! milwaukee,, Wis, Aug. 1.-Two things OF:
interest have come to pass in Wisconsins nolr-,

judge from these, that Senator La Toilette
remains as much Of a hero as ever in The ayas
Of his faithful, but that they win not stand

Another interesting thing is that judge Emil
Baensch OF Manitowoc is Introducing Governor
Davidson in the eastern part of the state where
the governor is campaigning. Baensch is, one
of the irmest stnlwarts In the state and the
Lenroot people are making a big cry over tbe
latest development. They have all along as
serted that Davidson was in collision with the
stalwarts or antt,lta, Toilette crowd. and have
been making votes for Lenroot as a result.
At Lancaster yesterday Senator La Toilette.
after his usual talk! on state and national is
sues, was loudly cheered when his own record
came to be discussed. Then lie said that Len.
root is the only man In the state who can
carry out the La, Toilette principles success
fully and aggressiye1y. He waited for an.
plause, but not a sound came forth. So it has
been in several Wisconsin cities where the
! senator has recently been campaigning for Len
too that the senator has a perfect right to
come out anda talk for whomever he wants to:
nevertheless this does not seem to- help Len
| root much. '-~. - >
The fact that Davidson is openly COMMUNICATING
with a stalwart leader is making sensation.
! It began when Judge Baensch appeared to in
troduce Davidson at Two Rivers Political
observers Of one tybe say this is only a natural
consequence, and that the old fight between the
stalwarts and La Fo1lette is on again for keeps,
with Davidson as the dummy Of the stalwarts.
| 1t is asserted by ha1fbreeds that the spectacle
Of stalwarts, newspapers and individuals boom

forces in Wisconsin Just as before, and that the
halfbreed split. as between Lenroot and David
son. who was elected with La Toilette in sew
eral state campaigns to minor places on the
ticket, is all thing Of the past It is Len
root, halfbreed, against Davidson, stalwart, now
in the eyes of, many, especially the country
