to move out of the state.
81 am not going off half-cocked." he
said, "but if I'm driven out of Wis
consin I'll move. True we have some
brick and mortar here and elsewhere
in the state and we do not care to
abandon it. / have a home in Keno
sha but if necessary it can be showed
out into Lake Michigan. If we are
driven out of the state, it will not be
our fault"

Suggests Solution.
What we need to do is to educate
the people of the state as to what is
required" declared Mr.. Nash in sug-
costing a solution SIN the days when
the nation was called to support the
Liberty Loan campaigns, organizations
which were created which met the
emergency. 1t is just as important
that an organization should be Great
ed in Wisconsin now to meet this new
emergency. Go forth every one of you
and preach this gospel and help save
Wisconsin. We want men who are
willing to put their shoulders to the
wheel and help awaken the state to
it's peril. You cannot do a greater
service to your community thar to
get busy now to see that the right men
are nominated and elected to office at
the next election in Wisconsin,
do not misunderstood me-" he add
ed. Il do not want to see the poor
man pay any more taxes than now. I
want to see him pay less but the only
way to do that is to attract more in
dustries to Wisconsin thereby drawing
more people and more business to the
state. This will create bigger mar
ket for the farmer and will equalize
the burden"

care for the publicity which would.

Himself an Example.
Mr.. Nash did not mention it but
he himself is an example of the fact
That America is a land of opportunity.
This fact was brought out by John A.
Rose who in introducing the speaker
said:
Picture boy six years old turned
out to shift for himself Picture that
same lad in the hands of farmer not
over kind nor too indulgent. Follow
that boy through the years; see him
as a stripping go to the city-Flint,
Mlch.-where he secured employment
at 81 day in a/wagon factory. Watch
that man pick up what additional
training he could; follow him ON
through the years and see him over
come difficulties. Afterwards he be-
came strawboss, foreman. then super-
intendent and from that time on his
rise was rapid He was a man who
could take problems and solve them;
man of such integrityAthat a group
of bankers raised $15,000,000 to en-
trust to him. You know of his later
history. Moreover he is a man who in
spires his men to interest in their
work rather than to fear. That man

all activities and all progress"
