Ashland Wis. May 27.-From in
side La Toilette sources it is learned
that leaders of the Roosevelt forces
have made proposition to Wisconsin
men to unite as a candidate for tenn
porary chairman at the republican
national convention. With the issue
between Taft and Roosevelt so close
Roosevelt men must secure every pos
sible vote to encompass the over
throw Of the Taft program. With his
delegation from Wisconsin and North
Dakota. Senator La Toilette has a
voting body of 36 that may hold the
balance of power in this matter. La
Toilette has declared that when it
comes to president neither Roosevelt
nor Taft will get these delegates. In
order to get these thirty-six La Fol-
lette votes to join forces with them at
the opening of the convention, a plan
has been submitted to members of the
Wisconsin delegation by Roosevelt
leaders to elect McGovern temporary
chairman. though this combination
would not mean that La Toilette men
would support Roosevelt for presi-
dent. Still Roosevelt men believe
That the election of McGovern as tenn
porary chairman would put the Wis
consin delegation in such position
OF fricndliness and gratitude toward
Roosevelt that some of them at least
would fall in line for Roosevelt for
president after a ballot or two had
been taken. Governor McGovern had
SHOWN independence in several mat
ters in dealing with La Toilette and
he is not regarded as one of those
absolutely devoted to the senator

million voters in New Jersey today

selection of presidential candidates
next month at Chicago and Baltimore.
Col. Roosevelt went to his home at
Oyster Bay last night to stay there un-
til after the republican convention ex-
cept for trip to Gettysburg, Pa,
Thursday for a Memorial day address.
PRESIDENT Taft. however. set out
from Atlantic City this morning to
make his last appeal to the voters. He
will make the last speech of his New
Jersey campaign at Glassboro.
New Jersey of late years has been a
hard state for the political prophets
to understand. A large part of the
voting population is employed outside
the state in New York and Philadel-
phia. OF the remainder large num-
hers are factory workers and farmers.
How these elements will vote today is
difficult to foretelI

their respective candidates. LaFol-
lette's friends declare he will make

Superb summer weather prevailed
throughout the state during the FORE
noon.
The voting hours---1 o'clock p. m. to
o'clock, p. m.-were set for the spe-
cial convenience of the commuter
population and heavy vote is ex-
pected during the last three hours the
polls are open.
The opponents Of Wilson are confident
of the election of the "uninstructed"
delegates in this city. Twenty-eight
delegates will be chosen today. four
at-large and two from each of the
twelve congressional districts. In ad-
dition the ballots have a place for a
direct presidential vote

WATER AN ADuLTERANr.

Washington. May 2s.-The addition
of water to canned products will be
considered adulteration in future, ex-
cept in those cases where a certain
amount of water is required for the
proper preparation or for the steriliz-
alton of the product. according to
pure food decision signed today by
Secretary Wilson of the department
of agriculture.
THE can in canned food products
serves not only as container. but
also as an index of the quantity of
food there" the decision says. "It
should be as full of food as is prac-
ticable for packing and processing
without iniuring the quality or ap-
pearance of the contents. Some fold
products may be canned without the
addition of any other substances
whatever-for example. tomatoes.
The addition of water in such in
stances is deemed adulteration."
