of the best woolen houses in
the United States at the lowest liv-
living prices. AS a rule, the most
progressive men in every walk OF
life have their clothing made to
order. All the presidents of our
country, from Washington to
Roosevelt, were men of good taste

made-to-order wearing apparel.
Why3 Because they found such
clothing to be the most satisfactory

Let Us Reason Together.

So long as leading self-termed re-
publican stalwarts of this city keep
avowing publicly that they intend
to vote for Peck and predicting that
he will carry the city, So long will
the political pot of discussion keep
boiling. 1t is generally supposed
they will vote for Peck anyhow, but
this display of open rebellion in face
of the supreme courts decision and
the late action Of the republican ma
tional committee in endorsing La
Toilette, leads to the query: Are
they acting under orders? These
republicans CD who are Babcock
supporters with all seeming sincerity
should heed Speaker Cannon's plead
ings for continuance of republican
power in congress, and Mr.. Babcock
should call them off, which would be
wise political stroke in comparison
with his open bolt at the state con-
vention last May.
These local stalwarts and Mr.. Bah
cock should harken unto Hon. H. A.
Cooper, the ablest member of con-
gress this state has had for years, a
fact that cannot be successfully dis
puted. At a meeting at Burlington,
this state, last Monday evening Con-
gresham Cooper presided and on
introducing Gov. La Toilette said !:
I'VE of Wisconsin are chiefly inter-
ested in the state issues because of
the relation which the distinguished
orator of this evening sustains to
them, and because of the internal
dissensions in the republican party
today in our state. They charge the
governor with causing the trouble.
| DENY IT, and if this is challenged
/ CAN PRODUCE THE PROOF.
There is this to be said: No man in
this country is 50 high that his con-
duet cannot be examined and talked
about. Because man is United
States Senator or Congressman it
does not exempt his acts from crit
icism."
Mr.. Cooper contended that there
was but one republican state conven-
ton held in Madison; that the gath
ering at the Fuller opera house was
only caucus OF anti-thirdtermers,
and so termed by Mr.. Jeffris when
he called for the bolt. And he further
contended that the case of Gov. La
Toilette and the other delegates at
large to the Chicago convention was
pre- Judged by the national commit
tee, that they did not have a fair
hearing in that convention. In cen
clusion Mr.. Cooper proclaimed:
"The time has come for Republicans,
for Democrats, for Populists, for all
men who love their country more
than they worship party name or
man, to obey the mandates which
truth and justice present / conceive
it to be mig duty for more reasons
than one to support the regular NOM
inee Of my party for governor Of the
state Of Wisconsin. / do it because /
believe that in rectitude of purpose,
in integrity, in ability, in love Of the
people, in devotion to the right, as
