quiries and talk with people on trains
and In the towns where ! stopped re-
garding the political situation. have
been reading numsrous communications
emlnating from the secretary Of the La
Toilette committee here in lincoln in
local papers to the effect that La Toilette
sentiment was blooming in Nebraska and
citing numerous incidents where PRO
gressive republicans have said that they
would vote for a democrat in the event
Of the denomination Of President Taft. !"
and IL was with considerable fear and
trembling that l opened up q converse
ton with q gentleman who occupied a
seat with me soon after leaving lincoln.
for fear that l might be overwhelmed
with argument in favor Of the Wisconsin
statesman. However. my fears were set
at rest when he informed me that he was
democrat and that he was from Ok
lshoma where he owned farm He said
that most OF his neighbors were repub-
leans but did not seem very favorable
to Senator La Toilette. preferring Pres
ident Taft as between the two In fact
found this sentiment to prevail in
nearly every instance and while / dis
covered republicans who were for La
Toilette, not single one Of them felt
that they would vote for democrat in
preference TO President Taft and one
man made considerable sport Of the idea
that any republican who was really pro-
gressive would be so unprogressivs as to
vote for any democrat In preference 10
the president. Lincoln seems to be the
hot bed Of La Folietteism. probably from
the fact that there are 30 many repub-
iieans here who voted for Mr.. Bryan
three years ago and find IL hard work
to leave the downward road after once
striking the decline. From my experience
last week l cannot see how any man,
unless he be prejudlced, can see La
