STILL IN THE FIGHT
LA TOILETTE is STILL IN RACE
FOR PRESIDENTIAL NOM
NATION
HIS STATEMENT MISREPRESENTED
South Dakota Prosressives Say They
Will Send La Toilette Delega-
ton to Chicago

Washington, d. G.. February 13--
Never in the history of American pol
itics has candidate been so misrep-
resented, not only as to his princi-
pies, but to his actual statements. as
Senator La Toilette.
Senator La Toilette has been work
ing increasingly for years and he is
tired He is not permanently dis
abled, although newspaper reports
during the last week have conveyed
the idea that he is in a condition of
collapse. Mr.. La Toilette has been
compelled to take few weeks rest,
and Walter l.. Houser, chairman of
the Progressive Republican Cam
paign Committee, issued a statement
setting forth that fact This state
ment was construed by large por-
ton OF the press, to be withdrawal
of Mr.. La Toilette from the contest
Such construction could only be
placed upon it by the desire of those
whose interests would be served by
the retirement of Mr. La Toilette
from the contest The statement is
as follows:
Senator La Toilette finds it nee
essary to take few weeks rest.
This may prevent his making
speeches in the states which are to
hold early primaries, and his friends
in those states will make such cam
paign for him as in their Judgment
will best serve the progressive prin-
ciples which his candidacy represents
in any state where his friends
find it impossible because of his
present liability 40 fill speaking en-
gagements, to secure the election of
delegates for him, they will best
serve the progressive cause by in
structing delegates, where they find
it possible to do so, for the thorough
going and definite principles which
he has advocated and aided in en-
bodying in progressive statutes, pro
posed in constructive measures which
he has introduced in the United
States Senate, and in the addresses
which he has already made in this
campaign.
Senator La Toilette was urged
to become a candidate by the most
active Progressive Republicans of the
country because they believed that
he, better than any other man, by
the whole course of his political
career, represented those principles.
He would never have consented to
stand as candidate, except in good
faith. Though he finds his plans in
terfered with by his temporary in
disposition, in fulfillment Of the i'm
piled pledge which his candidacy
made to those who have always be-
leved in the sincerity and cOnstancy
OF his purposes, mis- name will be pre-
sented to the National Republican
Convention and delegates win make
an aggressive contest for his nomina-
tion and for strong progressive
platform.
"To this end, the Progressive Re-
publican Campaign Committee will
devote it's best efforts.
Whatever time Senator La Fol
lette can devote to the campaign af-
ter taking a needed rest for a few
weeks, will be given subject to such
demands as his official duties make
upon him.
"W. L. HOUSER."

The Florida Land Frauds

The Chicago Packer is keeping up
the good work Of exposing the land
frauds that have been going on in
Florida for several years Munsey's S
magazine has given some desultory
attention to this matter in the past,
but the Packer has taken the matter
up with an apparent determination
to fight it to a finish. In it's issue
of the 3rd it tells of a woman who
had bought land there and found it
covered with water. The Packer
gives the name Of woman, the
name of the concern that sold the
land and the Chicago representatives
The postal authorities are after a
years ago, Joseph Wing, writing from
Florida to the Breeders Gazette, said
Il wonder why the postal authorities
don't issue a fraud order against
these people" 1t seems that the gov.
ernment authorities have awakened
to the situation If such frauds pre-
vailed in Wisconsin there would be a
row resembling revolution 1t seems
important that these frauds should be
mentioned, in view of the fact that
the decent people of Florida are ex-
erting themselves to secure exposure.

the high school assembly room last

1t is the intention Of the Progress
sive Republican Campaign Committee
TO prosecute the campaign for Mr..
La Toilette with all the vigor of
which it is capable. The construc-
tion which was placed upon the
above statement by the interests
press cause panicky feeling in the
ranks of the Progressives in some of
the states. 1t was not until they re-
ceived the full statement and knew
exactly the situation, that it was
realized that La Toilette had been
misrepresented and that advantage
was taken of temporary withdrawal
of his activities from the campaign
to make the claim that he had per-
manently retired from the contest

There Is hardly a profession, trade

And few, indeed. are the publications
of this kind that do not devote a week.

side" of the branches Of human activ-

technical humor has twofold interest
for the layman. that Of the jokes and
anecdotes he can appreciate on the
one hand and that Of those which are
1ncomprehensible to him on the other.
He finds no difficulty, for instance,
in the familiar anecdote Of the bank
presidents daughter who. on being
informed that her account was over.
drawn. severely told the paying teller
mot to let It happen again or she
would have to speak to papa about it; :"
but he would very likely be unable to
see the humor Of q banking story
whose point lay 1esome detail Of the
routine Of the clearing house. And yet
the latter might be BY far the better
of the two. The fun Of the story of
the new boy, In the machine shop who
ia told to fetch bucket Of steam from
the engine room IL obvious enough,
but that Of an anecdote turning on

struction will appeal only to the 1ni-
tiate." Medicine has its strictly pro-
fessional anecdotes OF sickroom, con-
sulting room and operating room,
many Of which would be grisly to

amusement, its tales of the amazing

chiefly of Irish and German nativity.
The church and the law, the arts and
the sciences all have this double form
Of humor. No doubt even the under.

The body Of humor. keeps close step
with progress and development in all
