WHY WILCOX ?
An intelligent man, whenever he is asked to do any particular thing, unless he is already informed in respect to it, enquires the reason. It is thus he shows his intelligence and if once enlisted in the cause may be relied upon for intelligent service. And so, being asked by us to vote for Roy P. Wilcox for the Republican nomination for Governor, you have a perfect right to ask the reason why.
First and foremost, vote for him because he is a 100 per cent American and stands for those things you hold most dearly; clean, able and fearless he relentlessly opposes every separation of the American people into racial, social or religious divisions. He is a fair, conscientious, broad-minded and thoroughly loyal man of big vision; too big to stoop to petty politics; too liberal to judge any man except by the standard applicable to all. He accepts and will perform every duty imposed upon him and he is willing to accord to every man the rights that are his. He will prove himself a most excellent War Governor of Wisconsin.
Another equally good reason is that his most dangerous (?) rival for the nomination is the present incumbant, Governor E. L. Philipp, who, in more ways than we have the time to enumerate, has utterly failed to measure up to expectations. Unlike Senator Wileox, the Governor lacks vision—at any rate we are charitable enough to attribute his innumerable blunders to a cause over which he has no control—yet with his ear attuned to catch what he believes is the popular will. That is not alone well illustrated by his attitude in respect to the war, conscription, etc., but also by his unjust and unwarranted attack upon Americans of African descent. At a time when all of Europe was wrapped in a mantle of death and destruction and our country was being harrassed by Germany on the sea and Mexico on our Southern border, our Governor could think of no better subject to discuss before veterans of two of our wars, than the Mistakes of Emancipation and the repeal of the Fifteenth amendment. Surely a man who could do that before Spanish War Veterans on Washington's Birthday, 1916, and repeat it before Civil War Veterans on Memorial Day, lacks the "vision" necessary to make a great war governor.
This is the answer to your query, "Why Wilcox?" Even if Wilcox were less desirable than he is, still you would owe it to yourself to do nothing that would aid in the election of Governor Philipp. We may, as he charges, "know very little about how to run a government," but we can show the world that we are not so ignorant as not to know when we are attacked. This we can best do at this time by voting for Wilcox.

WILCOX'S POLITICAL MEETING
De Reef, Smith, Josey and Phillip Flay Gov. Philipp. J. N. Wilson Acts as Chairman.
Monday night, Aug. 26th, a Wilcox Political rally was held at Trotter's hall. Chairman J. N. Wilson presided. The speakers were: Rev. Z. P. Smith, L. J. Philip, Editor J. Anthony Josey and Atty. Geo, H. DeReef. The speakers hit hard from the shoulders in speaking of Gov. Philipp's attitude toward the race. It was shown that he was full of inconsistencies when speaking of and to the Race. His claim that emancipation was a failure, and that he doubted that the Negro would ever be able to use the ballot intelligently met the severest criticism. The broad, liberal and fair-minded stand on all questions by Senator Roy P. Wilcox was heartily endorsed by those present and every one present decided to work talk and vote for Wilcox as the Republican nominee on September 3rd. It was an enthusiastic meeting from start to finish. From Madison the speakers went to Beloit and addressed upwards of 800 people on Tuesday night.
Vote for Wilcox Sept. 3rd.

WISCONSIN NEWS
La Crosse—David Altman, a news agent on a railroad train running between Milwaukee and La Crosse, was arrested at the latter city, Friday, by United States Deputy Marshal Gantz on a charge of selling liquor to soldiers. Altman was arraigned before a court commissioner at La Crosse and after pleading not guilty was committed to the La Crosse county jail to await action of the grand jury. Bail was fixed at $5,000. Janesville—Congressman Henry Allen Cooper suffered a severe strain of his neck when thrown against the top of a taxi. He was driving to Edgerton to deliver a speech. Milwaukee—Within the next six weeks Wisconsin must supply 16, 980 common laborers for war industries, under government orders from the labor department received here Friday.
Ripon—Ripon college has been made an official institution of military training by the United States war department. Dean W. H. Barber has received a notice that Ripon has been placed on the accredited list and that a regular army officer would be detailed to the college to take charge of the work. Under the plan all male students will be subject to military training.
Sheboygan—His two sons, Werner and Helmuth, in active service in France, the Rev. John G. Runge has resigned as pastor of the Lutheran church in the town of Sheboygan Falls to enter the service. He preached his farewell sermon last Sunday and among other words said that he felt his country needed him more than his congregation.
Milwaukee—The first soldier to be cared for at the Milwaukee Soldiers' home during his period of convalescence has arrived from France. The wounded man is Maurice Leahy, who reached the Soldiers' home Friday. He had seen twenty-four years' service in the regular army before the present war broke out. He volunteered, however, and went to France with an Ohio regiment of The Rainbow division. He was wounded some months ago in the head.
Sheboygan—H. F. Hinze, a letter at Sheboygan, was dropped by Postmaster Frank Gottsacker for his pro-German activities and "unpatriotic actions."
Milwaukee—At a meeting of the Wauwatosa chapter of the Wisconsin Loyalty Legion resolutions were adopted asking United States District Attorney H. A. Sawyer to take immediate steps to present to the grand jury evidence of the alleged un-American actions of Victor Berger, editor of the Milwaukee Leader, a socialistic candidate for U. S. Senator, and that if a true bill is found against him urge an immediate trial.
Milwaukee—Tables, chairs, beds and other articles will be made more simple and in only five or six different styles, while brass beds will be eliminated until after the war, according to members of the Wisconsin Retail Furniture Dealer's association attending the annual convention of that body in Milwaukee this week. The manufacture of furniture will be stand-

The editor of "The Blade" will be in a position to ship three thousand Colored people from the South into the Eastern, Northern and Western cities. The war has been the means of thousands of doors being opened to Black men and women which heretofore have been closed, and they are getting the same wages that the white man has received. Hundreds of factories now are employing Colored men and women on salaries ranging from $3.50, $4.50, $5.00 and $5.50 per day. The proprietors of these large institutions tell us that these Colored men and women are making good, and they could use a hundred more daily. —Write Employment Dept.. Wis. Weekly Blade. Madison.

ELECT SPENCER HAVEN
ATTORNEY GENERAL
One of the best appointments Governor Philipp ever made was that of Spencer Haven, of Hudson, whom he selected to succeed Walter Owen, now on the supreme bench. It was in no way a political appointment. Governor Philipp had dozens of more active supporters among the lawyers of Wisconsin. Many of them would very gladly have sacrificed their private practices to become attorney general of Wisconsin, and exerted such pressure as they could command to land the office. Not so with Spencer Haven. He neither asked for it nor asked others to speak to Governor Philipp in his behalf. When he received the appointment it came as a complete surprise and a very genuine sacrifice was made by him when he accepted.
Now Attorney General Haven has so arranged his affairs at Hudson that he can continue to serve the state and his friends are distributing his nomination papers. Nomination papers are a bore, but in a lesser degree when they nominate for a office a servant who has been tried and found not wanting. There should be no bitch in the process which will put Spencer Haven back in the attorney general's office. The Blade will work untiringly for the nomination and election of the Honorable Mr. Haven.

REPUBLICAN SENATORS FOR
WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE
Republican senators in Washington in conference Saturday adopted a resolution asking their membership to support the pending woman's suffrage resolution before the senate and urging its adoption at the earliest possible date.
PETER H.
SOL. LEVITAN
We desire to call the attention of our readers to the announcement of Solomon Levitan, of Madison, candidate for the Republican nomination for State Treasurer which appears in another column of this issue.
With the business training Mr. Levitan has, coupled with the fact that the present State Treasurer has served three terms as Deputy State Treasurer and three terms as State Treasurer and is asking for a fourth term and believing that no man should entrench himself in public office for life we look with favor upon the candidacy of Mr. Levitan and urge that the voters remember him at the polls. Mr. Levitan is a self-made man in every sense of the word. Starting from the bottom of the ladder he has risen step by step until he became President of the Commercial National Bank of Madison.
Mr. Levitan is one of the common people, who takes a friendly interest in the welfare of the working classes and farmers and these people come to him daily to seek his sound business advice. If every voter knew him as his close personal friends do, the majority he would secure would be overwhelming.
CONSERVATION COMMISSION
MAY LIMIT KILLING
OF DEER
In an opinion rendered to the state conservation commission Attorney General Haven holds that the commission has full power to close the season for the killing of deer and may put into the effect the one buck law if it was desired. During the past two months the state conservation commission has held hearings in the 30 counties affected and it is probable that some order limiting the killing of deer will be issued.
"Senator Wileox is one of the few men in Wisconsin public life today who is big enough to be classed as a statesman. There is no narrow minded prejudice, no compromising with corporate interests and no wavering in public duty in his makeup. Big, broad-minded and loyal, conscientious, fair and honest, he is above the average of men in public life. It was he who fought for equitable tax levies upon war profits, it was he who advocated railway crossing safeguards, it was he who always championed the cause of the farmer and the laboring man. He would not stand by and see his country insulted or its people wronged without lifting his voice in their defense and he never was so happy as when fighting in the cause of liberty and justice."—Bloomer Advance.

W'LCOX MEETING IN BELOIT
An Enthusiastic Gathering - Able Addresses Hon. W. S. Williams, Chairman.
If any one doubts how the race in Beloit stands on the Governmental election, as between Senator Roy P. Wilcox and Gov. Emanuel L. Philipp, such doubts would have been removed when on last Tuesday night more than 800 people heard the speakers and saw the demonstration by the voters of Rock County.
The speakers, Prof. G. P. L. Gordon, J. Anthony Josey and G. H. DeReef, who did not mince words in telling their people of the insults, injustices that were heaped upon them by the Governor.
The candidacy of Senator Wilcox was indorsed and he was lauded by each speaker for his just, fair and impartial dealing in the past; for unlike the present Governor, Senator Wilcox is not an advocate of Tilman, Vardaman and Cole Blease doctrines.
With our people Philipp can not be compared to Wilcox. The race throughout Wisconsin is solid for Wilcox.

Governor E. L. Philipp, who is a candidate for the nomination of Governor of Wisconsin is not entitled to the support of the colored people, because it is a known fact that he is prejudiced toward them.
A close observation of his actions in the past will show that here and there the real man has found occasion to portray himself. The governor before his election found time to address his colored brethren at every invitation extended him, and promised them should they honor him with their suffrage and he be elevated to the office of Governor he would give them recognition and a chance and a square deal. For four long years he has given the Race no recognition and when asked to address their gathering he has always been too busy and send his messenger as his representative. This is his right but the Negroes of Wisconsin object and resent such practices, not because the

With Only Two Dissenting Votes, Adopts

ll Defeated.
In his Decoration Day address at Baraboo Governor Philippe declared that the ignorant Negro should not be permitted to vote, that he favored a literacy test on all Negroes who desire to exercise the citizens' right of franchise. The Governor, declaring that the Negro does not know how to use the ballot intelligently, said: "When the Negro advances in education (if he ever shall) to the point where he possesses those qualifications that every American voter should possess, he will be in a position to demand his rights and get them."
Observe the modifying parenthetical remark, "if he ever shall." Apparently the Governor doubts it. Let his doubt stand without comment, but let us ask the Governor why he limits the literacy test to the Negro. To do so is race discrimination; it is the repudiation of every principle that brought the Republican party into being. It is class discrimination. It is the repudiation of the life labor of Abraham Lincoln. And yet Governor Philippe asks the voters of Wisconsin to recognize him as a Republican.
There is wisdom in the demand for a literacy test for those who seek to vote. We agree with the Governor that it is a physical impossibility for the ignorant to vote intelligently. We believe in a literacy test. But we do not believe in a literacy test against any single class, no matter how you class them, by race, color, creed or property claim. If he is to apply the literacy test either here or in Mississippi, let him apply it to everybody who would seek to exercise the rights of American citizenship, be he black or white or some sunburn shade in between—let him give the ballot to every AMERICAN who can pass the literacy test, whether that AMERICAN be man or woman. It is the votes of the intelligent AMERICANS we want, but not the vote of one race or of one sex.—Wis. State Journal.
MAN POWER BILL PASSED
House of Representatives, With Only Two Dissenting Votes, Adopts Measure to Extend Draft Age to From 18 to 45 years. Motion to Recommit Bill Defeated.
By a vote of 336 to 2 the house of representatives in Washington on Saturday passed the administration man power bill, making the draft age limits 18 to 45, substantially as drafted by the war department.
The only votes against the bill were east by Representative Meyer London of New York, Socialist, and Representative Gordon of Ohio, Democrat, who has just been defeated for renomination because of his opposition to war measures.
Amendments to the bill agreed to by the house provide that members of congress and state legislators are not amenable to the draft; that farmers are to be placed in deferred classes; that the provost marshal general may cause men to be re-examined after their cases have been decided by local boards, and that citizens of co-belligerent countries will be subject to the draft except where treaties would be violated.
Representative Dent of Alabama, chairman of the house military affairs committee, made a determined effort at the last minute to obstruct the passage of the bill. He offered a motion to recommit the bill with instructions to the committee to return it with the McKenzie amendment, designed to prevent the drafting of youths under 20 years of age until all men over that age in class I had been taken.

messenger is a Negro, but on account of his position.
When the great Negro Exposition was in session at Chicago and the Governors of each State were in attendance on their State day to bid the Negro Godspeed, it was too sad when Wisconsin day came and indeed the Negroes made a creditable showing, a day and time when the Governor or some Dignitary of the State representing him should have been present to encourage our effort we were confronted with his messenger with a long letter.
This is the time for the Negroes of Wisconsin to show their manhood, this is the time to register protest against such practices.
Remember his unwarranted attack in a Memorial Day address at Baraboo and the broad and liberal stand in our defense by the Wisconsin State Journal, a copy of which we append.
Amendments to the bill agreed to by the house provide that members of congress and state legislators are not amenable to the draft; that farmers are to be placed in deferred classes; that the provost marshal general may cause men to be re-examined after their cases have been decided by local boards, and that citizens of co-belligerent countries will be subject to the draft except where treaties would be violated.
An attempt to have men between the ages of 18 and 20 called only after all in class 1 over 31 years had been called failed.

The senate failed to reach a vote, as had been expected. So many senators indicated a desire to discuss the bill that Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, chairman of the senate military affairs committee foreseeing the impossibility of reaching a vote today, asked that it go over until Monday.

Fox of Middle Ave. Their stay will be indefinite. Mrs. C. Weatherspoon, Canton, Miss., has joined her son at 41 Maple St. Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Williams had as their dinner guests Sunday Mrs. G. E. McFarland, Miss Viola Dale, Rev. Z. P. Smith and Rev. and Mrs. G. J. Fox.
The pulpit of Emanuel Baptist Church was occupied at each hour of worship Sunday by Rev. Z. P. Smith, pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Madison. The Doctor delivered powerful and instructive discourses. His visit was highly appreciated by the Church.
The Social given by the Baptist Church last week was a success, and the committee, Mesdames M. McCord, M. Bell, M. Maston and E. Harris are deserving of much praise for their uniting efforts, and to those having given donations for their generosity. The Church Choir is to be mentioned for its regularity and helpful service at each meeting. We feel proud of them.
Capt. J. P. and Mrs. Bufford
Chicago, Ill.

HON. O. S. TORGESON
Stoughton, Wis.
The Blade in presenting the cause of this worthy candidate for County Clerk feels that he is entitled to the support of the county. He is a man who has always stood for the true Republican principles and has never sought office to make good. He does not believe that a man should have a tenure on any office and come before the voters of Dane County with a clean record. Vote for Torgeson for County Clerk and you will have rendered the county a great service.

To the Readers of "The Blade"—
Many of you doubtless have
read the announcement in this paper,
made some time ago, that I
am out for the nomination on the
Republican ticket for the office of
District Attorney for Dane County,
at the Primary Election, September
3rd, 1918.
To some of you who know me,
I need no introduction. It is for
the benefit of those who have
never met me, and know nothing
about my life, that I am writing
here a short sketch of those events
in my life, which will furnish the
voters with the information upon
which they will base their vote.
I was born and raised in the city of Madison. Received my education in the Common schools of this city. In 1909, I graduated from the Law School, Northwestern University, Chicago Evanston. Mrs. Mattie Johnson, Evanston, is in the city as the goest of Mrs. Mamie Williams, 622 Posplar St. She is a prominent member of S. M. T. Since 1911 I have been engaged in the practice of law at Madison.
Further than the above information, it is not necessary here to go into the discussion of any issues, except to say that I am for winning this War. That if nominated and elected to the office of Distriet Attorney for Dane County, I shall try to serve the State, and treat all people fair, whether white or black. Signed. Le Roy D. Butler.
