Madison, Wis, Feb. 23.-In reply to
a telegram sent him by recent con-
ference of progressive republicans OF
Wisconsin pledging their loyal sup
port to the end, LaFollette has given
this reply:
Without one word I should have
known where to find you all. No
where are there braver. brainier fight
ers for human rights. Trained and
seasoned in many battles you never
swerve from the right course Again
and again you have made what those
without vision call defeat the very
cornerstone of great and lasting vic
tory. We are facing a civic crisis.
The demand for better control of
government and just solution or our
economic and social problems is ma
tionwide. The progressive platform
must be thoroughly constructive and
uncompromising on the great issues
that now are to be fought out to a
finish. 1t is no time for a compro-
mise, either on principles or men. II
was the uncompromising course in
Wisconsin that secured the wise and
progressive statutes which distin-
guish our commonwealth. STANDING
solidly together we will continue the
Wisconsin way until it is the nation
way. ] believe that timf .t,s near al
hand.

An interesting meeting of the Wom-

held at Mrs. J. w. Fletcher's Tuesday
afternoon. The topic was 1.-THE

not only get but give by taking our
temperance state paper, Home Guards.
Every member of our unions ought to
take the paper which is only 20 cents
year. If 20 names can be secured
in each union it would put our paper
on a pay ing basis, also enlarge it and
make it more interesting. 1t was

Failing of the Race,

The advice of the old lawyer to his
son was that no matter what his re-
lations with womankind he should
never write a love letter and never
destroy one. 1t is probable that this
counsel of perfect wisdom fell on deaf
ears, for when any particular man Is
consumed by a fever for any particu-
lar woman he at once commences
writing love letters.
