Because refrigerator cars were used
during the winter for shipping beer
when great quantities Of potatoes, a
perishable food, were being held back
from the consuming cities through the
inability of growers and shippers to
secure an adequate number of refrig-
orator cars, only one-half of the nor
NAL shipments were made.
This is the finding of the special
legislative committee created to inves-
tigate the Wisconsin potato situation
and make recommendations to Govern
or E. L. Philip. The report was filed
with the governor Saturday night.

was any need for waking up on the

we certainly got it. So many good

is to be used as seed.
Mr.. SWenson issued a statement
in which he commended the spirit oi
the hotel men. ''It shows they are pa

INDIANA MAN On
BADGER POLITICS

On Friday night at the courthouse
State Senator Robert E. Proctor of
Elkhart, Ind, discussed Wisconsin pol
itics. He came in the interest of Jo-
seph E. Davies, Democratic candidate
for United States senator. Mr.. Proc
tor presented certain phases of the
war and the case of Mr.. Davies. The
Marshall speech at Madison and Gov
ernor Philips speech at Reedsburg
were discussed and other phases of
the campaign dwelt upon. When he
spoke of the partisan feeling that
was creeping into the campaign a
voice in the audience desired to know
who started it. Other words were ex.
changed and after the meeting me re
interrogatives were put forth The
wordy battle did not end until a round
had been exchanged in the Warren
house. After it was all over Mr.. Proc
tor said this was the first real excite
ment that he had had since coming
into Wisconsin.
Evidently from his viewpoint Mr..
Proctor would have the people believe
there are more disloyal people in the
state than there really are. From
what he said this seems to be the i'm
preston outside the state. He found
his audience most loyal, although all
did not agree with him. He was ap-
plauded many times.
