HAMBECHT AT MARSHFIELD

Mr.. Hambrecht is a candidate i'm
this district for the honors of con
gress and is opposing congressman
Morse who is asking a third term.
The voters of Wood county should
rally to the support of Mr.. Hambrech
and give him a rousing home endorse
ment at the primaries Sept. 9Th 1t
is not often that the people of. a com
munity have the privilege of voting
for one of their citizens to represent
them at Washington and as. this OPP
portunity is now given, Mr. Ham
brecht should be their choice to a
man. No one will question his 10y
atty as a republican, his capability as
a public official or his sincerity of
purpose. He is a lawyer Of the old
school, brainy and bright and on all
questions now confronting the peo-
pie is right. His record as assembly
man from this county ranks him a
mong tile abIest in that body. His
presence in congress would be a
great honor to the whole district and
especially so to this county. Central
Wisconsin needs a man of his stripe
to represent them, a man who has
a mind of his own and not a poIiti-
cal jumping jack and party trans
gressor -Marshfield News.

LA TOILETTE.

The following article taken from
Golfers Weekly shows in what es-
innate Wisconsin's senior senator is
held by the greatest weekly newspa ape
in the country:
A Genuine Leader not infrequent-
ly must wait long for vindication.
Thousands of cautious citizens, who
now stand on important questions
where Senator La Toilette stood a
decade and more ago, then looked
upon him as one whom they would.
have called 'unsound.' But La Toilette
was much sounder, on the whole. than
the rest of us, in his financial and
social theories, and very much sound
er in his personal and ethical compo-
sition. The taste for luxury never
tainted him. Money has never even
remotely influenced his mind. and
within these few months he has raugb
the senate and the country a lesson
IN the proper spirit Of a legislator
whose own interests are affected by
his vote. Years ago he urged reguIa-
ton by commission, long bfeore any
popularity attached to the idea. Years
ago he fought for physical valuation
of railroads, a measure to which most
reasonable men are converted now.
He was one of the first to realize
that government by corporations
not lf-goyernment. No measure even
had his support or opposition, save
Tor considerations of the general vel
fare. In his present office he h
been the very terror Of the senate.
When he entered that august and
crooked hall, it was freely predicted
chat he would be chloroformed within
year Aldrich, whose personal gain
from political corruption Bristow
has recently made clear, has been
quietly devoting his power to the de
feat of La Toilette for reelection,

McGoVERN is THE MAN.

Francis E. McGovern stands before
the people of this city, this state
and this nation as a representative
of honesty in public service" Rob
ret NJ. La Toilette, in South Side Turn
Hall, Milwaukee, November 1906.
4 tell you, fellow-citizens, that all
over this land of ours there is a migf
~ contest on between corruption, and
honesty in government, and Francis e
McGoyern stands as the representa-
tive of, fearless, incorruptible, able
honesty in the administration of the
prosecuting office of the county"

Milwaukee, November, 1906.
Mr. McGovern is the Progressive
Republican candidate for governor at
the primaries September 6. You see
