INTERESTS ACTIVE"

The activity shown by the opposit-
ion to La Toilette leaves no doubt
that a bitter fight will be waged
against his reelection to the United
States Senate.
The opposition to La Toilette are
well organized and have had, and no
doubt now have, men out through
this county organizing the same on
the quiet against him.
This Village has been visited fire.
quently Of late by a man by tn
name of Stephen J. LeahH who says
he is from Marshfield, Wisconsin
and who is out to find candidate;
for member of the Assembly from
this County, who will if elected vote
against the reelection of La Toilette
to the U. S. Senate.
La Toilette has been doing some
noble work in the q. S. Senate and
there is no doubt but that it is
largely through his efforts that Can
non, Aldrich and Hale have decided
not to stand for reelection. If La
Toilette had done no other work
than to assist in Kidding the Country
of such men as Cannon, Aldrich and
Hale, he ought to receive the vote
of the common people of this state
to man.
The Interests are alarmed at
the strength shown today by the
PrOgresSive's lead by La Toilette in
both Houses of Congress and want
to get rid of him, no matter what it
costs, before they lose any more of
their friends.
1t will be necessary for the people
of this County to see to it that the
right men are sent to the legislature
as La Toilette must be elected by
the legislature.
The people of Waushara County
are able to pick out and elect their
own Member of the Assembly and
other legislative officers and it is not
necessary for Stephen J. Leahy to
come down here from MarshfieM to
pick out a member of the Assembly
for us.
There are two candidates in the
field from this County for the legis-
| lature who are true blue La Toilette
supporters, and who have been La
Toilette supporters ever since he
started in politics in this state. They
are Mike O'Conor of Hancock, for
the Assembly and E. F. Kileen OF
Wautoma. for the State Senate. If
| these men are elected there will be
no doubt about who they will vote
for. for United States Senator Red

Success Of the Progressive Movement

From all parts of the country come
encouraging reports of the progress
toward the return to representative
government. The election of Herbert
P. Keller as mayor of St. Paul is a
victory for good municipal govern
ment. st. Paul was one of the worst
boss ridden cities in the United Sta
ties. The machine, according to a
writer in the Chicago Public, was a
complete alliance, offensive and de
fensive, between the public service
corporations and all forms of vice
under the personal direction of as

ger ais exists i'm any city anywhere.
