LAFOLLETTE'S VISIT.
Little Bob" Makes Trfumphal Visit
to Washburn.


to Washburn
Hon. Robert NJ. LaFollette's visit
to Washburn last Thursday morn
ing was triumphal advent of a
popular idol to the home a devot-
ed people. There is no place in
northern Wisconsin that has been
for years so enthusiast tically a La
Toilette center as Washburn, and
when his special train pulled
through here Thursday morning ali
the steam of mill whistles and
all the changing of bells echoed a
Joyous welcome. Mr.. LaFollette
went on to Bayfield,, anu returned
here at ten o'clock. At the depot
he was met by a reception COM
mittee, and he and his party were
escorted to the Opera House. The
streets had been appropriately
decorated for the occasion, and
banners; flags and bunting set the
town off in holiday attire. The
band played its best music, and the
people were in the best Of humor.
The Opera House was crowded with
people, and they were expectant.
Nels NJ. Oscar introduced the next
governor in one of his happy
speeches, and then for about thirty
minutes Little Bob talked on the
issues-confning himself principally
to The trust problem. His argu-
ment was fine, and everyone was de-
| lighted with the little General Of
Wisconsin politics. = All his old and
his new political acquaintance, felt
proud of their stanard bearer. His
speech helped to awaken enthusiasm
which has been a rather scarce
article so far in the campaign.
