WON'T SUPPORT SPOONER.

Gov. La Toilette has revealed his
position regarding the return of Senator
Spooner to the senate. The following
confab was held at meeting at Apple
ton on Saturday and we reprint it from
the Milwaukee Sentinel:
Then the speaker f. w. Heinemann,
justice Of the peace and the defeated
conservative candidate for the Repub.
lican nomination for assembly in the
First district Of Outagame county,
made his words distinguishable.
Governor La Toilette, would like to
ask You question: he said.
81 will try to answer it to the best of
my ability, was the reply Then Mr.
Heinemann said:
Governor, In view Of the brilliant
record made by Senator Spooner, to
which You have so eloquently referred
in your speech. and in view Of the
splendid campaign he is making for
the entire Republican ticket, are you
in favor of the unconditional reelection
of Senator Spooner to the United States
senateT"'
Il will answer you in this way, sir:
am for the success and for the princip-
leg Of the Republican party, and the
day and the hour that Senator Spooner
raises his voice for the principles Of the
Republican party, ~ laid down in the
state platform, will rails. my voice for
his reelection to the United States
senate; because | then can do 30 in con-
formity with the platform of my
party
1t needs no microscope to discern Gov
La Follette's attitude, The Stalwart
Republicans might M well understand
now that if Mr. La Toilette ia returned
to the executive Office he will do what
lays in his power to encompass the defeat
of Senator Spooner. Every Stalwart vote
given Gov. La Toilette is a nail in
Senator Spooner's coffin. There is no
beguiling this clearly established fact.
