LA TOILETTE WILL
Be SPECIAL GUEST
Former Residents OF Wisconsin Will
Have Big Picnic and Reunion
at EastIake Park
Today

Today is to be gala day for the
Wisconsin boys and girls. Their own
political idol, Senator La Toilette is
to be with them and tell them all about
the political situation as he sees it and
as he would have them see it. The
Badger club and the Wisconsin society
are both to unite in a monster picnic
at Eastlake park, beginning at 10
O'Clock, with grand reunion and CAB
fest in the forenoon, then dinner on
the green and a reception to their hon
ored guest in the afternoon, a few
words from Senator La Toilette on the
subject of Wisconsin, it's people, its
politics and their position in ma
tional affairs.
Tonight Senator La Toilette speaks
upon the subject of Representative
Government at Simpson auditorium,
and the entire Wisconsin delegation
will be there. No public speaker has
ever visited Los Angeles in the past
who has such a call on the public as
Senator "a Toilette, and all classes Of
people have taken seats for tonight.
The honors today are to be divided
between the members of the Badger
club and the Wisconsin society, with
the Long >each society coming In full
force to assist. Plenty OF good seats
may be secured az all prices at Bir-
kel's music house by calling early In
the day. Tonight this seasons series

parade pass in review.
''Following that we will go to Fiesta
park, where there will be a big bar
becue, a wild west performance, riding
bad horses and going through feats of
horsemanship, and then there will be
another big feast for the club men,
bers and their friends. We believe we
are acting right in this affair, that 1t
Is for the best of all concerned, and we
are going ahead with our plans"
To see the men standing around in
the breezy costumes of desert and
plains, to see the dark-eyed women
and the pretty girls debonair in khaki
and the dainty Spanish frocks, and to
hear the soft tinkle of guitar mingled
with the sweet voices of the men and
women of the vaqueros, singing the
Spanish love songs of another day, it
seemed travesty on Los Angeles bust
ness judgement to rule all that out of
exhibition.
There will be a meeting Tuesday
night at o'clock at DR.. Shurtleff's s
offices in the Auditorium building, at
which all arrangements will be COM
pleted and a definite program for the
big Fiesta day outlined. Prizes for the
contests will also be arranged and the
vaqueros have decided to give an ex-
hibition that will please the visitors so
much that they will never forget it.
