Standing four-square on platform
Of individual service as opposed to
class selfishness, Senator Roy P. Will
cox of Eau Claire, Republican candi-
date for governor, asked Kenosha
voters gathered in Library Park on
Tuesday evening to "save Wisconsin"
from the dilemma of North Dakota by
defeating all candidates for Office
supported by the Non-Partisan League
or other organizations Of equally
ruddy complexion,
1.-TWO years ago when ran for gov
ernor," the Senator began after he had
been appropriately presented by Chas.
Wilcox, president Of the holders
Union in Kenosha, "the issue in that
campaign was whether Wisconsin
should put her whole-hearted support
behind that national government in its
war with foreign foe. Today that
enemy is silent in defeat, and the bat
tie in this campaign is to decide
whether the American idea of equality
of opportunity and justice to all and
the idea of the development of the in
dividual shall prevail against the
philosophy of collective ownership in
socialistic bolshevistic state. That
is the issue in this campaign. Make
no mistake about it,"
Applause at this point persuaded the
Senator that his hearers we're men who
were tired of bunk and wanted business
and inspired him to further eXcoria-
ton of the Reds in sleeps clothing.
Zumach Leads the Shearers.

Partisan League" the Honorable Mr..
Wilcox continued. "They say that
they are non-partisan. They're not
They're even worse than partisan, per-
sonal They're just waiting for a
chance to get their fingers in your
wool and leave you stripped as they've
left North Dakota.

"a few weeks ago met him in
front of his headquarters.
"'BiI,' / said, you're a fine looking
buck-wheater from Milwaukee to be

"Not shepherding,' was the answer;
'shearing,

but depreciate his lack of the same
quality in dealing with his constituency.
Subsequently / forced him to admit
that the Non-Partisan League was
agricultural socialism, mere change
of tactics from the old MARKHAM system
that seems to have lost its vogue in
this part of the United States"
"Save Wisconsin"
The Senator followed this pertinent
expose of Senator zumach's motives
with a ringing appeal for unity in
protecting the people of Wisconsin
against agricultural sovietism.
"The so-called non-partisan league"
he declared, sis really the most parti-
san thing you ever saw. 1t has come
into this state and is organizing in an
attempt to bring MARKHAM socialism to
the farmer and city-worker alike in
such guise as to deceive both. It is
offered by red-card socialists.
"North Dakota is floundering in
chaos as the result of non-partisan
misrule; Minnesota barely escaped in
the recent primary; the rallying cry
in this campaign is Save Wisconsin,
from that sort of ruin. That regard
as the principal issue. All other is
sues are minor to that one.
"Kenosha voters must realize their
danger and unite as they are united;
otherwise they cannot save the state
from North Dakota taxes and Russian
sovietism."

Senator Wilcox's Packard mind was
hitting on all twelve as he discussed
the distinction between patriotism and
on-partisanism.

''This MARKHAM idea of government
leads in exactly the opposite direc-

idea of government.
