Lenroot Speaks.

The Hon. l. L. Lenr0Ot Of Superior,
spoke at the A. 0. U. w. hall, last
evening, a big crowd that filed all the
chairs and some standing room, greet
ing him. Attorney e. F. Dithmar7in in
troduced him with remarks appropriate
to the occasion. In opening his speech
Mr.. Lenroot made it plain by reading
correspondence that passed between
himself and Chairman Connor, that he
was not speaking under the direction
OF the Republican State Central ccm-
mittee, that he had reserved to himself
the right to oppose the election of
Congressman Babcock and Mr.. Boden
the nominee for district attorney in
Milwaukee. He gave those gentle
men number of doubtful compli-
ments. He scored the Democrats for
their political somersaults and lack
of sincerity, and Mr.. Aylward in par
ticular for his opposition to the pri-
mary law two years ago. Hesaid that
Wisconsin's finances are in excellent
shape and the revenues are and will
continue to be 50 great under Republi-
can rule that a portion Of them ought
to be diverted to the betterment Of the
public roads. He said further that
there will be no state tax so long as the
present administration is continued in
power. The railroads now pay 5000, 600
more in taxes annually than formerly.
He favored a graduated income tax
and a revision of the tariff.
