Iette Progressives in many instances
were friendly to Kittle, the defeat of
Kittle appears to have pleased NcGov-
ern men. 1t required an elaborate
stretch of imagination, however, tc
reach the conclusion that Governor
McGovern or the McGovern organiza-
ton materially assisted Mr.. Cary. 1t
will be remembered that the governor
in public speech denounced Cary
for the position he assumed In his
now notable university letters. If the
governors forces later became more
friendly to Cary it was merely because
the La Toilette forces were friendly
to Kittle. 1t is understood that Nc
Govern men in Milwaukee county
made an elevnth hour fight for Cary,
but outside of that it is not likely that
the governor helped the state super
intendent in his singIe-handed fight.
AS matter of plain truth, Mr.. Cary
appears to be the real reason for the
election of Mr.. Cary.
The state superintendent has in
Dictated that he intends to issue
statement on the election. During the
campaign he maintained that the Of
flee should be removed from politics
as much as possible and gave that as
the reason why he was not making
hustling campaign. In his state
ment following his election, Cary ex-
pressed the opinion that the vote in
Dictated that the people of the state
wanted the superintendency taken out
of politics.
Cash for Injured Workmen.
An important addition has been
made to the amendment to the work
mans compensation act. The amend
ment to the amendment provides COM
pensation up to $3.50 for injured work
men, who suffer Disagreement, the
theory being that personal disf1gure-
ment often makes it difficult to Sc
cure employment.
The Carpenter bill creating a COM
mission to look into the feasibility of
removing the state fair from Milwau-
kee will be recommended for passage
The creation of this commission
will be followed by lively public hear
ings in which cities wishing to secure
the fair will present their claims.
Madison, through a committee of citi-
zens, including in its membership
some of the best known businessmen
here, will make a strong bid for the
fair, and the sentiment favoring the
capital city appears to be rapidly
crystallizing. Former Mayor J. c.
Schubert, representing, Madison's com
mittee of citizens, appeared before a
joint committee of the france commit
tees of the assembly and the senate
and spoke in favor of the Carpenter
bill
eve were informed" said Mr.. Schu-
bert, that there existed throughout
the state a feeling that the state fair
should be removed from Milwaukee.
In Justice to Milwaukee and the citi-
zens of the state our committee has
conducted an investigation to ascer-
tain the facts. We found that such
feeling exists and that it is general.
90 Per Cent Favor New Site.
eve sent out about 300 circular let
ters asking people, mainly exhibitors
at the state fair, if they thouaht that
the fair should be removed from Mil
waukee. These letters were mailed
about a week ago and already we have
received so replies, and 80 per cent of
these are in favor Of new site for
the fair. The letters were mailed to
exhibitors in all classes. Among those
who believe that the fair should re-
main in Milwaukee was the LARGEST
bee exhibitor at the fair. His motive
was a selfish one, as he frankly admit
ted that it was an easy matter for him
to dispose of in Milwaukee the carload
of honey that he displays each year at
the fair.
eve feel that the bill to create a
commission to make careful investi-
cation of the situation ought to be
passed. All cities desiring to secure
the fair would then be given an equal
chance to present their claims, and
the legislature would have in hand a
complete and intelligent summary of
the entire situation"
State Emergency Fund.
At a joint meeting of the legislative
committees on finance it was practi-
cally decided to recommend for pass
age the bill introduced by Assembly
man Holmes of Madison providing for
state rgency fund to be used by
the state cases of disaster and
epidemics
This bill is of particular interest be-
cause of the clause which opens the
way for the purchase by the state of
the so-called Friedman cure for tu-
berculosis or any cure which is ap-
proved by the government health de-
partment at Washington. Mr.. Holmes
appeared before the committee and
spoke for the bill. l.. w. Hutchcrofe
of the state board of health was also
present and urged the committee to
make a. favorable report upon the
