the leading progressives OF the state

uniformly favorable TO the candidacy
OF the Wisconsin man for president.
No attempt was made to bring the
question of the merits OF the Rich

Thomas Potwin and Senator
Crawford. All addresses were en-
lthusiastic for La Toilette and each
speaker was given hearty applause.
Mr.. Crawford said Senator La Fol-
lette is in the fight to stay and has
been for several months. The sem
ator said:
He is a poor man, but gives no
thought to himself or his personal
interest in the coming campaign.
His efforts are great sacrifice. His
only ambition is that the progress
sive idea be kept alive. and that pro-
gressive principles prevail. Ques-
tions now before the people are so
great that they make necessary the
extension of functions of the federal
government State actions are pow
erless against national corporations.
President Taft's work in the inter-
est of the paper and pulp section of
the reciprocity bill was to win sup
port OF the newspapers in making
cheaper paper, which caused their
change in attitude. The reciprocity
compact leaves nothing to the farm
er nor protection to the American
mills.
I'm personal way, ! have high
regard for President Taft, but the
present situation demands a fight. 1t
is unworthy of the western spirit,
| if we do not organize and fight for
our rights.
For LaFollcttc Only.
- know of no other man in the
! United States so we'll equipped by
ability, experience and purpose, who
can be found at all comparable with
Senator La Toilette
"All other considerations should
be swept aside and South Dakota
out into the clear with banners fly
ing in favor of La Toilette for pres.
ident."
Senator Crawford states that he
would assist in any way possible to
send La Toilette delegation to the
next republican national convention
who will stand firm for the nomi-
nation of the Wisconsin statesman.
The committee on permanent or
ganization pledged itself to further
the candidacy of Senator La Follet
te and resolutions were adopted ia
vorable to this pledge and endorsing
the La Toilette principles, as they
affect state and national legislature
and proclaim the purposes of the
progressives of the country, par.
Iticularly those relating to railroads
trust and other corporations, the
coinage and issuance of money ant
the protection of American indus
tries
