TO FIGHT IN PERSON
Gov. La Toilette to Make q Per-
sonaI Canvass of Keno
sha County.
COMES NEXT MONDAY NIGHT
Agents of the Governor Secure the Use
of the Rhode Opera House for
Meeting.

Governor La Toilette will not leave
his campaign in Kenosha county to
any of his half-hearted supporters,
but he will take personal control of
it and he is going to make the fight Of
his life to secure control of the Assem-
bly, IMAM in the county. To this end he
is prepared to invade Kenosha county
and his agents in Madison have quiz
city secured the lease of the Rhode
opera house for the evening of Sep
tember 20. The visit to Kenosha has
been perfectly timed by the governor
as it is planned to drop inGo the county
just a few days before the caucuses
and take it by storm. Just who is be-
hind this visit of the governor is very
hard to ascertain. The last time the
governor visited the county it was at
the invitation of the Cid Settlers
Club, but there is an air of secrecy
about his coming visit which seems
to indicate that he is coming unin-
vited with blood in his eye to take a
final fall out of the men of the county
who have opposed his presumption in
seeking to foist himself upon the peo-
pie of the state for third term. This
barn storrning trip of the governor to
the county Will last for a whole day,
and during that day he expects to
make whir1wind fight of it. He is
being booked to make a number Of
speeches in the county, and will wind
up with final TRADE at the opera
house in the city in the evening.
Since the opening of the present cam
paign the governor has been practi-
ca1ly without workers in this county,
and the men who have been carrying
on his campaign have been hiding
their lights under bushels, and SO hid
den have the lights been that they
have carried no warning signal to the
other side of the great Republican
house. The governor has adopted
the same tactics in this county that
he has used in other counties and it is
his plan to stampede the voters with
his e1oquence. His visit to Kenosha
county will come on the day before
q
decision in the famous fight between
the Republicans of the state, and this
fact seems to indicate that the gov
ernor has no idea of giving up the
fight, regardless of the decision of
the court.
No arrangements have been an
nounced for the visit Of the governor
to Kenosha and the meeting will prob
ably be one of the most unusual po-
litical meetings ever held in the city.
With the governor will come a lot of
his henchmen and game wardens and
an effort will be made to force the
people to swallow the false doctrines
which the governor has been promu1-
eating for the past five years. There
is no doubt but that the people of the
city will extend to the governor every
courtesy that is due the chief execu-
tive Of the state, but if he attempts
the petty political moves tried in other
counties and attempts to tna1ign the
leaders of the Republican cause in
the county he should be treated with
silent contempt such as is awarded to
any other demagogue. 1t is probable
that the henchmen of the governor
will make strong effort to pack the
opera house for his one political visit
to the city during the present cam
paign.
