Discussions Of State Issues Calm

THE RECENT DAZZLE EPISODE
Showing That in Politics One Must
Keep 1t Up When He Has Loosed
Political Bee in Another
Mans Bonnet.

Madison, WIS, May O.-SenalOr
Whitehead is writing a series of arti-
cles for the Milwaukee Sentinel with
reference to the work Of the last leg
islature. They are characteristic of
the man-put rp carefully as law
yer does; devoid Of abuse, impersonal
statements Of fact. These are in full
fillment Of his promise at the time he
accepted the nomination that he would
discuss the issues later. While an aca-
demic appeal to the people by this
method is not as moving as an effec-
tive stump discussion, it will no doubt
cement the conviction that Senator
Whitehead is a substantial man and
should help him.
The Dahle Incident.
The campaign goes forward rapidly.
The Dahle incident in the Second
district is being worked for all it is
worth by the stalwart as an ilritant in
Dane county. Mr.. Dahle's family is
| the leading one in Mt. Horeb a place
| or 100 people, in the western end Of
the county. With his brothers he con-
ducts one OF those country stores the
| size of whose stock and the extent Of
whose tradings surprise the city man.
| The father is an old gentleman who
is worth number of hundreds of thou
| sands Of dollars. He is quiet to the
| retiring point. Unlike many money
loaners, he is popular. He has ALWAYS
| been careful to lend on good security.
| ana, this point attained, he has been
| very lenient and accommodating to the
| hundreds Of farmers in the country
round about having relations of some
sort with all the people The sons. too.
| are fine, clean men, With large families
| ana connections. The effect of all this
is to make the Dahle detection quite a
factor in a Norwegian section of the
| county regarded as LaEOllette terri
| tory, but not so serious as it would
be If Mr. Dahle's alliance with his
former opponents had anything of sub
stance i'll it. The fact is, Mr.. Dahle
| has had two terms and he has no claim
on another that approaches the nature
of right which the voters or his for
| mer political friends must respect.
| Governor LaFollette made Mr. Dahle's
congressional career possible-toolz
| MIN from the ranks of Dane county
| business men, hundreds of whom had
| fitness
1t seems ungracions, to put it mildly.
Tor MI. Dahle to raise fuss and put
club III the hands of the governors
| enemies because the governor will not
make Dahle's cause his own a third
| ume. But, of course, Dahle likes
! washington, likes the Iife-presuma-
| Oily his women folks enjoy it, too. He
| mas seen Mr.. BabcOck .renOminated
| with hands down and hears all the 9th
ers OF the Wisconsin delegation MAX
| Ing plans for two Years more. and life
behind the counter at Mt. Horeb looks
oull py comparison. 1t is an unhap-
Ply incident, and perhaps tcalmer rea-
son may induce him to withdraw. The
StalWart leaders, who are encOura pino
| him in his rebellion against his old
TREND, the governor, who has done so
much for DAZZLE, cannot intend to push
MS campaign far, for II. c.. Adams is
believed to be their man. That gem
'tleman' with his usual amiability, is
making supporters in all camps.
