LETTER TO THE FREE PRESS.
The Warfare on Gov. laFoI,atte.

Mountain, Oconto County, Wis,
March ITO the Editor: What has
Gov. r. NJ. LaFollette done that he
should be censured and criticised in
his official capacity? Who is it that
is condemning his actions? Every
intelligent voter knows it is the tax
dodger; the subsidized press, and disap-
pointed Office-seekerS. The same class
fought him long before he was thought
Of for governor. They say he is against
Senator SpOOner for reelection. Did
anybody hear him say SO? They say
the primary election law was his pet
measure. The primary election law
has been discussed by the people in
Wisconsin for years and they
demanded it. Did not the Republican
convention adopt the primary election
plank?
Why is it that his enemies are
afraid to trust the common people to
choose their own representatives. by
having them nominated by popular
vote? Because it is easier to pack a
convention and legislature than to
control the majority of the voters
throughout the state, and less eX-
| pensive. They say he must be turned
down for reelection, if money Can do
| it. Two years ago certain gentle
| man living less than n hundred miles
from Madison said the same thing
| He must be turned down if it takes
$50 900 to do it, He did not down
him. But l guess he did not expect
| that much.
They say the governor is dangerous.
| admit it. He is dangerous to tax
dodgers. Two years ago the senators
and assemblymen, elected with
| LaFollette, promised the taX-rfdden
people that they would give them
relief, and a primary election law, and
carry out the platform adopted by d
| Republican convention held at Mil.
waukee. Did they do it? No. The
majority went back on their pledges
to the people. Did the governor
violate his pledges to the people? He
Ibid not. He stood steadfast with Z
minority at his back and fought
the majority of legislators anC
reminded them of their pledges to the
people for equal taxation and primary
election law, but of no avail.
| Hunt up the record of the last
legislature and every senator anC
aSsemblyman who violated his pledge.
made to the people, should be retired
forever when the term of his office
lexpires.
| LaFolette should not be turned
down. He should be re-nOminated anC
detected with even a larger majority
than the last time. He is for clear
politics and good government, but i
he is to serve the people of this great
commonwealth another term, it must
be the common people, the farmers
the laboring people, the middle class
who will nominate and elect him.
Henry johnson, our present assem-
blyman from OcOntO county, must be
turned down, too, they say, because he
stood by the governor and did not
violate his pledges made to the
people. Henry Johnson should bt
re-nOminated and elected. He has
been an honor to the state and OcOnt(
county, which he represented.

HATLEY HAS ACCEPTED
Contest for the Northwestern BILL
lard Championship EN- mblem to
Take Place in September.

George Spears Of this city has received
letter from w. F. Hatley of Duluth, in
which the latter expresses his willingness
to arrange a match for the possession Of
the northwestern billiard championship
emblem. Hatley suggests, however, that
the match would be more successful If
played later in the season, and would like
to arrange the contest for September. He
also suggests that the match be at 400
points, instead of 300, if the consent of
the Brunswick Bake Collender company,
the donators of the cup, to this change
can be secured a,$
According to the conditions under which
the emblem was donated, all champion
ship matches for its possession must be
one game Of 800 points, 14inch balk line.
Spears, however, is willing to make the
change proposed by Hatley, and inasmuch
as both players are agreed upon this
point, it is not believed that any trouble
will be experienced in securing the con-
sent of the donators. -,@.1.-
Spears is also willing to agree to the
postponement of the match for a few
week, but inasmuch as Peterson of Fargo
wants to challenge the winner for ;the
emblem, Spears feels that in justice to the
North Dakota man, the contest should
take place in time for Peterson to arrange
second match. in case Of Spears defeat
before the year elapses which will make
Hatley the permanent owner of the
trophy. 1t is probable, therefore, tina
the match will take place during Septem
ber in Duluth.

round, and was given the decision at the end
OF the fight. Feltz was very wild in his de-
livery, and during the first three rounds was
unable to reach Forbes with any effect.
In the fourth Feltz changed his tactics and
used a straight left for the body AT this
style Of fighting he showed a slight i'm
provement, but Forbes his master IN
every exchange.
Forbes used a straight left jab in connec-
ton with a right hook, which Feltz seemed
unable to. solve. Feltz was bleeding from
a deep cash in the cheek in the fourth round
In the fifth Forbes put the Brooklyn lad
down with right swing.
Feltz tried to even matters in the last
round, but Forbes blocked cleverly ant
