From the Milwaukee sentinel.

fFOu GuS milwaukee, SenllnSl.
The Wausau Record Herald re-
marks that no one need be. afraid
that E. L. Philip will allow the
repeal of any of the good laws which
have been placed upon the statute
books during the last fifteen years.
Certainly not.
Mr.. Philip is broad enough to
praise and treat a law or a commits
sion on its merits; and if it is a good
law or good commission it will be
treated as such, even though it has
Mr.. LaFOllette's trade mark on it..
Gentlemen at Madison who have
taken seriously the cackle about Mr..
Phillip being "tory," "reation-
ary," and so on, and who therefore
dread a ruthless and vindictive
prescription at his hands, dom t know
the man. That's all.
He is too big to be bigot. But
the demonstrable abuses and the pay
roll parasites will have to go, or he
will know the reason why. The
people want substantial change
They have nominated the man from
whom they expect to get it.
