GLUEMS ORGANIZED
The Times Calls (or Statesmen
Rather Than Politicians to
Tak; the Helm of Stat.:
I.a9t Monday evening a Woodrow
Wilson (.'tub was organized at the
Court House in this city. A goodly
number of the leading citizens were
in attendance at the meeting and a
large enthusiastic club was organized
State Committeeman Hi 1 fowuing was
chosen as chairman ot the meeting
and F. O. Miller secretary and ^he
organization of the club was effected
by the election of the following of-
ficers, said club to be known as the
"Woodrow Wilson Club of Cleveland
County."
Judge J. W.Jackson being elected
president of the club, Judge N. E.
Sharp, vice-president: J O. hox, sec-
retary; Prof. A. K. Wolfe, asst-sec
retary; W. J. Hess, treasurer; Rev.
G. W. Taft, chaplain. The county
State Commit eeman and county
thairmanare members of the club
and tho sentiment in this county is
strong for the nomination of A ilson
as the Democratic Presidential candi-
date in 1912.
Mr. Wilson is a man of broad
statesmanship, progressive in the
true sense, democratic in ideas—not
merely in name, not a rabid partisan
but wbat might be t rrned a liberal
priz ng ideas and princip esof higher
impo t than partisan /.eal and regu
larity. Being well grounded in the
JefYersonlan ideas of goyernment, of
broad intellectuality and ripe in years
of experience observation, and study
of the national problems, he is most
thoroughly equipped to take charge
of the h lm of our national govern-
ment and steer the vessel safi-ly on
the tempestuous seas rather as states-
man than as a partisan and at the
time the people in this coun ry are
ready , p^iooking for sueh a captain
to take charge of the old ship, for to
let it remain linger in the hands of
time serving politicians is to invite
danger as to its safety.
In times o' great danger the peo-
ple ever turn towards statesmen
rather than politicians and the dang-
er of this country beeom ng so tight-
ly throttled by the trusts and great
combinations of capital, as to stille
freedom and endanger liberty, as to
warrant the people in turning to a
lender who will break up the trend of
government towards centralization of
power into the hands ol the few and
restore it to the hands of the many.
The candidacy of Gov. Woodrow
Wilson will appeal strongly to the
progressive and independent voters
of all parties and sbouid he be tbe
democratic nominee and President
Taft the repub ican nominee, the pro-
gressive republicans, w.li undoubtedly
line up strong for Mr Wilson. In bis
recent tour of the West Pres dent
Taft has evidently observed the trend
of sentiment for in his sp>ecb before
the Ham el ton club in Chicago last
Monday night he gave utterance to a
feeling qf- great uncertainty as to
the continuance of the republican
party in power "1 am hopeful that
the good people of the country, have
only chastened us in an oil' year, In
order that we may do better here-
after," said President Taft. He seems
to begin to realize that his adminis-
tration is nut pleasing to the peiple,
however, pleasing some maybe to the
trusts.

WORD TO FIRST VOTERS
Youn^ men, life is before you. Two voices are call-
ing you -one coming from the swamps of selfishness and
force, where success means death; and the other from the
hilltops of justice and progress, where even failure brings
glory. Two lights are seen in your horizon—one the fast
fading marsh light of power, and the other the slowly
rising sun of human brotherhood. Two ways lie open for
you—one leading to an ever lower and lower plain, where
are heard cries of despair and the curses of the poor, where
manhood shrivels and possession rots down the possessor;
and the other leaning off to the highlands of the morning,'
where are heard the glad shouts of humanity and where
honest effort is rewarded with immortality.

Washington, Oct. 31 —The demo-
crats, recording to eyen Republican
newspapers, ought to win in 1912,
All they have to do is to organize
and pull together. The republican
party can not defeat the democratic
candidate lor the presidency. The
omy possible thing that can prevent
the ebction of a democratic presi-
dent in 1912 is the Democrats them-
selves The opportunity Khe-e, and
from all parts of the country reports
are reachitti; head quarters that the
d inocrats realize it and are already
laying plans for a catnptign that will
result in the democrats sweeping the
couniry in 1912.
There seems to be no way for the
republicans to avoid defeat if the
democrats get together and work, as
they are now sta> ting out to do. If
Mr. Taft is renominated tbe insur-
gents will slasti him, and if Seuator
LaFollette is nominated the "old
guard" will slash him.
Indlonu Will Go Democratic
ihe I biladelphia North American,
republican ,sent its Washington cor
respondent, Angus McSw en, to In-
diana to report impartially on con-
ditions there. This i, a part of the
report he sent back to bis paper:
"Indiana is hopelessly lost to Pres-
ide t laft and the R publicans.
From no pdi. ations Is i pos-ible to
reason that they will be as strong as
they were in the last election, when
they lost every congressional district
but one, and conirol of the legisla-
ture. Since then the rapid develop-
ment of progressive republican senti-
ment into hn open hostility to the
I aft administrate, and the reaction-
ary policies which he advocates, mane
it obvious that with Taft as the Re-
publican candidate again, the vote
against him in this state will be over-
whe mlng"."
The Way The Wind Is Blowing
A convas of Green county, Io "a,
made by mail, may be accepted as a
thermometer showing how the wind
is blowing in that section. One hun-
dred and twenty letters were sent
out to Republicans only, and ninety-
seven answers were received. Some
of the questions presented and the
answers received are as follows:
If i'aft should be nominated will
you support him? Yes, 21; No, 64-
bl. nk. 12.

Do \ou approve of ihe attack of

Do you approve of Taft's veto of

SAYINGS
The Juniors of the University gave
a party Friday night at the Gym.
They had 110 extra t'Uests excepting
the class father and mother, Prof
j Irwin and Mrs. Hadsell, which made
twenty-six in all present. At the be-
ginning of tbe evening a march was
! played in which all took part. The
| young ladies were given pumpkins
on the back of whi;h they wrote the
j young men's fortunes. The young
men were given black cats and wrote
the young ladies fortunes likewise.
Much merriment was had over the
reading aloud of these futures.
The young men were given English
walnuts, to be used as dollars with
which to buy their partne-s for sup-
per Mr. Roy Ila/.eltine acted as auc-
tioneer and Miss Gladys Anderson
brought tbe highest price thirty sev-
en walnuts, t hocolaie and dough
