Ask La Toilette Pledge.
Milwaukee, Wis, June 17.-When
the republican delegates to Chicago
met here today, preparatory to leav-
ing for the national convention, they
were asked to pledge themselves now
to Senator La Toilette until released.
1t is understood that th~ delegation
has agreed to remain solid for the
Wisconsin senator as long as there
is chance of his choice. On the
democratic side it is not so certain
that the delegates will stick to Will
son, and it is predicted that the Wis
consin men will switch to Bryan if
it is shown that Wilson can not be
nominated.
