the trouble from dogs comes from the
vagrant homeless ones. The new law
requires that every dog in the state
must have license tag before July

male dogs and $500 for female. Any
dog found without a license tag after
July 1st will be seized by any peace
officer and if not reclaimed within

some humane manner. Assessors are

My Dear Mr.. West:-I have been so
busily engaged in important matters
here that | have had no opportunity to
give any consideration to the matter
Of the election of delegates to the Ma
tional Convention at Chicago. | have
just been going over the list of unin-
atructed delegates, and am glad to
ind that you are one Of the four at
large. | sincerely hope that all of the
list CE 'uninstructed" delegates will
be elected. They are men who, if elect
ed will use their own independent
judgment for the best interests of the
country and the party.
Wisconsin can, if it will, have a
large influence at the National Con-
vention, but only if the delegates e.
lected are known to be independent
and not under the control of or sub
iect to the dictation of any Individual
The delegates should represent the
will of the people electing them, not
the will of some man not before the
voters at this time. In other words,
they should use their own judgment
as to what is for the best interests of
the people and not allow anyone to do
their thinking for them.
| have been informed that the plac-
ing of the opposing list of delegates
III the field is the beginning of an or
ganized fight to defeat me next fall
at the primary. While the result of
the delegate election will not neces-
sarily affect the result of the Septem-
Der primary, | hope that my friends
will not vote the ticket supported by,
my opponents and thus encourage
them.
[ hope to see a Republican candi-
date nominated who is Progressive,
and also a Progressive platform a.
dopted. If the uninstructed delegates
are elected, they will really partici-
pate in the proceedings of the Con-
vention and not merely stand at one
side and criticise it. Wisconsin Re-
publicans can best aid in securing such
a candidate and such a platform by
supporting the uninstructed dele
gates.
With best wishes or your success.
and for that of all of the delegates as
ISOLATED with you, I remain
Yours very sincerely,
I. L. LENROOT.
