torney McDonough, the center of the
agitation of the so-called "rum rebel

federal prohibition director and his
agents failed to get into communica-
ton with McDonogh, they set about to
locate the wine, over which all the
trouble was caused. Nine barrels of it
were found in the cellar of priest s
house where they had been placed for
safekeeping. The barrels were rolled
into the street. The agents knocked
the ends out of the barrels and let the
liquor run into the gutter. The con
ference scheduled to take place be-
tween Major Dalrymple and the state
officials has been postponed until such
time as the states official can be located.
The federal officers left this afternoon

COLBY TO SUCCEED LANSING
Widow OF Slain Man
Lunges at Loveday

| Mrs. Tony Pingatore, widow of the
man who was shot down in the Sherl-
dan Road garage by Earl Loveday or
one Of his pals last March, tried to
take the law into her own hand, just
little, over at the Office Of Chief
o Hare on Tuesday when she made a
vicious lunge at Loveday. A police Of
ficer stepped in between the widow
of the slain officer and the accused
man and he was hustled off to the
lookup. Mrs. Pingatore was not armed
and she sobbed a little after the Incl
dent. Loveday had his smile consid-
erably disturbed as a result Of the
incident.
1t was during a part of the busy a.

Of the little Pingatores with her. She
was also accompanied by her brother
in-law and the party made request
to be permitted to see the man who

father, husband or brother. Loveday

Kenosha Attorney Picked by
LaFollette Leaders a 5
First District Delegate
to Natl Convention.
MAY HELP NAME PRESIDENT
Old Time Fight Among Republicans Is
to Be Waged This Spring for Con-
troll of Party Machinery for the
Presidential Year.

Robert Verne Baker, well known
Kenosha attorney, may help name the
next President of the United States as
the committee in charge of selecting
district delegates to represent the fol
lowers of Senator Robert M. LaFollette
this morning named the Kenosha attor-
ney as one of the delegates to repre-
sent the first Wisconsin district at the
National Republican convention. The
other district delegate as named by the
committee is Fred Gilman of Evans
Vile. 1t is expected that the first
choice of these delegates will be Sena-
tor LaFollette, but they will not be
bound to his support through any long
period Of balloting. The candidates
for an uninstructed delegation in the
district are John M. Whitehead of
GAINESVILLE and Henry Lockney of Wau-
kesha.
Would Fight for Control.
It is understood that the action Of
the LaFollette wing of the party in
naming delegates-at-large and in every
district presages a battle for the con-
troll Of the machinery of the Republican
party in Wisconsin.
The wing of the patty which controls
the delegation to the national conven-
ton is pretty certain to be recognized
by the national organization in the
coming presidential campaign. A sharp
fight along the old lines is expected
from the two wings of the party.
Attorney Baker, who has been pick
ed as the leader Of the delegation for
the senator in this district has been
much in the political limelight. He
has been regarded as the IF the
Progressive Republican lion
of the state for seve-
Served as
Attorney Baker was mana ) post
master Of Kenosha during the period
that he was most active in the work
Of this wing of the party. He was
credited with being leader in the
Cooper campaign two years ago and
much Of his political activity has been
in connection with the LaFollette wing
of the party
Undoubtedly Mr.. Baker will be given
wide support in this county for the
Office of delegate to the national CON
vention.

BAsELEss AND BROKEN DOWN.

The senate committee to investigate Call
paign funds gave immediate, full attention to
every charge of corruption made by Governor
Cox. Every man In a position to know the facts
was questioned under oath and made to produce
all the records, books and vouchers In his pos
session But nothing was established except
the utter baselessness of the governor sensa
!tional allegations. No evidence was disclosed
Iof slush fund of thirty million dollars or OF
fifteen million dollars or of ten million dollars
ior of any slush fund of any amount to - buy the
presidency" or to get . an underhold upon the
government or for any improper purpose
whatsoever
Senator Harding has made no charges of cor
iruption, but the committee being bipartisan
and fair, inquired into the democrat campaign
fund and uncovered certain interesting facts.
1t appears that Barney Baruch, who has ENJOY
ed the presidents confidence to an exceptional
degree and to whom the great man slipped
voucher of one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars day In Paris, merits the friendship and
peculiar consideration he has received for he
has contributed in all one hundred and ten thou
sand dollars towards the campaign being made
to put Governor Cox In the presidential office.
1t developes also that the national convention
in San Francisco was attended by attaches OF the
attorney generals Office, by officials under the
secretary of agriculture, and United States mar
shals and other federal officials who went to
the coast at that time on government bust
ness as shown by their vouchers on file, and
that In many cases the expenses OF their trip
were charged up against the government.
The charge of an attempt to ''buy the presi-
dency', was simply wild and childish state
ment made by man brought up in school OF
politics where campaigning by faisehood and
mud throwing is considered the proper thing.
The four national candidates are four wholly
different types of men. Senator Harding and
Governor Coolidge discuss big issues broadly,
candidly, fairly, and have never by word or hint
or innuendo attempted to smirch, discredit OF
misrepresent their opponents. Americans pre-,
fer the clean and honorable method in political
campaigns.
