Why not a subsidy TO encourage farm
ingf 1t is the least protected of all the

five ceGts bushel out of the treasury
for all the grain he raises and five dollars
month toward the wages of his hired

The private wrscking organ Of a rich
tanner and would-he political boss of
Milwaukee, which was once the Milwau-
kee Sentinel. is doing great amount Of
vigorous whistling to keep up its politi-
cal courage. This personal spite and
corporation champion organ, which was
once a newspaper, has lavished dozens
Of columns the past week, with extravs-
giant headlines, in attempts to mislead
the people into the belief that Robert NJ.
LaFollette is loosing strength, political
ly and personally, in the Third congress
lonal district. Never was the governor
80 strong as to-day. Every vote of the
Third district will be registered for his
denomination when the state convention
meets. 1t is possible few professional
politicians, for commercial reasons, in
some of the cities of the district, may
have turned against him because he
dares TO advocate honest principles for
all the people, but his opponents win be
found practically the same old political
trafficing crowd who have always oppos
ed him and the true republican principles
he represents. Just remember, that the
Third district, like every other agricul-
tural community in the state, the coun-
try folks are awaiting the day whom
they will have opportunity to bury the
professional Dolitieians who oY,nose hon
est legislation, SO deep that Pfster's
$talwart bugle will never be able to
arouse them from the political stupor of
the most pronounced political Knockout
Wisconsin has ever witnessed. The
Third district will set the pace for this
joyful event, and whoever gets in the
way will suffer with those most guilty.
The people will know who are their
friends before power is entrusted to
them.

RARcocK AGAIN NOMINATED.

For the sixth time Hon. J. w. Babcock
has receive the republican nomination
for congress in this the Third district OF
Wisconsin. This is no mean honor, snd
especially when conferred upon one who
possesses no greater qualifications for
the high honor than do hundfeds OF his
constituents in the district. 1t is no re-
Election on Mr.. Babcock or those in pub
lie station who lack the polish and elo-
auence to charm the multitude with
oratory. 1t is the more creditable to
such class who accomplish results by
main strength and energy, and by close
application to the demands and desires
of constituents. 1t is one of Mr.. Bah
cocks strong characteristics that he
gives personal attention to the smallest
detail and request Of any and all who
ask his services and advice in matters
of both public and semi -public concern.
The popular belief that man must be
a gifted orator to make his influence
felt as a representative in congress is
fallacious.
Mr.. Babcock has ever been strong
advocate of republican" principles, and
very much of the success in keeping the
House of Representatives with strong
working republican majority has result
ed from his energy and ability to direct
affairs as campaign organizer. For
these accomplishments he is receiving his
reward from the party in denominations
without opposition.
1t is well known that the CENSOR has
questioned some poliMcal methods en-
ployed by Mr.. Babcock and his imme-
date representatives, and for such it
has no apology to offeri They hava been
prompted by honest motives. But they
are not such as to warrant the withhold
ing of earnest support by any true re-
publican who believes in party principle
There is no question but he will receive
the full party support. Republican sue
cess in the next House of Representatives
is imperative to the welfare of the coun-
try, and the loss of many close districts
viii endanger republican success.
