OPINIONS OF
THE PRESS,

Robert M. La Toilette is a disgrace
to the Republican party of Wisconsin.
In truth, he is not Republican and
his whole career proves it. Oconto
county should register an emphatic
disapproval of his bombastic appeals
to Gods patient poor" by sending
solid Republican delegation to the
state convention to protest and vote
against his renomination.-Gill
Times.
WHEN Gov. La Toilette signed the
Overlook ice bill, he must have known
that it would not stand the test of the
courts. But that was nothing to him.
He signed it to oblige his friend Over
beck, and did not care if it drove all
the ice men out Of the state, and sent
with them the thousands of dollars the
companies spend for labor in The dull
season every winter. But Gov. La
Toilette does not care anything for the
poor man except when his vote is
necessary.
If taxation reform and not primary
election was the principal issue before
the last legislature, as the admins
tration strenuously tries to make the
people believe, how is it that the gov
ernor's chief lieutenant in pushing
the primary election bill through and
who was appointed to one of the
latest offices in his bestowal, State
Game Warden Overlook, voted with
the railroads and against the people"
on every measure that came before the
Assembly for action.
Times.
1t is deplorable that the Hon. John
c.. SpOoner's name has been dragged
into the gubernatorial fight, but such
is the case. In one of the adjoining
counties some of the Half-breeds open
ly express their antagonism to Mr.
Spooner, than whom no ADLER states
man ever represented the State of Wis
cOnsin, and of whom President Roose-
welt said, that it would be in the
nature of public calamity if he was
not returned to the Senate; that it
would be an especial calamity for him

est service to the nation and to the
administration. -Fairchild Observer.

REPUBLICANISM VS.,
LA FOLLETTEISM.

La Follette's double taxation and
other reform ideas will be felt next
year worse than this unless he is re-
lieved of full control.
Herrld.
A vote for La Toilette delegates to
the state convention means vote for
the retirement of Spooner, the ablest
statesman in the country. How do you
stand?-Tomah Times.
If Governor La Toilette is the friend
of the poor man his friends claim he
is why did he refuse to give his
approval to law which would prevent
his paying tax on what he owes as
he is now compelled to dow aushara
Argus.
THE FACT that Gov. La Toilette We
toed the Frost Mortgage bill should be
proof enough for any man that he does
not care for the poor man with mort
gage On his home, half as much as he
does for the one who is wealthy enough
to have money out at interest.
The man who has to borrow money
finds that he has to pay a much higher
rate of interest than he did two years
ago, thanks to the s'reform" methods
of the present state administration. A
vote for Mr.. La Toilette at the caucus
es means continuance of the present
unsteady feeling in money matters
Platteville Witness.
Speaking of the Frost mortgage bill,
Judge Gibson approving it said: ut
is the greatest step towards tax reform
Wisconsin has ever taken at any one
time.n Yet Governor La Toilette kill
ed it, because he did not personally or
politically like Mr.. Frost. Is such a
man big enough to be governor of a
great commonwealth Hudson Star
Times.
Wisconsin wants Republican candi-
date for governor and not man who
thinks Robert M. La Toilette is great
er and wiser than the Republican
party. Unfortunately, our present
governor is very much of that opinion.
1t would be a good thing for the party
to turn him out before he turns it into
the wallows OF Albany

A good joke is related, at the ex-
pense of a modest, young Dakota
newspaper man. 1t is to the effect
that the pusher of the pencil went out
to report party the other evening.
where the home had recently been
blessed with new baby.
Accompanied by his best girl, he
met the hostess at the door, and after
usual salutations asked after the new
baby's health. The lady who was
quite deaf and suffering from the grip,
thought he was asking about her cold,
and told him that though she usually
had one every winter, this was the
worse one she had ever had; it kept
her awake at night, and confined her
to her bed.
Then noticing that the scribe was
getting quite pale and nervous, said
that she could tell by his looks that he
was going to have one just like hers,
and asked him to come in and sit
down. The paper came out as usual
the next week, but the local editor has
quit enquiring about new babies.

The governor signed the ice tax bill
which was so clearly unconstitutional
that those opposed to it made no
attempt to defeat it, knowing it would
be knocked out by the supreme court,
as it has, of course, been. He signed
it because it was eehampioned by
Henry Overlook, now his chief game
warden. He vetoed the Frost mortgage
bill on the grounds of its being uncon-
stitutional when there are serious
doubts on this point. He had other
reasons for vetoing it, He had a

crops, said that If the rust does not
strike the cereals, prospects are good for
large crops. Early corn is looking we'll
but late planted is looking poor

rain will damage it materially. Garden
vegetables are abundant but present
