Mr.. Baker voted against submitting
the prohibition amendment in 1908,

A WARM FIGHT
IN WISCONSIN
Today's Primaries Will De-
eide Political Future of
Senator LaFollette,
Insurgent Leader

Robrt LaFollette will be renomina.
ted by vote OF two to one over his
opponent s.. A. Cook. In the race for
United States senator. This is the
general opinion as the voting progress
es. The polls were crowded early

His strongest opponent Is E. Il. Fair

Milwaukee. Wis, Sept 6.--United
States Senator LaFollette's fight for
his political life will be- decided by
today's primaries. He has announced
that he will not be candidate for re-
election before the legislature unless
he wins I'm the primary contests. and
III defeated today he will abandon his
toga During tho campaign just
closed, the Wisconsin senator has
spent much OF his timo on his farm
near Madison.
LaFpllette's republican opponent for
the senatorial toga Is Samuel A. Cook,
OF Neenah. wealthy manufacturer
who has been prominent In Wisconsin
politics for many years. The demo.
Gratis will support Burt Williams. for.
NOR mayor OF Ashland.
In the past Senator LaFolIette has
had the support OF many democrats.
Owing to the republican split this
year. the democrats consider victory
for their own party and candidates as
a possibility, and IL Is probable that
I.aFollette will lose many votes on
this account. The Socialists, having
captured Milwaukee, are also a power
To be reckoned with and may cut
swathe in the "insurgent" ranks.
Now that he has become alienated
from the Stephenson forces, Senator
LaFollette has had no financial as
sistance from that source. This loss
has been more than made up by the
assistance Of William Mitchell, tho
"insurgent" candidate for governor.
Lewis is multi-millionaIre automo-

Trinity's Tenements.

The widely criticised Trinity Church
of New York is disposing of its tene-
ment houses. Evidently the cam
paign of criticism is bearing fruit, for
the buildings are not being sold at the
high prices which they could undoubt-
eddy command but are being demol-
shed. Since the magazines directed
their attacks upon this church or
ganization, its management has left no
stone unturned to meet the campaign
with denials and literature tending to
show that conditions have been mis-
represented. Nearly every editorial
desk in the country has been Uttered
during the last year with pamphlets
and paper bound volumes showing
shop girls passing the noon hour i'm
graveyards. tenements which, accord
ing to the inscription under the pic
lures, are clearly and healthful and
various fresh air benevolences carried
on under the auspices of the church.
All this was doubtless expected to
quiet criticism, but that it did not
succeed is evidenced by this latest
move of the church corporation.
Nine of the tenements have been or
dered RACED and the permits have been
issued by the building inspector. These
buildings which for years have shut
out the light and air from the dwellers
in the squalid buildings in front have
been ordered torn down AS soon as
the tenement houses can be replaced
with business blocks those eyesOres
will also be removed.
According to the New York Press,
Since Trinity's secular greed has been
decried as out of accord with its
Christian mission of philanthropy the
officers of Trinity Corporation have
begun to dispose of their tenement
buildings as quickly as possible. They
seldom made improvements i'm the
houses, but converted them into fac
tory and business buildings where
greater income was assured. Thus in
many of the lofty buildings that have
replaced the old rickety dwelling
houses sweat shops are operated and
other industrial pursuits followed
where thetcomfort of the employee has
been negligible consideration.
1t is evident that the removal of
these tenementS is not done for any
philanthrOpic purpose.
