"a TOILETTE ron SENATOR.
The Governor 10 Be Nominated Tonight
-Going to Help Out Roosevelt.

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 22,-Gov. La Toilette
will be dominated for United States Senator
at the joint Republican legislative caucus
tomorrow night The bottom has fallen
out OF the campaign OF all four OF the
administration candidates and Senator
Quarles has not nearly enough votes either
for his own reelection or to he factor in
the election by throwing his strength to
another,
The administration people say this situa-
ton hag been brought about by the gem
eral and insistent demand Of the people
of the State that Gov. La Toilette, the first
successful fighter for control of railroads,
be sent 10 the Senate TO become leader in
the legislative programme Of President
Roosevelt.
The Stalwarts say the situation has been
developed by La Toilette playing the clever
est political game they have ever seen.
He distributed his followers among the
camps of Webb, Cooper Esch and stephen
son, and at the given signal on Thursday
night there was what was announced as a
spontaneous hocking to the La Toilette
standard
1t seems to have worked to perfection,
although no formal surrender has been
made by Senator Quarles

An Albany Investigation OF City Lighting
Pass Our BIZ. Guy WIN say.

has been revived by the letter sent to Mayor
Mcclellan by Chairman Malby of the Senate
Finance Committee and Chairman Rogers

shown In the replies which these two oifi-
Gals will make Mayor Mcclellan refused
Yesterday to talk Of the letter before he
had received 1t, but II was learned that he
has already made up his mind what reply

Legislature sill pass the bill drawn up by
the oity authorities providing for a munich
pal lighting plant that that will settle the
whole question Assistant Corporation
Counsel Charles l.. Guy will appear for the
Mayor on Wednesday and depecate any
other action than this.
Comptroller Grout wants the Legislature
70 step in Mr.. Grout would not talk for

reply he would make to the letter. He
did say, however that he intended TO make
a reply and that he would certainly lie
represented at the hearing at Albany on
Wednesday, should he not be there in
person. Those in touch with the situation
expect that this week will be a very inter
esting one in view of the difference in the
attitude OF the Mayor and the Comptroller,
and the hearing up at Albany.

I'll continue to be satisfied. There may
be some folks who think that the gamblers
are getting off easy and that they ought
to be prosecuted for their crimes. I'd
like to remind them that getting evidence
Ia very costly. especially when you're
up against those gentlemen. II might be
a different thing II the police had shown
any desire to cooperate with me. Ihey
haven't, from one end Of the force TO the

enough sense to be OF any use.
1T Is all rot this talk OF legislation being
necessary to secure reform OF the Pohce
Department The right man can do 1t
without any legislation The right man
can make those fellows sit up straight and
do their duty. There Ia just one power
which the head OF the department should
have, which he hasn't got. That is the
power 20 clean out the Detective Bureau

that was done he could look around and
pick out bright men for real detective

While Stark county has been going
Republican ever since 1893, the Dem.
ocrats have been able from year to
year TO secure about half of the JUS
tices of the peace, electing them in
Canton and other Democratic strong
holds. They have been able also in
Canton and Massillon to secure
fair share of the city offices. This
condition existed practically all over
the state, and that was why the Re-
publican legislature amended the cleo
tion laws so that all elections are to
be held in the fall when state and
national issues will hold the voters
in line and local issues will be over
looked On strict party lines the
Democrats will secure not more than
six of the 45 or more justices of the
peace. This will bring joy to the
Republican machine that is planning
to eliminate everything Democratic
from Ohio.
