Former Governor of Wisconsin
Says He Is Out Of Politics

Special to The Journal.

Milwaukee, Wis, July 2O.-Former
Governor W. D. Hoard Of Fort Atkin-

But he says he is out Of politics now
and for all time.
It has been stated that Governor Da-

Spooner, in retnurn for support against
Speaker Lenroot, who is also candi-
date for the governorship, and is sup
posed to have Senator La Toilette Is

Senator La Toilette, says Mr.. Hoard,

our principles and will never consent
to their abandonment, no more than
will La Toilette.

not support him for the nomination fol
