Wilson Stands For a Principle Will You Stand By Him? Woodrow WtttOH is a vastly different order of man than you tint! among the ranks of many good men in practical polu.cal lite. Woodrow Wilson is not among the great majority of politicians and business men, otherw ise estimable characters, who believe that the end justifies the means, who are honest in a commercial or political ^ense The candidate of the progressive voters of the country not only docs not believe in the doctrine of anything to win," but he insists on plain old fashioned honesty in every detail of his campaign. Woodrow Wilson proposes to win on the merits of his candidacy and platform or not at all. "Clean hands or no fight" is Wilson's ultimatum to his supporters throughout the country. No Tainted Money For Wilson Not a dollar of questionable money will be spent to elect Woodrow Wilson. The Democratic National Committee is heart and soul in accord with the candidate's views. And the corrupting influences, with no political faith, casting about to win a foothold in the new govern? ment with bribes of ill-gotten gains, have despaired of teaching Wilson or his campaigners. They have gone to the enemy, whoever that enemy may be. It is a matter of common knowledge that the "Interests" arc using all their political funds to defeat Wilson. This makes it your fi^ht. What the American People Need to Know The people have constantly made the mistake of believing that this is a money-ridden nation. Such is only the case insofar as the People fail to get together and so permit the few to control the dishonest representatives they, by mistake, elect to office. The actual money power of the People is still greater than that of the Interests. The Progressive People of the country, if they get together, can buy and sell the Corrupting Influences and dettrov their financial power. So Woodrow Wilson and hit managers believe that not only is it the only clean method but the most practical mrrhod for the Progressive People of the country to supply the Woodrow Wilson Campaign Fund. The People to Fight With THEIR Dollars This year a popular president is to be elected with the People's money. The Woodrow Wilson Campaign Fund is to be collected from the rank and file of the Progressive Voters of the couj try. The Sills of the Democratic National Committee are to be paid, not with the thousands of the Interests, but with ill * individual dollars of the earnest, eager voters who desire clean, efficient government and who are willing to Mo Wilton as he wants to be helped. Mo r. thus needed it not spent in improper ways or in any manner similar to the way in which the funds of the Interests disbursed' But v i have to tell tbe voters of the country about Woodrow Wilson. We have to tell them what he has done. We have lot II them what be stands tor. We have to point out to them the important planks in bis platform. All this neeans that to hold up our end ve will be obliged to spend ss much money as those who oppose us.

Oct, 14. -Upwards of $400,000 was expended In the efforts of Gov. Woodrow Wilson, Clov. Jud aon Harmon and Representative Os? car W. Underwood to gain the Demo? cratic nomination this year, accord? ing to testimony today, presented to the senate campaign contributions committee William F. McComba, who managed the Wilson campaign, and his aide, William McAdOO, accounted for $208, 193. Of this sum, $85,000 was con? tributed, according to Mr. McCombs, by ''Cleveland S. Dodge and Prince? ton friends." Questioning developed that the "friends" were Cyrus H. McCormick, of tho International Har? vester company; David B. Jones, Thomas D. Jones, Edward W. Shel? don, all of whom, Mr. McCombs said, had been trustees at Princeton when Mr. Wilson was president of the uni? versity. Of the $150.946.45 expended in the interest of Gov. Harmon, Hugh L. Nichols, lieutenant governor of State, told the committee $77,000 was con? tributed by Thomas Fortune Ryan. .N r. Ryan also supplied $35.000 of a fund of $52,000 collected for the ad? vancement of Representative Under? wood's candidacy. Mr. Ryan will be a witness before the committee this week, probably tomorrow. Alton R. Parker, Democratic can? didate for president In 1904, gave his basis for tho charge, made on the stump in that campaign, that ttnan clal "interests" had organized a com? mittee to secure funds for and give support to the Republican ticket. He said the late Col. Daniel S. Lament gave him information. He was corroborated by George F. Par j ker, who managed the Democratic literary bureau in 1904. Mr. McCombs, the first witness of the day, was particularly emphatic in the declaration that none of the contributions to Gov. Wilson's cam? paign fund reflected "any promise, expressed or Implied." He said he believed his accounts represented practically all expenditures for Gov. Wilson, except $6,575 accounted for by Mr. McAdoo, who supplemented the testimony of his chief. Lieut. Gov. Nichols told the com? mittee that Gov. Harmon contributed tremendously to his own campaign. He said $122,000 had been collected but the expenditures amounted to $146,000 in the national campaign and Gov. Harmon supplied the diff? erence. In addition to this Mr. Nichols (lied a statement of $6, I 946.45 collected and expended In Ohio. Tho principal contributors mentioned in Mr. Nichols' statement were: R. M. Thompson, $3,000; Rep? resentative Francis Burton Harrison, $5.000; B. C. Wheeler, $8.500; J. F. Fanning, $5,000; William Dudley. $2.500; Thomas F. Ryan. $77.000. and James J. Hill, $15,000. Senator Pomerene ot Ohio, a member of the investigating committee, was cred? ited with a contribution of $250 in the account. Under examination Mr. Nichols brought out that it had been charged In the campaign that J. P. Morgan & Co. nnd the Standard Oil company had contributed to the Harmon fund. "Not a dollar was received from either." he said. Senator John A. l'.ankhead outlined to the committee expenditures in be? half of Representative Underwood, tho contributors mentioned in his Htatement wore: Thomas F. Ryan, $35,000; Jos. Auerbach, $7.500; S. R. Bertram. $2,500; J. II. Woodward. |2,600; small contributions amount? ing to $2000 brought the fund up to $52.000. Frank C. Penfleld of Philadelphia teat 1 fled that his contribution to the I Wilson fund amounted to $12.000. i This corroborated Mr. McComb'l ac | counts. I Senator Dlxon of the Roosevelt ' forces, on the stand before the com I miteo last week, said his information i was that Mr. Penfleld had given the i Wilson forces about $48,000, Mr. 1 Penfleld declared no other member of his family made contributions, al? though Senator Dlxon had said the <?(??> gift might have been in the name <?? Mrs. Penfleld. The Demo? ' cr itic organisation light In Illinois dwarfed the preaidentlal contest In i the rec.-nt primary, according to Roger C. Sullivan.

"What candidate was Thomas I\ Ryan f<>r at the Baltimore conven? tion?" he was asked. "I have n<? means of knowing, ' he said. "He was against us.

Womole-Coopcr and Carroli-Dean Weddings Even la of Interest in MayesvlUo Other Newa, Mayeavllle, Oct 16.?Two mar? riages of interest to Mayesville peo? ple took place last evening.

TWO FIRES TUESDAY. Hose Wagon Called Out Twice In Lees Than an Hour. After waiting for several weeks to be called out to any fires, the hose wagon was called out twice Tuesday evening to fires, the calls coming in less than an hour apart. The first fire was at Dr. Stuckcy's. Here gasoline had escaped from the automobile and when a match was struck to light the lamps on the car, a blaze flamed up Im? mediately. The chemical was turned loose on this blaze which was quick? ly extinguished. No one was injured by tho fire and comparatively litle damage was done to the car. Tho second fire was down at the foot of Bumter Street and occurred weh na gas tank on one of the North? western Railroad passengers explod? ed.

H, fltatal Attorney Winfred Zabel of Miiv.au kt ?? county tonight definitely an? nounced that John Schrank. Col. ttooaevelte naaallant. would not be brought to trial until after the na? tional election Novembef ?". He said the trial would be opened poaae lime between November 11 and 15. Mr. Zabel, who is said to be the only So? cialist State's attorney in the cour.try, gave three specific roasons for his de? cision to put off the trial for one month. He said, first, it was only reasonable to await the results of Col. Roosevelt's injury; second, he had no desire to crowd the defendant, and, third, guvs it as his opinion that it would be un? wise to call the case during the final struggle in the presidential cam? paign. "It 'is my desire to try this case justly and expeditiously,' said Mr. Zabel, "and to avoid having the plain criminal aspects of the case in any way Involved In the national political campaign. It would not be fair to any of the persons involved. If we went to trial before election day It is almost certain that the matter would be dragged Into the campaign by one or another of the big political parties." Discussing the case as viewed by him, the Milwaukee county prose? cutor said that as far as surface in? dications are concerned Schrank was sane. "If Schrank is insane," said Mr. Zabel, "it seems there is a method In his madm ss. when he selects for the scene of his crime a State where there Is no capital punishment. "Also, I am informed from mes? sages from New York, there has been no insanity in Schrank's family as far as can be traced. In addition, the man presents none of the usual sur? face indications of insanity." The State's attorney said he be? lieved Schrank had no accomplices or advisers in the crime. The plea of guilty filed by Schrank at his preliminary hearing in the dis? trict i court this morning is looked upon as merely perfunctory by the public prosecutor officers. "I shall permit Schrank to withdraw that plea when he gojs to trial if he so desires," said Mr. Zabel. "In other words, this case will be tried In exactly the same manner as any other c;use of like crim? inal gravity. Rut there will be no persecution of the defendant. He will be tried justly and fairly and can ex? pect to receive the punishmenv mer i ited by the crime." His Example. Teacher?"Bobby, give me an exam pie of the word 'damper.'?
