LAFOLLETTE NOW
THE LOGICAL MAN
The Elimination Of Roosevelt is
Said to Strengthen the Badger
Senator For The Republican
Nomination For President.

Within twenty-four hours after the
announcement of President RooSe.
velt, that he would not stand for a
reelection for the presidency, the
wise ones and the politicians of the
old school, were getting busy in their
effort to arrive at some logical solu-
tion of the problem. The followers
of Taft practically admit that their
candidate is not helped any by the an
nouncement and many agree that it
is more than likely that the president
will throw his strength to some man,
around whom the progressive element
in the party can rally, when the time
comes to act. OF course this action
would eliminate Fairbanks, Foraker,
Cannon and Knox and would open a
fair field for LaFolIette and Hughes.
1t is at this point in the reasoning
that the railroad interests and the
frenzied tinanciers take up the cudgel
and begin their knocking, for they
hate the little senator from WiScon-
sin as cheerfully as they do the presi.
dent. All are free to admit however,
that the combination of these two
men would be strong one, and the
only play that can be made to beat it,
would be successful bluffing. 1t is
noticeable that the talk of LaFollette
for president with Hughes as a run
ming mate, is the first serious intima
| tion of vice presidential candidate
In the same connection the Wash
ington Times Thursday night, in its
news discussion of the presidents an
nouncement, after pointing out that
Taft will finally lose ground when he
is forced to stand alone, and that
Hughes is Likely to enjoy decided
access of strength for the time beins
at least, says:
"There is one possibility which
keeps a place in the minds of all clost
students of the situation.
'"rhat is that the president might
give up the effort to nominate Mr.
Taft, and, seeking for a man who
would make stronger appeal to the
Roosevelt following among tht
radicals, turn to LaFollette.
| "The Wisconsin man has a gooC
] deal of latent and unorganizeC
| strength in many parts of the coun
try, especially the west. How much
could be made of it is uncertain, but
there is intimation that vigorous
effort will soon be made by his backer:
in Wisconsin to develop all the posi-
bilities of the new situation"

meats. This cooling system is said
to be one of the very latest and best in
use.
Besides the ice, or cooling machines,
what is known as the curing cellar will
be located in the basement in room
Ga feet long and 80 feet wide.
The second story of the building
will probably not be used to any great
extent at first, but when business re-
quireS this available space, the fit
tingS will be good deal of duplicate
of the sausage rooms below.
One thing particularly is noticed by
the observer who makes a tour OF
inspection of this plant, and that is
the very minute precautions for the
sanitary condition of the building.
Little groves, or cutters, are every
where met with in the floor. and when
inquiry was made as to their particu-
lar use, the writer was informed that
wherever table was to be used for
cutting purposes. these were designed
to carry away all refuse or blood The
floors will be flooded with water and
completely washed of all refuse. All
of these interior cutters lead to the
large sewer just completed by the city
from the plant to the river.
The work of connecting and fitting
up the machinery is now in progress at
the plant. and it is expected that in
another ten days or two weeks,
the whistle will sound at the noon
hour, in the morning, or at night time
in unison with the many other manu-
featuring plants which are adding
daily to the wealth of Grand Rapids.
About the first of January it is ex-
pected that this plant will take its
place among the regular producers in
this city.

ASK JUDGE WEBB TO STAND
Atty. Geo. Williams, on Behalf of
Wood County Bar Extends Peti.
tions To The Circuit Judge.

At the converting of the Wood
County Bar in the circuit court room
Monday, Atty. Geo. L. Williams,
on behalf of the lawyers extended to
Judge Webb the petition signed by all
the attorneys in the county, as well
as one signed by a large number of
prominent people, requesting the
judge to become candidate to sue
ceed himself as judge of the Seventh
Wisconsin Circuit.
Mr.. Williams in few we'll chosen
words told the purport of the docI-
ments which he desires to place on
file, and informed the judge that
there was absolutely no appeal from
the wishes of the people in this mat
ter.
Judge Webb accepted the papers
and thanked the Bar of Wood County
in feryent manner. He stated while
this method was not required at the
present time as he understood it, yet
he could not feel other than grateful
to those who expressed their conf
dence in this manner. He stated that
he had endeavored to fulfill the
duties imposed upon him as faith.
fully and as justly as it was possible
for him to do so, and the expressions
which came to him from all over the
circuit were indeed gratifying.
The action of the Wood County Bar
is similar to the action being taken
in all the counties in the seventh
circuit, in everyone of which the at
torneys have united in asking the
judge to become candidate to sue
ceed himself.

FREIGHTS DISCONTINUED

The two time freights on the c. &

Fond du Lac and Marshtield. known
as trains No. 437 and 43S, were ordered
discontinued Friday on account of

The regular way freight will endea-

will be the order of the day, no doubt,
but the management of the road sees
no other alternative at present.

Baggagemen on Panhandle
DispIeased Over Treat
ment by Adams Express
OLD CUSTOM BROKEN.
THIS YEAR THE COMPANY CUT
OFF THE TURKEYS HERETO
FORE GIVEN BAGGAGEMEN
AND SUBSTITUTED OYSTERS.

AS has been the custom for num-
Der of years, the Adams Express COM
pany remembered Panhandle conduc-
tors and baggagemen again this year,
and as a result it is stated upon reli.
able authority, the baggagemen are
dead sore" Until year ago both
conductors and baggagemen were pre-
scented with orders, calling for the de-
livery of turkey to the holder OF the
order A year ago there was a change
and now only the conductors get a
turkey. while the baggagemen receive
two cans of oysters.
The baggagemen assert that during
the annual Christmas rush they as
sist the express messengers in check
ing. classifying, receiving and deliver
ing freight matter at all stations,
while all the conductors do is merely
to run the train. Because of the Ia
vors shown the express company by
the baggagemen, the latter feel they
should be entitled to the turkey III
stead of oysters.
1t is understood that some of the
baggagemen are swearing by all that
is good, bad and Indifferent, that they
will not assist the express messen'
gers next year, as the service is mere
" optional with them. There are no
rules making it necessary, neither are
there any orders prohibiting the
practice.
Division superintendent Curtis, OF
the express company, issues the or
ders for turkeys and oysters from his
headquarters in Columbus. A year
ago he decided to present only the
conductors with turkey. At that time
no attention was paid to the matter
| the baggagemen thinking that they
would get turkeys this year, but tur
KEYS came not, consequently there
| are some "sore spots" No more oys
