.LAFOLLETTE TELLS
WHERE He STANDS
Will Not Vote for Taft, Roose.
Welt or Wilson.
IN INDEPENDENT POSITION
Wisconsin Senator, in La Crosse
Speech, Declares He Desires to De
in Place Where He Can Aid wilson,
If latter Is Elected.

La Crosse.-Declaring that ne
proposed to pursue an absolutely IN
dependent position in respect to the
national political situation and that
he did not intend to vote for either
Taft, Roosevelt or Wilson for presl-
dent, Senator r. M. La Toilette made
known his attitude on this question
for the first time in the present cam
paign, in a speech in the La Crosse
theater.
Senator La Toilette compared the
administrations of Roosevelt and
Taft and said that neither had prose
cuted trusts to an extent that kept
pace with the growth of the monopo-
lies. He further said:
THE operation of separating the
illegal trusts from legitimate bust
ness requires the highest degree of
skill and a trained eye and master
mind 1t is no job for bull moose.
Judging by what has happened in the
last four years it doesn't seem to be
a job for an amiable, easy going fat
man.
Il propose to pursue an absolutely
independent position. | do not in
tend to vote for any of these three
men. I am to remain in the United
States senate four years. | want to
be in a position, if Wilson is elected
and shows the proper mettle, to join
with the other progressive republi-
can members to advance the interests
of the people in this country in sup
port of his policies.
II also want to be in a position
where | can assist Mr. Wilson if he
should be elected president and not
be taxed with any responsibility for
his stand. Now you know where |
am at"

ROOSEVELT LANDS
SAFELY At HOME
Big Crowd Greets Colonel at
Oyster Bay.
STANDS TRIP IN GOOD SHAPE
fhrongs at Stations Along Route Re-
frain From Making Demonstra-
tions, Fearing to Disturb
Wounded Ex-President.

New York, Oct 23-When Theodore
Roosevelt reached Oyster Bay on Tues
day on his way to Sycamore Hill,
nearly everybody in town was out to
receive him, but it was not the noisy
celebration his neighbors had planned.
The village was decorated with flags
and bunting, the big Roosevelt and
Johnson banner across the street be-
ing the only touch Of color aside from
flags citizens flew from their resi-
dences. The people who gathered at
the station and on the streets stood
respectfully while Colonel Roosevelt
was placed in one of the Sycamore
Hill automobiles and hurried to his
home
This was because members of the
colonel's family had requested that the
proposed celebration be called off lest
it unduly excite him at the end of his
long journey from Chicago.
The village had planned celebra-
ton that would have warmed the can
didate's heart, were he well enough
to stand it. There were to be flags,
a band and all the demonstration that
goes with the return to his home of a
popular champion.
The colonels trip from Chicago was
one of the most extraordinary ever
undertaken by a candidate for the
presidency.
Unable, because of sheer weakness,
to show himself on the platform of
his private car, the progressive lead
er with blinds drawn in his state
room listened with throbbing heart to
the soft murmuring of eager throngs
as they clustered at stations along the
way. AS the train rolled into Pitts
burg last night the colonel, shaken up
by the jostling of the train, meekly
confessed to DR.. Alexander Lambert,
his New York physician, who with DR..
Scurry Terrell, is making the trip with
him, that he was tired out"
I'm going to put in sound night
of Sleep" he sighed. "I'll be all right
again in the morning"
The bullet nesting in the coloneps
chest and the spIintered rib gave him
more discomfort than the wounded
leader had counted on. AS the train
jolted at times the ex-president expert
enced piercing pain. But he. bore it
without a whimper
He asked for quiet, feeling himself
that he needed to conserve all the
strength at his command for the long
run to Oyster Bay. He seemed to
realize for the first time that carrying
bullet on a railroad Journey is moth
ing to be regarded lightly. Even a
Bull Moose when wounded has to look
out.
AS the train proceeded on its way
through the various states 1t became
evident that the crowds were out, not
to merely cheer the colonel. but to
show their sincere sympathy for him
I'm silent attitude. They would gaze
upon the car walk around 1t and talk
in muff1ed tones of the leader being
borne to his home to recover from the
assassiR's bullet

Last Year.

Madison-That the government in
Wisconsin for better roads has re-
ceived a great impetus through the
influence of the state highway COM
mission appears now fully in the
compilation just made by Chief En-
gineer A. r. Hirst of that body which
shows that towns and counties of
the state ask for state aid for high
way construction in 1913 in the sum
of $811,150 as compared with $453,-
All asked for in 1912. Only three
counties have failed to file petitions
for aid-Ozaukee, Sawyer and Wash
burn.
Under the law, however, it will be
impossible for the commission to
grant all the petitions in full for the
reason that the amount available for
state aid is only $378,000.
