Mr.. 7. N. OKERSTROM.
The Gentleman From Port Vino
Gives His Views.
THE PEOPLE WANT sPoONER.
The Delegate Declares That HIS Country
men Have Their Eyes Open, and will
Declare Most EmphaticaIly for
Spooner for the Senate.

Z. N. Okerstrom Of Port Wing, was
one OF the delegates to the Republi-
can convention who, now that the
convention is over, is highly
indignant at the tactics of the
majority. Mr.. Okerstrom is a
prominent lumbermen and realizes
that the object of the LaFollette
supporters was to secure the retire
ment of Senator Spooner. Mr..
Okerstrom has carefully guaged the
sentiment of his countrymen, the
Scandinavians, and believes that the
La Toilette supporters have started
a movement that will react against
them completely.
SeandinaviaEs Were BlindfoIded
In an interview in the Milwaukee
Sentinel he said: 'SsThe Scandina-
VANS have been blindfolded, but |
think that they are now beginning
to see. met some of my country
men at Superior last night, who
were delegates to the convention and
who told me that they never realized
that they were hurting Spooner
when they voted for the majority
report. They were Spooner and La
Toilette men and they did not think
that by standing by La Toilette
they were injuring Spooner. They
expressed themselves freely on the
point and they feel just as other
Scandinavians of the state will feel.
There is no question that if the
Scandinavians knew that they had
done anything, to in any way in
jure Spooner they would be sorry,
and | am sure that if forced to de-
eide between the two men they would
drop La Toilette at any time for
Spooner. I think the turning down
of the minority Spooner plank will
open their eyes.
Will Not be Fooled
Il don't think they will be caught
by the argument that if Spooner
cannot subscribe to the platform he
should not be elected. They will be
shrewd enough to see that Spooner
has nothing to do with state issues
and cannot comply with the demand
of the platform and that the plank
as worded was intended to retire
him from the senate. They had
been told that all the talk about
Spooner being in danger was only a
trick of thesstalwarts to defeat La
Toilette. La Follette's friends had
insisted that he was not against
Spooner and that no stumbling
block would oe put in Spooner's
way. They are all true Republicans,
and when they come to understand
that trap has been set for them
and they have walked into it, they
will be angry. I think they will in
sist upon electing members to the
legislature who will be for Spooner
without any conditions.
1T seems strange to rne that far
mer delegates should have been will
ing to pass such a resolution when
Spooner has done SO much for farm
ing interests. His advocacy of the
oleomargarine bill, which certainly
benefited the farmers more than
anyone else, should have been suffi
cient to convince them that he was
their friend. This talk of subscrib-
ing to the platform is nonsense
They should remember that Spooner
stood for Republican platforms, both
state and national, before some Of
the delegates who voted for tina
resolution were born. To ask sucl
