LaFoIlette wars With His Party.

LaFOIlette Wars With His Party. Milkaukee Special.
 Senator LaFollette is conducting the most rsmackable campaign ever wit messed in Wisconsin. He Is, with the exception of his support of MT. Tart, advocating or Ignoring the other Re- publican candidates as% he feels dis- posed
 When an Assembly candidate is not 8 La Toilette follower, he is ignored. When he speaks in the district of Congressman who supports Cannon, he declares he would rather see a Re- publican candidate defeated than to have him elected and vote for Cannon, whom he terms a traitor to the party.
 Senator Free Lance.
 Senator La Toilette and Governor Davidson are not in harmony. La Fol- lette Is making no mention of the State Republican ticket in his cam ed to be a candidate for La Follette's seat in the Senate next election. Sem ator La Toilette Is not campaigning under the auspices of any political or- ganization. He refused to campaign for the Republican State Committee.
 All his dates are made by himself and are arranged without any refer ence to other meetings that may be held at the same time or in the same locality.
 The reason for this Is that the State Committee Is controlled-by Senator Stephenson. who is now an anti-La Toilette man, La Toilette having fall ed to support him for reelection to the Senate.

 This Is a great labor State, and the labor element polls heavy vote. Sew enty per cent of this vote Is for MT. Bryan and 10 per cent. for Debs, es- peeiallys in all of the cities and the in the Western Reserve Is not near as largely Republican as 1t has been. and you would be surprised to know that in that section of the State there to Mir. Bryan's proposition as to a guarantee of bank deposits, In Cin- cincinnati. Cleveland. Columbus. Day. ton and other large labor strongholds, shall say. as I have been repeating it all through the West. that at least 75 per cent, if not more. will go for the Democratic. candidate. He Is, to my surprise. stronger in the State than Judge Harmon. the Democratic eandi- date for Governor It would not sur prise me in. the least if Mir. Bryan re- ceived at least 10000 more votes than is conceded. Under these .circum- stances how can Bryan lose the elec- toral vote of the State?
 Also Claimed for Taft. l. s. Henry Columbus Special to Lou
 isville Courier Journal
 Ohio will cast her electoral vote for Taft and sherman. This is the judg- ment of unprejudiced political observ- CTS in their final analysis of a very mixed situation. There are four prom inent features of the campaign. These are the temperance question, the de- fection of Foraker men. the labor vote and the colored vote.
 The Foraker following in Ohio is composed of the most faithful and ag- gressive Republicans. Although some of them. like Charles L.eKurtz. whose Senator Foraker. believe that thous- ands of the Foraker men will vote for Bryan, the consensus of opinion. as gathered by your correspondent, Is that Captain Cope and Mir. Moore have l estimated the defection with accuracy when they put 1t at 1000 in the State.
 As to the labor vote. there has been distinct improvement during the past two weeks. The Democratic claim of wholesale desertion of Taft by labor unionists. particularly those of the railway employes' orSaRizations' | respondent has learned from high au- 1 thority ln the circle of railway em- ployes that a change is taking place CTS Is now strongly toward Taft. Victory in Delaware. Wilmington Special.
 With the election a week off and with an exceptionally strong State ticket, indications point to . Demo. 1 cratic victory in Delaware. The Dem- ocracy is united today as 1t has not been since 1892, when Cleveland car. l ried the State by 49S majority. Not since Addicks and the Du Fonts se- cured control with their money have | the prospects been so bright for De- | mocracy as tkts year.
 One man on the Democratic ticket who Is &niost sure of election Is An drew c. Gray. candidate for Attorney | General, who has been endorsed by both the anti-organizatton Republicans | and Prohibitionists. He is the eldest son of Judge George Gray.
