JEFFRIS SEES

STALWART LEADER ANTICIPATES

Special to The journal. --e
GAINESVILLE, Wis, Sept. 23.-M. G.. Jeffris, the
stalwart leader, said today: u. :. ..
II believe that under the law the supreme
court is bound to find in our favor. There is
not the slightest danger of their declaring the
La Toilette ticket regular. l satisfied that
the decision will be in favor or else the
court will decline to decide the matter on the
ground that it has jurisdiction.
I'm that will be in the position of
having the Endorsement of the highest tribunal,
the national convention of the republican party.
The La Toilette men repudiate that decision,
and their campaign and their pleadings in court
have been attacks upon the national committee
and the convention.
They pretend to support Roosevelt, but every
proceeding is against the national ticket. They
not republicans. Their doctrine is mixture
Of socialism, Organism and populism, making a
compound named La Foletteism.'"
LA CROSSE, WIS.-Governor La Toilette, who
in this city on his way from Maiden Rock
to Madison, said the bitter speeches Mr. Jeffris
is making against him and the principles for
which he stands doing the stalwarts more
harm than good.
While here yesterday, arrangements were def
nitely made for two or tire days tour of La
Crosse county next week by the governor. He
will travel in his automobile, making speeches
of about an hours length in the day. In the
evening he will talk at central locations for
about two hours.

WITHOUT A SHERIFF
Peterson, Who Gould Not Arrest Dietz,
Resigns His Office.

HAYWARD, WIS.-Sherif Charles Peterson
has resigned his office partly as result of his
failure to arrest John Il. Dietz, who is holding
q dam on Thornapole river from the possession
Of its alleged owners, the Chippewa Lumber and
Boom company.
Contempt proceedings were instituted against
Peterson for failing to serve the process and
the case was adjourned last Monday for two
weeks
AS yet there are no applicants for the sheriff s
berth, as the duty will devolve upon the APP
pointee to secure Dietz. The chances are that
Sawyer county will be without a sheriff unless
the governor sends some one here to fill the
office. There several candidates for the
office at the coming election but the accept
of the appointment to fill the unexpired
term would make then ineligible for election,
