The two Milwaukee dailies that have
given McGovern his strongest support
in the present and past campaigns, take
strong ground against him in his pres
ent dishonorable course, say of him:
The Journal: In embracing Roosevelt
ism Gov. McGovern has virtually sever
ed all ties connecting himself with Sem
ator La Toilette. He has prdcticdllyde-
serted the senator in order to follow the
Rough Rider. No matter how effective
the temporary truce between the sena-
tor and the governor may be during the
present campaign, which is the only
period which it covers, one does not
need to be far-sighted in order to real
iZe that after Nov. their paths will
not be the same, nor even parallel.
For this reason every vote cast for
Roosevelt will be vote against Sena-
tor La Toilette and the progressive re-
publican cause as distinguished from
Roosevelt and his progressive party.

GOVERNOR MccovKRE's BOLT
IS UNIVERSALLY CONDENSED

The state republican press is red
headed" over the bolt Of Governor Nc
Govern from the party ticket to the
believing Bull Moose fake. With rare
exceptions the papers are demanding
that the bolter resign the nomination
he secured under false pretenses from
republicans at the late primaries.
There is universal condemnation for
his remaining silent concerning his po-
litical loose faith until he was safely
nominated by republicans. Nowhere
is this attitude more tartly punctured
for its brazenness of intent and purpose
than in the last issue Of La Follette's
Magazine. Read what the Senator
says:
''Since the last issue of La Follette's,
Nc Govern has plunged bodily into the
| Roosevelt tar bDrTel.
If anything were needed to inter-
pref the true significance Of his course at
Chicago (desertion of La Follette's can
didacy) bis action at this time is quite
conclusive.

eIpOr Of Wisconsin,.
Following are few comments from
many hundred:
6,llsboro Sentry: Real progressives
cannot conscientiously vote for Meow
ern. Since he betrayed the people of
Wisconsin at Chicago he is not to be
trusted again. The progressive move
meDt is so important that the people
cannot afford to take chances with a
leader who would betray it at the first
opportunity that presents itself. The
best thing for the governor to do is to
resign the republican nomination. Any
man who is at heart a progressive,
either republican or democrat, who sim
cerely believes in the principles for
which Senator La Toilette has been
| fighting, cannot possibly even consider
Roosevelt in the light of a progressive.
Westby Times: Wanted-A republi-
can candidate for governor of Wiscon-
| sin. The unexpected has again hap
pened. Governor McGovern has joined
the bull moosers. What's next?
Necedah Republican, r. L. Ware
editor, former resident of VirOqua,
n a peppery half .breed: 1--WE all
knew when McGovern bolted in Chica-
go at the national republican conven-
tion that he had gone wrong. He ac-
cepted the exalted and trusted position
as leader of the La Toilette delegation
at that convention. Some unseen force
or power influenced him to desert his post
and he was influenced to bolt for Teddy.
McGovern failed in purpose but not in
tent. Now he says he cannot or will
not support the head of the republican
national ticket. We cannot, or will
not support the head of the state tick
ct. So, there. IFS
The republican party has no candidate
for governor. Karel ought to have the
undivided support of both republicans
and democrats alike. Karel has the
back bone and strength of character to
stand for things he islands for. Nc
Govern is sample of two ply BRISTOL

Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1912-10-09

Free Press: Governor McGovern
should resign as the head of the repub-
lican ticket in Wisconsin. No other
course is possible in homer and consist
ency. The time to have declared his
new political faith was before the pri-
maries. The consistent and honorable
course would have been to refrain from
running on the republican ticket. But
il expediency prompted him to do this,
the dictates of good faith and common
honesty should have compelled him to
acquaint the public with his change of
politics. There is Just one place for
him, if he is insistent on seeking re-
election, one place where he can run
honestly and consistently. and that is
on the Bull Moose ticket, if the pro-
gressive party chooses to put him there.
