WISCONSIN AND THE PRESIDENCY
Movement Inaugurated TO Make Senator
La Toilette State Candidate,

The belief that President Roosevelt
viii decline to stand as candidate for
the denomination for presiden has caus-
ed the friends and admirers of Senator
Robert M. La Toilette to inaugurate a
move looking to placing the Wisconsin
delegation to the national republican
convention at his disposal. In fact con-
ferences and meeting have already been
held in Milwaukee for the purpose, and
it is presumed that organization will be
extended to all sections of the state.
Some days ago the Milwaukee Free
Press sought interviews with state of
ficers, Members of the Legislature and
others on the subject of making Sena-
tor La Toilette the republican cafddii-
date for Wisconsin and there appears
to be quite general assent to the propo-
stion. The officials from this quarter
are quoted as follows:
A SOLID DELEGATION, SAYS DAVIDSON.
IF Senator La Toilette is a candi-
date for president he ought to have a
solid delegation from Wisconsin with
out opposition, said Governor James
10. Davidson. II shall certainly sup
port him.

1t is a great thing for a merchant to
have the exclusive sale lin his region
Of course) of anything wanted by cv-
erybody.
There are two ways to treat such
goods. One is: put the price up and
make big profit. The other way is: be
fair and make more.
Devoe is the paint that takes least
gallons and costs least money, house,
a job, year, a lifetime no matter
how you reckon your costs, except by
the gallon DevOe is the best caretaker
and costs least money.
Don't forget that the principal part
of the cost of paint is putting it on,
less gallons, 80 cost Don't forget
that another principal part of economy
is long wear; less gallons, less cost and
long wear.
1t is great thing to have the exclus-
i've sale of popular goods, of goods that
make friends, of goods that enrich both
the buyer and seller. Devoe is perhaps
only ten per cent better than one OF
two others; but ten per cent. is a plen-
ty il 5 200 or 300 better than many.
There's many merchant who has
not found out his goods 1t doesn t
take man long to find out that Devoe
is the least-money paint and why, nc
matter which side he is on.

For thirty years an invalid, for thirty
years an accomplishing, sweetsouled
and devoted wife and mother, Mrs.
William Mckinley is dead at Canton,
where she was laid beside her martyred
husband 1t is to the glory of the
nation that it can number among its
citizens such spirits as William Nc
Kinley and his wife. His love for her
was proverbial, but all IT, devotion
which he lavished was not greater than
the joy and the inspiration he drank in
from the strong soul that dwelt within
that feeble body. She viii sleep be-
side him, now that the great Angel has
once more united those whom he some
times sundered. Both, having done
their work, have journeyed on, but the
nation is better for having known them
for a little while. Milwaukee Journal.

BABYS LIFE OF LUXURY.
MIlIionaire's Tiny Daughter Spends
$500 a Week at Atlantic City.

Occupying one of the most expensive
suits in the Traymore hotel and accom-
panied by retinue of trained nurses
and attendants, Miss Yvonne Gaurard,
aged six years, of New York and Paris
Is one of the most interesting visitors
at Atlantic City, says the Philadelphia
Press. Little Miss Gaurard is conva-
lescing from u severe Illness and ar
rived at Atlantic City recently accom-
panied by number of nurses and at
PENDANTS on a special car over the
Pennsylvania railroad. Every morning
Miss Gaurard invariably finds a cable
message from her parents, who are in
Paris, bidding her good morning and
making inquiry as to her condition.
Before breakfast the little girl has die.
tated a reply through stenographer,
who is one of her attendants, and has
csbled a reply to her father and moth
er. At noon and also at night before
retiring she sends other messages and
receives as many from France.
One of the expensive rooms which
the tiny child Of fortune occupies has
been fitted up as play room. Several
thousand dollars would not pay for the
many costly toys and novelties which
the room holds. There are walking
dolls. dolls that can talk, stuffed bears
and dogs and monkeys that climb
ropes and scale ladders and tiny man
sions for the dolls and little Miss eau
rard to play at housekeeping.
The little girl is anxious to see her
little foster brother whom her parents
recently adopted in Paris, for Yvonne
Is an only child and pines for the asso
citation of other children. 1t was to
supply her yearning that the Gaurards
have adopted the tiny foster brother.
This little girl spends money lavish
ly and is liberal In distributing tips tn
the hotel servants. She is a general
favorite with the guests and is pointed
out as ''the rich little girl who has the
most expensive suit of apartments and
the largest retinue of attendants OF
any child here"
1t has been estimated that Miss eau
rard's expenses. including her hotel
bill, amount TO nearly $500 a week
Her father Is one of the millionaires OF

last campaign. Then, perhaps, the
Westby Times might exert its benign
influence. Providing, of course, that
the Westby Times takes the precaution
to ascertain who the first, second or
third choice of the Westby Times is.
But why split hairs over matter that

CATS EIGHTY FOOT LEAP.
Admiral Togo Lands Safely and Whips
His Feline Rojestvens<y.


Admiral Togo. an Angora cat, jump
ed seven stories the other day, vaulted
six foot fence and whipped his rival
to standstill, says the New York
World. This is the tale told by his fond
posseSsors and youched for as gospel
truth by many who rushed to Togo's
aid, expecting to attend his funeral.
Togo makes his home with the family
of Charles Littlefield In the Wellington
apartments in New York. Miss Helen
Littlefeld Is his special caretaker Her
uncle brought Togo over from Japan
three years ago.
By way of getting a reputation he
swallowed paris green and lived to
fight again.
Miss Helen was playing with the ad-
uiral on the roof of the apartment
house when Togo peeped around an
island, so to speak, and spied his Ro-
jestvensky. who was seated ON d six
foot fence eighty feet below. Togo
sailed through the air much like fly
ing squirrel. alighted In the soft midst
of flower bed and then mounted the
fence and put his enemy to flight.
Togo permitted himself to be carried
upstuirs and petted. Later Veterinari-
an Mulvery thumped Togo from head
TO foot and found nary a scratch.

GREATEST REFORM LEADER.

II consider Senator La Toilette the
greatest leader of the reform move
ment in the United States, says State
Treasurer A. H. Dahl. mo man can
show such remarkable result along the
lines of needed reforms as is shown in
La Follette's work in Wisconsin. The
ad valorem tax law and the railroad
commission law have operated to prove
ests. OF course Wisconsin will send an
absolutely solid delegation to the next
republican national convention, enthusi-
astic for La Toilette for president
No greater impetus could be given the
reform movement than to have such a
man in the whitehOuse.

IN LINE, AS HE ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

Senator o. g. Munson, secretary to
Gov. James O. Davidson, said: Some
months ago an editorial appeared in my
newspaper which reflects my senti-
ments. 1t was predicated on the be-
lief that President Roosevelt is the log
zeal and safe candidate for the republi-
can party in the approaching campaign.
The president has stood the crucial test
and the people believe in him. They al
prove of his official acts and conduct
and the party would take no chances of
an election. | had believed he would
not decline a denomination if the party
demands his continued service. / am
free to say that if Wisconsin is to otter
the republicans of the whole country a
candidate for the presidential success
sion. Senator La Toilette would be the
natural and the logical candidate. If
he is DESTROYS of Wisconsin's support,
let the matter be properly presented,
free rom entangling alliances and
founded on the principles that have
found solution in our state. Under
such conditions doubt if there will be
aught but acquiescence by all the re-
publicans of the commonwealth. If
such shall be the plan of campaign
will, as | have in all past contests
where the senator has been a candidate,
and where important issues have been
involved, give hearty support to such
movement -

invitations have been sent out through
the national committeeman of each
party and win be followed up with
characteristic Chicago cordiality and

Wisconsin sent nearly 100, 600 men to
the Civil War out of a population of
about seven hundred thousand, almost
one in seven of the entire people of the
state. OF these over 1900 died, or
about one in eight. What would the
peace loving people of today think il
they We're called on to send to war one
man out of seven of all the men, women
and children. and of those sent, one IN
eight should be selected to seal their
devotion with their life? And yet We
have no doubt that the people Of this
day of blessed peace, would be ready
to make just as great sacrifice if their
country We're in danger, as did the
fathers and mothers of 1861 5. Elk.
