The last Of the so-called La Fol-
lette delegation to be heard from is
Judge T.. H. Williamson. of Oacama,
who goes into the newspapers to
state that he wants it understood
that is he a supporter of Of Mr. Taft
and that he is not a candidate for
delegate to the national convention
as a supporter Of La Toilette.
The Sc statesmen who went down
to Sioux Falls to take the La Fol-
lette movement out of the hands of
the representatives delegated by the
Huron convention of September
have given the real La Toilette or
~ganization of the state sufficient in
centive for action 10 overturn a
reasonable conspiracy by the office
holders.
The men who pioneered the cause
Of the Wisconsin senator in South
Dakota and declared themselves to
be in favor of his presidential candi-
dacy in advance of any other state
organization will hardly be diverted
from their purpose by outside in
reference with an Interior purpose
behind it.
They r in q position to test the
temper of the constituency by SUBJ
hitting to the primary a ticket of
bonafide La Toilette supporters and
it IS hardly to be presumed that
they will permit themselves to be
sidetracked by an aggregation of
half breeds and mongrelS in politics
who WAIVER and yield and scurry for
the band wagon upon the first IN
timation that the colonel is to enter

now twenty three cents a ton a
mile. In England and Europe the
cost of hauling is less than four
cents a ton a mile. More than two
hundred and slxty-five million tons
of freight are hauled annually over
the roads to the markets of the
United States. Then. if by good
roads the cost of hauling be reduced
from twenty-three cents to ten cents
per mile "a, $50. 900 dollars will be
saved to the farmers of the United

only by having the whole country
