The Midway,

The Wheeling West Virginian
had the following to say about the
Midway:
The Midway. This is the show
which never fails to draw, nc
matter how often the visitor to
Orientals has been gold bricked. =
In this case he gets run for his
money and never stops until he
has made the rounds. Midway
square was alive with people yes
terday and pandemonium reigned
supreme with tom-tom and Gym
bal, kettle drum and other wierd
instruments, and above all the
sonorous tones OF. the "barkers
who tell you of the good things
inside and you never fail to "loos.
en-" and enter in search of the
real thing.
The oriental Is fascinating,
with all its elephants, camels,
wild beasts, dancing girls, and all
which goes to make up a Midway.
But such is life, and as variety is
the spice of existence all has to be
taken in. The Midway in It's en-
tirety will be presented at the St.
Paul Street Carnival Monday.

La Toilette for Governor.

i
With all due Difference to the
claims to political preferment now
being urged by the various other
candidates for the Republican NOM
ination for governor, the JOURNAL
here takes occasion to express its
preference for Hon. Robert M. La
Toilette as the man to place at the
head of the Republican state ticket.
Mr.. La Toilette is gentleman OF
fine legal attainment, fuentspeak-
er, and his honorable congressi onal
career has given him an extensive
acquaintance with public affairs.
Upon economic questions affecting
the general welfare of the people, he
entertains broad and statesmanlike
views, which he does not hesitate to
express, whether popular or unpop-
ular ideas. The friends of other
candidates need noe hope to gain
anything by sneeringly referring to
Mr.. La Toilette as the professional
reformer. His study of questions
of an economic nature led him into
the belief that certain reforms ought
to be effected, and such reforms
were advocated by him with an
ability, courage and persistency
which made them part of the
Republican creed in Wisconsin two
years ago. He did not abandon his
party and join a professional reform
party, but earnestly sought to have
the Republican party take a hand
in the reform deal, and with bene-
fetal results. With loyalty to
party equal to that of any other
aspirant to the gubernatorial office,
he urged the adoption of reform
measures which were strenuously
opposed by many who were recog-
nized as party leaders. In this he
displayed a courage that is COM
mendable, and an adherence TO the
right from motives of principle m
stead of policy which stamp him as
possessing in a pre-eminent degree
those sterling qualities SO greatly to
be desired in the chief executive of
a state. Mr.. La Toilette has given
abundant evidence of the fact that
he is neither blatant demagogue
nor trucking politician, and he
has also shown himself to be worthy
of confidence and support of the
masses of the Republican party of
Wisconsin in his laudable ambition
to become Governor of this great
commonwealth.
