Who to Oppose LaFol1ette?

The opposition to LaFollette real
\ iZe the Importance of putting up a
good man to dispute the governorship
with him. The Indian commissioner,
w. A. Jones of Mineral Point, would
make a worry strong nomination. He
served in the assembly. He is a
Welchman, a Presbyterian, one of the
Iowa county Jones family. He has
made a good deal of a success of his
federal position. He is a man of some
property. Il good fellow" a man of
the highest charac ter; and he would
make an admirable executive. His
absence from the state has freed him
from fractional embarrassments
though like most Of the federal ap-
pointees. he probably does not relish
the governors iron heel government.
Strength of Whitehead.
1t is not unlikely, however, that it
will be LaFollette versus Whitehead
over again. 4 friend of the latter puts
it this way:
John Whitehead Of GAINESVILLE re-
AuIl % ltO NNIIAtNlIdllOI' L tAIC NlllLCAl
he embodies all that is anti-L2 Toilette
Whitehead has made the run once and
everybody knows him. Jones, the In
dian commissioner, is all right, but he
has been out of the state for five
years. 1t will take long time to eX-
plain to the people who Jones is.
Whitehead stands for everything and
everybody that is anti-La Toilette. He
would make an ideal governor if elect
ed. He has acquired confidence in
manner and public speech SO that on
the stump he will make friends where
the nervous agitation of the governor
has ceased to charm. Whitehead was
! not only the ablest man in the senate,
but the leader of that body, the ma
| jority following his tactics as we'll as
| his measures. The ad valOrem tax
| law is Whitehead'S as much as any
one mans. He is the father of the tax
commission. He enjoys the confidence
| of business interests; the railways
! know he will do them justice; the big
! men of the county seat towns and 9th
! ers who distrust the governor, will
| support Whitehead; and while he is
! too formal and cold to arouse the
! groundlings who want their wealthy
neighbors abused and who long to
have a cold chill of oratory run down
their backs, yet that delirium has
about run it's fever, and Wisconsin
will soon be ready again to consider
