to barter my franchise. DR.. Hassell,
Mr.. Webb, and lastly Mr.. Meyer,
succeeded the above members, and
none of them have ever asked me
to sell my franchise or my honor.
This is not the first time the junior
editor has lied about me. I know
that l may occupy a humble posi-
ton, but I believe that I have at
least the respect of hundreds Of
young men and women who have
gone out into the world. I think
that have the respect of my fellow
townsmen, for my aim has always
been to provide for my family and
to bring my children up morally.
| try, at least, to make my home a
home. I will refer to the former
president of the school board, Mr..
David Schreiner, or to any principal
with whom / have worked in regard
to my veracity. In regard to the
last section in the Teller, it is a lie,
for I never had any such converse
ton with him, and have SO stated
to his face in the Teller office, in his
fathers presence.

All Over But the Shouting.

Election day is in sight and the
finale of the strenuous campaign IS
about to be enacted. 1t has been
long battle, extending from early
in the spring, without pause.
1t promises to be hot finish for
long campaign. Reports from
throughout the state show that ev-
cry county is receiving careful at
tention. Various estimates have
been given by political managers
as to the possible outcome. Roose-
welt and Fairbanks election is
taken for granted. The democratic
state central committee claim the
state for Peck. They base these
claims upon the fact that thousands
of democrats who voted the re-
publican ticket two years ago will
this year vote the democratic. They
claim that they will have ali but
two or three per cent Of the former
democrats in line again. The ma
tional republican committee makes
the claim that LaFollette is beaten
but gives no figures. The LaFollette
republicans place the governors
majority at anywhere from twenty
five to seventy thousand. All is
guess work but it is true that the
democrats are being gotten into line
and this may mean victory for
Peck.
Coy. LaFollette is continuing his
fight against Congressman Babcock
to the last ditch and his lieutenants
throughout the district are busy
sending out ballots marked to
mislead voters who are not posted
on the manner of voting.
Do not be hoodwinked by this
preliminary skulduggery. Do not
vote for a trade cong1 essman.
Pres. Roosevelt is in need of Con-
gresham Babcock's services and
you should pass up personal pre-
JUDGE to insure a national Re-
publican administration insuring
continuation of present prosperity.

THE MONEY QUESTION

Of ev cry other measure means trr
representation of this district. he
cannot be criticized. If the prin-
cipal work of securing legislation
against oleomargerine for the pro-
lection of the dairy interests of this
district is true representation of
his constituents, then he has failed
not in that, for the great represen-
tative of the dairy interests of the
state published by Gov. Hoard
grants him that credit. But if this
failure of representation lies not in
national matters, neither is it be-
cause Of failure to care for the i'm
mediate needs of his constituents.
This county, through his rational
influence, has been one of the first
to secure the advantage of general
rural delivery system, change
injurious to few local postmasters
perhaps, but of incalculable benefit
to the farmers. His efforts have
carefully guarded the interests of
his constituents in the change of
the Mississippi channel and through
him, perhaps more than any other
man, the threatening injury has
been averted. His consideration
for the veterans of the civil war and
his active efforts in their behalf
needs no comment.
The true and only ground for this
opposition against him is that he
could not agree with the administra-
ton on the application of the pri-
mary law, an objection which in
the minds of careful men should
have no weight in a determination
of national matters. A vote against
Mr.. Babcock merely means nothing
in state issues, but it may mean
much, very much, in it's effects up
on the nation. His opponent is, a
man whose only influence can be to
oppose republican measures, to as
sist in thrusting upon this nation
unknown and untried policies, or
policies that have filled in trial, at
this time SO important in our his
tory, at this time when continu-
ance of prosperity means SO much
to every citizen. When a change Of
seventeen member means demo-
cratic house, when part of those
districts are already considered LOST
fand many more are claimed by the
democrats upon no mean conjecture
is it not time that the republicans
of this district acted with calmness
and judgment, and stood for repub-
licanism and not craftsmanship?
Will not the Republicans of this
district cast aside petty prejudice
az iinst the candidate and stand for
that large citizenship, that broader
republicanism which has builded SO
we'll for the nation?
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1904-11-05

under the present system. It was
done when Graham Rice was COM
missioner. And yet LaFollette the
reformer, has the brazenness, the
nerve, to go before the voters of this
state and tell them of the robberies
of the. railroads, when he, the man
they have chosen to manage their
affairs, fails to take the necess sry
steps to remove the evil. Incon-
sistent? LaFollettism is made up of
inconsistency. The only consistent
thing about it is the wa, of support
ers of this man have followed him
through his changes of policy.
According to Pollock, every man
who cannot SO bride his conscience,
that he is willing to let LaFollette
do his thinking for him, is a bolter.
''Vote for Grotophorst" so says the
Teller" The associate editor of
the TELLER" democrat, is chosen
secretary of the Republican County
committee. Again, laying aside
prejudice and the respective merits
of the candidate, which has been
his only excuse in the former cases,
the Teller" deliberately supports
the democratic candidate, FL. L.
Moses, in preference to Mr.. Kopp,
the worthy republican nominee.
Pollock, this is too much. Incon-
sistent? No, nothing is i lconsistent
to LaF Gillette and Pollock
Now fellow citizens can you read
this riddle? Can you find the one
thing that makes all this tumble of
inconsistency consistent? Can you
ascertain how these principles,
Numerically opposed to each other,
may be reconciled? Mere personal
allegiance to LaFollette, obedience,
the most servile, is the only thing
that will explain it. Party loyalty
is asked, but is it right to deliberate
ly knife members of your own
party? If Quarles is a ''bolter," if
Babcock is ''bolter," is not LaFol-
lette the prince of boilers? Con
sistency, thou art a jewell aye and
seldom found, but least of all in
the principles of the administration,
or the columns of the TELLER" And
yet there is one thing that explains
all and that is the magical power of
the wizard, who distorts trivial
matters SO greatly that they become
important, who deceives men by
telling but half of the truth. Instead
of allegiance to principle, we find
mere personal allegiance. Intel
ligent men are asked to support La
Toilette regardless of the principles
which he advocates, whether he
favor railroads or oppose them,
whether he supports democratic
congressman or remains true to the
national party.
Here are a few facts not over
drawn. They are worth the care
full consideration of every man who
appreciates the sacredness of the
elective franchise and does not care
to barter away his birthright for a
mess of pottage. To some they will
not appeal, such as may be blinded
by prejudice, or hero worship, or
those who may have more sub
startial things at stake, but such
FACTS must be considered by all who
have the interests of Wisconsin at
heart.

PLAIN FACTS

Election day approaches. Within
week the people of Wisconsin will
have gwen their final verdict at the
polls. That verdict will show
whether the people can be deceived
by so called reform, by campaign
of personal abuse or whether the
Wisconsin voter is able to make his
decision from the plain, unvarnish-
ed, facts. This is what every man
must decide for himself, before he
performs his duty as citizen.
First of all let him ask himself,
just what LaFollette stands for.
What does he advocate? He claims
the distinction of being a reformer.
But what are the great evils that he
has set himself to reform? Surely
not politics. Were the politics of
Wisconsin ever more questionable
than today? Gov. LaFollette cannot
boast of cleaner administration
than those Of his predecessors. There
have been too many SHADY spots
in his public career, of which the
affair with the Independent book
Co. is an example, or the the pres
emit condition of the state finances,
notoriously the $40, 900 belonging
to the trust fund for schools, which
has been deliberately used for other
purposes than the benefit of Wis
consin education. No, surely the
reform is not here.
The railroads? All, yes, they are
the especial object Of the governors
venom. They should pay more
taxes" Yet in his first message to
the legislature, our worthy chief
executive said that these very self
same railroads paid more taxes in
proportion, than the average
citizen. Perhaps the governor did
not known the wickedness of these
railroads then. In the past three
years, he has discovered his mistake.
Instead of conducting his present
campaign in special car furnished
by the railroads he is using more
sensational means of travel, the
automobile. But is not this change
inconsistent? No, not for LaFollette.
For two years he has told of the
hardship that the Wisconsin shipper
must endure because of tyranny OF
the railroads. He has taken the
trouble to find particular cases OF
injustice done to the shippers. But
have these shippers taken advantage
of any of this information that was
SO valuable to them? No, but is
there no redress? Is it necessary to
pass this new law to equalize mat
tiers? Under our present law, shippers
may have rates adjusted. LaFol-
lette has not seen fit to take adj
vantage of this. He has not done
what the present law permits. He
has not used it because he would
not then have an issue. He prefers
to be the man who is to be response
BILE for every reform. Now, under
the present system the people have
railroad commissioner for just
this purpose. II rates are unjust
it is his duty to investigate and
equalize them, otherwise he is not
performing his duty. Moreover it
was the duty of Gov. LaFollette as
the executive to see that he did his
duty, to inform him of these viola
lions of the law, which he advertised
SO widely. Rates have been lowered
