The Watertown weekly leader. [volume] (Watertown, Jefferson County, Wis.) 1912-1917, 1915-11-30

On this subject it might not be amiss
to mention, while passing, that La
Toilette is 'still among u.s." and any
man or set Of men who think he is a
dead one have another think coming.
True, the senior senator's magnetic
drawing qualities are not what they
were, and many of his acts and votes
in the federal senate make his friends
look askance at his particular brand
OF republicanism, which, many claim
has placed him iii the political mon
grel class, and the recent expose taken
from Uncle Ike's autobiography may
ALLEVIATE some of his strength; yet the
fact remains that Senator La Toilette
today is a tower of strength in Wiscon-
sin, besides being an organizer and
political general who rules his fol-
lowers with a tzar-like knCut which
appears to cause them to cry for more
lashes when he sees fit to make the
application. AS above suggested, the
senior senator is "still among u.s." and
it will require considerable well di-
rected attrition to eliminate him.

Another man who will cut no small
figure in the race for governor is Ed
ward F. Dithmar of Baraboo. Mr..
Dithmar is at present lieutenant-gov-
ernor, and is a La Toilette creature
pure and simple. However, he is well
known throughout the state, and the
senator's influence behind him is not
the only strength he might develope.
1t has been limited that one string on
his harp has been tuned to sound a
note against the governors Office being
ruled from Milwaukee, and the point
taken is not altogether bad one.

ern-all are from the metropolis

strength and should by right have the
most to say in the state house; but
Mr. Dithn1ar can easily point out that
Milwaukee has had 100 per cent un-
broken say in the governors Office for
six consecutive years, and to give
someone in the provinces" a chance
would not be bad politics. And should

The papers of the state are not say
ing much on the subject, but the
thought will not down in Watertown,
and is not infrequently mentioned
among the political wiseacres, that
Mayor Bading of Milwaukee will shy
his gubernatorial costor into the ring,
especially if Mr.. Philip should desire
to go the United States senate. Such
a move would not be displeasing to
many party workers-in fact there is
no little sentiment for our eastern
neighbor mayor-but Mr.. Bading does
not want to try for the highest office
in the state and at the same time start
in by kidding himself by working the
demand from the people" joke Should
he presume to try such tactics he will
certainly find the silence deafening.
Mr.. Bading either wants to serve the
state as chief executive, or he does
not, and his friends are legion who
await his affirmative decision

Clinton, JAM 30.-The unusual spec

was offered in the district court here
today. Two wills were offered as the
last testament of John Rogers. who
died in the poor house. One was Of
fered by F.. w. Leedham city clerk. in
which he is named as beneficiary. The
other is offered by Mrs. Jane Madden
a former neighbor Of Rogers.
Rogers lived alone and had no near
kin He was lonesome and was per-
suaded to so to the poor house to end
his days. He made out will leav-
ing his little house and approximately
5000 in cash to Mrs. Madden in recog-
milton of kindness shown him. Aftel
his death City Clerk Leedham produced
will executed subsequent to the one
in which Mrs. Madden was beneficiary.
1t was the attempt to probate this will
that brought on. the contest.
Dispute Over Dates.
The contestants declared Rogers hac
been at the county farm three weeks
before the so-called "Leedham will
was executed ana tIldt he ndu Hol lei'
the farm at any time after arriving
there. The I.eedham forces allege that
Rogers did not so to the county farm
until after the last will was drawn UP
and that Mr.. Leedham then took him
there himself. They produced wit
nesses who declared they saw Rogers
sign the will and then witnessed it.
The contestants called the county
farm custodian with his records. Those
showed Rogers entry at the date
claimed by the contestants. but the
custodian acknowledged that he had
not made the entry at the time OF
Rogers arrival. He was positive, how
ever, that he had done so within a
few days afterward. With the ques-
ton then of the whereabouts of John
Rogers at the date the second will was
executed the jury retired. They had
not reported up to late hour today.
