GOV. LaFOLLETTES SPEECH
ON FRIDAY EVENING !!
SHOWED POOR TASTE. IT WAS 4 TRADE
AGAINST HIS OWN PARTY AND WHOLLY
IN EMULATION OF HIMSELF.

Of another candidate on the republican
ticket. John kempf, treasurer on the
state ticket, was on the platform but III
no way was he alluded TO; the whole
speech was in laudation of La Toilette
and clustering castiga-ion of his po-
iltleal enemies: there they sat upon the
platform aud in the boxGs,, they were
yilitied and traduced; he tried TO make
it appear that the republican members
of the legislature from this county had
betrayed their party and in the face of
the fact that those same gentlemen have
again been placed in nomination 10y
their party for the same Positions 1t
was rank treachery from any point of
view
The La Toilette special from Rhine
lander reached here little after 5
O'Clock aud was met by delegation of
citizens and the Fourth regiment band
The Governor was escorted to the opera
house, which was closely packed with
J those who wanted to listen TO his speech.
Mrs La Toilette, who travels with
her husband, Was accompanied to the
opera house by Mesdames, A. L. Kreut-
ger, HI. Z. McEachron and NJ. b. Rosen-
{ berry, and who occupied one of the
boxes with other ladies prominent in
our city. Mrs. La Toilette carried a
I
large bouquet of roses.
{ The governor was introduced by NJ
! B. Rosenberg, who is member of the
republican state central committee,
and opened his address by expressing
his pleasure at meeting so large an
audience in Wausau and Marathon
county. He dwelt for time upon ma
tional affairs and then mounted his pet
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and the primary cleo
ton question. He made overttres for
democratic votes and quoted Bryan
5quite literally. There were grim lot
of men who sat upon the platform, lis
tening, and their mood was anything
but angelic, as LaFollette ascertained
! when he turned to NJ A. Hurley for
confederation of statement regarding
taxation, saying that probably the
Judge knew more about the tax than he
did
{ II don't know anything about it. |
Sdidn't have anything TO do with it, re-
! piled Judge Hurley, rather sharply.
The governor appeared to redden a
trifle, as he answered:
81 was under the impression you
might have had a part in getting it out,
for it appears more to the advantage OF
the northern part of the state than tC
>any other section"
La Toilette talked for nearly three
hours, it would require too much space
to even give brief synopsis of what he
said, suffice to say that it was the same
speech, with a few diversions, which he
has made in several Of the large cities
of the state.
