Setback for La Toilette.

Wisconsin politics. always interesting has taken
number of surprising phases in this campaign.
With standpat governor of the Badger Stalwart
cult in the executive mansion and candidate for
reelection, with apparently fair chance of Sue
cess, the Democrats are figuring earnestly to elect
Burt Williams to the governorshp
Senator La Toilette seeking reelection, is not
lending any assistance to the State or national
that that he is trading with the Democrats for
support.
However, the Democrats themselves have a
candidate for United States Senator who is putting
up warm fight. He is William F. Wolfe, widely
known in the State and persuasive campaigner
Henry F. Cochems, who before he became
leader in the Wisconsin division of the Progressive
party one of the most popular members of
the Republican organization, recently when in New
York announced that he was for Hughes. This
pleased the Republicans immensely, for Cochcms
is personality to be taken into campaign calcua-
tions in Wisconsin. But, as soon as he returned
to his home in Milwaukee, he caused considerable
dismay in the La Toilette camp by declaring that
and had cast his hat in the ring as hacker of
Wolfe, the Democratic nominee.
For at least four years." said Mr.. Cochems
"Mr. La Toilette has consistently defeated the
progressive pursuit of principle in order to punish
persons, individuals and friends"
The Socialist vote is growing in Wisconsin, not
only in Milwaukee, but throughout the State This
element of the electorate is likely to influence the
result of the election to an extent never before
seen.

BERESFORD SEES VITAL
MISTAKE GERMANS MADE

Admiral Lord Beresford. the English
naval strategist, believes that. had Ger
many taken advantage Of the opportunity
offered at the beginning. OF the war. the
EnGlish would have been defeated. In
letter to Col r. NJ Thompson, president
OF the Navy League of the United States,
Admiral Beresford says:
IF the Germans had attacked us first
without a declaration Of war. and sent
what they could have semitic cruisers
and armed merchant simpson to our un-
protected trade routes, We would have
been brought to our knees in a couple Of
months. They could have put down 1000
ships IN the first week, and il we had had
three times the number Of DTeadnoughts
it would have awaited us nothing.
IF the Germans had carried out that
plan, they could have got into Paris. COM
PEELED peace with France, and then been
in st. Petersburg in a short time. and be
come the dominant power Of Europe and
world, possibly for a century"

One of the most novel campaign arguments
published recently is that in whole page of the
New York Sun, under the caption, Lest we for

els clippings from New York newspapers pub
lished since President Wilson entered the White
House giving graphic evidence of the business de-
preston that upon this country prior to the
outbreak of the European war. Some of the head
lines are as follows: $4,000 Men Without Jobs
in This City," 5000 Steel Workers Out" LESS
Foreign Trade Under New Tariff" "Out of Work
Army Largest in Years" Many Homeless in Dis

the prosperity of today will end with the war.

HALLOWEEN.

HALLOWEEN.
Tonight the ghosts of other days
Go marching gaily by,
And friends long lost to mortal gaze
Once more rejoice the eye.
The good, the i'll, that we have done,
Each passes in review;
The battles lost the battles won,
The hollow sham, the true
God knows what spectres we shall see,
What good or evil sprite
Will rise up in the memory
Upon this hallowed night,
But this l know if in the mass
They prove of joy or sorrow,
Whateer their kind they soon will pass
And leave me still tomorrow.

~The high cost of white paper on which to
print reports of the high cost of living is no
small problem in itself" remarks the Chicago
Herald. To which might be added the observa-
tion that if some of the white paper were used
for the writing of indictments against persons who
fradulently increase the cost of living there might
be less reason to worry about the high cost of
white paper

Much stress was laid upon the Importance of

failed to pass for it supposed that this bill
was necessary in order to allow manufacturers to
combine for foreign trade without violation of the

which was recently formed, with the approval of

arranged without regard to the Webb bill. Wheth-

The Adamson bill arbitrarily fixes tbe Dr;c. -
be paid by the railroads to a certain class of en-
ployes for days work. Neither Mr. Wilson nor

this; The failure of Mr.. Wilson or his supporters
to deny this is admission that the bill does fix
the price to be paid for a days work

the passage of this law defend the right of Con
gress or any other Legislative body arbitrarily to
