WISCONSIN IS NOW
POLITICAL BEDLAM
Neither Side Dares Claim Vic
tory Because of La Fol-
Iette's Course.
EFFORTS TO CRUSH HIM
BY N. O. MESSENGER.

CHICAGO, October 13.-Reports reach
ing both political headquarters here de-
scribe Wisconsin as a political mad
house." Neither the democratic nor the
republican management is able at this
time to claim the state. The dominant
figure in this bedlam is Senator La Fol-
lette, running for reelection on the re-
publican ticket. Senator La Toilette has
not mentioned the name Of Hughes In a
single speech he has made. 1t is his pres
ent purpose to go through the campaign,
speaking in every county in the state,
without once uttering the name of the
republican presidential candidate.
La Toilette. who won his denomination
over the intensely bitter opposition of
the standpat republicans headed by Gov.
Phillips, while not voicing the name OF
Hughes, is basing his chances of re-elec-
ton upon a daily and nightly denuncia-
tion Of the attitude Of the republican
presidential candidate La Toilette is

paign tour. was making his two-day

left the state La Toilette started his
campaign with a blistering arraign-
ment Of everything the pref idential
candidate advocated. He has kept it
up ever since.
Dilemma Of Regular Republicans.
La Toilette voted for the Underwood
tariff law and for the Adamson eight
hour bill. His discussion of these issues
| can scarcely be termed a defense of his
position. On the contrary, it is a scorn-
full excoriation of the opposition in the
republican party to these measures
The La Toilette position is that the
necessity Of explaining rests on the
other side. He is glorying in his record
| of support of the Wilson legislative
program and swapping his fingers in
| the race of the critics within the re-
| publican party from Judge Hughes
down.

has developed into one of extreme bit

The extent of increases in the price
of bread, or decreases in the weight of
loaves, during the four months from

figures from forty-five of the coun-
try's principal Industrial centers made
public today by the bureau of labor
statistics. Bakers in reports to the
bureau gave as reasons the increased
cost of materials and ingredients. espe-
ciaIly flour. Changes in prices and
weights have been most numerous dur
ing the last two months, which the fig
ures cover.
Report on 21O Brands.
OF 210 brands of bread that retailed
for S cents and weighed Is ounces or
more on May 10, only IA remained at
the same price and weight on Septem-
ber 15. Some bakers are reported to
have met the cost advances by discon-
tinuing wholesale business, substitu-
tion of brands. presumably cheaper,

May flour was $5.4s barrel wholesale
and $7.62 retail. leaving margin Of
$2.14 to cover transportation, retailers
expenses and profits, and usual jobbers'
expenses and profits between the mill
and the retailer. In September the
margin was S1.9O a barrel. 1t is made
clear that the figures are market mar
gins rather than profits as retail prices
do not always follow wholesale prices
promptly. The retail price of bread
before baking in May was 0o6: In
price of 1O.45 ounces of flour in one
pound of bread before baking, assum-
ing 300 loaves to the barrel, in May

Refuses to Cancel Charter.

The record in this case discloses,"
says the court, mo such situation as
would justify the exercise Of the dis
cretion vested in the court to the ex-
tent that the charter of this public
service corporation should be declared
forfeited because twenty years before
the passage of the act in question it
acquired stock in another corporation;
especially when the corporation re-
quests the aid of the court in dispos-
ing of the stock.
Moreover, it is held in many well
considered cases that where a corpora
tion is vested by its charter with vari-
Gus powers and violates only one of
them. and that one is separab1e from
the others, the court will act only with
reference to the power which has been
abused. Under this reasonable rule,
