VIENNA MAKES WAR
ON MILK PRICES

Vienna, Austria, Jan. 30.-Because
the milk trust has raised prices the
city authorities are considering the
organization Of municipal dairy to
supply the public with milk at a fixed,
moderate price. The milk trusts ca
paCity already has had the effect OF
materially reducing consumption. Ev-
cry day immense quantities Of unsold
milk must be converted into butter or
sour cream.
Meanwhile the struggle between
producers and consumers has been
growing more acute The trust has
organized a war chest" for tie pur-
pose of keeping up the prices no mat
ter what happens The fund has
been raised by levying one-Iitieth
part of a cent on every quart OF milk
sold. This, it is estimated, will yield
$4,000 a year. Public indignation is
keenly aroused and the fight between
the agrarians and the people prom
Uses to be long and bitter.

M'G0vt FN MAKES
ANNOUNCE MENT
DECLARES HIMSELF CANDIDATE
FOR REPUBLICAN NOMINAL
TON FOR GOVERNOR.

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. 1-Francts
o. McGovem yesterday issued a for
nal announcement Of his candidacy
for the republican nomination for
governor. He says:
More than a dozen years ago, under
the farsighted leadership of our pres
ent senior United States senator, Rob
ert NJ. La Toilette, there started
in this state political ovement
which, during the splendid administra-
ton of President Roosevelt, enlarged
in scope until it became national It's
object was to correct corporate ana
monopoly abuses. restore representa-
tive government TO the people and Sc
cur greater equality of opportunity for
all. Notwithstanding determined op-
position shrewdIy intcrposed at every
turn, this movement in favor Of equal
Justice and common fairness pro
crossed year by year until, in every
thing that pertains to sound construc-
tive reform legislation, Wisconsin was
advanced in rank to the very fore
front among the commonwealth o.
America. Then a halt was made.
Whether this halt shall be followed
by reaction and by ignominious re-
treat or by advancement essential to
the welfare of free and progressive
people, the approaching election viii
determine. And the decision of this
question will rightly overshadoW in
importance every other result Of the
campaign.
l believe in the progressive policies
for which the republican party has
stood in this state and in the nation.
| have decided to become a candidate
for the republican nomination for the
office of governor at the ensuing eiec-
ton in the hope that by so doing |
may contribute to the success of those
principles of government in which an
overwhelming majority Of the people
Of Wisconsin believe.
Mr.. McGovern says he has received
numerous proffers Of support and has
been widely urged to make the run.
He promises at a later time to state
his position upon public questions
now pending for solution before the
people Of Wisconsin"

English war talk he said that Ger
