warts are break = into Dane county.
There are Il L mber Of tokens to
prove this. One young man acknowl-
edges that he lis charge of stalwart
interests and the rural press. Three
stalwart candidates were recently
launched by Professor Anderson's in
nuential Norwegian paper published at
Madison. Two Ofsthem were for coun-
ty office, cOnfessedly antiLaFollette,
and the other, Nels Holman, the Deer
field editor, for state treasurer. Mr..
Holman is as aggressive against the
governor as any man can be. And now
comes II. G. Adams candidacy for con-
Sress. Mr.. Adams is an interesting
figure in public life. He is one of these
genial, amiaDle men, who recognizes no
factions. He and his friends insist he
has been Loyal throughout, and his
critics style him an opportunist. De
spite the party commissions during the
Enthusiastically aFOllette administra-
tons the dairy and food commissioner
has glided happily from one to the 9th
er and now in the march Of events he
offers himself for congress, with a
full StalWart backing and no doubt
some and perhaps all of the LaFOllette
backing. Mr.. Adams has always been
friendly with the leaders on both Sides
Although he made a carefully prepared
speech for the primary election bill
and was in daily consultation with the
governor and his leutenants Mr. Pits
ter and the other Milwaukee stalwSalts
were his personal friends, and he could
be found frequently exchanging bad
image with them in the hotel corridors.
If any one has verified the adage that
one can catch more flies with molasses
than vinegar, Mr.. Adams is the man.
Mr.. Adams desires to be the ,candi-
date of ali Dane county men, If he
can get the county support he thinks
he can carry the convention. Mr..
Dahl of this county has held the seat
give it to another county, but Mr.. Adj
ans is undoubtedly the ablest of the
candidates and the argument for him
is that he can do more for the district
than any other man. This is not i'm
probable, as he is very effective in get
ting results. There has been a feel
ing that the Second district is entitled
to a stronger man at Washington than
it has had for many years, and Mr..
Adams would get the votes of these
people. He has made an excellent
dairy and food commissioner, not only
in state regulation of abuses, but in
advancing legislation at WASHINGTON.
1t is possible that some man of unus-
ual strength i'll Dane county will be
put up against him. c. Il. Buell., the
Madison attorney, has been mentioned.
Governor LaFOllette is said to have de-
clared that the administration will
keep it's hands off congressional fights.
The stalWart programme is to have
congressional conventions as early as
possible and attempt to put through
pro- Whitehead resolutions. This, it
is supposed, will have effect on state
sentiment. Governor LaFolIette de-
ivered an address to farmers in JEFF
ferson county the other day which
NN;ts strong and made a good impress
sion. His health is practically re-
stored and from now on he will be q
factor to be counted. It is expected
that Senator Spooner will voice his
willingness to return to the senate be-
foHe long.
