Washington d. G. December IL.
One OF the statements which is in.
teresting Washington very much
during the opening days of the ses-
sion is that put forth by Judge Nor
is, insurgent Representative from
Nebraska relative to the nomination
of Senator LaFollette. In an author
ICED interview given out at the La
Toilette headquarters the Congress-
man said:
IF the people of the entire coun-
try could express their choice for
president at the primaries, ] have
not the slightest doubt in the world
that Mr.. LaFollette would be the
next Republican nominee for Presi-
dent-and l believe" he added,
that he will be nominated anyway. !"
WheH asked about the south
where are almost as many votes
among the federal Office holders as
there are at the polls 10 the general
election, the Nebraska Representa-
tive said:
Those fellows from the south are
animated largely from selfish mo-
tives; they want to hold onto their
jobs. They know that the DOLLY way
they can do that is to have Re-
publican president elected. They
don't care any more for Taft than
they do any one else. Now, there
are several states where the people
will have chance to declare their
preference for presidential candi-
dates atssthe primaries. Such states
as Oregon, North Dakota, Nebras-
ka, New Jersey and Sc 'eral others
have given the people this right.
These states will hold their primary
elections early, and there is no
doubt in the world. that they will
vote strong for LaFollette. When
those southern fellows get the idea
into their head that Taft cannot be
elected, they will all be for LaFol-
Ietre."

Byron Weeks of Blue Earth,
Kansas, arrived in the city the
latter part of last week and will
have charge of the LoVeland
farm west Of the city. Mr..
Weeks has been engaged in
farming on prairie lands the
greater part of his life and he is
experienced in his line. He first
visited this country a. year ago
and was so impressed with
everything that he decided to
locate ih this section. Mr.. Weeks
says he never saw such clover
and grass as grows on the lands
around Washburn and it is his
opinion that this will become q
great dairy and fruit country.
After arriving here he was sur
prised at the mildness of the
weather and he stated that they
felt the cold more in Kansas
more than they do here. Mr..
Weeks says that there are many
more people in Kansas who will
locate in this country providing
that be finds it what he thinks
he will.
