THE FIGHTS ON.

The fight against Doodle aud
against graft is on in Wisconsin
as we'll as 10 Missouri. Gov. La
Toilette is leading the fight in
WISCONSIN in the Republican party.
He made speech the other day,
sensational it was in the attack he
made upon his opponents and the
corporations. tits interesting to
follow how nearly parallel is his
fight with the one that has been
waged in Missouri. In his speech
Gov. LaFoIlette declared that this
was a campaign of principles, and
not men, one of the principles of
which was the primary election.
The Governor illustrated the ne
cessity for such a law in the event
of his own candidacy. He said:
Il know in 1896 that / had
votes enough among the delegates
elected to the State Convention to
nOminote me. These votes were
pledged TO me. saw them taken
away from me by unlawful means
that should have sent some men to
the penitentiary. Delegates were
taken TO room in a hotel and there
offered money to change their
votes. None of the men took the
money, but afterwards came to me
and told me about. They said
that in the room in question money
in large bills was stacked up on a
table and held down by paper
weights.
Zone of the bosses at that time
came TO me and said:
Now, LaFollette, we've got
you beat, but if you will keep
still and won't squeal we'll take
care Of you when the time comes
"I refused, but events took place
just as he predicted. l then de-
termined to begin an investigation
and direct my efforts TO correct the
evils which confronted the people. F"
The Governor said that his in
vestigations showed the close rela-
tionship of the bosses to corpora
tions. The corporations had been
cheating the people for years, lie
said, and if the people of the state
had as much spirit as spaniel
dog they would rise and overthrow
this control" The Governor init
mated that he would not stop his
work until his sffOrts for a repre-
sentative form of government were
successful.
My answer to these attacks
from the corporations and their
allies" he continued, is that the
railroad companies must pay their
share of the taxes and must carry
goods and people just as cheaply
in this State as elsewhere. You
will have no peace or harmony till
these questions are settled right"
