he is not the statesman the great
majority of people have conceded
him to be. The only alternative
is that either President Taft or
Senator LaFollette has made an
egregious blunder as to the effect
that the vetoed wool measure would
have had on the wooden industries
of the United States. -Waukesha
Freeman.
1t is not difficult 70 determine
who made the blunder. Senator
LaFollette, let it be said to his
credit, believes in moderate pro-
tective tariff which will protect the
home producer and factory operat-
ors against the cheap wool of
South America and the cheap labor
OF Europe, and it will be remem-
bered that when the wool bill was
under consideration in the senate,
Senator LaFollette offered an
amendment to the bill placing the
tariff on raw wool at s. per cent.
instead of 20, knowing that a
greater reduction would be detri
mental to the wool raising interests
IN this country. Why Senator La
Toilette voted for the bill as orig
lnallv introduced, puzzles his
friends, and the reduction of the
imported duties on wool will help,
rather than injure President Taft.
All, with the exception of the ultra
protectionists, will admit that the
tariff was too high under the Payne
Aldrich tariff law, and the cut
should have been on manufactured
woolens and not so great on the
raw material.

Did as He Was Directed.

Henry Johnson, who is a can
didate for the republican nomina-
ton for state treasurer, in his auto
biography published in the primary
pamphlet and sent to every voter
in the state says; my record in
the Legislature is pretty we'll known.
No man could serve three terms in
the legislature while Robert M. La
Toilette was governor, unless he
was right on public questions pre-
scented to the Legislature during
these years. The fact that Mr..
Johnson was but an echo during
his several terms in the legislature,
as he would have the public infer,
and only voted as directed from
the executive office and by his vote
helped place upon the statutes,
laws that are robbing the taxpayers,
is a good reason why he should not
be nominated.

Insurgents Are to Blame.

In a speech in the senate on the
10th inst, Senator LaFollette said:
On the day Theodore Roosevelt
was made president there were 14o
trusts and combinations in the
United States. When he turned
the government over to William H.
Taft, there were 10000 great
plants organized into combinations.
The capital stock of these combina-
tons increased in that time from
1874, 900, 900 to S3I,672, 900, 900,
more than 70 per cent. of which is
water. There has been no diminu-
ton under the present administra-
ton. This administration however
has sought more vigorously to ad-
minister the Sherman antitrust
law" The question naturally
arises: What has been the atti-
tude OF Senator LaFollette toward
President Taft in his efforts to en-
force the law in behalf of the
people?"

The Reduction On Wool.

Is it possible, for instance, that
Senator LaFollette would help put

cal hole? If he would do so then

them should be defeated at the
polls. An honest, loyal democrat
is preferable and the republicans
should vote for them.
1t begins to look as if the voters
would repudiate Theodore Roose-
welt, plastered all over with his re-
pudiation of third term promise,
his Panama canal scandal, his
Paul Morton action, his Tennessee
coal and iron deal and his attitude
in the Harvester matter. Already
his following is disintegrating, and
by the time Of election, it will only
be Me" and "I", the only honest
politician IN the country.
Roosevelt's howl about bosses
is enough to make wooden Indian
snort right out loud with mirth.
This country never produced a
greater political boss than Theo-
dore Roosevelt. He only knows
one man and that is Teddy the
First, and the only man who can
save the country, which needs to
be saved from Just such men as the
insanely ambitious Bull Moose.
The Milwaukee Journal in
scare head line says: "How Presi-
dent has fallen in serving special
privilege interests" Yes, he has
fallen, because he has fought the
special interests so vigorously dur
ing his term of office. Such inter-
ests are against him and will do
all that can be done to encompass
his defeat. The interests Of which
the Journal so glibly speaks are
lined up behind the other presi-
Dental candidates, and if Taft
should be defeated, it will be be-
cause the people have joined hands
with the special privileged inter-
ests.
