Dcmagogues Especially in 1llinois) are adj
yiscd to consider the case Of Governor RusK, OF
Wisconsin He is the official who acted Vlg"r-
ously to sustain law and order in Wisconsin
when the Anarchists made trouble there In INC
early summer, and he put down the rioters al
most in day. The Republicans have Just re-
nominated him for Governor and honest Dem

it. and talk with savage emphasis OF then

Committee and he has made a full confession Of
his relations with Jachne in the business of re-

which the police tell is dramatic and exciting.
and fixes satisfactorily Jachnes guilt as a re-
Ccivcr Of stolen goods That point, however
