A TEST FOR WISCONSIN

The newspapers announce that
Senator LaFollette is already be-
ginning his campaign for re-elec-
ton in 1911. LaFollette has actu-
ally represented the people that
voted for him. He is man who
is absolutely, justly and thoroughly
hated by all the organizations en-
gagged in exploiting the people.
LaFollette may not be the great
est genius that ever lived-he
isn't. And he may not be as radi-
cal as some would like to have him
or rs conservative as some good
friends think he ought to be.
But LaFollette is an honest man.
He has worked for the men of
Wisconsin who put him in office.
He is poor, with not dollar ex-
cept his salary to take care of him
self and his family. He could DO
what the others do. He could BIZ
''let into good things" He could
retire from the Senate rich if he
wanted to. Instead of that he is
struggling for reelection. strug-
Cling for the chance to do once
more the good work to which the
people are entitled. Stnnge to
say. this man, for years II Senator
of the United States. for years in
the body where the Archbolds and
the Others are so active, actually
needs the peoples salary TO sup
port himself and his wife and
children.
The corporations boast that they
will defeat La Toilette. This news
piper does not believe il. Men in
Wisconsin know La Toilette, they
have seen him and studied him
for years, they know his enemies,
they know the results that he has
shown.
It il unthinkable that they
should allow him TO be beaten.

MAKES GOOD GAIN

The Commissioners last week
completed an audit of the books
in the Office of the County Clerk
for the past year, and found the
receipts of the office for the year
of 1909 over and above the salary
ofthec clerk and his deputy, amounts
to the sum of SlO94 20. The law
provides this excess amount shall
be turned into the Ordinary Coun-
ty Revenue Fund of the County,
and no commission on or portion
of such excess fees, are allowed
the clerk.
The business Of the Office has
been on steady gain. The ex-
cess fees for the year 1907 were
s1O7.95. The excess fees for 1908
were &5l4.l5, and for 1909 there
are $lO94.2O. There were filed for
record in the year 1907, l,45l in
struments, in 1905 there were l7i5,
and in 1909 there were 1890 trans
fers recorded. The work has been
done promptly by the clerk with
the assistance of but one person
during the past year, being the
same amount of help that has
always been allowed the office in
the past.
