All the political lookouts hereabouts
have their spy glasses trained today on
the La Toilette boom, which is looming
large in the offing. The people Of Wiscon-
sin will speak at the primaries April 2,
Nebraska April II and Oregon April 10.
An interesting contest between La Fol-
lette and Roosevelt is expected in those
states.
That there is intense feeling on the part
of the La Toilette men against Roosevelt
is evidenced by the statement given out
at La Toilette headquarters here last
night on the North Dakota contest, as
follows:
The outcome was clean-cut victory
for progressive republicanism and a sting
ing defeat for the reactionaries of the
party. who were banked in a solid mass
behind the candidacy of Col. Roosevelt.
No adroitly worded statement of cam
paign managers can obscure the facts
back of this North Dakota campaign or
minimize the Importance of the result.
The Roosevelt campaign in North Da-
kota was managed by reactionaries.
Rooseveit's defeat was a defeat for the
reactionaries, the standpatters and po-
litical tricksters of that state, who are
all fighting for him. La Follette's victory
was a reactionary defeat. A Roosevelt
victory would have been a progressive de-
feat.

GlaGs. one was one in whom nerv"
1sness had become mannerism. When
he rose tn speak he began with few
gracious words on the speech which
he was about to follow or some point
ed remark as to the character and i'm.
portance of the subject. In his earlier
days this was no doubt to get his
breath" His next act was to raise
his right hand over his head, the thumb
bent down, and gently scratch his
skull That is rather common among
public speakers. The third action OF
Mr.. Gladstone was his peculiar and
individual sign. Throwing his arms
downward by his side, he would with
his fingers seize the cuffs Of his coat
and draw these down over his shirt
cuffs so as to conceal them completely.
The ordinary practice is just the re-
verse, the desire being to expose and
not conceal the white linen of the shirt
cuffs. These were the invariable pre-
ludes to the great commOner's speeches.
