Although the league had not made
as extended preparations for this cele-
bration as it otherwise would have
done If there had been more time, it
nonetheless was successful in adding
substantial sum to the amounts
hitherto collected through the various

The members of the league found a
preponderance of Progressive senti-
ment to exist among those with whom
they talked, especially among the coun-
try people. A large number of both
men and women from the country Wis
tied the booths and stated that, in
their various localities, Progressive
sentiment predominated. But whatev-
er other Progressive candidates they
were or were not for, they were all for
Beyeridge for governor.
