LAFOLLETTE WARS ON CANNON
PREFERS REPUBLICAN LOSS TO
SPEAKERS TRIUMPH.
Senator Declares Uncle Joe Is q
Traitor to Party-Aids Taft,
Lauds Bryan.

MILWAUKEE. Wis. October 24.-Sen-
ator Robert NJ. La Toilette is conducting
the most remarkable campaign ever wit
messed in Wisconsin
He is. with the exception of his support
of Taft, advocating or ignoring the other
republican candidates as he feels dis
posed.
La Toilette men, VIXEN candidates. re-
ceve his support. When. however. an as
sembly candidate is not La Toilette fol-
lower he is ignored.
When Senator La Toilette speaks in the
district of a congressman who supports
Cannon he declares he would rather see
a republican candidate defeated than to
have him elected and vote for Cannon.
who he terms a traitor to the party.
Senator La Toilette and Gov. Davidson
are not in harmony. La Toilette is max
ing no mention of the state republican
ticket in his campaign. Gov. Davidson
is expected to be a candidate for La Fol-
lette's seat in the legislature at the next
session.
Senator La Toilette is not campaigning
under the auspices of any political or
ganization. He refused to campaign for
the state republican committee. All his
dates are made by himself and are ar
ranged without any reference to other
meetings that may be held at the same
time or locality.
The reason for this is that the state
committee is controlled by Senator Isaac
Stephenson, who is now an anti-La Fol
lette man, Senator La Toilette having
failed to support him for reelection to
the Senate.
I'm struggle in this state that meant
more than life to me- said the senator
In one address, Mr.. Bryan refused to
come in to restrain Wisconsin democrats
from voting for me. l tell you a man
who takes that position comes pretty near
being patriot by any standard you may
elect"
Then he proceeded to attack the Bryan
proposition to destroy the trusts by put
ing all trust-made articles on the free
list declaring that meant ruin to thou
