Congressman Lenroot's withdrawal
of his name as a candidate for dele
gate at large from Wisconsin to the
Republican National Convention has
created much discussion and specula-
tion as to the reasons therefor
Owing to the unusually close relation
that have long existed between
Senator LaFollette and himself the
only reasonable conclusion is that he
has decided the senator has no chance
to win in his presidential ambitions
and is prepared to climb onto the
Roosevelt cart in case it becomes the
loaded band wagon. The modern
politician is closely watching the
trend of public sentiment and no
personal friendship or obligation for
past favors is permitted TO interfere
with his getting in line where he
feels that his own political fortunes
may be advanced.

WcIoUsNEss OF MODERN POLITICS

A Washington dispatch contains
information Of and the declaration of
Congressman Arthur W. Kopp that he
will not stand for denomination at
the September primary. He says
that in his first contest he had stated
shat two terms should be the limit of
his seeking if his party gave him
nomination and the people favored
him by election, and that he proposes
to keep faith with his early declara-
tiOn. That the young congressman
has made a creditable record and
served with fidelity and been re-
sponsive to the demands Of consti-
tuents, the Censor believes none will
attempt to deny. His service has
been during period of party strife
and belittlement and personal and
official denunciation and detraction

ONE STRAW VOTE.

According to The Nation, the
following bit of interesting news
relative to a straw vote on choice fol
presidential nominees was recently
taken with surprising results for Col.
Roosevelt and very flattering to Presj
dent Taft. The Nation says
Zone straw vote in the West has
been strangely overlooked by the
Colonels admirers, though it gives
convincing proof of his immense
popularity We refer to the postal :
card canvass conducted by the APP
peal to Reason. This is the we'll
known socialist paper, with a large
circulation. Calling upon it's readers
for an expression of their presidential
preferences, it has found, to date, that
Al, 1884 of them want Roosevelt, while
only 1926 declare for Taft This looks
perfectly overwhelming till we note
that Roosevelt really ran fourth, Debs
leading with 60, 928 votes. Mcnamara
getting 81, 1876, Gompers being third
with 48, 225. Closely after Roosevelt,
the fourth favorite, came Haywood
with II, 100 votes. This is fine COM
pany for the Colonel. But as he is
only fourth in the affections of the
socialists. it follows, by the ir-
resistible logic which has been used
in connection with the other Western
straw votes. that there is a whirwind
demand Of the people that Debs be
made president. -

Showalter. These sad events bring
it to my notice that it may not be
long before I Will have to pack my
knapsack and fold my tent to take no
my march to the unknown beyond.
The death Of my old friend Show
alter affected me profoundly. For
forty years we had been on intimate
terms, our children had played
together, had grown up to manhood
and womanhood and we rejoiced to
know that they had become good men
and women. He was one of the best
men I ever have known, a good safe
business man, man of great tact to
hold his friends and acquire new ones.

comrade Jack, the last tattoo has
called thee to thy tent. Taps to you
