TO DAVIDSON

| There has been a great deal of dis
cussion as to the contents of the
letter of Senator LaFOllette to Gov.
Davidson, regarding the part the
Senator would take in this campaign.
The best means of knowing the true
heartiness of the Senator's support is
to read the letter which is now made
public.
The letter reads as follows:
kingman, Kan, Oct. s. 1906.
Dear Gov. Davidson: When | left
home on the evening of the Both of
September | expected to be absent
from the state only for the first week
OF October. | yielded to the earnest
solicitation of friends in Kansas to
come on here, because there is a pos
sibllity of securing the election of Mr..
Bristow to the United States senate.
BristOw is the man who dug up the
fraud in the pOStOffice department at
Washington. His election to the senate
would be great gain to the country.
He may not win out, but his friends
thought l might help some and so l
consented to come. ! write this, be-
cause [ want you to know that / am

only. | shall return at the end of
this week and expect to 60 into the
campaign in Wisconsin and give you
such help as is in my power / op-
posed your nomination, as you know,
because / believe Lenroot the stronger
man to carry forward the reat work
In our state. You are nominated,
and | shall put all the strength there
is in me into the campaign for your
election and the enactment of needed
legislation.
Il know from personal experience
that you have a heavy burden of per-
sonal expense to bear in going through
this campaign. l enclose a small coll
tribution toward your personal ex-
penses. | shall aid in other directions
as well.
you will be elected, / have no
doubt, by large majority, and /
hope that your administration may
be successful. Anything 1 can do to |
make it so will be gladly done Sim
cerely yours,

Atty, Theo. w. Brazeau, in his adj
dress at Marshtield a few days ago,
said that every Republican in the
county should support the county tick
ct entire, if for no other reason than
that every member of that ticket was
supporting and working for the sue
cess of the state ticket and republican
principles; and that the success of the
whole county ticket, ment the success
OF the whole state ticket, in SO far as
Wood county was concerned.
The advice was good and is being
followed by every republican in the
county; but there is one danger that
can only be avoided by every voter 60
ing to the polls on Nov. 6. and casting
his vote. When things look bright
there is tendency on the part of many
to join the Stay-at~ Herein lies
the danger TO the republican ticket
this fall, and all loyal member Of the
party must see to it that he is not one
of the number.
Rain or shine, you must see to it Mr.
Republican that you cast your vote
next Tuesday. IfyOu neglect TO do so,
you lessen your parties chance for sue,
cess just ONE VOTE That don't seem
much to you, but remember that JUST
ONE VOTE HAS WON, AND SOME TIMES
LOST AN ELECTION, so take no chance
but attend to this duty of American
citizenship next Tuesday.

After the interview with the presi-
dent Mr. Zoffen explained that the
meeting was one of vital importance
to German manufacturers. Last July,
he said. a tariff war by Germany
against the United States was avoided
and an agreement made by which no
such action would be taken for one
year because 1t had been represented
that American customs regulations
would be SO amended In favor OF Ger

this time, he said. no step had seem
ingly been taken by the American ad
ministration to carry out its part OF
the agreement He said that the
agrarian members in the German
reichstag We're decidedly in favor of a
tariff war against America and that
the failure on our part to amend the
obnoxious custom regulation would
serve as an excellent excuse for the
beginning of this war next July.

SUSPENSION OF HoSTIlITIES
ONE RESULT OF DEPARTURE OF
AMERICAN OFFICIALS FOR
CUBAN CAPITAL.

Washington, Sept. 1s.-Secretary
Taft's departure for Cuba has had the
beneficient effect Of suspending hos
tilities In Cuba. BY the time the sec
retary and Assistant Secretary Of
State Bacon arrive at Havana both
parties to the insurrectionary trouble
will be prepared to confer with them
as to the restoration Of peace and the
permanent suspension Of hostilities.
Advices received over night at the
state department simply tended to con-
Arm the press dispatches from Havana
that arrangements were making for a
suspension of hostilities until the sub
jects OF difference could be considered
with Secretary Taft and Assistant
Secretary Bacon.
A cablegram received from Mr.
Sleeper. the American charge at Ha-
vana, confirmed the statement that
President Palma had issued a procla-
nation directing that active opera
tions against the insurgents be sus-
pended for the time, except In In
stances where self-defense was neces-
sary. Mr.. Sleeper also indicates that
the insurgents, too. have indicated an
intention of suspending military op-
erations until they had opportunity to
consider the situation with Secretary
Taft and Assistant Secretary Bacon.
Mr.. Sleeper suggests that confer
ences of some import may be held be-
tween representatives OF the Palma
government and the insurgents pend
ing the arrival In Havana of Secretary
Taft and party, so that something in
the nature of definite programme
may be presented to them for consid
