the common masses in their support
Of La Toilette? To this query we
would say that there are but very
few citizens Of Wisconsin, including
men, women and children, who have
not met the governor personally, or
heard him in public speech, or read
from. his own forcible pen the princi-
pies which he advocates, and they
have thereby been thoroughly i'm
pressed with the belief that he is a
man Of truth, honor and fortitude in
his contention for equal rights and
justice among men. Thus they have
been brought to comprehend to their
satisfaction the truth of his asser-
tions, the honesty Of his purpose, and
fortitude in his courageous patience
and endurance and his resolute hrm-
ness, in advocating what he believes
to be right and for the common good.
The following quotation from the st.
Paul Dispatch is well worth careful
perusal and analysis at this particu-
lar time by all, and especially by
such as are in quandary like our In
quiring friend:
"As we have watched the struggle
from this disinterested viewpoint for
the last six years, we are willing to
admit the persistence, the strenuous
ness, and the forcibleness with which
Gov. LaFollette has forced the fight.
Inevitably, individual and cause be-
come identified ia the minds of par
ty adherents and opponents. To his
opponents he becomes the crank, the
radical, and to his adherents the
hero. When he insists upon forcing
he becomes the tyrant to

other. The Dispatch, however, feels
no reluctance to give him what sup
port it can, because it has very much
Mt heart the reforms in government
which he advocates.
1--WE say very frankly to our stall
wart brethren that we cannot accept
their opinions OF the governor or his
If he be forceful, persistent,
answering, uncompromising it is
we prefer to think, because he is
very much in earnest; because he
believes thoroughly in the necessity
of establishing law in his reforms,
and because he brooks no opposition
which is aimed either to emusculate
or defeat them. He shows the quail
tiles all earnest, sincere men show in
battling for what they think is right;
qualities, we may add, that have Sc
cured for humanity whatever of bet
ter and progressive government it
now enjoys"

party defeated in the court get on
the state ballot? That point is not
yet settled. If the court refuses to
hear the case, as some predict, the
LaFollette ticket will go as regular
and the Stalwarts will be entitled to
go as faction. This will not SIM
plify matters, unless they refuse to
enter the contest.
These are some of the poiuts in
this great ENHANCEMENT which the
Republicans and the courts have to
solve in Wisconsin.
