ELEMENTS THAT WON'T MIX.

| could not be expected to understand
the deep laid plans of wiley politicians
but can see the funny side to some of
the things they are attempting to do.
Fo instance, the effort to secure trans
por alton for Babcock on the coat tail
of Gov. Davidson, is one of the most
ridiculously funny things that has ever
happened in these diggings. Jim and
Babl Ye Godsl Think of i'll Jim David
son, clean of record, for ten years stand
ing and fighting for the reforms the
people were demanding, taking under
his wing that prince of corporationists,
Joseph Weeks Babcock. The man who
opened head quarters in Madison for
the gum shoe, state wide fight to
defeat Lit Gov. Davidson and the prin-
ciples he was fighting for You remem.
ber again in 1904, at the bolters conven-
tion in Madison, there were calls for
Babcock. The great states man came
forward and said, Gentlemen | feel
honored to address this convention
This is memorable convention and
sincerely hope and believe that grest
good will come IF it l want 70 say
here that my best efforts and every mo-
ment of time that is possible for me To
devote to the state of Wisconsin, will
be given that the ticket that you rep
resent will be successful and that your
eff )rts may be crowned with glory P"
What has caused this change of heart
Listen aud I'll tell you. Babcock was
repudiated by the republicans Of Yer
non county two years ago and almost
beaten by democrat IN the district
that was more than ten Thousand repub.
lican Under these circumstances he
could hardly hope to win against re-
publican like Judge MahoneY. So he
sent transportation 20 his postmasters,
managers of his newspapers, and hired
men, registered them at the Phster at
his expense, and they conferred All
reports showed that the Third district
was for Davidson, SO it was agreed that
every one was TO go back home and
whoop it up for Davidson and tell them
all that Mahoney was for Lenoot. Bah
and Jim" was to be the war cry. This
would catch the Davidson men and they
would climb right into the Babcock
wagon. Well, we are easy but not so
easy as that. Jim Davidson could not
be for Babcock He is not built that
way and all his training is against it.
Every act of his life proves him an
enemy of what Babcock stands for.
Yea sre foxy, Bah, but we are onto
you. The wind is out of your sails and
you can't climb into our boat now.
This is not your crowd and we'd feel
uncomfortable TO have you in We

NOT GUILTY OF BEING IN POLITICS

Ia the last issue of the Dahl-Leproot
organ published by F. G Bum at West
by, was pictured rs being fool in
politics. Now | have no objection to
this lllustrious and brainy editor call
ing me fool, but do object to b ing
accused of being in politics Two years
ago this fall was in politics to the ex-
tent of being candidate for sheriff At
that time this same brainY editor saw
MT to print an editorial in his pretended
republican paper, commenting the dem
ocratic candidate for sheriff as against
me, using these words at the close of
his article; THE time is coming when
political lines will not be - closely
drawn-wben candidates for Office must
hsve u certain standard of character
and intelligence rs we'll rs political
pull"
At that time | ignored the dirty little
mugwump sheet and its editor, and il
apv one wants TO see about how much
Influence the sheet has, compare the
figures in the last blue book. II seems
TO give the brainy editor pain in the
region of his belt, when any one dares
to object TO the Dahl-Lenroot combina-
tion. But the wiley politician from
WestbY will not have q convention to
manipulate this time. The people will
have something to say and their vote
will be supreme As TO fools in politics,
the worst fool is the fool editor that
copies the editorials printed by a rank
democratic paper that is boosting Len
root for governor for the purpose, l be-
lev, to have him beaten at the NoveIn-
Der election by democrat. After Sep
tember 4. we can tell who the fools in
politics are And again l want TO say
that am not in politics, but am just
one of the fool people whom you can
not fool all the time. And will vote
for James o. Davidson for governor.

believed that Governor Davidson was
safe and honest and that he would make
the better governor. This was the sen
sation of the meeting. As the man on
whom the great burden of our railroad
tax litigation has rested, the man with
whom La Toilette has counseled and
consulted at every step as to the legal
ity of proposed measures the opinion
of Mr.. Sturdevant, the law officer of our
state, should have great weight. When
Sturdevant, knowing both men. advises
us to vote for Davidson and asserts that
Davidson will make the better governor,
who is there TO gainsay that opinion2
Governor Davidson though tired and
hungry, spoke about an hour-making q
wonderfully effective address. He re-
viewed at length the reform movement
in Wisconsin and his record and con.
nection with 1t in one public capacity
and another for the past fourteen years.
None heard him who we're not impress
ed with his honesty of purpose and the
righteousness of his cause He regretted
that Senator La Toilette had taken a
stand against him--though they have
long been intimate friends-and said
whatever the outcome he would give
the nominee his loyal support He said
If he was good enough for lieutenant
governor when La Toilette told him he
must run in 1902 and 1904 and su idenly
became incompetent in 1906, then La
Toilette ought not 10 have resigned and
left the goyernoTship in incompstent
hands la 1902 La Toilette told David
son thas he wanted him for lieutenant
governor so that if be LA Follettel
should be removed, the work wouid go
on and that Davidson as governor would
not be bluffed or build 1t ne was
good man then, what is wrong now2
Such in substance was a part of his
speech He was pleased 10 meet his
many old friends and neighbogs
The Governor referred several times
to the stand of Judge Mahoney and him
self on these reform measures when
they were pending in the Legislature
twelve or fourteen years az and be
fore they became go popular a. they are
today. He said it required very great
courage to take such an advanced po-
sition for reform measures in those days
and that he was pleased to say that he
and Judge Mahoney who sat on the
PLATFORM stood together and always
voted right. That at th}t time there
were only about half dozen that stood
vi. \ the late lamentad A. r. Hall. He
further said that these pioneer reform.
| ers got very little credit for THAR cham
pioning the cause of the people.
Mr. Sturdevsnt and Mr. Hall were
introduced aud made splendid addresses
but space prevents detailed account Of
their remarks.
Gov Davidson and party went to
Coon Valley, this morning over the
