Why for MCGOVern?

Gov. McGovern has the unmiti-
gated nerve to make public his
pent up and egotistical feeling that
the support of Senator LaFollette
was an hindrance to him, rather
than plitical campaign boon, he,
the governor, feeling that his vote
on Nov. 5th was greatly diminish
ed as a result of Mr.. LaFollette's
efforts to save the cause" and
keep Wisconsin from swinging into
the folds of democracy,
The attitude of Gov. McGovern
shows that he is an migrate per-
sonihed and lacking of any sense
of gratitude. Had it not been for
the support of the senior senator,
McGovern would have been over
whelmingly defeated for reelection.
Ii was the half-hearted support OF
the Wisconsin Napoleon that saw
ed Mes political bacon and kept
the Badger state in the republican
column.
If any should feel that there was
any political love attachment ex-
listing between LaFollette and Nc
Govern-well, there's another guess
coming. Robert was almost be-
tween the devil and the deep sea.
To turn down the candidate tor
reelection would mean spelling the
chances for political ascendency or
even to retain his seat in the u.
S..senate. Thus it appears that the
LaFollette's work for McGovern
was not out of love for him per
sonally, but on the contrary de-
sire to hang on himself.
Politics is a great game. The
more one looks into it, the more he
observes the race horse tactics.
The politicians today who die and
bleed for their country are fewer
than fans in Klondike. But this is
DEPRESSING from the subject. The
organization of the new Legislature
is coming. Then will tell who the
gladiator of Wisconsin politics Is.
It's dollars to doughnuts it will no.
be McGovern.

About ReferendumS

During the past few years, po-
litical theorist have been advocat-
ing the enactment of laws for an
initiative, referendum and recall,
not tor one moment realizing what
it meant nor how it would work
practically. Take this state for
instance. At the recent election
three amendments 10 the constitu-
ton were submitted to the voters
and only one voter in fifteen took
any interest in the matter, and the
proposed change to the state sta
tutesI giving women the right of suf-
frage only one in five voted for or
against it. The trouble is, that
the average voter has not the time,
even if the ability to study and an
alize the amendments proposed,
relying on the men sent to the leg
islature to see that only good a
mendments are submitted to t h e
voters for either their approval or
rejection. The trouble is, b
there is too many laws and there
should be less laws and more en-
forcement of such laws as are ab-
soluely necessary for sane govern
ment.

The Bull Moosers in Boston
celebrated their victory one night
with wine and wind-their defeat
of the republican presidential nom
inee, which no doubt was the pur-
pose of Theodore Roosevelt, who,
never for a moment thought he
would be elected to the presidency
if he did, he is certainly the most
egotistical man in the country. La
Toilette might have been elected if
nominal d, but Roosevelt, never

1t is estimated that 100, 900 less
votes were polled in Wisconsin at
the recent election than were regis
tered. Probably republicans who
were disguised at the political
cathauling" that has obtained IN
this state the past ten or twelve
years-but every citizen who ne
elects to vote, without a valid ex-
cuse should be required to pay a
stiff fine for his want of patriotism.
In only sixteen states at most
thirteen old slave states with Ari-
iona, Oklahoma and possibly Cal
ifornia-did the Wilson vote exceed
the combined Taft and Roosevelt
vote. The sixteen states cast I73
electoral votes. In thirty-two states
certainly the combined Taft a n d
Roosevelt vote exceeded the Will
son vote. These states cast $50
electoral votes, or ninety-two more
than a constitutional majority.
Thus it will be seen, that Theo-
dore Roosevelt elected Gov. Will
son, all because he was piqued at
his failure to receive the republi-
can presidential nomination De-
feated the party that honored him
beyond his merits.
