THE Lake Mills Leader is generally

THE Lake Mills Leader is generally
pretty sound editorially. Here is the
way it spoke out last week:
Last Saturday The Milwaukee Sen
tinel quoted brief editorialfrO The
Leader for the purpose no doubt Of
chasing us among those who desire
a dark horse candidate or co mprO-
mise candidate for governor because
of the bitterness offeeling which seems
to be growing out of the present con-
test between Gov. Scofeld and Mr.
La Toilette We said that the voters
might wish for third candidate or
no candidate at all if more decent
processes are not employed. This
suggestion was based on the mean
things we have read in some of the
supporting journals of both sides,
which in our opinion are out of place,
uncalled for, and politically disgrace
ful regardless of their source. We
desire to inform The Sentinel and all
others who care to know our posi-
ton that we have no desire for
change of candidates; we have advo-
Gated the denomination OF Gov. SEQ
field since the day he made his desire
for denomination known, and moth
ing has yet revealed itself which has
had any influence in the direction of
changing our position. We abLor
political mud-slinging, and we are
glad to see that the few journals
which have been Singing mud which
support Gov. Scofeld are dropping
it, and we are sorry chat the sup
pOrters of Mr.. La Toilette are so
blind as to suppose they can fool the
people with the cry OF reform while
they are INDUCING IN such robust
Islander and villifcation of Gov. Sco-
field as appears in their journals.
The politics of the Republican party
may need reforming, may need g.
little cleaning, but how any man or
set Of men can hope to do the clean
ing with mud is beyond our reason
ing. 1t is the belief of large MAJ or
ity of observing people that Gov.
ScOfeld has made an excellent eXecu-
tive, and they are not prepared to
hear him decried as a villain, as the
party faction which opposes him is
doing, without resenting it, and
we are OF the opinion that such
resentment will so manifest itself in
the state convention as to renomi-
nate him oy q large majority. Gov.
Scofeld was nominated two years
ago after a lively, good natured
struggle; he was elected by a stupen
dous majority, and he has made q
thorough, capable and independent
governor, and, as he desires it, he
deserves a denomination and re-elec
ton, in the advocacy of which we be
lieve we are doing the best thing il

at large. II The Sentinel in it's en-
thusiasn for a new deal has placed
us among the compromises it cal
