rying $4,000 volts.
A complete paralysis from the hips
down, resulted from the shock which
Schacherl sustained. He was also
robbed of his power of speech, which
he never regained to the time of his
death. 1t is set forth in the complaint
that he was single, and for the past
10 years has been supporting his wi
lowed mother.

A few months after his death a set
I tlenrent of $1,000 was ordered made
in favor of the mother by the Wis
consin Industrial commission. This
settlement was made by the Johns
Marville people, through their insur-
ance company, the Standard Accident
company. 40

tion against the Nash company, the

They point out the fact that he, as
foreman of the job, had been told of
the presence of the transformers, and
warned that they were carrying a
charge of 10000 volts.
1t was also stated that the pipe
which was being covered at the time
was out of the working area of the
plant and was not endangering the
lives Of the Nash employees.
The answer also points out that
Schacherl was working for the Johns
Manville company, rather than for the
Nash Motors at the time Of the acci~

WOMAN ROASTS

Mrs. Gertrude Bowler Tells
Cleveland Company Why
LaFOllette Wins.
IGNORANCE is BLAMED

Cleveland, Ohio Women who

Gratis or Republicans because my IA
Their was" are likely to receive
"sneer" these days, Mrs. Gertrude
Bowler, Sheboygan, Wis, Democratic
national committee woman, from Wis
cousin, told those attending the school
of Democracy here today.
''I say you had better not join
party unless you are interested enough
to learn what that party stands for,
firmly believe that ignorance at work
is worse than ignorance idle"
''The most bouyant hopes of woman
in the old suffrage days never reach
ed even the point of expression in
what is taking place here today and
all over the country" Mrs. Bowler
continued Notwithstanding all Of
the encouragement that has been eX-,
pressed about the manner in which
the governments affairs have been
conducted, we can look forward with
satisfaction to the future.
SIN the first place citizenship has
been aroused through the women and
the schools A majority Of citizens
are getting away from the idea that
the government exists primarily for
personal profit. All of the interests
which dominated our political society
were organized on the theory of get
ting something out of the government
for little or nothing. Women's en-
trance into the political arena from
the standpoint of her knowledge and
al ,,
bringing quite another view"
Mrs. Bowler assaulted Senator La
Toilette, his views and his expressions.
Conditions Aid Senator.
"If it were not for a democracy
such as ours, Senator La Follette's
propaganda could not bear fruit in
the state Of Wisconsin But he is on
the job continually, giving those who
don't read much and study less, the
kind of stuff they want to hear in the
different sections of the state. 1t
would be safe to brsg on his war
record in one part of the state, while
talk in the interest Of the railroad
people would be more fruitful in an
other part, but as Lincoln, the best
old Democrat under a Republican
name said: You can feel some Of
the people all the time, and can feel
all of the people some of the time,
but you can't fool all of the people
al of the time"
Mrs Bowler asserted that the ignor- {.
ance of the average voter is "appal- /!
ling" Sin the last campaign" she
continued sit appeared that not more
than one-fourth Of the masses were
studying the issues involved or even
trying to make an honest effort TO in
form themselves. A great many did
not know how to split a ticket, even
for their own good; others were stub
born or careless. To study candi-
dates, platforms, and conditions and
remedy them, means progress in gov !
eminent. Ii takes continued educa- !
ton to do this.
