Herman Whitaker tells Of a lad on
one Of the American destroyers who
had been washed overheard in
black night storm and was thought
to be hopelessly lost till a voice
hailed the watch from under the
stern. He had caught the log-line,
which trails for couple of hundred
feet behind, and hauled himself
along it. Another escape was still
more marvellous. Washed overheard
at night from one destroyer, this
particular lad was heaved by wave
upon the deck # another vessel half
a mile astern. When he was re-
stored to his own ship at the end OF
the voyage his captain thus ad-,
dressed him: Young man, you
have used up all the luck you will
have in all your life. The navy is
no safe place for you. Take my adj
vice; get out of it as soon as Uncle
Sam will let you"

In placing the name of Joseph
e. Davies at the head of this
column as the choice of the Re-
view for United States Senator,
we exercise the right of every
newspaper, large or small. In
this case, our choice is also the
choice Of the rank and file of
Wisconsin Democrats, and out
side of the state the one man
generally endorsed as the logical
and most desirable successor to
the late Senator Husting. AS
chairman of the Federal Trades
Commission to which he was ap-
pointed by President Wilson, he
is in fuller and closer touch with
the chief executive than any
man in the state and Of all the
candidates without a doubt the
man best able to work in unison
with the administration during
a time when cooperation is
the slogan of the country.

MERLIN HULL,
Secretary of State.

| HUBER, HENRY A.-State senator
Comes from same county as LaFollette
looks like LaFollette; talks like La
| Toilette. But he's the man that spilled
the beans, touched match to the ma
gazine, lighted the smudge that
smoked them out, put his boot through
the pretty harmony slate. Stood the
perfectly good Republican caucus on
it's head and touched the button for
the rs to vindicatlon of LaFollette.
Fellow that had that vindication idea
must have been studying the now
justly famous German psychology.
MCCARTHY, CHARLES Il am a
Democrat. Must be.
Not a Republican just
now; not a mooser; not Bobby: not
a Socialist;not Pro hibitionist: @. E..
D. Once Phillip chased his goat. Did
he get it? Not from the doctor. Quite
the reverse. He's the man that put the
/ in the Wisconsin idea. Really it's all
his. Ask him. Now sWelled beyond
state lines because Wilson needs him
in the. senate. First thing Wilson asks
after breakfast, FLOWS Charlie run
ming out in Wisconsin," Versatile too
Just been teaching farmers down
south how to wean calves. Hates to
see his name in print.
DAVIES, JOSEPH E. Must he real
patriot Gives up $4,000 job for a
long chance at s., 500 one and the
honor of being LaFollette's colleague.
If that isn't patriotism, it surely isn't
business. Has good business head at
that, been boss of all the business in
the country ever since it had a boss.
just now he's twisting the tail of the
trust steer On administration team
| for some time and has batting average
well over 800. Doest't have to prove
he's Democrat.
LENRoOT, I. L. Ideal candidate.
Catch them coming and going. Slipped
on McLemore banana peel. Didn't
know what it was. Certain to recog-
Mise it the next time. But, on the
other hand, there's always the hope
| to be held out that he wouldn't. Ideal
candidate all rights Likely to be the
choice of the Republican conference,
legal heir to late lamented pussyfoot
caucus. Philip says he's all right.
| That settles it.
M'GovERN, FRANCIS E. The man
who won't play. Wouldn't play with
LaFollette, and got blacklisted. Would
not draw cards in Philipp's game. Said
he suspected the cards might be
marked. Going to play his own game,
with no joker in the deck. Governor
twice. Beat Bob's man in primaries
for senator and would be senator now
if Paul Husting hadn't just nosed him
out at the election. Talks rights out
about Americans and hyphens, and so
far he hasn't slipped once.
Philip, EMANUEL L 'Je suis I
etat." No use Of being any people
while there's Philip. He can appoint
senators and say nix on saloon lid.
