Evidences That the Madison
Lawyer is DESTROYS OF
Harmony.
THE GLORIOUS "KICKAPO0. +"
Wisconsin Grand Army Encampment
To Be Held Next Month at Su-

reaches my readers Mr.. LaFOllette
may have reached q decision. 1t is
increasingly clear that the Madison
lawyer is disposed to stop fighting and
to live in harmony with his brethren.
Mr. LaFOllette has evidently changed
his tactics. He proposes to be anna
BILE. At the recent state convention
he abandoned his former plan Of keep
ing himself out of sight in the Plank
intOn hotel and was a genial and con-
SpicuOuS figure at the PtiSter hotel,
supposed to be dedicated to the con-
servatiyes and the old regime ReOub-
licans There are many indications
that Mr.. LaFOllette reasons that it is
best to cease "kicking'' and to join
State reflects this spirit. The bitter
ness has disappeared from its columns.
There are no more attacks on ScOfield.
In recent editorial on the Quay case,
while that senator was roundly de-
nOunced and Mr.. Quarles praised for
having voted against him, there was
not the slightest fling at the attitude
Senator SpOOner felt called upon to
take
The Mineral Point Tribune, which
as amiable as a lover in June. La
Toilette has been esteemed an unfOr-
giving man, or as the faithful about
the capitol say, 'an Indian" But
whether because he chooses the better
part for it's own sake, or whether in
politics, men take on moods at option
Mr.. IAFOllette evidently means to
work with his party. One is surprised
to learn that the "old-liners" are not
hostile to a Cancellation, with Occa-
siOnaI exceptions though, they are
suspicious. One of LaFOllette's friends
is credited with making Overtures to
high rank workers of the dominant
regime with the assurance that the
Little Giant will ''behave himself
from now on. The emissary may have
spoken without authority Whether
this means to make him governor now
I Go not gather, but while the bars
will be let down easily enough for so
powerful a worker as Mr.. LaFOllette,
likely enough he will be asked to bring
forth fruits meet for repentance be-
fore being allowed to shake the per-
simmons tree. The embarrassment is
that if LaFollette must stay in the
probation box, it will be for four
v - y
gOvernOr). and "BOb" never can wait
that length of time. He will be ''fOr-
given readily enough, though with
out any question he should drop a
courtesy or two to Governor Scofeld,
who was unwarrantably attacked in
the last campaign Governor Scofield
himself, while the history of the in
Justice ranlIes, would not be found

lures. LaFollette is able and honest,
and Il mighty political organizer. Like
enough. the Republicans of Wisconsin

if the Democracy should ever again

This Years Milwaukee Festival.
Milwaukee will put on another car
nival Just before July 4. The dates
are June 1929. There have been some
filings from some of the smaller places
in the state, alleging that carniyals

BILE to stOre-keeperS and others else
where, but the disposition seems to be
to regard it as a state festival.

Dearance to the entire city. This year
