SOME of the local LaFollete repub-
licans are becoming very much ex-
cited over the chances their leader
has in having the Taft delegates
switch over to him, and help nomi-
nate him over Roosevelt at the con-
vention in Chicago, if it proves to be
an impossibility to secure the nomina-
ton for Taft. This appears to be
about the closest La Toilette will
ever come to get the nomination for
president.

A Reforming Influence.

THAT automobile bought has been

1T has benefited me morally as well

intoxicants and to lead life that will
insure me as beautiful an obituary as
possible"

Increased Capacity.

Inc seating capacity of the great
Coliseum in Chicago has been in
creased for the National Republican
convention that will open on June
18, and which promises to be the
most notable since civil war times
in the crowds assembled and in the
keenness of the contest. There will
be seats for IL, 1879 and for those
who can elude the policemen there
also are the trusses and girders
where during coventions of less
interest men have taken their
chances with bluecoats and the law
of grayitation to hear and see from
lofty perches. The day that the build
ing was turned over to Sergeant
alarms William f. Stone, hundreds
of men were set to work under di-
rection of an architect who had de-
signed the seating arrangement and
the work begun on the necessary
changes and construction. Every
thing will be in readiness, it is said,
by June IA, with the windrows of
seats filing the main floor and the
balcony. The new arrangement
makes provision for seating dele
gates and others as follows:
Delegates seats 1913
Alternate seats 1919
Press seats 400
Guests, main floor $500
Guests, balcony 5000
Platform 1892
1t is of peculiar interest that
there will be witnessed the Roose-
velt-Taft convention under the same
roof as sheltered the convention four
years ago where Taft was the avowed
candidate of Roosevelt. Since that
time many notable events have taken
place in the coliseum, national con-
ventions and expeditions that have
attracted people, and wonderful ex-
hibits from many lands, including
land shows which did much to stimu-
late the black to the farm" move
ment, expositions of Office supplies,
automobiles, electrical devices and
of many other things. Annually it
has been the scene of another i'm
portant event, the opening of the
circus season where the new turns
were put on to hold the small boy in
perennial subsection.

Against State Parks.

=
The following letter published last
week in the Rhinelander News from
A. w. Brown of the Brown Broth
ers' Lumber Company of that city
shows the view leading men take of
the re-forestry idea of the state
department and is of general inter
est:
''The state of Wisconsin now
owns about $50, 900 acres or twenty
townships of land in the upper
Wisconsin river valley. 1t proposes
to enlarge their holdings to $780,
900 acres or sixty-fve solid town
ships. This territory would equal
two counties as large as Oneida
county if solidly blocked up. AS con-
trolled by the state it will cover
much larger territory as there will
be in these holdings many small
settlers and land owners who will be
enclosed or partly enclosed by this
territory. The plan, as understand
it, is to take in all that possibly can
be secured in the upper lake regions
of Oneida, Villas, Iron and Ashland
counties which is the most beautiful
and fertile portion of upper Wiscon-
sin. And for what purpose is this
territory secured by the state2 To
plant a crop which will take 100
years or more to mature; to turn
this region back to a forest; to
make it a home for wild animals and
a playground for the idle rich of the
great cities.
"This territory commences within
eight miles of Rhinelander and will
extend over the greater portion of
the northern part of the state. 1t
will encompass every farmer within
its territory. 1t is bought by the
taxpayers money but will pay no
taxes. 1t will arrest the development
of this portion of the state; it will
stop the growth and destroy every
little village within its borders. 1t
will arrest and retard the growth of
every city. the size of Rhinelander;
no mill or manufacturing plant in
northern Wisconsin can escape
higher cost for its raw material on
account of this territory being with
held from the market. The sawmills
and paper mills must go out of bus
mess or go through this territory be-
fore they can reach logs and pulp
wood. The railroads will carry no
freight to or from this territory;
their only service will be the hunter
and the fisherman and these people
will not be taxpayers.
In other words, the so-called pro-
gressive government at Madison is
using our money to destroy us. They
are telling us what they are trying
to do for the dear people. l am call
ing your attention to what they are
doing and what they will do.
Every man north of central Wis
consin should enter his protest
against this action of the state and
carry it far enough if necessary to
vote solidly against the people who
are pushing this scheme. 1t has
taken resolute men and devoted
women fifty years to develop the
upper Wisconsin and Chippewa
valleys where they now stand. We
who live in this country cannot
afford to have the state at this
time stop the growth of our cities
and villages and farming industries,
turn back immigration into other
territory and tax the people now
here to carry on a scheme for their
destruction"
