NAL announcement Of his candidacy
for the republican nomination for

More than dozen years ago, under
the far-s lighted leadership of our pres
ent senior United States senator, Rob-
ert NJ. La Toilette, there was started
in this state political movement
which, during the splendid administra-
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 OPP
position shrewdly interposed 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 Of
America. Then halt was made
Whether this halt shall be followed
by reaction and by ignominious re-
treat or by advancement essential to
the welfare of a free and progressive
people, the approaching election will
determine. And the decision of this
question will rightly overshadow in
Importance every other result of the
campaign.
| believe in the progressive policies
for which the republican party has
stood in this state and in the nation.
l have decided to become a candidate
for the republican nomination for the
office of governor at the ensuing cleo
ton in the hope that by so doing l
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,

CATTLE SUPPLY
MAY BE CUT OFF
SMALL DEALERS POSITIVE PACK
ERS SOON WILL MAKE
CONCESSIONS.

New York, Jan. 29.-There was d
widespread understanding among re-
tail butchers here yesterday that
western packers have decided to cut
in half their shipments of cattle to
this city in an effort to uphold the
price of beef. The packers denied it.
On the other hand the small deal
ers are equally positive that the pack
ers are only talking big and that II
the boycott continues concessions In
wholesale prices must come FANNY
trade in meals continues to dwindIe
and prices continue to fall in conse-
quence.
Resentment against the Increase in
the cost of living has thus far main
ly centered upon the packers, but an
independent investigator came out
with figures yesterday which tended
to show that in the better class or
trade at least, the retailer absorbs
the larger share of the profits, leav-
ing the packer only what he can
make on the sale of by-products.

Der of interesting facts. 1t recites
that Klimis and Graham came to Mil
waukee direct from the Pacific coast,
where they had successfully operated
in the same game for some little
time, being attracted to the Wiscon-
sin metropolis because of the but

PRESIDENT TAFT
LOOKING INTO FUTURE

Washington, JAN 29.-Fear of the
outcome of the coming elections and
that he may have democratic house
to deal with during his last two years
in the chair, has caused President
Taft to plan the healing of the inter
nal differences in the republican
party. He proposes conferences with
the leaders OF the doubtful districts
of South Dakota, Ohio, New York,
Iowa. Nebraska and Kansas. Insur-
gents and regulars will be lined up.
Democratic success in Ohio will re
elect Governor Harmon, who will be
a likely candidate for the presidency
in 1912. The results in Ohio, New
York and Indiana will largely deter
mine the control of the next house.

Indianapolis. Jan. 29.-'I am in
formed that there is an organized eff
fort to break up this convention, de
clared Thomas L. Lewis, president of

multi after a controversy over the
adoption of the presidents report.
The temporary chairman, Thomas
Donoway Of Tennessee, had ruled
that an aye and no vote had deter
mined that the convention had adopt
ed the report. The anti-Lewis faction
demanded roll call, but Lewis, TAX
ing the gavel, refused to permit con
side-ation of such a motion until to
day.
Cries of shame and gag rule
filed the hall, and it was Impossible
to get a hearing for Congressman w
B. Wilson, former secretary of the
united mine workers, who was to have
made an address.
Inc protest against the adoption oil
the Lewis report was led by Francis
Feehan, president of the Pittsburg
district, who charged that Lewis had
a private understanding with Pres
ident Taylor of the Pittsburg coal
company, and had called off a strike
against the company with the result
that ten thousand miners had suffered
