STRAIGHT UP TO TEDDY

deserting to Roosevelt. The statement
said in part: LA Toilette claims that
before consenting to make the fight
he had every assurance from Roosevelt
that under no condition would he be
a candidate in 1912. AS the reasons
for Tafts retirement grew and indica-
tions of progressive strength develop
ed, the Roosevelt boom was launched.
THE crisis was reached when many
who had pledged support to La Fol
lette suddenly announced the dis
covery that. La Toilette could not win
and the nation demanded Roosevelt.
THE first break came Friday night
when La Toilette was suffering from
his shattered nerve system, and com
mitted what even his most loyal friends
admit was a grievous political blunder
by attacking without discrimination
the press of the nation.

TROY FARMER OPPOSED
TO WASTE OF FUNDS

81 am not in favor of repairing the
old court house." said Henry Halseth,
a young farmer whose home is some
three miles east of Troy. Mr.. Halseth
was in Moscow yesterday and to the
editor of the Star-Mirror expressed
himself very decidedly on the court
house issue. He said:
81 would not, were I going to build
a barn, patch up an old shack. 1t
would not be good business for a
farmer to do this. 1t is better, if we
have reached the point where we must
have more room and some protection
for the records, to build new court
house and be through with it. OF

payers will get the kind of building

La Toilette Still Fighting.

WASHINGTON Feb. 6. - Unless
some bargain is struck with Roosevelt
and unless the Colonel will make
some declaration of principles to which
La Toilette can suscribe, La Toilette
positively will enter the Chicago con-
vention against all comers.
This in brief is the situation in the
progressive camp today following the
practically general demand OF La Fol
lette's supporters that he quit.
Several leading progressives are try
ing to bring about correspondence
between Roosevelt and La Toilette,
hoping that the Colonel will declare
himself along lines similar to La Fol
lette's belief. 1t is planned then to
use this declaration. If it is secured,
against Taft.
Practically only one big figure today
stands loyal to La Toilette. He is
Governor Johnson of California, who
says he has pledged support and will
remain loyal until La Toilette re-
leases him.
In a statement issued from La Fol-
lette's headquarters today it was ad-
m;tted that La Follette's friends were

Mr.. Halseth said that he had not
personally investigated the court
house, but he had little doubt as to the
need of new building. If there is
need, as he believes there is, he is in
favor of a new one He argued that
even if we patched up the old one
it would not meet the needs of the

in the end be compelled to pay for a
new building with whatever money
that is spent patching up the old

Old Principle-New Leader.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Amos Pinchot
brother of Clifford Pinchot, today dis
cussed the progressive republican
nomination imbroglio saying:
Many supporters of La Toilette
feel that Roosevelt is not as far ad-
vanced as La Toilette in progressivism
but it is clear that they agree on the
fundamentals and above all have the
same convictions that the country be-
longs to the people and the govern
ment must be an instrument for the
peoples benefit.
la Follette's withdrawal would
mean simply that the progressives
realize that owing to the demand for
Roosevelt and on account of La Fol
lettes health he cannot accomplish
his purpose.
with him out the progressives
would continue to fight for the old
principles under new leader. (.
