BACKING LUCK
Survey of the Milwaukee
Journal Shows Support
Given Lueck.
MANY PAPERS LISTED

nolitical machine by adding a large
number Of employees to the state pay
roll instead of reducing the taxes as
he promised, many Republicans and
independent newspapers in Wisconsin
are supporting ex-Judge Martin l..
Lueck. the Democratic candidate for
governor, declares the Milwaukee
Journal, in an article published IN its
Sunday edition. This article, which is
published below, was written after a
survey had been made of various pa
pers of the state.
The strong Republican journals de-
clare that Blaine has read himself out
of the party by opposing the national
nominees, Coolidge and Dawes, and by
urging the election of LaFollette and
Wheeler. These newspapers insist that
by this action every true blue Repub-
lican is absolved from the duty of
voting for Blaine, Notwithstanding that
he obtained the Republican nomina-
tion.
Comment of number of editors fol-
lows:
Kenosha Evening News - Judge
Lueck today is much nearer in ac-
cord with the principles Of the Repub-
lican party than Gov. Blaine. The
things that Judge Lueck has declared
himself for are things which great
majority of the Republicans of Wis
consin want.
'He is in favor of the reduction of
taxes by cutting state expenses; ne
strongly supports a plan for the en-
enlargement of industry in Wisconsin;
he favors the adoption of the constl-
tutional amendment against child la
Dor; he pledges himself to put an end
to personal and political corruption at
the capitol at Madison.
"Judge Lueck is not hooked up with
the Socialist party-the votes of So
cialists will go to Blaine. If Judge
Lueck is elected he must have the
support of every man and woman IN
Wisconsin who believes in sane rather
than hysterical government. The fact
that he is a Democrat in national
utilization will in no way hinder him
from giving Wisconsin a business adj
ministration.
at is not necessary for the state adj
ministration in Wisconsin to be con-
nected in any way with the national
administration, and it is much better
for Wisconsin to have Democratic
governor than to. continue under the
rule of a political mountebank who
draws most of his support from agi-
tators and Socialists.
"Blaine. and the men running with
him, are Numerically opposed to the
principles Of the Republican party.
They have nothing in common with
real Republicans who believe in the
party of Coolidge and Dawes. The
man or woman who votes for Coolidge
and Dawes and votes for Blaine is
stultifying his or her conscience and
proving faithless to his or her prin-
ciples.
"Wisconsin must have chance in
her state government If the state is to
90 forward. Wisconsin must get rid
of the gang at Madison, and the way
to do it is to have an intelligent or
ganization of all real Republicans, and
they must accept the alternative vote
for a Democrat or a Socialist. We
cannot think that the great mass of
right thinking Republicans of Wiscon-
sin will allow themselves to be sold
outright to the Socialist and the agi-
tator.
Being honest with ourselves de-
mands that we give our votes and our
most ardent support to the candi-
dacy of Judge Lueck. He does not
seek office under any false pretense.
at is not choice between Demo
cratic and Republican candidate, but
rather choice between democracy and
socialism. The path of duty is clear
to every man and woman who is un-
willing to turn the state over to So
cialism.
"Gov. Blaine formally withdrew
from the Republican party at Madi-
son when the convention dominated
by him wrote platform which turned
its back on the Republican ticket and
declared its allegiance and fealty to d
ticket which is Endorsed by the ma
tional Socialist party. There was nc
doubt as to the decision of the gov
ernor and his political friends, and
there should be no hesitancy- on the
part of the people who are opposed tc
this Socialist propaganda to turr. tc
Judge Lueck and the Democratic tic
ket."
Wausau Record Herald q Although
calling himself the Republican nominee
for Governor, John J. Blaine actually
is not a Republican candidate this
year. How can a man who is devot
ing every energy he possesses to de
feating the Republican candidate fol
presidents man fairly and honorabl!
nominated by his party convention
after having won the primary contests
in every state in the Union where
primaries were held-expect to be con
sidered entitled to the support of Re
publicans in his candidacy for the
governorship, even though he did ge
q majority of the votes in the pri
maries? This, no doubt, as the cours'
of reasoning pursued by Mr.. Hirst il
deciding to support the Democratic
nominee for governor. And it vii
be quite difficult for any Blaine sup
porter, however ardent, to contend tina
Mr., Hirst's action is unethical, in viey
of the example set him both by MI
Blaine and Senator LaFollette."
