Wisconsin is another state In which
Mr.. Taft realizes lot of work will
have TO be done in IL its electoral vote
is to be saved for the Republican
column. I.aFollette's assurances OF
support are not seriously regarded, for
il Is well known here that he feels
the sting OF having all of his plat
form recommendation tossed out OF
the Chicago convention. The fact
that these very recommendations OF
I.aFollettes that the Chicago con.
yentlon rejected were embodied In the
platform adopted by the Democratic
convention at Denver. and the knowl-
edge that there Is mighty friendly
feeling existing between Bryan and
LaFolette is causing lot OF uneasi-
ness in the Taft camp as regards the
vote OF Wisconsin. 1t is realized that
il will be hard for foreign campaign
orators to go into Wisconsin during
the campaign with nothing but lot
OF hot air TO work OF on the intellec-
tual I.aFollette Republicans OF that
state. The Reputation OF Wisconsin $
platform recommendations Is keenly
felt by the LaFollette men, and word
comes from that state that there Is
plenty OF secret jubilation among the
LaFolletters because the Democratic
platfrom proclaims for the direct nom

publicity OF campaign contributions
