The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1900-06-01

Beaver Dam Citizen says that Brad
ford is the favorite in that part OF
Dodge county. Of course, the Madi-
son State is heartily for him.
The Palmyra Gazette is critical. The
Lake Mills Leader is strong for White
head. The Kilbourn Mirror pays a
hearty tribute to Mr.. LaFollette and
says only a combination can beat him.
Mr.. LaFollette is strong in Dane
county, of course, though here, too,
are some of his bitterest enemies. The
State Journal greeted his announce
ment as was fitting for home candi-
date. The element that makes the
10000 people of Dane county solicit
GUS is with reference to the reelection
of Senator SpoOner in 1908.
The Third district is the home Of
Congressman Babcock, and numbers
a host of fighters. What the talk of an
alliance between LaFollette and Bah
cock amounts to is not yet definitely
known.
The City of Milwaukee,.
The Fourth district is the heart Of
Milwaukee, and is fighting ground. It
is significant that Ex-Governor Hoard
has not yet found utterance as to La
Toilette announcement, one theory be-
ing that the plans to help his friend by
quietude and thus avoid stirring up
the Germans. The Milwaukee News.
which is counted popular, If not
Populistic sheet, is helping Mr.. LaFo1-
lette as best it can. The Sentinel is
counted his especial champion, though
not yet as aggressive. The Evening
Wisconsin has formerly been bitterly
opposed to Mr.. LaFollette, but is now
neutral.
In "Long" Jones' Country.
In the Fifth district Mr.. LaFollette
Senator Long" Jones plans to have
and to hold the delegation. The
Waukesha Freeman does not see how
Mr.. LaFollette can get as many votes
in the convention as he did before.
The Sheboygan Telegram Is non-com-
initial
The Sixth district is Senator Saw
yer's old home. The Oshkosh North
western records that the Madison man
announces himself. 1t wishes he had
not "come out" at this time. The Om-
70 paper acknowledges that his meth
DDS have not always been approved Of
but is willing to believe he has been
converted and will make model gov
ernor. The Manitowoc Times Is not
specific in it's comment. The MOntel-
10 Express thinks the Republican man.
ayers do not want Mr.. LaFollette. The
Fond du Lac Commonwealth is friend
Iy, but non-committal. The Berlin
Journal hopes LaFollette will be de-
feated. A little paper, the Menasha
Breeze, published a few miles away
from Sawyer's city, has created some
sensation by an editorial almost def
antly in favor of Mr.. LaFollette. The
Dartferd Reporter reports that Mr..
Bradford twas at Berlin and Princeton
last week and all Of whom met him
were pleased with his genial and
straightforward ways"
Candidate Stebbins' Territory.
The Eighth district includes Senator
Stebbins home. The Stevens Point
Journal is decidedly unfriendly. The
Waupaca Post discusses the matter
merely as news, though it hopes to
''avoid a repetition Of the digraceful
fight of two years ago" The Waupaca
Record complains that LaFollette is
too often a candidate. The Appleton
Post does not expect Mr.. LaFOllette's
election, and sees no reason why he
should be stronger now than formerly.
The Green Bay Gazette is the chief
Stebbins advocate, but greets Mr.. La
Toilette fairly. The Marion Advertis-
er cries 1--WE believe there will be but
little if any opposition in securing
solid county delegation in his favor.
Hurrah once again for 'Bob!"
The Waupaca Republican says:
''LaFollette is all right"
Way Up North.
In the Ninth district, where Mr..
Stephenson lives there is a good deal
of LaFOllette sentiment, though many
are nominally for Stebbins. Ex-MayOr
Farr of Phillips, who holds a federal
position, thinks that I-aFollette, Steb-
bins and Bradford will divide the del
egateS in that district. The Ashland
Press has some coiorless comment The
Marinette Eagle, whose editor has
enjoyed Scofeld favors, is unfa-
vorable to Mr.. LaFollette and expects
to see combination among the other
candidates to defeat him. 1t warns all
that he Is a tireless worker. The Neils-
vile Republican says Mr.. LaFOllette
will get delegates in all quarters and
would not be SURPRISED if the result was
to bring out Governor Scofeld again.
The Wausau Record, Mr.. Wheelock's
paper, is one of the aggressive ones
in opposition. The Merrill Advocate
reads as if the editor wanted to be
friendly should the Madison man be
nominated.
Northwestern Wisconsin.
In the Tenth district, stretching
from Chippewa Falls north to Supe-
rior, the Hudson Star and Times says
there is a time when bygones should
be bygone, but good-naturedly pro-
poses to work all the harder for Mr..
Bradford.
The Rice Lake Chronotype disposed
of Mr.. LaFollette's announcement by
saying: Mr.. LaFollette is an able
man, a shrewd politician and with the
assistance of his friends will make a
hot campaign"
The Dunn County News Crock
Flint's) gives Mr.. LaFollette a dispas-
sionate but fair welcome. Mr.. Flint

the marshalship but he keeps his self
