy.
At many points along the line the
Germans have countered desperately
but without avail The allies have
crushed their attacks ard moved stead
lily ahead. Certain of the German
papers now admit the sjmpessibility
of German victory, and admit the ire
mendous influence the American army
is beginning to exert.
The new man power oili 'assed the
House with but two dissenting votes
One democrat and the other Rep
resentative London of NeN York,
Socialist who has just been defeated
because of his anti-war activities.
Lively debate developed over the
proposition to put boys from 18 to
20 years into a separate class and call
them last The amendment was re-
jected by decisive majority, due in
large measure to the personal efforts
of the administration, Secretary Baker
making strong plea to pass the bin
as originally drafted. Il has not yet
been acted upon by the Senate, but
speedy action is assured From 18 to
as are the new registration extremes.

Vernon county has been invaded by
no state candidates for Office this po-
litical year 1918 with speeches. And
its bit unnatural. However we had
them for a brief time Saturday, when
Senator Roy p Wilcox. and Senator
C. II. Everett, candidates respectively,
on the republican primary ticket for
governor and lieutenant governor were
in the city. They had been at Sene-
ca to a big county gathering and were
hurrying on to Lacrosse for an even
ing meeting. They remained in vi
roqua but an hour, meeting as many
people as possible. They are conf
dent of winning nomination next Tues
day at the state wide primary. SEN
ators Wilcox and Everett both voted
for the prohibition amendment when
it was before the last session of the
legislature.
Hon. J. Fred Larson, candidate for
state treasurer on the Tittemore slate,
was in the city on Sunday.

A candidate or some partisan
friend of a candidate for Office
have been peddling the statement
that the Censor refused to print
his campaign platform. Which
is inst plaiE. deliberate false
hood. We have denied no candi-
date Of any party a hearing, nor
have we refused or failed TO pub
Iish and mans platform WHO has
requested it. No candidate is
worthy Of the support Of any hon
est voter who goes about spread
ing sucil falsehood
The Only applicant for space
that has been denied a hearing ia
the Censor is the Wisconsin Brew
ers' Association, which sought to
buy the influence Of our columns
to spread its whisky propaganda.
Thank God, We have no apology
to offer 70 the decent people Of
Vernon county for such refusal

We Are Promised Improved Service


From Wednesdaytill Saturday night
the city was in a pail Of darkness
caused by a close down of the electric
lighting plant. Dor months leaky
flues in the one unit boiler caused
trouble and necessitated perplexi .
intermissions in service. The trouble
became so acute that nothing short
of installing new flues throughout
would suffice. Hence the suspension.
The immediate addition of another
boiler, the erection of new smoke
stack to replace the battered and fall
en- one will put the plant in shape to
provide adequate service. Work on
the betterments so much needed is
now in order. Manager Rodenhins
has been on the ground overseeing
repairs.
The lack of service has been ex-
tremely perplexing to the public and
managers. Let US hope that we are
done with the trouble

ADUTY WE OWE OURSELVES

Do your full duty as a citizen
by going to the primaries next
Tuesday and registering yo,ir will
for the principles and the men
you believe right. and are known
to be right for things that repre-
sent your sentiments. That's
American freedom and makes for
safe sane government, by which
we must all be governed. To
many it will mean a little sacr-
fee OF time, but the world is full!
ofsacrifices IN these days of world
war and trouble. 1t is both a
privilege and duty to exercise the
right Of franchise. BY 50 doing
we are part Of the local and the
higher power of government. We
therefore owe it TO ourselves as
individuals and 20 our posterity
to Join in the initials of govern
ment-which is the primary.
Remember, citizens, that the
primary is of greater real impor-
lance than the general election.
We therefore urge upon people to
value the obligation Of next Tues
days primary.
Net in the 81 ait Of partisan
ship is this penned, but remind
er and suggestion Of the duty we
owe ourselves and good govern
ment.
